If you're reading this, you were probably linked here by AutoModerator DrewCareyBot from a prompt that's seeking names or titles of something.

This wiki page was created because a lot of users respond to these prompts by just stating a name, title, or news headline. This is just telling the answer as if this were /r/AskReddit, as described here. Since this form of responding does not fit the Scenes From a Hat format, such responses are removed. And no, simply adding quotation marks will not automatically make such a response fit the scene format.

Depending on what they are names of, you could probably work the names into some dialogue. For example, for a city name, rather than just saying "San Francisco", you could respond with something like "Did you hear what just happened in San Francisco?". Rather than a plain old answer to the prompt, this is a line of dialogue, which can then be worked into something more if you choose to. ("You have to wait until you're 21 to smoke there now!", "The Giants won the World Series... again!", etc.)

As above, what a response will look or sound like will depend on what the title is of. For a movie title, you could present it in a trailer, which would give you room to describe what the movie is like, as well as who and what are in it. For book titles, you could ask someone what they're reading. For news headlines, they have their own section:

For most forms of news headlines, you could ask someone what they're reading, you could be the editor pandering what the title of the article should be, or you could present them like a news reporter ("Coming up on Action News Live at Five: insert headline here").

The point of the act-it-out rule is to get users to be creative with their responses. Usually, this leads to responses being funnier and gaining more upvotes than a plain old one- or two-word answer.
