* Happens once in ''ComicStrip/HagarTheHorrible'' where Hägar asks for two beers and then Lucky Eddie says he wants it to. This ends up earning him a funny look by Hägar and the bartender.

Thompson then said "I don't care if there's thirty three of us, I want four beers and four margaritas."

-->'''Rocky:''' One for you, one for me. Two for you (''lays down one for Hugo''), one, two for me (''lays down two for himself). Three for you (''lays down one for Hugo''), one, two, three for me (''lays down three for himself'').

* In ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'' there is a mission where you and your homies get a drive-thru. One of your homies, Big Smoke, orders an absurdly long list of foods while the others order casually.
** And then, when everyone else is busy trying to keep a rival gang from invading your neighborhood, Smoke eats all the food, even the stuff he didn't order. Of course, after [[spoiler:you know he's betraying you,]] that scene can look much different.
