Go To


  • Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures: Being the king or queen of the Fae kingdom requires talking in the third person.
  • Darken: Gort, Lord of Hellfire, usually when he's being particularly egotistical. Also Zathras, who refers to himself only in third person.
  • Denma the Quanx: Hoon.
  • Digger: Ed refers to himself in this way, due to having had no company for many years, and having his name "eaten" as punishment for a crime. Before Digger gave him his new name, he referred to himself "it".
  • El Goonish Shive: T.C. refers to himself as "The Playah" or Da Playah" in the third person in non-canon panels or strips.
  • Girl Genius:
  • Imp: The golemn refers to themself in third person, and when talking to people they use "he/she/they" instead of "you".
  • Karin-dou 4koma: Shizuki speaks this way in both child and adult mode despite being over 300 years old.
  • Magellan has the Man Who Can, who is very particular about his name.
  • Metompsychosis Union: Killit always references themselves as Killit while talking, rather than using I or me.
  • morphE: Hizrim refers to The Hizrim as Hizrim in every sentence Hizrim speaks. Hizrim enjoys speaking Hizrim's name.
  • The Order of the Stick:
    • Thog talks like this. In fact, most orcs do. This is eventually lampshaded when one orc abandons a chase to attend grammar class, hoping to learn personal pronouns.
    • Oona also does this as well. However, she lacks the lowercase bolded text that Dumb Muscle characters in the comic tend to have. While she speaks oddly, it is clear that aside from speaking in the third person and in a You No Take Candle speech style, she is quite smarter than she seems.
  • Outsider: The Emissary, an Artificial Intelligence sent by an alien race to interact with others, doesn't use personal pronouns, and instead refers to itself as "this emissary".
  • Rasputin Catamite: Irina in the reboot and Sasha in the original versions speak in third-person for completely different reasons. Irina does so because she's cute and insane. Sasha does so out of sarcasm and to fake being a submissive out of laziness and to indulge in his masochistic tendencies.
  • ReBoot: Code of Honor: Downplayed. The Guildmaster goes back-and-forth from referring to himself as "Guildmaster" and "I" or "Me".
  • Schlock Mercenary: In LOTA's own words, "LOTA is too large for your puny pronouns", and those pronouns include "I". LOTA does sometimes allow for a "we" or "us" when included in a group of people, but otherwise always speaks in third person due to this quirk.
  • Sire: Leif speaks in third person. Leif is descended from Phantom of the Opera. Leif would prefer to just read.
  • The Three Bare Bears: Ice Bear, as with the series, though unlike the series, he doesn’t always refer to himself like this, only sometimes.
  • Twistwood Tales: Strawberry Soo the Scarecrow Girl always refers to herself like this.
  • White Dark Life: Devin has a poor grasp of speech, and thus literally has no idea what "I" means.
  • Wonderlab: Catt always speaks in the third person. Episode 22 reveals that their odd speaking patterns are a coping mechanism to distance and protect themself from the horrors that occur in the facility. Before taking on this worldview, Catt referred to themself in the first person.
  • The Wotch: "Lord Sykos is announcing his arrival." The full letter can be seen in this comic, and yes, he refers to himself in third person again before finishing it by signing his name.
  • Yumi's Cells: The "third-person strat" is a cutesy flirtation tactic. Ruby is the primary user of this tactic, but it tends to annoy people around her early in the series. She eventually catches the attention of a guy who is very aware of this "dark magic" but falls for her in spite of it.
