Go To

1'''Basic Trope''': A character usually has a title hammily appended to their name when it's spoken.
2* '''Straight''': Bob always gives his name as "Bob! Lord of Tropeville!".
3* '''Exaggerated''': Everyone, no matter how quiet they are, always calls Bob "BOB! LORD AND MASTER OF TROPEVILLE, WISE MASTER OF ALL STREETS AND [[PetTheDog CUDDLER OF PUPPIES]]!".
4* '''Downplayed''': Bob quietly introduces himself to Alice, Claire and Dan with his title (since it's technically part of his full name) and occasionally uses it as part of a BadassBoast.
5* '''Justified''': Bob is nobility and a bit full of himself .
6* '''Inverted''': "[[TheyCallMeMrTibbs The Lord of Tropeville was my father]]. Just call me [[ModestRoyalty Bob.]]."
7* '''Subverted''': Bob is revealed to be an impostor, and promptly shooed off by Lady Alice.
8* '''Double Subverted''': ...pardon us, that's; [[AC:ALICE! RESPECTED LADY OF TROPERVILLE AND HUMBLE SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE!]].
9* '''Parodied''': Bob's title is an OverlyLongGag every time it's mentioned and he even uses it when he's wearing a PaperThinDisguise.
10* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob doesn't always use his title or complain when someone else doesn't.
11* '''Averted''': Bob doesn't use a title. "Lord of Tropeville" is given purely as a description.
12* '''Enforced''': Bob's played by a LargeHam who insists on [[HamAndCheese having some fun with the role]].
13* '''Lampshaded''': "I wonder if Bob's parents called him that."
14* '''Invoked''': Bob's etiquette teacher told him to do this so people respect his title.
15* '''Exploited''': Bob hams it up so various dignitaries will be too embarrassed to speak to him at formal events unless it's something important.
16* '''Defied''': Alice begins introducing Bob with his title, and Bob insists she skip the boring formalities and let them get down to business.
17* '''Discussed''': "Good morning, Bob. We came to a-" "That's [[AC:BOB! LORD OF TROPEVILLE!]], peasant! ...now what can I do for you, my loyal subjects?"
18* '''Conversed''': "Oh, [[IncomingHam here comes the Lord of the town]]. I bet he'll insist on using his title all the time!"
19* '''Deconstructed''': Bob's insistence on using his title all the time wears on everyone and costs him the respect he should be due from it.
20* '''Reconstructed''': Bob [[LetsGetDangerous ends up having to]] demonstrate that he's very worthy of it and people decide he's earned the right to have his fun.
21* '''Played For Laughs''': Bob's always shouting his title at inappropriate times.
22* '''Played For Drama''': Bob is a NobleFugitive, but he's been conditioned from birth to give his title and risks giving himself away with a slip of the tongue.
23* '''Implied''': Bob never speaks in English, but screams a lot. The TranslatorBuddy says, "Bob's introducing himself...still introducing himself..."
