%%* ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'': "Megan!"

The effect of this trope is amplified significantly if the character addressed is usually known by a [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname nickname]], [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep title]], or some other moniker that isn't their real name. Once their real first name hits the air in that administrative tone, everyone--in-universe and out--can immediately tell things just got ''serious''.

* The entire class on ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus'' in unison (after every instance of a {{Pun}}): "'''Car-los'''!" Parodied when his father appears in the Parents' Day episode: "Mr. Ramon!"

** Buster Brown: A skit from the first season sees an angry mother (Judy Graubart) scold her mischievous, often fibbing son, Buster (Skip Hinnant), for making a huge mess in the bathroom. Every time Buster tries to explain an alibi – with various shouts out to WesternAnimation/MightyMouse – mommy says, "Buster, I want to know who did this right now!" Finally, the parrot is the one who saves Buster's hide, as "It was the plumber (squawk); he came to fix the sink" (a shout out to the popular animated short) that was the guilty party, vindicating Buster (who gives mommy a "'Told you so" look).

* "[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 CROOOOOOOOOW!]]" (That's one O!)

* [[Series/TheNanny "Miss FINE!"]] So habitual that it was still used as-is after Fran got married. Also once lampshaded with a ShoutOut to ''Series/ILoveLucy'': "Miss FINE! You got some 'splaining to do!"

* As Bert is carried off by "The Boogie Woogie Sheep," he helplessly cries [[Series/SesameStreet EEERRRNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!]]

* Of course, Jon Arbuckle's anguished cry of "[[ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} Gaaaaaarrrrrrffiieelldd!]]"

* Referenced on ''Radio/TheNowShow'': in one episode, Robin Ince says that John Howard (former Prime Minister of Australia) should be in a generic children's sitcom (he suggests the name ''Don't Ask Stanley!'') playing the grumpy old man who lives next door; he decides an episode would end with Howard's house burning down and him staring over the fence (hat slightly aflame) yelling "''StaaaaanLEEEEEEY!!!''".

* In ''WebAnimation/TheMostPopularGirlsInSchool'', this often happens:
-->'''Mackenzie''': BRITTNAY!

* Candace: ''[[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb PHIN-E-AS!]]'' Interestingly, she rarely mentions Ferb, perhaps because she [[TheQuietOne knows he won't answer]]. It's also probably because Ferb is her stepbrother, and Candace has had Phineas as her brother her whole life. Knowing how much the brothers get on her nerves, she's probably been saying "PHIN-E-AS" even before Ferb came along.
* ''[[WesternAnimation/PondLife NOBBYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!]]''

* ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984'': If the babies aren't shouting "GONZO!", they're shouting "FOZZIE!"

** Used more traditionally thanks to MemeticMutation; MST FanFic has a habit of turning one member of the riffing crew into a pervert, whose lewd comments often elicit a FirstNameUltimatum from the group's StraightMan.

%%* ''WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM'' - for the good guys, it was "ANTOINE!" For Robotnik, it was "Snive-LAAAAAYYYY!!"

%%* ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' has one of the classic examples of this trope: "WILLLLLL-MAAAAAA!"

[[/folder]]

* This one is likely to be incomprehensible to non-Swedes, but it has to be said: '''"EEEEMIIIIIIIL! FÖR'''''GRÖM'''''MADE ONGE!!"''' (Just in case: Creator/AstridLindgren, ''Emil of Lönneberga'', TheMovie (well, one of them). It's always Emil's father who yells this ('Wretched child!').)

* [Film/MidnightMadness: LEON!

*** It was used this way in a couple of episodes, memorably ''Film/RidingWithDeath'' when Crow took the "trucks as metaphor for sex" gag a little too far. What most forget is, Mike follows up with a joke that makes Crow remark "And you say '''I'm''' bad..."

* In the Mexican sitcom ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'', Quico knows he's in trouble if his mother Doña [[TheDanza Florinda]] calls him by his real name (¡Federico!).

* In sitcom ''Sorry!", where Ronnie Corbett plays a middle-aged man still living at home with his [[MyBelovedSmother mother]], he knows he is in the doghouse when the sharp and disapproving '''Timothy!''' is heard.

* [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid And who could forget]]

** Also parodied on ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' after Dr. Kelso's new RV is destroyed in the course of the road trip to Tacoma. Ted, who had been taking the RV for a car wash when it was commandeered, runs away just before Kelso notices, prompting him to bellow "THEO-DOOORE!" (Theodore was the name of another Chipmunk.)
** In ''WesternAnimation/AlvinAndTheChipmunksMeetTheWolfman'', when Dave answers the phone, Miss Miller (The Chipettes' guardian) yells "DAAA-VID!" into his ear in the same manner he yells at Alvin.

A type of verbal RunningGag that's not quite a CatchPhrase and not quite a {{Stock Phrase|s}}. A PluckyComicRelief character of the more annoying CharactersAsDevice variety (i.e., a {{Trickster|s}}, DevilInPlainSight, or TagalongKid) is ''so'' annoying that one or more other characters can only express their exasperation by saying his/her name. They use the ''exact same'' tone and inflection every time, maybe even accompanied by the same music/sound effect. The tone is so individual and memorable that some cases, if old enough, can even be parodied in future shows.

* In the "Crippled Camp" episode of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': MIMSY!

* Happens in ''Theater/{{Ragtime}}'' during the "What A Game" number, when Edgar starts repeating the unsavory language of his fellow baseball spectators, increasing his father's frustration until, in the final line of the song:
