Basic Trope: The name of the work is mentioned in a work, often in a way of saying "This dialogue is important".
- Straight: At one point in Troper Wars II: The Revenge of the Tropers, Commander Charlie says "It's the revenge of the Tropers!"
- Exaggerated:
- "It's the revenge of the Tropers!" and similar phrases are said at least every five minutes.
- Charlie says, "We won the last war, and we'll win the Troper Wars Too! The Revenge of the Tropers will demolish our enemies!
- During The Tropers: Alice's Spirit 3000, Bob says, "You know what motivates all The Tropers? Alice's Spirit. 3000 people cheered at her speech."
- Charlie, who has a Heroic BSoD, sobs "It's the revenge of the Tropers" repeatedly.
- The work has a long title, and the entirety of the title is spoken in the work.
- Downplayed:
- At one point, it's said "are the Tropers planning revenge?".
- Charlie says that, "It's the Return of the Tropers"; which is the title for the third movie.
- Aya says "It's the Revenge of the Tropers!" in Japanese.
- Justified:
- The work's title is something with an important role in the story. Bringing it up is natural.
- The work's title is a common word/phrase, at least In-Universe. It's natural that someone will say it.
- Commander Charlie is Genre Savvy and has an ironic sense of humour, lending itself to him making lots of Leaning on the Fourth Wall, Lampshade Hanging note type jokes.
- Inverted: The work's Working Title (not final title) is mentioned in the work as a Mythology Gag.
- An word, phrase or title with the opposite meaning to the works title is used instead.
- Subverted: "It's the revenge of the ... troops!"
- Double Subverted: "Do you mean the Tropers' troops?" "Yes, it's the revenge of the Tropers' troops."
- Parodied:
- "I guess the real treasure was the Troper Wars II: The Revenge Of The Tropers we made along the way."
- "It's the second war against the Tropers, right? And now they want revenge, right? I know what we should call it! It's 'Troper Wars II: The Revenge of the Tropers'! That would be an awesome movie title!"
- A Title Drop of a Word Purée Title with a bad case of Colon Cancer, followed by the others asking "What WAS that?!". The one that Title Dropped explains that he has no idea why he said it.
- A character tries to repeatedly drop the title, only to be interrupted at every opportunity until somebody else says it, much to their annoyance.
- Right before an extra tries to drop the title, it literally falls on them out of nowhere. It is never discussed again.
- Zig Zagged:
- "Do you mean the Tropers' troops?" "Yes, it's the revenge of the Tro... you know the rest."
- The movie has multiple titles based on the country it's airing in, but the script remains unchanged outside of language translation.
- Averted: Nobody mentions the "revenge of the Tropers" directly in the film.
- Enforced:
- "Let's mention the name of the work for dramatic effect!"
- The title was lifted from the dialogue.
- Lampshaded: "Was there a point in saying that, other than mentioning the name of this film?"
- Invoked: "So, it's the revenge of... who, exactly?"
- Exploited: Charlie uses the Title Drop as a way to gain Medium Awareness.
- Defied: "It's the revenge of the-" "Shut up and stop playing Captain Obvious."
- Discussed: "Are you going to say the name of the film, as if the audience needs a reminder of it?"
- Conversed: That guy just said 'the revenge of the Tropers'. Isn't that the title of the film?"
- Implied: An army of troops are building a giant sign containing letters that spell out the movie title. However, we never get to see the sign finished by the end of the movie.
