Bond, James Bond; Denny Crane; and who else?

Yet another from SNL: “I’m Brian Fellow!”

This reminded me of the real life example of a comedian.

When Leslie Townes Hope family came to America he used the traditional way people introduced to each other in England.

“Hello, I’m Hope, Leslie Hope”.

Of course he stopped this when at school many thought he was “Hopelessly”. (he shortened his name to Les to avoid that and then they responded that he was Hopeless!)

Of course Bob Hope had the last laugh.

(also with the bullies, Bob Hope began to cream them so good that he became a boxer before going into acting and comedy)

Would **Keyser Soze ** qualify?

Or how about the symphony conductor that Bugs Bunny becomes to stomp down that big opera singer?

Leopold!
Leopold!
Leopold!

Which then sends my mind careening towards Beetlejuice

So vote for me, Ted Taglione! You’ll be glad you did! :smiley:

(Anyone else remember that skit?)

In his defense it was the Al Franken Decade.

Yet another SNL.

Lots of superheros and supervillians.

Spider-Man: “…courtesy of your friendly neighborhood Spider-man!”
Hulk: “Hulk smash!”
Doctor Doom: “Nobody defies the will of…Doctor Doom!” (thunder)
Letterman: “I’m Letterman.”

“I’m Buckwheat, dammit!”

FLAVA FLAAAAAAAAAAV!

“Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-ghtor!”

I don’t know if this counts but . . .

Mongo?! Santa Maria!
Mongo only pawn in game of life.
Mongo like candy.

“I’m Buster Bunny.”

“And I’m Babs Bunny.”

No relation.

(Tiny Toon Adventures.)

“Wile E. Coyote, super genius”

(Looney Tunes shorts featuring Wile E. and Bugs Bunny)

I do believe Yosemite Sam also made a habit of announcing his name. Come to think of it, probably many of the talking Warner Bros. characters do this.

Fred G. Sanford. That’s S-A-N-F-O-R-D-period.

I’m Bart Simpson. Who the hell are you?

Hi-ho, Kermit the Frog here.

The name’s Tigger- T-I-double-guh-ER!

It’s a-me, Mario!

Although he doesn’t say it to anyone in particular, Popeye often sings to himself that “I’m Popeye the sailor man.”

My name’s Friday. I’m a cop.

Sgt. Frank Drebin. Detective Lieutenant, Police Squad.

“You’re going to see the real Bob Dole from now on.”

For good measure, wikipedia ariticle on well-known illeists.

Thanks for that link and the new (to me) word. I sorta suspected there might be a name for it, but hadn’t seen it before now.

Wiki is just too cool at times.

FWIW, I don’t find James Bond or Denny Crane on that page. Curious!

Is it not a great thing that I, the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, do?

I don’t think they’re really illeists, they’re just famous for frequently introducing themselves. Bond saying “James Bond wants a vodka martini” would be illeism.

And I now see RealityChuck beat me to the Bob Dole joke by several days.
