* Lampshaded and lampooned in ''Literature/TheBelgariad'': when 'Zakath holds a grand dinner and ball in Mal Zeth for his distinguished guests (Garion and company), the herald practically ruins his voice thundering the names and titles of the first few guests: the King and Queen of Riva, Duchess Polgara, Prince Kheldar, Margravine Liselle... Then he gets to Belgarath and is left speechless for lack of sufficient superlatives.
-->'''Belgarath''': Just say it. I'm fairly sure that they'll all recognize the name.
-->'''Herald''' ''(in a faltering tone)'': Your Majesty, my lords and ladies, I have the unexpected honor to present Belgarath the Sorcerer.

[[TheHero Rean however]] summons Valimar by first having his right arm raised forward to his shoulder level with his fist closed and the palm upwards, then dramatically raises his hand and opens it while calling out Valimar.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': [[ArchEnemy The Master]] is a very rare example of getting to play this role to himself by virtue of having [[TheNthDoctor multiple incarnations, who are more or less each their own person]]. In the revival series, he first returns as an old man called “Professor Yana” but quickly gets killed off. In his dying moments, the Yana Master muses that he wants to be “young and strong” like the Doctor, before overdramatically declaring “THE MASTERRRRRR! REEEEEEBOOOOOORN!” and transforming. Lo and behold, the Saxon Master is born as arguably [[LargeHam the largest ham]] [[UpToEleven in the entire franchise]]. Yana Master’s implied declaration that the Saxon Master was coming in with gusto turned out to be VERY accurate.
