Basic Trope: A work with a number in the name.

  • Straight: A movie is titled Every 5 Yards.
  • Exaggerated: There's a movie called "Five 4 Three: Two Won".
  • Downplayed: Roses has the subtitle Two lovers, one world between them.
  • Justified: ???
  • Inverted: ???
  • Subverted: The 5 in "Every 5 Yards" was actually just an S in a very strange font, so the actual title is "Every's Yards".
  • Double Subverted: ???
  • Parodied: ???
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: A film is titled "Moss Tales: It's Time To Get Mossy".
  • Enforced: "Roses 2" is a Mock Buster attempting to ride on the success of the earlier film "Roses", so the number is meant to emulate Numbered Sequels.
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
  • Played for Laughs: A Non-Natural Number Gag is used in the title (e.g. "Four And A Half Ladies", PNGQuest 0.247)
