Line 2: Sometimes a character doling out [[Rule Number One]] has a snappy list of a few words, each beginning with the same letter. He can therefore refer to the rules as "the five M's", or whatever. For added comedy, they may not ''exactly'' [[Shoehorned First Letter\|start with the same letter]]. ---- {{examples}}: ~~'''Examples''':~~ == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * The first duel theme in ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' famously begins with "When Where Who Which" (also the song's name). ''Utena'' being ''[[Epileptic Trees\|Utena]]'', the exclusion of "Why" turns out to be significant to understanding what the duels are and how they actually work. {{spoiler\|No one asks.}} Line 16: == [[Video Games]] == * [[~~Four X~~4X]] games. == [[Western Animation]] == * ''[[The Simpsons]]'', "To Surveil, With Love": Chief Wiggum is explaining the duties to some civilan volunteers. {{quote\| '''Chief Wiggum:''' Now, just follow a little formula called PB & J. '''P'''eer at the monitor. '''B'''e judgmental. And '''j'''ot it down. One way to remember that is A-B-C. '''A'''lways '''B'''e '''C'''onsidering PB & J. But the single most important rule is the four As. '''A'''lways '''A'''ct '''A'''ccording to '''A'''-B-C.}} == [[Web Animation]] == * In the [[Homestar Runner ~~(Web Animation)~~\|Strong Bad]] E-mail "pizzazz", Strong Bad says that he's cool because of the "three G's": Gumption; Gum, like, chew gum; and Gar... gle. Minty gargle. == [[Real Life]] == Line 31: * The four D's of dyslexia: Defining, Deciphering, Diagnosis and Dealing. * In certain Christian denominations, it's ''extremely'' common for pastors to organize their sermons in this way. ** Answers in Genesis has what it calls "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130127204254/http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/overheads/pages/oh20011117_89.asp The Seven C's of History]". * Slip, Slop, Slap: the Australian mantra for sun protection from a highly successful PSA campaign. (That's ''slip'' on a shirt, ''slop'' on sunscreen and ''slap'' on a hat). In recent years, they have added Slide (on sunglasses) to the list, although this hasn't quite permeated the public consciousness the way Slip, Slop, Slap did. ** The United Kingdom goes for the far less catchy "Wrap, Splat, Hat".
