* The second season of ''[[Rosario
Line 20:
** ''[[Pokémon 4Ever|Pokémon 4 Ever]]''
** ''Journey 2: The Mysterious Island'', a sequel to the 2008 movie ''[[Journey to The Center of The Earth]]'', which can also be read without the colon as ''Journey '''to''' the Mysterious Island''.
** And, taking it to a ridiculous level, ''[[Two Fast Two Furious]] ''.
*** At least [[The Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drift|the third film]] wasn't called ''3 Fast 3 Furious''. Though that didn't stop theatres from marking it as that on their marquees. (Or the inevitable [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/222150 NewgroundsPoop].)
** Now in pre-production at Disney and Summit, ''Step Up 4Ever''.
Line 52:
* [[Numb3rs]] is an example.
* In the ''Back to Earth'' miniseries for ''[[Red Dwarf]]'', the license plate on the ''Starbug'' automobile reads ST4R BUG. In a bonus webisode, Chris Barrie comments "You know what I always say? Wanna tell people you're a pillock? Get a personalised number plate."
* abc has Reven8e (Reven-eight-e?)
Line 72:
- '''Too''' risky to know
- '''Three''' years we tried to keep silent|'''For''' to save our homes}}
* Probably as a nod to Prince's influence, [[Ween]] title songs this way on occasion. "Pumpin' 4 The Man" and "Don't Get 2 Close (2 My Fantasy)" for instance.
* [[Alice Cooper]] did the [[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo]] variant with his ''Welcome To My Nightmare'' sequel ''Welcome 2 My Nightmare''.
* Sander van Doorn's ''ELEVE11''.
* [[Megadeth]]'s ''Thirteen'' is styled ''Th1rt3en'' on the cover. It's also [[Chronological Album Title|their thirteenth studio album]], and has thirteen songs (not counting bonus tracks for itunes and Japan).
Line 101:
== We8comics ==
* AIs in ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' sometimes use numbers to substitute for letters, and even whole syllables, in their names; for example, "5er0" (pronounced "Ver-None") instead of Vernon.
* There's a site called [http://www.squirrelworks.com/ Squirrelworks] that does this as well as often invoking [[Xtreme Kool Letterz|z for plural s and other text speak]] especially in their main comic ''Coz/Effect''.
* ''[[Last Res0rt]]'' has it right in the title, though [[Word of God]] justifies it on the basis of having a hard time securing a domain name in the "correct" spelling.
