* ''WesternAnimation/DefendersOfTheEarth''

* ''Literature/IfYouGiveAMouseACookie'', then he'll ask for a glass of milk... And then one thing will lead to another, and you never know what's next! Let's go to unexpected places, they'll leave a smile on our faces. With Moose, Pig, Cat and Dog, so come on, come along."

* Primos: Tater lists off the names of her cousins near the theme song's end. Apparently, she can't stand it.

* The theme song of ''WesternAnimation/BumpInTheNight'' has main character Mr. Bumpy introduce himself in the first verse and the second verse introducing the supporting cast.

** Their previous primetime (later Saturday morning) anthology series (which had various different names over its 40-year run) had an intro during the 1984-1985 season that introduced a few of the characters this way along their trademark {{catchphrase}}s:

''[[CatchPhrase Eat my shorts! Don't have a cow!]]''

-->'''Claude Pertwee ([[OpeningNarration narrating]])''': Yes, I know! The girls are alright--Marge and Penny--but the fellas...they play football, you know! [[{{Catchphrase}} Savages]], that's what they are!"

* After introducing the premise of the show, ''Animation/BoBoiBoy'''s theme song lists off the heroes' names: Ying, Yaya, Gopal, "and our hero" [=BoBoiBoy=]. The third season adds Fang to the list. Adu Du's [[HostileShowTakeover version of the song]] also has a roll call but it accidentally includes the Multi-Monster who, as Adu Du points out, pulled a HeelFaceTurn.

->''DONALD! (Present!)''
->''DAISY! (Here!)''
->''GOOFY! (A-yuk, here!)''
->''PLUTO! (Woof woof!)''
->''MINNIE! (Oh-ho-ho, here!)''
->''MICKEY! (Right here!)''
-->-- ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseClubhouse'' theme song

->''PLUTO! (Ruff ruff!)''

Toby, well, let's say. he's square!

* The intro to "Teletubbies" introduces the four Teletubbies by name, only for them to repeat exactly what the singer sang.

-->-- '''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseClubhouse''' theme song

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* Happens in ''Webcomic/TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella'' [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/02/03/victorian-secret/ here]]. Not an intro, though.
* Andy Weir did once write a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flz-qkKEaOA cast song]] for his webcomic ''Webcomic/CaseyAndAndy'', which was then performed by the band ''Moosebutter''. Albeit only two minutes long, it mentions every character who had appeared in the comic so far, and even one who didn't yet at that point: [[spoiler:The Conquistador.]]

* ''WebAnimation/TheAmazingDigitalCircus'': In the pilot, the implied intro for the game starts with a roll call of the members of the circus at that moment. When newcomer Pomni suddenly appears mid-sequence, Jax breaks character and tells Caine that he doesn't want to redo the entire theme song to account for her.

-->'''Sparkle''': And Sparkle too!

* ''WebAnimation/TheAmazingDigitalCircus'': In the pilot (When Pomni just arrived) we can see a Roll Call of the members of the circus at that moment. Even Jax Breaks the Fourth Wall When Pomni arrives. Saying that if a new character arrives they have to redo the entire Theme song

* Similarly the 4Kids dubbed seasons of ''{{Anime/Pokemon}}'' had the Pokerap. While technically never a title theme, it was a number of tunes played following an episode listing down all the Pokemon of the current region. The original Japanese edit eventually started making it's own variations.

* This applies to ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'''s ThreeAmigos in the OpeningNarration in the first season only but not afterwards, as the opening never changed as more characters were added.
