Or the act of referring to oneself in the third person.

Well?

Bob Dole would disagree with this.

Pretty sure the Simpsons did that long before Family Guy.

I love it, especially when praising.

When doing some research work I ran across this gem:  "Bronwyn Hall was the main driving force behind the matching process, and it is only thanks to her monumental efforts that this task was accomplished."

This was a footnote from a paper written by Bronwyn Hall herself.

I also once received an e-mail from someone in the student association at my university, which began "[insert name] is writing to you with regards to" and ended with "[insert name] through [insert name]"

And that was a guy devoid of humour so it was pretty strange.

Not quite as funny as citing yourself citing yourself. Which certain people have done in the past.

I had a girlfriend who used to do that all the time.  It was creepy, but she was hot so I didn't let it bother me.  Then Bob Dole popularized it and now it doesn't seem as strange.

Even I do from time to time, but only when I'm talking to my son.  "Give Daddy a kiss."  "What did Daddy say about standing too close to the TV?"
