* WesternAnimation/BigHero6:
** Fred calls out all of his attacks.
** Hiro does this when training Baymax, though the latter has only just received the combat software and can't actually attack on its own, so it makes sense.
---> '''Hiro:''' Hammer fist!
---> '''Hiro:''' Side kick!
---> '''Hiro:''' Knife hands!
---> '''Hiro:''' Back kick!
---> '''Hiro:''' Gummy bears!
---> ''*scene cuts to Hiro and Baymax at a vending machine*''

* In the episode of "Series/BrooklynNineNine" where Charles and Terry have a boxing match to decide whose kids will get movie tickets, Charles yells "Strawberry basket!" before punching Terry in the, uh, strawberry basket.

* Normally, a Money-in-the-Bank briefcase holder will cash in on a vulnerable champion, usually [[YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle after they were in an exhausting match]] or [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown were attacked brutally by someone they were feuding with]]. A few wrestlers, however, would announce their intention to cash in the briefcase and give the champion advance notice. Wrestling/RobVanDam was the first to do this, presumably to give Wrestling/JohnCena a reason to be at the event Van Dam wanted to win the title at. [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]] would say he was going to do this and said he would wait until Wrestling/WrestleMania to cash in, but changed his mind after becoming a victim of numerous beatdowns. Cena himself would announce his intention to cash in a week before he did, but this would cost him as he won the match but not the title due to disqualification victory. Wrestling/DamienSandow would be the most recent to do this, and he would also end up losing his cash in the match.

* John Cena's [[FiveMovesOfDoom sixth move of doom]], the ''Lightning Fist'' - a move he learned while shooting a movie in China with Jackie Chan - which, given his previous evidence of linguistic prowess, he calls out in Mandarin. Because it's John Cena; the guy who turned his own "five moves" into an AscendedMeme. And of course, he would.

Added DiffLines:

* In "9-ball", you don't have to invoke this trope, but the first ball that the cue ball strikes on any shot must be the lowest-numbered ball on the table. (However, there's no rule that says the lowest-numbered ball has to be the one that's pocketed.)
* As in 9-ball, the newer game of "10-ball" requires that the first ball struck by the cue ball be the lowest-numbered. However, it also requires that the shooter call the ball and pocket for all shots.[[note]]This includes combination shots and caroms. For example, let's say that the lowest-numbered ball on the table is the 5. There's no obvious shot on the 9 (9-ball) or 10 (10-ball), and the shooter doesn't call any ball in any pocket. The shooter legally hits the 5, and by a fluke the 9 or 10 is pocketed. In 9-ball, the game is over and the shooter wins. In 10-ball, the 10 is removed and placed back on the table at the foot spot, and the shooter's turn ends.[[/note]] The only exception is on the break; if the 10-ball is pocketed on the break, it's placed back on the table, with the shooter's turn continuing as long as no foul was committed.

* ''Fanfic/HoursVerse'': In a common fanon divergence from the source material, spell casting is often accompanied by the name of the spell. Fusion spells in particular are always called by name, such as Igor casting Grand Cross using the memories of the Masked Circle, or the Wild Cards casting [[spoiler: Ain Soph Aur]] at the climax of ''My Kingdom for My Heart''. Discussed by the cadets in ''The Other 25th Hours'', where they try to pick a name for their all-out-attack.

--> '''Souji:''' We should call our team attack something. Anna and Tatsuya call their fusion spells new names. We don't have fusion spells, but we have... whatever that was.\\
'''Kotone:''' A shakedown!\\
'''Makoto:''' Uh, no. [[VitriolicBestBuds No one asked you to name it.]]
