In comedies, Long Lists and even shorter ones will include not only redundant repetition of unnecessary items, but also items which assert their own nonexistence. Compare There Are No Rules, a suspicious game that has no rules, and Missing Floor, a numbered floor is omitted from public listings such as on elevators. Don't see also I Was Never Here, manipulating evidence and gaslighting to cover for a secret organization's activities. |

Fight Club: Whenever Tyler is introducing new members, he always makes sure to emphasize that the first and second rules of Fight Club are that they do not talk about it. The indoctrination goes to the point that when the confused protagonist asks random members what they are doing, they answer him that they aren't supposed to talk about it and think he is testing them. | |

Don't You Just Hate That?: This list of everyday annoyances has no item #13 (immediately following item #12's complaint of things that skip the number 13 for superstitious reasons), and, more bizarrely, leaves item #443 blank, with #444 claiming that you simply have to accept it. | |

SCP Foundation: SCP-048 is an article detailing that there is no SCP-048. In-universe, the explanation given is that any item given that designation was lost, stolen, destroyed, etc. In reality, several writers attempted to fill that slot with a wide variety of ideas, but they were all removed due to negative responses. | |

Johann Sebastian Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto No.3" has only first and third movements — no second movement (apart from a two-chord cadence — though the third movement is sometimes wrongly called the "second", even though it's definitely in the style of a third movement rather than a second). | |

Magic: The Gathering: An unusual non-(intentionally)-comedic example once appeared in the game's comprehensive rulebook: "Rule 502.9d: Ignore this rule". It was originally a rule involving assigning trample damage that became obsolete but kept to avoid renumbering the rest of the rules. It was finally removed when Eighth Edition was released. | |

Danger Mouse: In "Demons Aren't Dull," DM saved him and Penfold from the Demon of the Fourth Dimension by invoking a clause in the by-laws of the Union of Devious, Diabolical and Dimensional Demons note Affiliated with Gremlins, Ghouls, Ghosts and Things That Go "Waaaaooooh!" In the Dark that states any victim not destroyed by the end of episode four has to be returned to their own dimension or have his powers revoked by the Boss Demon. Once returned, DM lets on that there isn't any such clause. He made it up. (Just as well...the Demon planted DM and Penfold thousands of feet in the air, causing them to plummet earthwards.) | |

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind: Played With by the 18th Sermon of the 36 Lessons of Vivec. Like the other 35 sermons, it contains an allegorical story explaining the Tribunal faith, but unlike all the others, it ends with the words "This sermon is forbidden." and "This sermon is untrue.", indicating that although it is a legitimate part of the religious canon, it should never be taught to lay people (presumably because it links the Tribunal's godhood to Dagoth Ur's and suggests that unmaking the former can defeat the latter). To an outsider examining Vivec's teachings, Sermon 18 thus basically says "There is no Sermon 18." Fittingly, unlike the other sermons, the in-game book containing it can only be found in and around the endgame area of the Ghostgate, meaning that if you try to collect all sermons, you will be missing the 18th item on the list for the longest time. | |
