* ''[[Fight Club]]'' has seven commandments. (They are counted as eight, but the second is just [[Rule Number One|the first one repeated for emphasis]]):
{{quote| The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: you '''do not talk about Fight Club.''' Third rule of Fight Club: someone yells stop, goes limp, taps out, the fight is over. Fourth rule: only two guys to a fight. Fifth rule: one fight at a time, fellas. Sixth rule: no shirts, no shoes. Seventh rule: fights will go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first night at Fight Club, you '''have''' to fight.}}
* ''[[Robo CopRoboCop]]'' had four Prime directives:
## Serve the public trust.
## Protect the innocent.
## Uphold the law.
## {{spoiler|Never oppose an OCP officer.}}
* ''[[Zombieland (Film)|Zombieland]]'' gives us the Rules, as laid down by Columbus. There's almost 40, but they're very succinct (and we never get to hear them all). Examples include:
{{quote| 1. Cardio<br />
2. Double tap<br />

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* ''[[Geist: The Sin Eaters (Tabletop Game)|Geist: The Sin Eaters]]'' has the Old Laws of the Dominions of the Underworld. Each Dominion has its own set of laws, such as "Take nothing, leave nothing," "Speak not to the shades" or "Bow before passing guardsmen." It's suggesting that Storytellers tempt the players into breaking them... but in-game, most Sin-Eaters are very reluctant to break them, as doing so draws the instant attention of the [[Eldritch Abomination|Kerberos]] that runs the Dominion.
* The original ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade (Tabletop Game)|Vampire: The Masquerade]]'' had Traditions that vampires (Camarilla vampires, anyway) were required to follow.
** The First Tradition: The [[Masquerade]]
{{quote| Thou shalt not reveal thy true nature to those not of the Blood. Doing so shall renounce thy claims of Blood.}}
Line 145:
Goodness radiates from the heart.<br />
[[Good Is Not Dumb|Give others your mercy, but keep your wits about you]]. }}
* Also from the Old World of Darkness, ''[[Werewolf: The Apocalypse (Tabletop Game)|Werewolf: The Apocalypse]]'' presents the Litany of the Garou Nation.
{{quote| Garou shall not mate with Garou.<br />
Combat the Wyrm wherever it dwells and wherever it breeds.<br />

== [[Visual Novel|Visual Novels]] ==
* [[Umineko no Naku Koro Nini]] uses a variation of [[Fair Play Whodunnit|Knox's Decalogue]]:
## {{color|red|It is forbidden for the culprit to be anyone not mentioned in the early part of the story.}}
## {{color|red|It is forbidden for supernatural agencies to be employed as a detective technique.}}
