History Main / ToTheBatNoun

* In the "[=SheZap=]" episode of ''Animation/SheZow'', Guy says "Maz...To the [=Shehicle=]!"

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' plays with this three times:

** In a later episode, he shouts, "To the Peter-copter!" and appears in a helicopter shaped like his head, which promptly crashes on Joe's lawn. Then he shouts, "To the Hinden-Peter!" and appears in a dirigible with his face on the front, which crashes in flames into his neighbor's house. Joe's outraged cry: "How can you afford these things???"

** In another episode, Peter says, "To the Peterdactyl!", after which he gets on a pterodactyl with his face on it, which dies in a powerline accident, and then he says, "Oh no! Now I have to take care of the babies!", which he does by vomiting into their mouths.
** In "Living on a Prayer", Peter has to take a sick baby to the hospital, to which he shouts, "To the Peterrang!" and gets into a boomerang, which has predictable results. ("Just for the record, I ''did'' pass by the hospital.")

* [[WesternAnimation/TheCatintheHatKnowsALotAboutThat "Quick! To the Thingamajigger!"]]
* [[WesternAnimation/DanVs "To the Carmobile!"]]
* [[WesternAnimation/DynomuttDogWonder "The Falcon Flash! Quick, Dog Wonder! To the Falcon's Lair!]]

--->'''Frankie Boyle''': To the Bat-Caravan!

* ''ImInTheBand'': Usually, though not always, "To the band van!"

** It had plenty of Megazords, too, but that's kinda cheating, since that name's always been around. However, two of them are called the Mega Voyager and the Mega Winger. In fairness, those were forced on them by ''Megaranger'' - we don't know what ThePowersThatBe would've named them if those names weren't seen written in plain view in English onscreen in cockpit shots.
* One episode of ''TheDrewCareyShow'' saw Drew trying to rent a spare room to get some extra money. A gay couple (half of which was played by Creator/AdamWest) inquires and Drew tells them they can check out the room for themselves. "To the bedroom!"

* The Red Baron in ''EmpireEarth'': To the skies!
* Some variation of "To the Freedom Flyer!" appeared in ''FreedomForce''.

* The TropeNamer was parodied in [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=76616 this]] ''EverydayHeroes'' episode.
* Combined with GratuitousGerman in [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/2614.html this]] IrregularWebcomic strip. "To die Fledermauszeppelin!"

* Lampshaded in ''PS238'', where one of the problems with the school is that the superpowered students respond to going on lunch breaks by declaring in unison: "To the cafeteria -- For Justice!".
* In ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'' review of Film/TheWizard "To the shit-mobile!". Followed by a shot of the shit-mobile in action, complete with music from ''Series/{{Batman}}''.

** Another time, during "Dial Z For Zombie", a ''Treehouse of Horror'' segment, when Springfield was in the midst of a ZombieApocalypse, Lisa suggests using the library to find out a way to stop them. Homer pulls a shotgun out of nowhere, gives a DramaticGunCock while pointing with it, and declares: "To the Book Depository!"
** And in the episode where Sideshow Bob tries to kill Selma, Homer actually says, "To the Simpsonmobile!"
*** To make even more like [[Series/{{Batman}} the trope namer]], next to the garage there was a sign next to their garage telling the distance between them and their intended destination.

* Parodied several times in ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' with Jimmy's semi-catchphrase "TO THE LAB!" Sheen eventually got in on the act by trying to insert "To the lab!" every time they would go anywhere, eventually settling for "To this place first, and ''then''... the lab!" After that, they occasionally shared the use of the phrase, though Sheen's uses were always more of the Lampshade variety.
** For further parody, the time that Sheen got in on the act, they ended up ''not'' going to the lab.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''; Elderly Batman parody Mermaid Man is fond of these, but, due to his advanced age, occasionally requires a moment to catch his breath before finishing the declaration. The drama is also undercut by his tendency to shuffle off slowly and lose track of his [[{{Thememobile}} Invisible Boatmobile]].

* Sonic has Eggman. Egg-man flies in the Egg-mobile to go to his base The Death-Egg. Also one of his strongest badniks is Egg-Robo. He's also named Robotnik for his habit of Roboticizing animals into Robots.

* In one episode of ''Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide'', during one scene, Ned says, "To the library!"

* In early ''Franchise/PowerRangers,'' every item is the Power [something] to an amusing degree, but it truly reaches Creator/AdamWest Series/{{Batman}} levels in ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace,'' with Mega everything. The Megaship has Mega Accelerators. It can combine with the Megashuttle. You travel between Megadecks via the Megalift. The show's ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' counterpart, ''[[DenjiSentaiMegaranger Denji Sentai]] '''[[DenjiSentaiMegaranger Mega]]'''[[DenjiSentaiMegaranger ranger]],'' didn't have that much Mega terminology, and neither does ''Series/PowerRangersMegaforce.''
