Do you think Marcel Marceau looks down on people doing the moonwalk backwards and whispers 'no'?

Every now and then I see the "N times X and one time Y" story format and momentarily rue the day basingstoke started the Five Things That Didn't Happen trend.

But the thing is, when you think about it, who could ever have predicted that 'five short aus' would mutate into 'a few chronological scenes with some common thread followed by one that's related but different'? And honestly, I'd like to shake the dice again and reroll trope history from there with her still doing it, in case we could somehow get the au idea to take off instead.
