I'll Take Two Beers Too

Groucho: Two beers, bartender!
Chico: I'll take two beers too.

— A Night at the Opera (1935)

A stock joke playing on the Ambiguous Syntax that results when two people are present and one places the food order. Runs in two types:

1. Bob places an order that is enough for himself and Alice, causing Alice to chime in that she'll have the same. (greed on Alice's side).
2. Bob places an order that is enough for himself and Alice, then turns to her and asks "Do you want anything?" (greed on Bob's side)

While mainly just a quick gag, this trope also gets the point across that Alice or Bob is a Big Eater, or that one of them just wants to drown his sorrows in alcohol that much faster.

In some contexts, the speaker might lack familiarity with the restaurant's cuisine and thus not be aware that their friend ordered enough for both: "Oh, I guess I'll have a 'larjj-peetsa'^note large pizza too."

• Asterix:
  • "Two boars for me, too" from Obelix.

• A Mini Marvels strip, where the Hulk is taking Betty on a date.
