If the respondent instead repeated "shave and a haircut", it meant he was a Vietnamese agent.

* Creator/Wileyk209zback: In most of his Big Bad Wolf videos where he plays a record of the Disneyland Records studio cast version of Disney's ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeLittlePigs'', there's a part where the Wolf on the record knocks this way on Practical Pig's brick house, and usually after that, the actual Big Bad Wolf sings "Two bits!" This is borrowed from a gag he and his friend Tomblappy came up with for ''WebVideo/GoldenBookVideoKillers''.
