** ''UltimateXMen'', however, is not so successful. They do intro dump with ''every other sentence,'' to the point where is becomes crossed with DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment. It is ''[[[[{{DarthWiki/Ptitlew9bltta3dv6n}} So Bad It's Horrible]] just that bad.]]''

* [[MontyPython "Hello, Bruce!"]]

* ''{{Serenity}}'' has a particularly elegant one to reintroduce the cast aboard the ship.

** Any episode of the ''TransformersGeneration1'' cartoon introducing a new subgroup will have a scene where all of them gets a line or two and says their name (such as "Heavy Metal War" where Scrapper feels the need to call out all the Constructicons instead of just saying "We're all here.")
** ''TransformersAnimated'' has a scene in the first episode where most of the Decepticons are named and show off their personalities.
** ''TransformersRobotsInDisguise'' does this in "Battle Protocol!" while the Autobot Brothers are responding to Optimus Prime.
** The ''opening sequence'' to every episode of ''TransformersCybertron'' has Optimus Prime announce six Autobots' names.

* ''SuperSentai'' and ''PowerRangers'' have been doing this ''a lot'', at least since 2000 or so. One of the most egregious offenders is ''Gaoranger''/''Wild Force'', which has them [[OnceAnEpisode in almost every episode]]. ''[=SPD/Dekaranger=]'' is no better.
** Every team has a posing routine, though announcing yourself with it the same way every time seems to have debuted in ''PowerRangers In Space,'' at least on the ''Power Rangers'' side. It's ''supposed'' to be a MyNameIsInigoMontoya moment used for special occasions, but some seasons do go overboard. The team-up episodes always feature a shorter but especially dramatic version with both teams, each season's trying to top the last. [[http://youtube.com/watch?v=rFiYn22eRyg Like so.]]

* In episode 7 of ''TengenToppaGurrenLagan'' when Kamina and Simon meet their soon to be allies.

* BannerOfTheStars: The intro shows pictures of the various military commanders involved in the campaign, along with their name, rank, title, and fleet commanded.

* ''{{Transformers}}'' did this [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:Introdump_decepticons_marvelus01.jpg quite blatantly]] (and [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:Decepticonpretenders-behold.jpg quite often]]) in the Marvel comics.

"Hi, [[AliceAndBob Bob]], glad you could make it. Look, here come Ted and Sarah and Sean and Drew and [[DanBrowned Dan]] and Erin. You already know [[RonJeremy Ron and Jeremy]] and [[{{Jossed}} Joss]] and [[MarySue Mary and Sue]] and Peter and Ben and [[OneSteveLimit Steve]]. Come sit down next to Ken and Eric and Lee and Ollie and Dinah and [[{{Psych}} Shawn and Gus]], and then Jim and Frank and Maxwell and [[HannibalLecture Hannibal]] can call the meeting to order."

* The [=Gen2=] opener of ''{{Skins}}'' does this ''twice in the same episode''; first when everybody is allocated their classes in the gym hall, and then during the name-and-something-about-yourself bit in Sociology class.

* In ''TheSoundOfMusic'', Captain Von Trapp has trained his children to march around and {{Introdump}} themselves at the sound of a whistle: "Leisl! Friedrich! Louisa! Kurt! Brigitta! Marta! Gretl!"

* ''SluggyFreelance'' plays it straigh up in this comic where the main character is dumped in a magic school against his will. http://ads.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=050828

*''LastRes0rt'' doesn't do this immediately... until the titular Reality Show's Series Premiere, which [[http://www.lastres0rt.com/2007/08/there-will-not-be-a-pop-quiz-on-this/ introduces all the players in short order]]. Mostly justified in that, well, it's what Reality Shows DO, even if we already know a few of the players that were introduced earlier.
