Also known as the Cornetto Trilogy and the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy.

The name originates from a "silly joke" during the promotion of Hot Fuzz. Wright had written in the use of Cornetto ice cream as a hangover cure for Frost's character in Shaun of the Dead based on his own experiences. Within Hot Fuzz, Wright included a brief throwaway scene that called back to the Cornetto joke in Shaun. On the promotional tour of Hot Fuzz during production of The World's End, one interviewer pointed out the use of Cornetto in the first two films, to which Wright jokingly stated they represented a trilogy comparable to Krzysztof Kieślowski's Three Colours film trilogy.
