comment |
There's a tendency in media to create very long titles full of rare (or fake) multisyllabic words that paint a picture of whimsy, fun, and adventure, especially when the work is set in the past. This is almost a Dead Unicorn Trope as most of the titles are homages to works that never existed at all. It's often associated with pseudo-Victorian throwbacks and Steampunk (especially Those Magnificent Flying Machines).
Not to be confused with Character Name and the Noun Phrase, though they may overlap (either by reversing positions in the title or replacing "and the" with an apostrophe-S). A sub-trope of The X of Y, and may take the form of The Noun Who Verbed. See also The Adjectival Superhero and In Which a Trope Is Described. |

In Totally Rad, the localized manual is not only Totally Radical but way verbose with its section headings, none of which are abbreviated in the table of contents. The Excuse Plot, for instance, is headed: "The Totally Rad Story of a Most Unprecedented Regular Dude, a Very Righteous Babe, and a Gnarly Old Magician Who Used to Live in a Most Bodacious Spread Inside the San Andreas Fault." |

Another movie from those wacky late '50's - early '60's days was Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines, Or How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 Hours 11 Minutes. Possibly the origin of the trope.
Of course the success of Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines (the eventual re-release title) led the director to revisit this trope with Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies.
It also lead to the comedic adaptation Jules Verne's Rocket to the Moon being retitled Those Fantastic Flying Fools by the American distributor. |

Les Fugitifs is the film which was remade into Three Fugitives which became Das Bankentrio (The Bank Trio) in German. The original was first literally translated into Die Flüchtigen (The Fugitives), but that was probably too short for German tastes, so it was renamed to Zwei irre Typen auf der Flucht (Two Crazy Blokes on the Run). |

The Great Race wasn't long enough for German tastes, so it was expanded to Das große Rennen rund um die Welt (The Great Race Around the World) which is even more Exactly What It Says on the Tin. |

This trope seems to have been popular in Europe in general, see also the French spy film parody Le Grand Blond avec une chaussure noire a.k.a. The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe. The Germans just had to translate the title to Der große Blonde mit dem schwarzen Schuh. That said, the Hollywood remake was titled The Man with One Red Shoe with the German titles Der große Blonde mit dem roten Schuh (The Tall Blond Man With the Red Shoe) and Der Verrückte mit dem Geigenkasten (The Madman With the Violin Case). |
