"Illeism is the act of referring to oneself in the third person instead of using first-person pronouns (I, me, mine, myself)."
EXAMPLES
The Marvel Comics character of Mantis: She almost always refers to herself in the third person as "this one", "she", and occasionally "Mantis", which has to do with her upbringing at the Temple of the Priests of Pama (in Vietnam, a sect of the Kree). This speech mannerism is of importance for her, for when the Silver Surfer asked her to stop speaking in the third person, she refused to comply.
In the 109th episode of "Seinfeld"...
THE JIMMY

The episode's title refers to a guest character played by Anthony Starke, who always refers to himself in the third person ("Jimmy").
