A classic gag where a character sips from or has a cup of coffee with a joke written on it. Usually serves as a Freeze-Frame Bonus or Funny Background Event. As it is a very simple gag, there is little to be said about this trope, but it usually takes the form of one of these jokes (though there are exceptions): "World's Best X", or sometimes "#1 X", with "X" replaced by something relevant to the character. Might also say "World's worst X", which implies that the cup was a gift from a Friendly Rival. "I [heart] X", with "X" being something the character might like. Often something strange. Some joke pertaining to coffee, such as "Don't talk to me until I've had my coffee". The joke on the cup is comically relevant to the scenario in which it appears, to the point where you'd wonder how the cup looks in any other situation. If the writers are feeling bold, this trope also covers cups that are notable in other ways, such as being comically oversized or shaped like something else. Compare Fun T-Shirt. Obviously, this is Truth in Television, as you can purchase cups with all sorts of funny words on it practically anywhere. |

Awful Hospital: Dr. Man has a "#0 Dad" mug full of green slime to go with his Ambiguously Human (or human-shaped) nature and Mysterious Past. If he actually has children, they remain unmentioned. Dr. Phage, the head of the Hospital, has a "#∞ Doctor" mug, matching both his opinion of himself and his general state of delusion. |

In the very first Rejected Princesses comic, emperor Aurelian can be seen brooding over a map of the empire (which is currently on fire) and sipping from a cup saying "NVM I AVGVSTVS", which the author translates as "#1 boss". | |

The Tourettes Guy once showed callous indifference towards his son falling down the stairs, only angrily yelling at him to stop falling down the stairs like an idiot before turning his attention back to the newspaper he was reading. The entire time this plays out, a "#1 Dad" mug is prominently displayed on the table next to him. | |

The Simpsons: In "Monty Can't Buy Me Love", when Mr. Burns appears on a radio show called "Jerry Rude and the Bathroom Bunch", Jerry himself is revealed to have a coffee mug in the shape of a toilet. The bowl is where the coffee goes. A Running Gag in later seasons has Homer sipping from joke mugs that clearly belong to Ned Flanders. Principal Skinner has a coffee cup that says "PrinciPAL". |

Fitting, considering the massive multiversal headache he's about to have to deal with... | |

Alan Wake II: Saga's daughter gave her a mug that says "Not the Worst Mom". She thought it was Actually Pretty Funny and the mug is now immortalized in her Mind Place. She never uses it, but that's presumably because the real mug is at the opposite end of the country in either her home or office, and not the temporary field office she's using currently. | |

Supernatural: In Season 11, Chuck a.k.a. God has a "World's Greatest Dad" mug, which is ironic because the show has never shied away from God Is Flawed themes regarding his abandonment of all his creations and the consequences, and it doesn't start when God is actually introduced in Season 11. | |

Discworld: Small Gods uses this to highlight the Punch-Clock Villain nature of the Quisition. Like a normal office, they have mugs labelled "World's Best Dad" and "You Don't Have to Be Pitilessly Sadistic to Work Here but It Helps!!" Going Postal has a series of mismatched and batted tea mugs in the post office, one of which is a saying mug: "You Don't Have to Be Mad to Work Here, but It Helps!" By the time of Making Money, further damage and fading has changed the emphasis of the phrase: "You Don't Have to Be Mad to Work Here, but It Helps." Given that insanity doesn't just run but gallops in the post office, the mug is quite insightful. Unseen Academicals has Dr. Hix' mug that says "Necromancers Do It All Night" (despite his normal insistence that he's a Post-Mortem Communicator.) In the same book, Glenda is shocked to see a "To the World's Greatest Boss" mug on Vetinari's desk; in this case while the slogan is generic, the idea of Drumknott giving it to Vetinari and Vetinari using it is both comical and oddly heartwarming. In Thief of Time, Death has a World's Greatest Grandad mug from Susan Helit, the kind that you can get from a store by the hundreds. The fact that Susan Sto-Helit gave her grandfather such a "piece of gimcrackery", and the fact that Death treasures it regardless, says something about their relationship. |

In the The Adventures of Dr. McNinja, when the good doctor's mother gets cursed by a mummy, she ends up slowly decomposing into dust with Dan and Sean trying their best to put any and all dust into containers with one of them being a coffee mug that says: "YES I need THIS MUCH COFFEE you clod". The fact that it's comically large enough to carry almost all of Mitzi's ashes is impressive. | |

A Miracle of Science: Towards the end of the comic, two technicians running a space telescope that monitors routine space traffic have a conversation about a strange navigation warning message they got. Turns out that the Martians are doing a bit of Loophole Abuse, because they signed a treaty forbidding them to deploy military vessels beyond the orbit of Phobos without mentioning that they're perfectly capable of moving said orbit wherever they please. One of them is holding a mug that says "Astronomers do it in the dark". | |

The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "The Quickening", Quark has programmed the ship's systems to display advertisements for his bar. The station is one thing, but he also hacked the Defiant's computers. When Worf orders prune juice from a replicator it comes in a Quark's mug that also plays a soundbyte of Quark's advertising jingle. The more subtle gag is that the mug has prominent writing that says "Free Refills" only for there to be an asterisk and fine print that says "Limit one per customer." | |

In an issue of The Invisibles, King Mob is held captive by an interrogator sipping from a "World's Best Dad" mug. He drugs King Mob with a substance that makes her literally see anything he writes on paper — i.e. if he writes "tree" on paper and shows it to her, she'll see a tree. Later, when Gideon is freed, the interrogator himself is dosed with the substance and left sitting before that mug, calling it his father. | |

In a The Whitest Kids U' Know sketch, a kid asks the teacher who was filming Neil Armstrong landing on the moon. The teacher doesn't know, so he asks the principal. The principal doesn't know either, so he calls the mayor, who calls and asks the army general. The general sounds the alarm and calls up President Obama to tell him that a kid is asking question about who shot the moon landing, and Obama sends a bomb to the kid's entire district. Seems like a Revealing Cover Up, but when his secretary asks who shot the moon landing, he casually tells him there was a camera on the leg of the moon lander. | |

Critical Role has a Running Gag that Sam Riegel will have a new cup each season. In campaign 1, he has a giant tankard, because a regular tankard would look huge in proportion to his character (a gnome). In campaign 2, he drinks from a small metal flask similar to the one his alcoholic character Nott drinks from. Then a giant version of the same flask. In campaign 3, he drinks from a gasoline jug. His character for that campaign is a robot. | |

The Looney Tunes Show: In the "Chintzy" Merrie Melodies music video (part of "The Shelf"), when Daffy is unimpressed with the childhood photo of him and Porky together the latter got him for his birthday, he explains to him in song why expensive gifts are better than chintzy ones. One of the lyrics in the song is "A coffee mug that says MY BEST FRIEND will find a new home in my trash bin." In another episode, Bugs' coffee addiction has gotten completely out of control and made him dangerously loony. His doctor orders him to cut coffee entirely, but Bugs is able to convince him to let him drink one cup a day. And Bugs drinks one cup a day, all right: a cup big enough to hold at least five gallons. |

Family Guy In one episode, when Brian briefly works for Stewie, he has a cup saying "Life's a beach". Stewie takes issue with it for some reason, and cites HR complaints (to which Brian responds that he's the only employee). In another episode, Chris tells Peter and Lois that they're the best parents ever after they decide to take him to Space Camp to cheer him up. Peter then barges into a random couple's house and takes their "World's Best Mom and Dad" cups, with the husband acknowledging that when he and his wife bought those cups, this could happen. |

Discussed in Dinosaur Comics #1550. T-Rex mentions that he saw a coffee mug with a cute bear that said "good friends make life bearable". He didn't notice the bear at first, and thought it was a deep, introspective statement. T-Rex and Utahraptor then come up with various "realist mugs", such as "Maybe Mondays Aren't the Problem, Maybe I'm the Problem" and "I've Realized: Other Dads are Almost Certainly Better". | |
