History TitleDrop / WesternAnimation

* In an amusing aversion, in the finale of the third season of ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'', the cast makes a gamble to have the User "reboot" the computer and thus restore Mainframe. When the screen goes blank, however, the User types in "[=ReStart=]". In a convention panel the creators lamented that they didn't think to title drop at that oh-so opportune moment.
** On a more general note, the title is regularly dropped as the [[ByThePowerOfGreyskull command word]] for characters changing format to interact inside of a Game.

** "Goo Goo Gas" has Plankton declares this:

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''

** In ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'', the gang eventually finds out that the kids who vanished from Crystal Cove long ago were a mystery-solving crew much like them, who called themselves "Mystery Incorporated." Fred likes the name and the group adopts it. When the Scooby show was first developed in 1969, this was their unofficial - and unused - team name.The gang eventually finds out that the kids who vanished from Crystal Cove long ago were a mystery-solving crew much like them, who called themselves "Mystery Incorporated."

* In the first episode of the Secret Wars arc from ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'', the episode ends with Franchise/SpiderMan declaring his intentions to keep a record of the events he witnesses, so that the battle will not become "a [[ComicBook/SecretWars secret war]]."

*** It's fairly common for characters, typically but not exclusively when talking to younger people, to refer to their audience as "my little ponies". Princess Celestia and the schoolteacher Cheerilee do this the most often, but several other character use it more occasionally. It becomes rarer for it to occur in later seasons, however.

%%*** [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E16ReadItAndWeep "Read it and Weep"]]: The nurse pony also uses it.

-->'''[=SpongeBob=]''': SPY BUDDIES!

* In the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider-Man}}'', Nick Fury says he can train Peter to become "the ''ultimate'' Spider-Man".

* A rarity for the ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' series, "Spy Buddies" has a lot of these.

** "Squid's Day Off", "Big Pink Loser", "All That Glitters" and "Hooky" each had one, as well.

** "Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together"

* PlayedWith in ''WesternAnimation/Invincible2021'' in a interesting way; the first time in each episode Mark's superhero name is said, it cuts to the TitleScreen.

** "Squid's Day Off", "Big Pink Loser" and "All That Glitters" each had one, as well.

** "Squid's Day Off" and "Big Pink Loser" each had one, as well.

* "Hi, there! I'm ''WesternAnimation/{{Jabberjaw}}''! [[Film/TheThreeStooges WOO WOO]] [[{{Expy}} WOO]]!"
* The ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' episode [[CloningBlues "Too Many Jimmys"]] has [[YesMan Samy]] mention the eponymous problem.
* With the name of the show also being the name of the title-character, title drops are common in ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', but in the first movie, ''A Sitch in Time'', they also manage to drop the title of the opening lyrics of the theme-song into casual dialogue.
* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Motorcity}}'' episode "A Better Tomorrow" had Kane end his commercial with "Promising a better tomorrow by building your future today!" Somewhat of a bitter/ironic line considering [[spoiler:the state of Motorcity at that point]].
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E2ElementsOfHarmony Elements of Harmony]]", [[spoiler:TheReveal of the sixth element shows that friendship is indeed Magic]].
** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E12CallOfTheCutie Call of the Cutie]]", Cheerilee refers to her students as "my little ponies."
** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E13FallWeatherFriends Fall Weather Friends]]" during the Running of the Leaves.
---> '''Pinkie:''' You know, Spike, despite the name, the leaves don't do any of the actual running. That's left to my little ponies.
** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E17StareMaster Stare Master]]", the Cutie Mark Crusaders drop the episode title.
--->'''Scootaloo:''' You're like the queen of Stares!\\
'''Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle:''' You're the "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E17StareMaster Stare Master]]"!
** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E18TheShowStoppers The Show Stoppers]]", Twilight addresses the Cutie Mark Crusaders twice as "my little ponies."
** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E22ABirdInTheHoof A Bird in the Hoof]]", Princess Celestia refers to Fluttershy as "my little pony."
** Title drops occur frequently during "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E26TheBestNightEver The Best Night Ever]]".
** Cheerilee, Celestia, and Discord all refer to her class (in the case of the former) and the Mane Six (the latter two) as "my little ponies" in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E1TheReturnOfHarmonyPart1 "The Return of Harmony"]].
** [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E7MayTheBestPetWin "May The Best Pet Win!"]] has it as the last line of Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash's duet.
** The Mayor drops the title when naming the town's new hero in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E8TheMysteriousMareDoWell "The Mysterious Mare Do Well"]].
** The nurse pony also uses it in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E16ReadItAndWeep "Read it and Weep"]]
** After [[spoiler:being reformed by Fluttershy, Discord actually says "Friendship is Magic" when prompted by Fluttershy]].
** A rather harsh one in ''Rarity Takes Manehatten''.
--->'''Rarity:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh, why look! There's our friend Rarity going down in]] '''''[[LargeHam flames]]'''''! ''[[SarcasmMode Isn't friendship]]'' '''''[[LargeHam MAGIC?!]]'''''
** The spell Spike finds for Rarity is called "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E23InspirationManifestation Inspiration Manifestation]]".
** By Discord once again in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E26TwilightsKingdomPart2 Twilight's Kingdom Part 2]]": He notes that Fluttershy actually taught him that friendship is magic.
** There's another very subtle and clever one in the characters' names - specifically, in the names of Pinkie Pie and her sisters. Their names are Marble, Limestone and Pinkamena, the initials of which spell out MLP.
** In part two of the final season opener "The Beginning of the End", the Mane Six shout "Friendship ''is'' magic!" as they [[spoiler: unleash the magic within them without the Elements of Harmony to destroy King Sombra.]]
* ''Then softly it falls by a house near a stream/And WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall...to thee.''
** "Into the Unknown" is the first spoken line of the episode of the same name, [[spoiler: delivered by Wirt as he ventures out to confess his feelings to his crush.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', "Summer Belongs to You!" In addition to the song of the same name near the end, we get a title drop near the middle, when Phineas is trying to give Candace a pep talk:
-->'''Phineas:''' The gist of it was that you have to believe in yourself.\\

** Individual episodes that drop their own titles include "Gamma World," "459," "Hail, HYDRA!", "The Deadliest Man Alive," and "Avengers Assemble!"

* "Let the fight take place here, on this strange, primitive world. And let it be called... the ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars''!" The conflict is then referred to as such occasionally throughout the series, Megatron claiming that he's won the WesternAnimation/BeastWars as he reaches the climax of an EvilPlan, for example. Doesn't apply for viewers watching it on Canada's YTV where, due to discomfort with the word "War" in its title, it was called "Beasties".

-->'''DM''': Well, I suppose it's cheerful enough. Like some sort of ... pink dawn.\\

* The ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' episode "Flirting With Disaster" had Tucker and Sam finish a sentence that involves the title; ''"Long night... of flirting with disaster?"'' Obviously it refers to Danny's dangerous DatingCatwoman relationship with [[HunterOfMonsters Valerie]].

** The episode ends with Xandir [[TemptingFate saying it]] and [[GoryDiscretionShot horrible sounds playing over the sudden fade to black.]]

--->'''Peter:''' It has been... a Red Dawn.

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/GIJoe'' had an awesome title drop. In the episode "Money To Burn", Cobra... burns United States money, but as usual, GI Joe beats them.

* Some of the episode of ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' such as "Thanks to Minnie" and "Pluto Saved the Day".
* Battle tanks are for hardened soldiers, and you're trained only as an [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim invader, Zim!]]

* ''Then softly it falls by a house near a stream / And [[WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall over the garden wall]]...to thee.''

'''Homer:''' "Left below" ... where have I heard that before?\\

** Parodied again in "Homer Loves Flanders", when Moe's reading to sick children: the books apparently end "And truly she was ... my friend Flicka" and "They were no longer little girls, they were now ... little women". (Actually ''Literature/LittleWomen'' has several title drops, but that's not one of them.)

* A somewhat chilling example occurs at the end of the ''WesternAnimation/TronUprising'' episode "Welcome Home". Keller has [[spoiler: returned to the Occupation... [[ShootTheShaggyDog only for Tessler to kill her using his]] [[PowerGlows glowing]] [[TouchOfDeath hand o' doom]]]]. Tessler then mutters "Welcome home".

** "Powerless in the Face of Death" opens with Jonas Venture Jr. announcing "But we're [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers the Venture brothers!]]"

* ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'':%%, "In the Flesh".
** Also shouted whenever a Woo-Fu item is contested. "Xiaolin Showdown!"

* The first ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' movie's title, "Is It Fall Yet?", is [[TroubledChild Link]]'s first line, given when Daria asks him if he has anything to say when they arrive at the Okay to Cry Corral.

** Batman also makes a TitleDrop as the final line of the first season finale.

** Before that, the first season finale ended with a standard [[AC: TitleDrop]] narrative voiceover.

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/GIJoe'' had an awesome [[AC: TitleDrop]]. In the episode "Money To Burn", Cobra... burns United States money, but as usual, GI Joe beats them.

* ''WesternAnimation/HereComesTheGrump'', in addition to its TitleThemeTune, tends to have a TitleDrop in the dialogue OnceAnEpisode, along the lines of "Look out, Terry! Here comes the Grump!"

* ''War Planets'' (a.k.a. ''WesternAnimation/ShadowRaiders'') gets a [[AC: TitleDrop]] during a RousingSpeech in the first season, before the attack on planet Remora: "We've stopped being planets ''at'' war and become planets ''of'' war!"
