* ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'' was once selling newspapers and shouting the trope to announce about cops chasing smugglers and a female domestic servant strike. Watching a cop stalk a woman in maid attire made him mix up. Later, he played on the old joke mentioned in ''TheSimpsons'' example and shouted an announcement about thirteen deceived people. Don Ramon bought a newspaper and complained it was a week-old one. He updated it to fourteen. Then Quico, who had previously asked to read a ''[[ElChapulinColorado Chapulin]]'' comic book to check if he hasn't already read it, returned it, claiming he had already read it. As Quico shouted about ''fifteen'' deceived people, Don Ramon laughed at how the trick was turned on Chavo.
