Mister X and Mister Y | comment |
This trope is under discussion in the Trope Repair Shop. A couple of gentlemen, whose last names are X and Y, exchange polite banter, in which they frequently call each other "Mister X" and "Mister Y." There is usually some kind of Theme Naming going on between the two. Often done by Those Two Guys. See also Overly Polite Pals, as these two gags tend to overlap. Examples: |

In One Piece, the members of the criminal organization Baroque Works only address each other by their codenames, which are like this. Men have "Mr." and then a number, while women have "Miss" and a day of the year. For example, Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday. | |

In Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, Scanty and Kneesocks have a female variant on this, addressing each other as "Scanty-san" and "Kneesocks-san". They're sisters, so it serves to emphasize just how exaggeratedly formal they like to be. (Among other things.) | |
