In situations involving single numbers—or letters when spelling out—any of these numbers or letters may be replaced by one out of sequence, a numerical for a letter or vice versa, or just a random word. This is most often done by The Ditz or by someone mocking their perceived lack of general knowledge, or by characters to try to appear stupid. This trope comes in a few different flavors: 1: Sequences: You know how the numerical alphabet goes? You know how the phonetic alphabet goes? You know what alphabet spaghetti looks like? Stick the four in a blender. May (later) be justified because 6 Is 9. B: Lists: Always Played for Laughs, but not always by someone stupid as in Real Life it is entirely possible to forget where you got up to when designating reasons in lists and/or if it was with numbers or letters. The best examples follow the structure of "number-letter-thing." Wednesday: Isolated Replacement: A number or letter is replaced by something else—anything else, maybe even a picture—in an isolated situation. Let's say you're in math class and you get asked to write on mini wipe boards the answers to some incomplete equations. What's 3x5? You draw a duck. What's 10% of 160? You write "Ze." Ï€: Alternative Number System: These people don't work in metric (decimal). They don't even work in imperial. Their counting can be non-standard with a perfectly legitimate reason In-Universe. Only if other characters think it's stupid will it count. -21: Unusual Chapter Numbers: Basically just listing out of order, but with chapter numbers! Usually of books or films, or The Film of the Book, and will undoubtedly confuse some of the audience. Sex: Homophones (and homosymbols): Six becomes sex, three becomes a tree, M and N are interchangeable and anything else is entirely possible because people can have funny accents. ¶: Lucky Charms Title: Letters or numbers replaced by a similar-looking picture, letter, or number. So, 2 replacing Z but not M replacing W. Surprisingly unrelated to Letters 2 Numbers, 2 + 2 = 5 and 3 + 5 = 4. Occasionally overlaps with Counting to Three and may result in a case of E = MC Hammer. A key element of the Disorganized Outline Speech. Super-Trope of Unusual Chapter Numbers and Lucky Charms Title. Compare One, Two, Skip a Few. Examples |

The Simpsons is notorious for its portrayal of the "typical hillbilly". In "Rednecks and Broomsticks", Lisa is playing with the Spuckler children, they counted while she hid as saying, "One, two, backwards-z, one-legged triangle, banana hotdog, double-banana hotdog, sixty-corncob-two..." In "Marge's Son Poisoning", Homer is doing curls with a dumbbell. He starts counting normally, before randomly skipping through numbers, and then including 'banana'. |

In Discworld, trolls have a counting system based on fours, rather than tens (apart from Detritus, who ends up counting in binary). As a result a troll counting "one, two, three, many"note and continuing "many-one, many-two" all the way up to "many-many-many-three" which is followed by "lots" comes across this way (leading to an In-Universe stereotype that trolls can't count past three). | |

In The Simpsons Hit & Run, the bonus races are run by Milhouse, Nelson, and Ralph. All of them will throw in some variation on the countdown just to mess with you. For example, Nelson will say "Psyche!" to mess with your timing, Milhouse coughs from inhaling smog and his countdown is extremely slow, and Ralph is incapable of counting so he just uses whatever random things he comes up with. | |

In the Rugrats episode "Visiting Aunt Miriam", Tommy, Phil, and Lil believe Aunt Miriam and her friends to want to cook and eat Chuckie when they say he's "cute enough to eat". To keep Chuckie from finding out and to hide him from Aunt Miriam and her friends, they decide to play a game of hide and seek with all three of them as the seekers. As they're all one-year-old babies, their counting is atrocious, and they include words like "peanut", "potty", "macaroni", and "puppies". A comic strip had Chuckie asking Angelica what comes after Q. She tells him 5, and the third panel is him looking at a chalkboard with a B, a 9, a Q, and an 8 that's been edited into a cat. |

The Patrick Star Show: In "Family Plotz", Patrick counts for a game of hide-and-seek in the cemetery, and goes "1, 2, C, uh, banana..." Thankfully, some grave robbers are nearby to help him learn to count, using their stolen goods. | |

Hey Vern, It's Ernest!. While preparing for a baking contest, Ernest reminds Vern of three basic principles (while holding up four fingers): "Number one—always use plenty of sauce. B—always squeeze yer tomaters. And three—don't forget to thump your melons, knowwhutImean?" | |

In The Superhero Squad Show episode "The Final Battle! ('Nuff Said!)", the Hulk tries to count the Infinity Stones to make sure he and the other Squaddies have gathered all of them. This being the Hulk, his choice of numbers leaves a lot to be desired. | |

The first Wayside School book features Joe, who is prone to this even though he always gets the correct amount of items. He can count normally by the end of his eponymous chapter, though. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door: On a couple of occasions, Numbuh 4's given pretty strange countdowns, with letters and random numbers. Presumably, this is a combo of him being Book Dumb and the overall strangeness of operating the KND's 2x4 Technology. Tommy, Numbuh 2's younger brother, calls himself "Numbuh T" when getting oriented as an official Kid Next Door. This gets called out by the other kids at the ceremony but accepted anyway. |

Home Alone. When Heather is counting off the family (with neighbor Mitch Murphy unwittingly standing in for Kevin), Buzz attempts to trip up her count by shouting: "Eleven, Ninety-two, twelve." As the McAllister family wonder about Kevin from Paris, Megan asks Buzz if he's not the least bit concerned about his well being, or something bad happening to him. In Angels With Filthy Souls, Johnny counts off one, two, ten before pumping Snakes's guts full of lead. |

A logic quiz which devolved into a meme has the answers of 2+2= fish, 3+3= 8 and 7+7= triangle. A variant can also be found in one Professor Layton game. | |
