  • Our Miss Brooks: Every so often, Miss Brooks would be introduced as "Our Miss Brooks" just for the fun of dropping the title of the program. One example appears in "The Grudge Match" where Mr. Conklin introduces "Our Miss Brooks" as the ringside commentator.
  • Paul Harvey: "And now you know...the rest of the story!"
  • You Bet Your Life (Groucho Marx's radio comedy quiz series):
    George Fenneman: Ladies and gentlemen, don't tell a soul, but the secret word tonight is <word>. W-O-R-D.
    Groucho Marx: Really?!
    George Fenneman: You bet your life!
  • The first episode of The BBC's 1981 adaptation of The Lord of the Rings begins with a pre-credit narration giving the history of the Ring, ending with the words:
    Narrator: There it was hidden, even from the searching Eye of Sauron - The Lord of the Rings! (Underscore swells into opening theme tune)
  • Big Finish Doctor Who: "For the church and the crown!" becomes the Battle Cry of the united force of Musketeers and Cardinal's Guards in The Church and the Crown.
  • Dimension X's "Pebble in the Sky": This episode uses the title early in the story, describing Earth as an ignored backwater planet, inconsequential to the Galactic Superpower of humanity. It then ends with the title, as Bel Arvardan predicts that Earth will be the only planet left with human beings, describing it as alone and lonely.
  • The Opening Monologue of The Six Shooter ends with a title drop:
    "The man in the saddle is angular and long-legged. His skin is sun-dyed brown. The gun in his holster is gray steel and rainbow mother-of-pearl, its handle unmarked. People call them both 'the Six Shooter'."
