** A similar joke is used in a ''[[3rd Rock from the Sun]]'' companion guide, which features the aliens documenting their understanding of Earth. When describing the concept of movies, Dick cites ''[[Apollo 13]]'' and ''[[The Seventh Seal]]'' as examples of movie sequels. He then mistakes the film ''[[Se7en]]'' for being a prequel to the [[Blake Edwards]] film ''10''.
* Spoofed in ''[[Back to the Future (film)|Back to The Future]] Part II'' (itself a victim of this trope, along with ''Part III'') with the fictional movie ''[[Jaws (film)|Jaws]] 19''.

* ''[[Mario Party]]'' has numbered sequels from 1-9.

** But technically its the 9th installment in the series, guess the arcade don't count huh?
* ''[[Super Mario Bros the Lost Levels]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros 2]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros 3]]'', ''[[Super Mario Land 2 Six Golden Coins]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

* [[World War II]], the "sequel" to the Great War also known as the War to End All Wars that is now commonly referred to as World War I. Of course, there is also the as yet hypothetical [[World War III]]. Higher numbered World Wars are occasionally referenced in media set far enough into the future.

* [[The Crusades]] were numbered retroactively by historians, from the First Crusade (1096-99) to the Ninth Crusade (1271-72) and many unnumbered Crusades also.
* The European alliances that were fighting against France during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars were successively numbered coalitions of various countries opposing the expansion of French power. The coterminous military conflicts between the two sides are subsequently also most often referred to as "The War Of the First/Second/etc. Coalition".
