Like the First Name Ultimatum and Full-Name Ultimatum, it is used when a character is angry at another character, but is either not on a First-Name Basis with them or simply never uses their first name.
If the characters are on First-Name Basis, this means the one being shouted at is in big trouble, but sometimes it's just Played for Laughs.
