* [[{{Newsflesh}} George and Shaun]] count to three, but go without actually ''saying'' "three" [[spoiler: because in their post ZombieApocalypse world, not being able to count, or not being able to speak properly are both signs the Zombie change is in progress]] for mandatory blood tests.



* Played with in ''[[{{Newsflesh}} Feed]]''. George and Shaun agree to activate their zombie-infection blood tests on three, as loss of speech function is an extra warning sign. [[spoiler:But they have a prior agreement to actually go on two, as loss of memory is ''also'' an extra warning sign.]]

Since this has been heard countless times before, variations are common. A common parody is: "WAIT! Do we go on three, or do we say "One, two, three" and then go?" This usually results in an awkward conversation about how best to count or the characters becoming even more confused and going at the wrong time or missing their opportunity entirely. (GenreSavvy characters may avoid this by counting down from three instead: "Three, two, one, GO!")
