No matter what range of emotion you're feeling towards another character, the best way to express it is to say their name—preferably in either a hoarse whisper or scenery-chomping cry. Even if no one's around to hear you, just thinking about that character is enough of a prompt. It's all but required if you're in the midst of rescuing your True Companion/Love Interest currently facing imminent doom, you're running towards each other in romantic rapture, or when your mortal enemy has simply gone too far. Sometimes those last two get confused.
Additionally, if your show features Loads and Loads of Characters this also serves a narrative purpose: When they appear again after not being seen for three arcs, clearly stating their name once more helps the viewer identify and remember them.
Of course there are times (especially in anime) when they overdo it (see Big Word Shout)...
Characters saying their own name can also fall under this trope, but if they do it incessantly, not for dramatic effect, that's Pokémon Speak.
Many instances of this trope in Japanese works may also fall under First Name Basis. In Japanese culture, it is customary to use last names plus an honorific (usually "san", sometimes "senpai" for one's elders, "kun" for underlings, "dono" or "sama" for works set in older times, etc.) when addressing someone else, even directly (they rarely use the pronoun for "you" in formal settings although they do have a few for informal situations). Children, especially girls, will often use first names with friends, although adults will usually only do this if they've been friends since childhood or are otherwise close buddies. But when a couple has moved ahead in their relationship, they will often switch to using first names as well. In media, the first time a character calls their romantic interest by their first name (whether out of affection or distress), the scene often ends up being an example of this trope.
Compare First Name Basis, First Name Ultimatum and You Squared, Skyward Scream. If you have a lot of people, all doing a "Say My Name" to each other, it's a Rocky Roll Call.
Contrast I Know Your True Name where speaking it has much more dangerous implications.
Examples of this trope are often subjected to Memetic Mutation.
There are actually entire compilations of all of Gokudera's "Jyuudaime"'s. It's very long.
Slayers: LINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! said Love Interest Gourry at least once in the novels, manga, anime, games...
Lina herself is prone to screaming out everyone else's names when they're in danger, namely in the second season of the anime.
Very common in shojo. Many fans got their first taste of the anime-style of this with Fushigi Yuugi ("Miaka!" "Tamahome!") until it became a meme associated with that show. Suboshi also does this quite a bit in the fist OVA series: "Yui-sama! Yui-sama!!"
The trope in shojo is probably as old as shojo itself. The 1970s series Candy Candy delights us with a scene where Candy and her best friend Annie are reconciled. A few minutes of "Candyyyy!" "Anniiie, oh Annie!" "Candyyyy!" "Annie!" "Oh Candy!" ping ponged with such strong feeling that (at least in the Finnish dub) you can close your eyes and see something else than little girls running towards each other on a meadow of fragrant blossoms and sparkling dewdrops...
In case of the Finnish dub it doesn't really help that the voice actors are clearly adult, and very recognisable as two of the maybe five female voices TV dubbing had at its disposal at the time. It's rather jarring to get love scene vibes with little girls on the screen, voiced by any combination of the following: The Moomins, The Smurfs, Tao Tao, Alfred J. Kwak, The Care Bears and Doctor Snuggles.
Ginji from Get Backers: "BAAAAN-CHAAAAN!!!" "KAZU-CHAAAAN!!!"
In the manga, Ginji greets Shido and Makubex respectively after his first time seeing them in ages: "Shido! Shido! Shido!" "Makubex! Makubex! Makubex!"... both multiplied by a few more times.
Ginji actually greets all of his friends (even Maguruma!) by going Super-Deformed, calling their name and waving a fan with the kanji for "happiness" on it. It's... cute.
There's a comical moment in the anime where he does to that to Akabane, only to realise WHO it is he's about to chibi glomp and then frantically trying to backpeddle... in mid air. Akabane just fox-grins and shakes his hand instead.
Ginji actually uses this trope to try to cover up how much Akabane scares him. He turns a scream of terror ("AAAAAAAH-kabane!") into a Say My Name. Although he does seem pretty broken up when it looks like Semimaru's killed Akabane, and yes, gets some mileage out of his name.
Kazuki's "JUUUBEEEI!" in the first Infinity Fortress Arc when Juubei looks on the verge of death after his battle with Kazuki. The manga artist took the liberty of devoting almost a full-length page to the speech bubble.
Emishi's "SHIDO-HAN!" speech bubble when it looks like Shido's been killed by Liu Mengyan's flunkies is almost that big.
In Simoun, the fact that Angulas didn't say Aaeru's name at one point was a plot point... as, of course, was the moment when she actually did. And in the final episode, Yun happens to say Dominura's name Meanwhile, in the Future while thinking of her.
Episode 13 of Tokyo Mew Mew: "Momomiya-san! Stop! Momomiya-san! ICHIGO!"
So memorable, in fact, that quoting it on pretty much any forum or Image Board will inevitably lead to a whole thread of people quoting other examples of this trope; if it isn't used first, it will pop up eventually.
Vision of Escaflowne "Van!" "Allen!" "Hitomi!" No, seriously: Greater than 50% of Merle's dialogue consists solely of "Van-sama!!"
Card Captor Sakura anime, elevator scene with Syaoran and Sakura. Syaoran yells, "SAKURAAAAAAAAAA" as she plunges into the depths of wherever. As it is CLAMP, everything must be dramatic when Syaoran says Sakura's name for the very first time.
Nagi of Hayate the Combat Butler calls out Hayate's name whenever she's in trouble, as does Nishisawa once or twice. He will always appear immediately out of nowhere to save the day once so summoned; on at least one occasion he even apparently waited out of sight until Nagi called out his name before saving her from a rampaging robot.
This happens excessively - if ANYONE calls out for help, especially if they use his name, he will show up to help them. To the point that it's a shocking surprise in the few cases when he DOESN'T show up.
InuYasha: INUYASHA! KAGOME! This show takes name-yelling to new heights. Mercilessly parodied in a commercial for the show, with moments taken from all across the series' run.
In Kikyou's debut sequence, her name was six or seven of Inuyasha's lines in a row.
To get specific, Inuyasha says Kagome's name 568 times in the whole series, while Kagome says Inyuasha's 971 times—the majority of both being screams. Out of 167 episodes.
"RANMA!!! AKANE!!!" moments are also very common in Ranma 1/2, Rumiko Takahashi's earlier work.
Played for laughs when the normally belligerent Ranma and Akane turn into Sickeningly Sweethearts because of love mushrooms. Instead of using their actual names, they call out to each other using terms of affection.
Ranma: BABYYYYY!
Taken to the extreme in the teaser trailer for the third Bleach movie revolving around the two, where the all Ichigo screams is RUKIA!!!!! In the most anguished and dramatic way possible. The movie is actually tagged as "Fade to Black; Call out Your Name".
Hell, even Yamamoto gets in on the 'calling names out loudly' trend in a less dramatic manner when he sees Ukitake and Kyoraku fall after consecutive attacks by Wonderweiss and Starrk.
And now; TSUKISHIMA!!!!.
Aren't we forgetting the most epic one??
Zangetsu: Retreat and you will age. Hesitate and you will die. SCREAM!! SAY MY NAME!!!
Digimon Adventure has an episode where Taichi and Yamato manage to knock each other off a cliff. Taichi manages to grab on to the cliff with one hand while Yamato grabs onto him with one hand. Say My Name ensues.
Digimon Adventure does this kind of thing a lot, several of the first evolutions to Champion level (at least) were proceeded by a round (or two) of Say My Name between the kids and their partner digimon.
Heroic Age is all about this. In any scene in which she appears, Princess Dhianeila will say "Age," (pronounced "Ay-ee-gee") the name of the Wild Child protagonist. Problem is, given the insane level of telepathy she has, i's entirely possible that she is contacting him directly, though no evidence of this is ever shown in the series.
In Neon Genesis Evangelion, Shinji does this in his dreams. Note that Shinji has a LOT of these moments, and it spells out a lot of how he relates to various people. Adults get (first name-san), Rei is always just Ayanami, Kaworu is "Kaworu-kun", Asuka is the only one he's on a first-name basis with (even calling for help).
Episode 16 had Rei, of all people, doing this. In the English dub, this is also the only time when he referred to Shinji via his first name in an almost whispering voice - Asuka took notice but didn't comment.
The English dub of Rebuild 1.0 had Shinji calling out Rei's first name no less than seven times when he thought that she got fried by Ramiel.
The Take My Hand scene at the end of Rebuild 2.0 resulted in "AYANAMI!!!" exactly three times.
Don't forget at the end of the fourth season "Helios!" "Chibi-usa!" "That's the first time... you said my name."
"SERENITY!" "ENDYMIOOOOOOOON!"
In Toushou Daimos, this is also featured in form of "KAZUYAAAAAAA!!!" "ERIKAAAAAA!!!!" Fans see this as a precursor of the one regarding about "Miaka!" "Tamahome!" as listed above.
Many times between Renton and Eureka in Eureka Seven, usually when one is fallling through the sky and the other is trying to catch them in a mecha.
Naruto: SASUKE! Gaara calls him "Uchiha Sasuke" so many times while the two of them are fighting (both whispered and shouted) that you could make a drinking game out of it, as at least one episode reviewer observed.
And from their fight after the Chunin exams: "NARUTOOOOOO!" "SASUKEEEEEE!"
'Sasuke-kun' was young Sakura's... catch-phrase? Half her dialogue? Anyway, she said it so constantly for so long that any of her voice actresses must have either been writhing or taking it as a personal challenge to find out how much variety they could get out of this one line over and over and over again.
The Guardian Ninjas filler arc also has Asuma and his enemy and former friend Kazuma yelling each other's names a lot, and Naruto often yells Sora's name. Later on, people yell Asuma's name quite often around the time that he dies.
Especially at the very end of episode 79, from Shikamaru: "...ASUMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
There's also Hinata's "Naruto-kun...", although it's rarely shouted.
lampshaded in an omake in Shippuden. Kakashi teases Hinata about her stammering "Naruto-kuns" in a recent episode being a big hit with the male viewers. That inspires Sakura to launch into a long litany of "Naruto-kuns" herself, as Kakashi and Hinata call out different moods for her to act out with each one.
Naruto also likes to shout "SAKURA-CHAN!" quite a lot.
Yufa from Ragnarok the Animation: "KEOUGH NII-SAN!!"
Judai from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX had always been incredibly fond of saying peoples' names, but when it came to Johan, he really pulled out all the stops.
Not to mention, poor Asuka's lines in all of seasons 3 and 4 were pretty much reduced to her just saying "Judai..." in moments when it looked like he was in a tough corner, and "Judai!" when it looked like he was in serious trouble.
The regular Yugi gets this a lot, too. As does the Other Yugi (or "Mou Hitori No Boku" - "other me".) And Jounouchi. And Anzu. And... well, a lot of people, really.
Blood+: "SAAAAAAAAAAYYYAAAAAAAAA!" Then, when the person speaking is Saya, it will inevitably become "DIVA!"
Shakugan no Shana: "SHANA!!!" "YUJI!!" <— Actually of Plot importance, because Shana actually got her name from Yuji, and Yuji is usually not refered to by his name by the Flame Haze, because they consider him an object rather than a person.
"He didn't even ask if I WANTED a name... Sha... na."
Played with in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: when Batou yells 'MOTOKOOOOOOOO!!!', only to later find out she's perfectly fine, and the other Section 9 members tease him about it.
But used straight in The Movie during the climax when the Puppet Master's body is blown to hell and Motoko appears to have died after merging with him. She gets better after finding a new body.
More about the immediate issue that her head had been blown clean off by the snipers, as well. Thankfully Batou's and the Puppetmaster's interference resulted in the severed head itself staying intact, so the braincase could be put into a new body.
Also used in the Stand Alone ComplexPS2 game, where the antagonist had a cybernetic body that had the exact same specs as the Major's own. Batou singled out the impostor by yelling "MOTOKOOOOOOOOOO!!!" and shooting the one that reacted.
The Major: "So, how did you know that that wasn't me?"
Batou: "I just knew... Besides, you'd never react just 'cause I called out your name."
And from another Miyazaki film, specifically Castle in the Sky: "SHEETAAAAAAAA!"
Used often in Princess Tutu, particularly in two climactic scenes in the second season. (Some fans were jarred when the dub's decision to translate the main character's name to keep Theme Naming meant that Fakir screams DUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!! in one such scene.)
The very first line in the anime of D.N.Angel is actually an example of this trope: DAAAAAAAAARK!!!
More plot significantly, the scene where Daisuke calls Riku by her name when he tells her he's in love with her, not her sister Risa. Up to that point he'd always called both of them "Harada-san", prompting her to angrily complain she can't tell which one of them he's referring to. Annoyingly subverted both in that he still uses "-san" to a girl he's going out with, and she still calls him "Niwa-kun".
At the absolute end of Vandread where, for the first time in the series, Hibiki calls to Dita by her name.
In One Piece, whenever a character gets injured in a battle that other crew members are watching or participating in, someone close to them typically yells their name. Examples include Sanji yelling his female cremwates' names, Nami yelling Robin's name and Robin yelling Chopper's name. Interestingly enough, When Usopp is disguised as Sogeking, in desperate situations, his crewmates yell out his real name, rather than his assumed one, even though they're playing along with his masquerade.
During Enies Lobby, "ROOOOOOOBIIIIIIIIIN!!!" was pretty much Luffy's catchphrase.
Nami is a bit infamous for this. Does no one remember "ARLONG! ARLONG! ARLONG!"?
Also quieter, but scary as hell: "Rip. Van. Winkle..."
Pokémon: "PIKAPI!" "PIKACHUUU!!" In the recent movies, Pikachu will be replaced with Dawn (though Pikachu can still be put in danger).
Pikachu is still the king of this trope in the movies. Dawn hardly ever yells anyone's name.
Ash seems to yell "Pikachu!" or "TEAM ROCKET!" at least once an episode.
This trope's dramatic effect is lost, but it is still used in the Orre games. In XD, it causes the called Pokemon to focus and heighten its accuracy. In both games, it also snapped a Pokemon out of any induced slumber. Most importantly, however, it's one of only three ways to snap a Shadow Pokemon out of Hyper and Reverse Modes, a state not even the Pokemon Center can cure.
In Zone of the Enders Dolores, I Dolores only used her Vector Trap"vanishing tricks" after James Links pleading using her name which he had never mentioned before to her, he just call her "ojou-chan".
Bakugan Battle Brawlers: When his Guardian Bakugan Wyvern is destroyed, the only thing Joe can do is helplessly scream her name over and over again.
The ending theme of Rose of Versailles ends with Andre's heartfelt cry of "Oscar... OSCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARR!!!!"
In Monster, we have Wolfe, who demands that Tenma says his name before he dies. (Having one's name stripped away is an ongoing theme, and that character is a particularly good example thereof.)
And we have Tenma and Nina crying and breathing each other's names every time they see each other. Pent up sexual tension much?
Saint Seiya: "ATHEEEEENAAAAAAA!" "SAORI-SAAAAAAAAN!" "MARIIIIIIIN!" "MAAAAASTEEEEEEER!" "SEEEEEEIYAAAAAAA!" "SHIIIIIRYUUUUUU!" "BROOOOTHEEEEER!"
Joshua Christopher in Chrono Crusade combines this with a Madness Mantra in the manga: "Sis. Sis. Sis." And then there's Aion shouting "PANDAEMONIUM!!!!" several times in rage in the manga, Chrono calling for "ROSETTE!" when she's in danger, and more examples that would make this line much longer than it needs to be.
in more detail anime only episode 6 - Black&# 9734;Star: "We can still be friends right?" Soul:"BAKAYAROOO OF COURSE!!!" Black&# 9734;Star: "SOOOORRRRUUUUU!" Soul:"BURAKKUSTAAAA!" Black&# 9734;Star: "SOOOORRRRUUUUU!" Soul:"BURAKKUSTAAAA!"
In the last few episodes of Victorian Romance Emma, all Emma does is to whisper the name of the person that is currently talking to her. The manga (not finished at the time) has a completely different ending, and she can still speak in full sentences there.
I'm surprised no one's mentioned this, but if you made a drinking game with non-alcoholic beer out of how often any character would say "Kaiji!" or "Kaiji-kun!!" in a scene, you'd die of alcohol poisoning by the end of the 3rd episode.
Through the course of Arashi no Yoru ni, Mei and Gabu speak/yell the other's name in times of peril and/or uncertainty.
Parodied by Ah-chan's friends in one episode of Aoi Hana.
And played straight when Yasuko calls Fumi's name during their date.
Kyou Kara Maou has lead Shibuya 'The Messiah' Yuuri at the center of everyone's attention, all the time, with one or two notable examples. So he gets his name called so constantly that heika! ('your majesty'—he's king, it's the premise) is the most common word in the script, since he gets it from Gunter constantly, Conrad regularly, and Gwendal in extreme circumstances, as well as from random subjects and people he's just met. Conrad also calls him Yuuri in intense situations on and off, depending on how he's feeling, and Wolfram's impassioned exclamations of his fiance's name are to be counted on anytime anything dangerous happens, like he thinks it'll somehow protect the wimp. Shori is also good for a 'Yuuri' or 'Yu-chan' pretty reliably, and Murata comes out with a good number of dramatic 'Shibuya's.
Yuuri himself, meanwhile, does plenty of name-calling. Especially Conrad, especially during the Arm Arc.
There are other instances of names being scrupulously avoided: Murata whenever he goes to talk to Shinou in the temple is a good example, as well as the way Murata and Shori choose to address each other: 'Friend of my little brother' and 'older brother of my friend,' and Wolfram's determined address of his brother Conrad as 'Weller-kyo.'
This last spectacularly shattered in the scene at the burnt church where Yuuri and Conrad are both missing, presumed dead, and then they find Conrad's severed arm... COOOOOOOONRAAAAAAAAAAADD! Tops most of his 'Yuuri's.
Kimagure Orange Road: Ushiko-san! Ushiko-san! — Umau-san! Umau-san! Unusual in that they are very minor characters; this was all they said.
Played straighter by Kyouske: "Hikaru-chan! Ayukawa!"
Et Cetera gives us the regular "MINGCHAO!!!", most of it being delivered by Baskerville.
The majority of Wataru's dialogue directed towards Misturu in the Brave Story anime is him screaming "ASHIKAWAAAAAA!". Repeatedly.
This is taken to ridiculous levels in an issue of Battle Angel Alita, where a character desperately needs to call out to another but due to complicated circumstances can't say her name. So what does she say? A "Where are you?" or "Can you hear me?" would have done nicely. But instead she says nothing. Seriously.
In Hana Kimi, a remembered sex scene features Nanba and Kanako yelling each others names, which apparently turns them on...?
While not extremely prominent in Ouran High School Host Club, the very last episode of the anime comes to mind... "HARUHIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!" "SENPAI!!" Not surprising, Tamaki is much more dramatic about it than Haruhi.
This trope is also parodied in episode 19 when the girls from Lobelia academy force Haruhi to be in their play, where she is cast as the helpless maiden opposite Benio as the male protagonist. Her only line is "Frederick-sama" which she says over and over in the same monotone voice.
And in episode 10: "MADOKA!" "Homura... You finally called me by my first name... I'm happy." * Mercy Kill *
In CLANNAD, Nagisa's name gets shouted out that way several times throughout the series. The reasons for that are different every time. There are some other people too who get their name shouted out dramatically.
Black Butler "Sebastian! Sebastian! Sebastian!" Mostly said by Ciel, but Mey-Rin also calls Sebastian's name sometimes.
Midorima of Kuroko No Basuke is a common offender, particularly in the first Seirin vs. Shuutoku match.
Aomine and Kise exchange this trope constantly during the match between their teams. Quickly reaches Narm levels, especially with Kise, who is executing this trope while calling Aomine "Aominecchi".
Earth X has an unusual example: Uatu the Watcher has spent thirteen issues referring to Machine Man, aka Aaron Stack, by his model number, X-51, to emphasize that he is a robot and should have no loyalty to humanity—indeed, no human emotion at all. In the final issue, after being cut off from his sensory feed and left helpless, Uatu calls after him pleadingly: "X-51? X-51, please. ...Aaron?"
Superman shouting Mongul's name after freeing himself of the Black Mercy in "For the Man Who Has Everything." The force of the shout knocks Robin clean off his feet, and lets Mongul know he's only got a fraction of a second before Superman plows into him.
Invoked in a recent Hulk story wherein the title character's alter ego Bruce Banner makes this comment to a screaming Doctor Doom right after helping to take him down.
That was something of an Ironic Echo, a few pages earlier Doom had been fighting a Hulk robot that was screaming "DOOOOOM" as it pummeled him. As Doom turned the tables on the robot, he said "Once more...with feeling...say my name!"
Invoked in Captain Marvel's origin story, when the ancient wizard commands Billy Batson to speak his name: SHAZAM!
In the Batman storyline Knightfall, Bane attempts to make Batman scream his name for mercy. Batman tells him "Go back to Hell" and Bane promptly breaks him. Years later, in the one-shot Batman: Bane, Batman finally does shout Bane's name. It's not for mercy, though, it's in frustration - the villain escaped capture.
In Ever After, when Henry returns to rescue Danielle (not that she needs much rescuing), he makes an apology for being a complete Jerkass. Danielle tells him to say it again, and he apologizes... but she says "No, the part where you say my name."
It can be quite the Crowning Moment of Heartwarming when you remember that the prince only knew Danielle by a pseudonym for the majority of the movie.
Watch Titanic with a notepad and write down how many times the names "Jack" and "Rose" are called out between the two characters. Even if you don't make a Drinking Game out of it, your vision will stillswim by the first hour of the movie.
Similarly, try keeping track of how often the hero's name is said in Beowulf, most notably in the sea monster fight ("BEEEEEEOOWUUUUUULLLLF!"). There are quite a few shout of "I am Beowulf!" in there (of varying volume and pacing), and Wiglaf even gets the odd "You are Beowulf!".
The 1996 movie Chain Reaction has the character played by Morgan Freeman's repeatedly saying the name of the character played by Keanu Reeves in casual conversation. It's not for dramatic effect, it's just bad writing.
Data too gets a couple of these in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Usually when he's assumed dead, like in the episodes The Most Toys (by Worf of all people).
Also in Tin Man (Picard). It's a pretty well done western example, (but then it was Patrick Stewart's line, so the odds of it being done badly were pretty slim.)
And again in the film Nemesis except that this time, he's not coming back.
Deanna yells Data's name (while he's down on the surface and she's on board the Enterprise in orbit -justified in that she's highly empathic) when she realizes he's about to get sucked into a timestream and killed.
Star Trek parodied itself in the new movie, where the name shouted (by Nero) is "SPOOOOOCK!" With the interesting twist that he was thwarted by his enemy's younger self.
In the 2005 "remix" of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Frances has lots of fun screaming Caligari's name during one chase scene. And Caligari has lots of fun with "CESARE! WAKE UP, CESARE!"
Also, Will and Elizabeth say each other's names a lot. Usually when one, or both, are in danger.
Parodied in one scene from the first movie-
Elizabeth: Will!
Will: Elizabeth!
Jack Sparrow: Monkey!
The Graduate. The glass-pounding scene in the church with the titular graduate screaming "ELAINE!" at the top of his voice (twenty times!) definitely counts.
Probably at least half of the dialogue of WALL•E and EVE consists of their own and each other's names. The third most common word, I believe, is "directive."
EVE is rarely pronounced correctly though. On account of WALL-E pronouncing the sounds individually (ee va) many people may think that EVE's name actually is EVA.
A variant in The Dark Knight, when Harvey Dent, after getting half his face burned off, demands that Jim Gordon tell him the nickname the cops had for him when he was an investigator in Internal Affairs. "'Two-Face'. 'Harvey Two-Face'."
And of course the scene just before that. RACHEL!!RACHEL!!!
Near the end of Help!! after Ringo Starr gets kidnapped by Kaili's Path of Inspiration, there is a lot of calling for Ringo.
Disney's Beauty and the Beast has a climactic scene towards the end where Belle calls out "Beast!" (The audio commentary notes that they'd forgotten to give him a name.)
Bastian can only cure the Empress and save Fantasia by giving her a new name, and shouting it aloud. Because there's a storm and Barrett Oliver shouts the name incoherently, it's impossible to tell what name Bastian picked. Possibly this was intentional, although in the original book, the new name of the Empress was explicitly stated and everybody in Fantasia learned it.
Even for a traumatized father, Marlin from Finding Nemo is using the word "NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMOOOOOOOO!" way too much.
In Slumdog Millionaire, Jamal sees that his love interest has met him at the train station like promised and happily yells out "Latika! Latika!" This soon changes to a horrified "LATIKAAA!" when he looks behind her and sees his brother racing after her to drag her back to the gang leader she was trying to escape from.
In the film version of Outlaw of Gor, protagonist Tarl Cabot's name is said fifty-five times in the first ten minutes alone (IMDB's count), mostly by Cabot's annoying, wormy friend.
Sometimes a Great Notion: "Joby! JOBY!"
The final battle of Transformers 2007. Optimus Prime arrives in the city and confronts Megatron (who had just killed Jazz). Keep in mind here that they haven't seen each other in over 10,000 years. Their first words to each other?
Optimus Prime: MEGATRON!
Megatron: PRIIIIIME!
Interestingly to note, Optimus seemed rather angry to see Megatron alive and well (well, the fact he was holding the corpse of one of his friends didn't help), whereas Megatron seemed almost happy to see the former.
The example most of the parody examples are directly ripped-off from: Wuthering Heights's "HEATHCLIFF!" "CATHERINE!" exchange.
This doesn't happen at all in the book.
The subpar Disney movie The Wild had "RYAN! RYAN! RYYYAAAAAAAAAN!" over, and over and over.
Indiana Jones gets "INDY!" or "JONES!" screamed at him all the time. There's also a notable moment when his father saves him from a Death by Materialism by finally addressing him by his preferred moniker "Indiana" (instead of "Junior").
Near the end of The Final, Dane has Bradleystrapped to a chair and tells him to say his name. Dane is shocked to learn that, despite Bradley bullying him for years, Bradley does not even know his name.
In the Back to the Future movies, Doc and Marty do plenty of this. Also, regardless of the decade, or even the century, a Tannen will address Marty with "Hey, McFly!"
Highlander 2 gives us a glorious mid-quickening "RAAMMIRRREEEEEZ!!!" after Connor kills General Katana's two henchmen. Then we learn that the quickening has the never-seen-before-or-after power to bring people back to life by screaming their names. As you might be able guess by the fact that someone is named "General Katana", this movie is not very good.
An effective twist appears in the film Inkheart. The camera shows us Resa yelling Meggie's name as Meggie is being shoved away by guards, but since she is mute there is no sound.
In Rush Hour 2 Lee and Carter have what they think is a bomb but can't decide what to do with it, then Hilarity Ensues
LEE!
CARTER!
LEE!
CARTER!
*takes a breath* LEE!
In the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles second movie, the Turtles are waiting for Shredder to show up at the site of their showdown.
Raphael: SHREDDER!
(Other turtles jump in surprise. Donatello grabs Raph'.)
Don: Thanks, Raph! I may never have the hiccups again!
In The Edge, Alec Baldwin's character says "Charles" (the name of Anthony Hopkins' character) dozens, maybe hundreds of times.
Ever After: Danielle, in a heartwarming scene where Prince Henry (in apologizing for being a Jerk Ass) spontaneously calls Danielle by her real name (instead of Nicole, her mother's name, which he has been using up this point). She begs him to repeat it — not the apology, but the part where he says her name.
There's also the bit where he tells her to call him Henry instead of "Your Highness" (which is how he demanded she refer to him as when he discovered she was actually a commoner).
In a beautiful bit of subversion, the 2009 short film Being Carl Williams sees actor Gyton Grantley confused for real life underworld killer Carl Williams (whom he played in the TV series Underbelly). His desperate efforts to convince his assailants that he's not the real Carl Williams are not helped when the man they want 'Carl' to kill spots Gyton Grantley for the first time, likewise confused him for Carl Williams, and immediately launches into this trope.
LITERATUUURE!
In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Ron repeatedly shouts Hermione's name as she is being tortured by Bellatrix Lestrange.
And later, Ginny screams Harry's name when she sees him apparently dead on Hagrid's arms.
In the movie version of Chronicles of Narnia , the third part, Edmund and Lucy are constantly calling each other's name whenever they're separated from each other or when they're talking to one another.
Jack Higgins' (writing as James Graham) The Wrath of God: Emmett Keogh was already kicking ass in a fight with a bandit. Then he took his eyes off his apparently beaten opponent for a moment, the villain got up with a knife ... and Emmett's mute girlfriend found her voice for the first time in five years, screaming his name in warning. That gave Keogh such a charge that the bandit threw away his knife before turning and running.
Xena: Warrior Princess: Xena and Gabrielle, to varying degrees. Most notably (and dramatically) in "Sacrifice" (which also included Hope) and "Friend in Need".
Gabrielle: HOPE!
Xena: GABRIELLE!
Gabrielle: XEEEEENA-A-A-A!
24 had this in the form of "JOSH!" "UNCLE JACK!" "JOOOSSSHH!" "UNCLE JAAAAACK!" close to the end of the sixth season. Just one factor out of many why 24 fans like to pretend season six was just a bad dream.
Doctor Who, new series: "Use my name!" "...Master." Repeated later: "Doctor." "Master." "I like it when you use my name."
And how many times did we hear "ROOOOOSSSEEE!" or "MARTHA!" or "DONNA!" or even "DOCTOR!"?
One interesting twist happened in "Partners in Crime". Donna and the Doctor see each other for the first time through windows on opposite sides of a room that they are both spying on. Cue completely silently mimed shouts of "DONNA!" and "DOCTOR!"
Lookout: This house is surrounded. I must ask that no one leave the room. I'm Chief Superintendent Lookout. Lady Velloper: Lookout! Lookout: What? Where? Oh, me - Lookout. Lookout of the Yard. Lady Velloper: Why, what would we see? Lookout: I'm sorry? Lady Velloper: What would we see if we look out of the yard?
Also, "The Semaphore Version of Wuthering Heights" is full of this, despite having no spoken lines.
Another sketch has a policeman coming on and arresting the cast for "always saying 'It's so-and-so of the Yard' every time the fuzz arrives."
Super Sentai example: Since Asuka of Abaranger gets blown up, then Not Quite Dead, then possessed by an Artifact of Doom, many name-yelling opportunities arise. There's also a lot of "Nakadai-senseeeeeeei!"
Mc Cloud: Chief Peter B. Clifford whenever New Mexico lawman Sam Mc Cloud gets on his nerves, which is all the time. Mc CLOUDDDD!!!
In the first episode of season four of Scrubs, when Turk and J.D. reunite after Turk's honeymoon, they spend a good few minutes of saying "TURK!", "J.D.!" as they run toward each other.
Chains of this have been occasionally used in the theater during scenes of it in the movie, ending with "Chief? McCloud!"
Sherlock Holmes: In the 1980s Granada production of "The Final Problem", Watson, knowing that Holmes has gone to meet Moriarty and probably his own death, repeatedly calls his friend's name over the roaring of Reichenbach Falls.
In a film adaptation of The Odyssey, Odysseus calls out to Poseidon several times after he decimates his crew in revenge for blinding the Cyclops.
Curious variation in The Tudors: Since nobody calls Henry by his name, for obvious reasons, the show has treated us to more than one somewhat narmful shot of people desperately shouting "Majesty!" as they are dragged off to the Tower of London or just snubbed by the king.
Boston Legal: Danny Crane lies somewhere between this trope and Verbal Tic. Sometimes he says his own name to punctuate something awesome he's just done. And sometimes after breaking wind.
In the Twilight Zone episode "Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room", the main character (Jackie) receives a phone call from George. We know it's George because Jackie says his name 16 times in the call that lasts less than a minute. When George shows up in the hotel room, Jackie calls George by his name 24 times. When George leaves, Jackie says his name another six times while he's all alone in the room, then when George shows up again, Jackie says his name another five times. This gives a grand total of 51 times that George's name is said in a 22-minute episode.
Former WCW and WWE wrestler Bill Goldberg caused fans to chant "GOOOOOOLD-BERG! GOOOOLD-BERG!" during his entrance; combined with his epic entrance music (and his streak), it helped sell him as a Badass.
In Over There episode 3, Hassan and his sister Sawa did this when they met each other.
Sherlock: "SHERLOCK!" It's muffled through a window, which lessens the impact, but the fact that there's a dramatic echo (as well as an appropriate choice in soundtrack) helps.
In the series 3 finale of The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, Lynley's beloved partner Barbara Havers is shot. All Lynley can manage is a frantic shout of "Havers!!!" and then a hoarse whisper of "Barbara? Barbara???"
The Brady Bunch episode in the Grand Canyon brought us the infamous “BOBBY! CINDY!”
It would be impossible to fit an example from a tabletop game into this trope. It would require the skills of a tactical geni- CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!
In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Juliet Capulet begins an entire monologue on the meaning and importance of names with the repetition of her crush's name: "O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?" So, this is Older Than Steam.
Elphaba: Nessa... Doctor Dillamond... Fiyero... FIYERO!!
Bill Sykes gets an entire musical number devoted to this trope in Oliver!. It is sometimes cut from performances, though.
In Memphis, at the start of Act Two when Huey gets his own TV show in the song "Crazy Little Huey", both Huey and some dancers from the show proceed to sing "Hueeey!" (Huey himself singing "the name is Hueeeey!") a few times before the final "crazy little Huey is on your TV!"
From Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire: "STELL-LAHHHHH!" (That's exactly as it appears in the script.)
Miss Saigon: KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM! Happens during the fall of Saigon scene and at the end. If the actor playing Chris is feeling particularly hammy, he may add a Big "NO!".
Mabel's first appearance in The Pirates of Penzance: 'Tis Mabel! Yes 'tis Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...(cadenza)....aaabel!
Die Walküre, first act has Siegmund at the top of his voice: "Wäääällseee! WÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄLLSEEEE!!!! Wo ist dein Schwert?" (Wälse, where is your sword?)
VIDEO GAAAMES!
Mardek 2
(Said with alternating facial expressions for added meaning!)
Inverted in Kill Switch: part of the game's Mind Screw flashback story is a mystery girl's insistent question that the main character say her name. The trope's name itself is pretty much Arc Words for the game.
Ninja Gaiden II (part of the original trilogy for the NES) had Ryu Hayabusa and his love interest Irene Lew doing this constantly.
Kingdom Hearts, especially the sequel, often has people refer to Sora, Donald, and Goofy non-collectively and in exactly that order.
In Kingdom Hearts II, TRON's new password is the heroes' names, which of course gets shouted dramatically by the heroes themselves.
Considering they're talking to an anthropomorphic duck and dog, plus a kid with an unbeatable hairdo and a giant key, they're probably just saying the names to assure themselves they're not insane.
What's particularly amusing is that if the names are being said in a sweet way, Goofy sounds like the most important person in the group because the emphasis ends up being on his name.
Don't forget that Kairi's favorite word seems to be "Sora" or "SORA!" or "Soo... raa..." She can even say it while disembodied!
See also Roxas' "Hayner! Pence! Olette!"
Also Sora's classic "Riku!". Can be heard a lot in The World That Never Was...
Birth by Sleep has everyone good who was lost throughout the series saying Sora's name; asking him to save them.
Used in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex The Game, when Batou comes across two Motokos fighting (not unlike Pazu's situation in 2nd Gig), he figures out who the impostor is by yelling out, "MOTOKOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" and shooting the one who responded because the Major does not react when someone yells her given name.
Within the Tales Series, it is common for the lead male character to scream another character's name during a dramatic scene — Stahn in Tales Of Destiny screams "LEON! LEON!"; Kyle in Tales Of Destiny 2 screams "REALAAAA!"; Cless in Tales Of Phantasia: The Animation screams "CHESTER!" and "DHAOOOOS!"; Asch (who is not the lead character, but a party member who nonetheless plays an immensely important role in the story) in Tales Of The Abyss screams "REPLICAAAA!" in reference to Luke; Senel in Tales Of Legendia screams "STELLAAAA!"; Yuri in Tales Of Vesperia screams "ESTEEELLLLLLLEEE!!"; and, most famously of all (to the point of being parodied within the series itself as well as within the Tales fandom) Veigue in Tales Of Rebirth screams "KUREAAAAAAA!" ("Claire!"), to the point of absurdity.
In Tales Of Symphonia: The Animation, Lloyd screams out "COLLETTOOOOOOO!" when she loses her soul.
This even happens in the sequel to Tales Of Symphonia; Emil screams "Marta... MARTA!" if you get the bad ending.
If only this was the only example. You could die of alcohol poisoning if you took a shot every time one of the characters responds to someone by saying their name with an ellipse behind it.
Metal Gear: Snake? Snake?! SNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEE!!!
Also done with Raiden in MGS2 whenever you die, by both Colonel Campbell and Solid Snake (who use "Raiden"), and Rose who uses his real name, "JAAACCCKKKK!"
Ocelot's "SNAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEE!!" before Naked Snake jumps off the waterfall in Metal Gear Solid 3. Especially funny in the Japanese version.
Near the end of the Sandral/Matale feud quest in Knights of the Old Republic: "There you are, Shen!" "Father!" "Mr. Matale!" "Rahasia!" "Father!" "Mr. Sandral!" "Nurik!" "Ahlan!"
Kristoph's insane, iconic "WRIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiGGGGGGgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHTTTTTT!!!" which is so long it takes multiple text boxes to fill.
Killzone 2: "Sev?! SEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVV!!!" Dick Richardson was surprised it actually didn't morph into "SNAAAAAAAAKEEEEEE!!"
Zero says "Iris" at least ten times in his infamous ending in Mega Man X 4.
In a turnaround, Mega Man Zero's Ciel cries Zero's name at least three times, and the last time was a hopeless bid for Zero to get out of Ragnarok even though it's already too late by that time.
So far in the series, the first thing X says upon seeing Zero destroyed or resurrected has been "Zero!"
One of the last lines in Day of Sigma is this one from Zero as he's regaining consciousness: "Sigma...X...X? X! X!"
Sigma, Vile, Dr. Cain, and pretty much all of the Mavericks get the chance to say X's name over the course of the game the OVA comes with.
Suffice it to say, the Mega Man franchise likes using this trope; characters will say each other's names for no reason at all!
Fire Emblem: "SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTHE!" and in Path of Radiance: "FATHER!!"
Likewise, Maxim of Harmony of Dissonance also yells "JUSTEEEEEEE!!!!!" when beaten.
And when you reach the final boss in Julius Mode in Dawn of Sorrow, you get one depending on which character is leading the strike: "ARIKADO!" "VERUNANDES!" "YURIUSU... BELMONDOOO!"
As well as the lead's heavy hearted 'Soma...'.
Thanks to Castlevania Judgment, we also have "LORD DRACULAAAAA!", "LORD DRACULAAAAA!" and "LORD GALAMOOOOOTH!"
Only because the classes answer to the name of their class, rather than any actual personal name.
Disgaea: As befits his role as a Large Ham, Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth gets a few of these. At the end of Chapter 11, when Thursday goes off-line, and then at the end of Chapter 12, when Jennifer is taken away.
In Luigis Mansion, pressing "A" with no other context action available will cause Luigi to call out in search of his brother. These can range from a tentative "Mario?" to a full blown Narm Charm"MAARR-EEEEOOOOOOOOOOO!!"
In Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Marche will call Montblanc's name if Montblanc dies in a Jagd, "Montblanc? Montblanc!"
Exclusively for its Audio Adaptation, Marche calls Montblanc's name while crying at the end of the series, along with the very ending where Montblanc calls Marche's name softly, along with an echo, after his One-Liner.
That's not just enough. Montblanc actually went exaggerated when Marche goes to Prison (along with Ritz) and before he faces Llednar Twem.
Ulala calls Pudding and Jaguar's names after they get pimp-slapped by Blank and proceeds to do absolutely nothing about it but continue the fight without them.
When Ulala gets pimp-slapped by Purge in Part 2, Noize does this as well.
Dawn of War had Lord Bale's infamous "SSSSSINDDRRIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Tales of Monkey Island: In Chapter 1, when a blunder with the Cutlass of Kaflu ends with the fuse being unintentionally lit in Elaine's ship: "Elaine!" "Guybrush?" (monkey does a Face Palm, gunpowder barrel explodes) "ELAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaine!!!"
And at the end of Chapter 4, when LeChuck runs Guybrush through: "Guybrush!" "Elaine?" "GUYBRUSH!!!" "LECHUCK! (laughs) Arr, this name-shouting is jolly good fun!"
Two examples in the trailer for Mass Effect 2 (only one of which showed up in the game): Joker yells "Shepard!" while the commander is sacrificing him/herself to launch Joker's escape pod, and Male!Shepard yells "Tali!" while she is about to fall off the strange hexagonal platform at the end of the Collector Base.
He does say that, but not then - if Tali is carried away by the swarms, he screams her name.
Dead Rising's sniper trio miniboss, depending on what order they're taken out in: "JAAAAACK!!""THOMAAAAS!""DAAAAAAD!!"
Summon Night Swordcraft Story 2 loved this a lot. Characters names are shouted right and left shamelessly.
Yo-Jin-Bo takes a jab at this one; after Hatsuhime's first meeting with the other main characters, Yo teases Jin: "'Haaaatsu-chaaaaaaan!' 'Jiiiiin-samaaaaaaaaa!'"
Meanwhile, Ittosai's Bad Ending plays it straight; it's titled "Call My Name" for a reason.
Silent Hill 2 seems to use name-calling as a replacement for actual dialogue in a few places. ...Actually, no. Most of the time.
One that springs to mind (although there are many examples of excessive name repetition) is during the scene when Pyramid Head impales Maria in Brookhaven Hospital:
Maria: Jaaaaames!
JAAAAAAAAAMES!
James: NOOOOOOO!
Maria: JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMES!!
James: MARIAAAAAA!
In Mystical Ninja starring Goemon, as Kyushu is floating away Goemon yells OMITSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
And in Mitsumete Knight, a Spiritual Successor of Tokimeki Memorial, you've got Johan Elites, who constantly does this each time the Asian (i.e. the Main Protagonist) foils his plans. "TOUYOUJIN-MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" ("YOU BASTARD ASIAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!")
A more subtle variation occurs with Belkar, (who addresses the elf wizard Vaarsuvius as "Elf" or "Ears" or, more often, with some insulting nickname), when he and Haley are left behind after the other half of the team sails away:
"OK, elf, enough with the jokes. You got me, fair enough, now bring the ship back.
...
No, seriously, wherever you're hiding: You really had me thinking for a moment that we got left behind. Great illusion. Now, can we just get out of this stupid city already?
Homestuck: Rose yells STRIIIIIIIDDDEEEEEEEEERRRRR!! at Dave as Her house is about to be meteor'd and she wants him to hurry the hell up. Also, he just threw her bed out of her house and put a lot of important devices in cumbersome, hard-to-reach places.
Fite! has a couple of these, but only if you learn to recognize the symbols representing the characters' names.
In Panthera, this is played for drama when Jason/Leo starts doubting everything he thought he knew about himself both in relation to the rest of the team and by himself as a result of his Mentor Mole revealing his true colors and getting killed and failing to come up with a plan in North Korea.
Leo: Cats don't need licenses, to hunt, fight, kill. But they never have to worry about why they do it, or the greater consequences, either. And we... Tigris, what's my name?
Tigris: I... don't follow.
Leo: My name. What's my name?
Tigris: Uh. "Leo?"
Leo: ...no. "Leo" is the lion mask I wear into battle. And yes, the mask is deeply a part of me. But my mind — my soul — is human. My name is Jason, and it's me who has to live with the things I do.
American Dad plays with this when Stan starts falling through row after row of dilapidated stairs while Steve takes an completely functional lift down at the same pace. At first, Steve is actually worried, shouting "Dad!!" a few times and loses a bit of enthusiasm each time until he starts saying the word in a monotone. Eventually he finds a newspaper and reads the comics while Stan continues to fall and crash through the wooden stairs.
Which is a Mythology Gag based on a slightly less extreme tendency of Megatron's G1 counterpart.
And Megatron finally using Optimus Prime's name in the "Endgame" finale means that he finally sees Optimus as an archenemy as opposed to just another Autobot nuisance.
Megatron: If I cannot save my clones, at least I'll have the pleasure of destroying you, Optimus Prime!
Optimus: So you can remember my name.
Megatron screaming Starscream's name is a recurring thing. In the IDW comics, it happens when Starscream is using Ultra-Energon to try and overthrow him. The juiced-up Starscream still gets EASILY pwned, and this Megatron will not be taking it lying down like certain other Megatrons. In Animated, we get two: First, Megs finds out it's Screamer who sabotaged him in premiere. Later, Starscream tries to rig a McGuffin to explode and destroy the Autobots and Megatron (and about half of Detroit would likely have gone with them.) Starscream fails, of course.
Screamer: [Flying away at high speed] Y-you must have me confused with some other harrier jet... [Next scene is Starscream slamming into the ground. Hard.]
Transformers Cybertron, Megs gets booby-trapped and he and the 'cons loyal to him are left behind in a force field in deep space. Starscream feels the need to leave a message to make sure Megs knows who screwed him, and all Megatron can do is yell his name in fury.
In Transformers Prime, when Megatron finds out Starscream tried to off him in the premiere, rather than going for the traditional STARSCREEEEEEAM! he simply says his name quietly. However, his wrath is the same.
In "More Than Meets the Eye: Part 3" of the original Transformers series, Megatron and the 'Cons are taking off in their space ship while the Autobots watch. Optimus reaches out his hand, and in one of Peter Cullen's greatest moments yells "MEEEGGGGAAATTTRRROOONNN!!!"
In Beast Wars, the Maximals and Predacons are working together to stop the Vok from blowing up the planet. As Optimus goes to take out the Planet Buster, he realizes that Megs has sabotaged his shuttle and he won't be able to escape the impending explosion. Megatron broadcasts a message to him to taunt him about this, and Optimus yells MEGAAAAATROOOOOOOOOOOOON! just before 'kaboom.' Do we really have to say Optimus gets better?
"Barrrrrrttttttttt!!!" Yelled by a lot of people; even Lisa says his name whenever Bart pisses her off or pranks her.
Marge yells "Homer!" quite often. She also says "Homie/Homey" whenever she kisses or has sex with him.
Aaagh! Sideshow Bob!
This was actually Lampshaded in one of his later appearances: as Bart had noticed Bob's incapability of ever succeeding in his schemes, he just greeted Bob normally, much to Bob's surprise.
The Spectacular Spider Man: "SPIDERMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!" Spider-Man gets this a lot more than other heroes, especially from mugs. Eventually, he even started countering it. "Well, it sure ain't Gomer Pyle!"
Considering how much trouble this family gets into, it's really no surprise they love this trope. DAAAAAAAD! JESSIEEE! HADJIIIII! BANDIT, COME BACK HERE!...
One Dexters Laboratory episode had all the dialogue spoken during the last minute or two consist of the words "Dexter" and "Mandark", except for one part where Mandark said Dee Dee's name instead.
The Lion King: "SAAAAAAAAAARRRRAAAABBBBBBIIIIIIIIIIIII!!"
Stan Freberg's record "John and Marsha" spoofed the radio soap opera by having the characters say nothing but each other's names. Also featured on his radio program.
Oddly enough, the alien brain Krang in the cartoon version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles liked watching a TV show that seemed to consist entirely of a man named John and a woman named Marsha staring at each other and saying their names over and over.
Mad Magazine: John didn't have his glasses on, and was saying it to the wrong girl at first. Also, he stepped off a cliff to kill himself; a trampoline saved him (repeatedly); the John-Marsha scene played; and when Marsha rejected him, that was the point when the trampoline people moved the trampoline...
There exists a piece of fanart of L and Light from Death Note having sex. Light says the trope, and it takes L a few repetitions to realize he's screaming "Kira".
Hilariously done in their first confrontation movie:
NC: NEEEEEERRRD!!!! NEEERRRRD!!!!
AVGN: CRITIC! How dare you come here!
NC: NEEEEEERRRD!!!!
In the NC Review for The Wizard, the critic at the end draws glasses on a picture of Jimmy Woods seeing a personification of the Critic.
NC: Oh my God! "NEEEEEERRRRD!!!!!"'''
Quite often, when another member of That Guy With The Glassescameos on a Nostalgia Critic video, the Critic will greet them by simply saying their name. Very noticeable in his The Room review.
The Spoony Experiment: PUUUUUUUUUUMPKINHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!]]
A variation of this in Real Life. During Muhammad Ali's fight with Sonny Liston, who would only refer to him as Cassius Clay (his old name), Ali repeatedly shouted, "What's my name? What's my name?"
