When several people of similar (and high) rank or professional stature are gathered, and greet each other with their titles. For the principals, it is shorthand for "Wow, we are all really awesome and successful. Isn't that awesome?" For the audience, it serves to point out that this is a meeting of Big Wigs, who will make Important Decisions and discuss Important Things. The script would look like this: Seen with doctors, high-ranking military officers, and members of nobility and aristocracy. A variant is to have introductions between people with the same name. Can be combined with Rocky Roll Call. This trope is almost always played for laughs and happens to be Truth in Television. Examples |

Done in a fantasy on That '70s Show when Fez is upgraded in the same manner as The Six Million Dollar Man, except he isn't as needy and obsessive over girls when Eric, Kelso, and Hyde all shake hands. Then given a one-two punch of comedy when Kelso leans in to kiss Eric, prompting a surprised rejecting, "Whoa, Doctor..." from Eric. | |

The Big Bang Theory: A Running Gag in the show revolves around the main cast's superiors greeting each of them as "Dr. [Last Name]" until they get to Howard, the only one without a doctorate, who's referred to as "Mr. Wolowitz" in a sneering tone of voice (which is especially petty since Howard still graduated with a masters in engineering from MIT). | |

This is common on Cutthroat Kitchen: The chef-contestants are introduced by Alton Brown to the chef-judge as "Chef [name]", then there is a round of "Hello Chef"s, then when the judge is done tasting it usually ends with a mutual round of "Thank you, Chef"s. Alton sometimes plays into it and adds even more when all the "Chef"ing gets particularly noticeable. | |
