Lucky Day: I'm Lucky Day.
Ned Nederlander: I'm Ned Nederlander.
Dusty Bottoms: I'm Dusty Bottoms, and together we're...
All: The Three Amigos!
Ned Nederlander: I'm Ned Nederlander.
Dusty Bottoms: I'm Dusty Bottoms, and together we're...
All: The Three Amigos!
When a band with two members, when introducing themselves, say something to the effect of "I'm First Last, this is Second Last and together we are Puntastic Band Name." This is not just restricted to music, though- many superhero teams have been known to use this trope as well.
Compare Establishing Team Shot (a newly assembled team appears in a big flashy pose that includes them all). Might be placed at the end of a Theme Tune Roll Call (the theme song mentions the names of the work's main characters). Contrast Collective Identity (several people share the same public identity).
Not to be confused with Fusion Dance, which is when multiple members literally combine together.
Examples:
Anime & Manga
- Bleach: Parodied with the initial appearance of Nel, Pesche, and Dondochakka. Together they are something... they just hadn't decided on what in time to get their introduction right.
- Dragon Ball Z: After introducing themselves, the Ginyu Force would proclaim "Together we are...The Ginyu Force!" before striking poses.
- Futari wa Pretty Cure: "Futari" means "We", so "Futari wa Pretty Cure" can roughly mean "Together we are Pretty Cure", which was even a lyric of the English opening. This also extends to the follow-up, Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash★Star.
Comic Books
- Universal War One: Kalish presents the 4 Fantastics noting that they are four and have doctorate degrees.
Kalish: We were 4, each one having 4 doctorate degrees. Together, we were nicknamed the 4 Fantastics!
Fan Works
- Dragon Ball Z Abridged: Subverted in "K2". The Ginyu Force begins to say this, only to get Killed Mid-Sentence.
- Super Sentai Alternate: Exploited. It serves as a plot point, as the narration implies the Rangers' roll call actually unites a single Sentai team's powers and amplifies them for battle.
Films — Animation
- The Road to El Dorado: Miguel and Tulio introduce themselves this way twice, saying their individual names first and then ending in something that groups both of them.
- The first time it ends with them acknowledging they have no title to their names, so they are simply Miguel and Tulion.
- The second time, riding high on their con, they present themselves to the natives as Tulio and Miguel, mighty and powerful gods.
Tulio: Miguel and Tulio!
Miguel: Tulio and Miguel!
both: Mighty and powerful Gods!
Films — Live-Action
- Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure: As a way how pretty much all of their attention goes to their amateur rock band, the Wyld Stallyns, Bill and Ted introduce themselves first by stating their full names and then as a band.
Bill: I'm Bill S. Preston, Esquire!
Ted: And I'm Ted Theodore Logan!
Both: And we are Wyld Stallyns! - ¡Three Amigos!: The titular Power Trio goes by their nicknames even when introducing themselves. They finish by refering to themselves as a group as the Three Amigos.
Lucky Day: I'm Lucky Day.
Ned Nederlander: I'm Ned Nederlander.
Dusty Bottoms: I'm Dusty Bottoms, and together we're...
All: The Three Amigos!
Literature
- In Another World with My Smartphone: The entire Seekers guild is regarded as one of the Reverse World's Five Great Gollemancers, alongside Elluka, the Witch-King of Isengard, the Maestro, and the Professor.
Live-Action TV
- Hi-5: After performing a live song at the beginning of every episode, the Hi-5 members introduce themselves one by one with "Hi! I'm [name]!". Afterwards, they all say "And together, we're Hi-5!", followed by the child audience cheering.
- Mock the Week: In one episode, Andy Parson parodies this trope:
Hello, my name is Billy Cock, and this is my partner, Brian Balls. And together we are (beat) Billy and Brian!
- A Bit of Fry and Laurie: This happens a couple of times, usually as part of a parody of some television personality
or other.
- Super Sentai and Power Rangers roll calls always take this format, with each Ranger introducing him/herself (either just saying their codename or giving a little speech about themselves) before all the members say the team name together. In fact, the call of the original Himitsu Sentai Gorenger team ends with "The five of us are... Goranger!"
Music
- Axis Of Awesome: One show has the band introduce themselves this way:
Jordan: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I'm Jordan!
Lee: I'm Lee!
Benny: And I-
Lee and Jordan (interrupting): And we are the Axis of Awesome!
Benny: ... And I'm Benny.
Radio & Podcasts
- When radio stations simulcast and share the same branding, this may be the result. For example, when WHYI in Miami joined with WHTT in Fort Lauderdale and shared the same programming, the station breaks would name both stations and add, "Together, we're Y-100."
Theatre
- Six: The Musical: The song "Ex-Wives" introduces the Queens this way more than once. At least on three occasions, each of them announces how they became Henry VIII's exes—divorced [him], beheaded [by him], died [during childbirth], or survived (in the sense of having outlived him)—; after one or two related verses, all six sing they are "live tonight" for the audience's sake. Immediately after, they sing, "Everybody knows that we used to be six wives". Mid-song, each Queen introduces herself by stating her name and narrating her situation briefly; with the other Queens serving as Greek Chorus and echoing which fate that Queen endured. Then, they sing the chorus one last time and add a "But now we're ex-wives" line that is followed by each Queen singing up her number and all of them in unison finishing with "Six!".
Video Games
- God Hand: Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Pink introduce themselves with their Stage Names (and sometimes an accompanying adjective)—the wild Joker, the gangsta Diamond, Club, Spade, and mean Hearts—before exclaiming they are the Mad-Midget Five while forming a V shape.
Red: Caught that wild "JOKER"!
Yellow: One-heart gangsta "DIAMOND"!
Green: You can find me at the "CLUB"!
Blue: Have your pet neutered or "SPADE"!
Pink: I-I-I-I-I-I-I'm Hearts, I mean "HEARTS"!
Red: Together, we are... [all five together lie on the floor forming a V shape with their legs and a V appeared on the screen] The "Mad-Midget Five"!
Gene: Douchebags! - Super Mario RPG: The Axem Rangers, as a parody of Super Sentai and Power Rangers, give a villainous one of these just before you fight them. They don't introduce their names but state what they are fighting for—evil, disorder, just because, and chaos.
Axem Red: We fight for evil!
Axem Black: We live for disorder!
Axem Green: We like what we do!
Axem Pink: We struggle for chaos!
Axem Yellow: We are...
All together: The Axem Rangers!
