Bob is preparing to take his share of a large item (such as a pie, money, or pizza) that is clearly meant to be split between several persons. He cuts a small, Bob-sized portion out from the main lump — and then leaves that behind while he makes off with the rest. The tinier the initial portion, the funnier the joke becomes: what appeared at first to be moderation and restraint on Bob's part is actually just greed, since a smaller remnant means more for him.
This is most commonly seen with cake, where Bob will cut a slice and take the rest for himself. It's also seen often with money, where Bob pulls a few bills from his wallet and then his wife Alice takes the wallet. The gag can be further subverted if Bob takes the larger portion and then returns to get the tiny remainder too.
Taxman Takes the Winnings is a related gag: someone who has just come into possession of a big bundle of money is promptly accosted by the Intimidating Revenue Service, who divvy up the winnings and make off with most of it, if not all. They may even threaten Bob with prison if he doesn't cough up more...
Most often seen in Western Animation.

In one episode of The Snorks, Willie does this after saying "piece of cake". He takes the cake minus one slice and shoves it in his mouth.

The Jetsons:
In the opening, George takes a few bills out of his wallet for Jane, but Jane takes the entire wallet instead.
Also used in this Jetson's sponsor's tag for Saran Wrap.
In the episode "Future Tense," George wins a pile of money at a horse race. At the end, the "interplanetary revenue service" agency takes the pile, hands him a stack out of the pile, and keeps the rest for themselves.

In The Vicar of Dibley, this was done on more than one occasion by Geraldine, the titular vicar. She would cut a slice of cake and eat the rest, or break off a piece from a chocolate bar and then eat the rest, or one example when she poured a glass of wine, then downed the rest of the bottle in one continuous gulp.

During an extended sketch parodying Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Benny (as Butch) and Jackie Wright (as Sundance) are enjoying a stolen picnic dinner. Benny offers to cut a slice of cheese from a large — like 2 feet long — cube. Sundance makes him move the blade so the slice is thinner, and thinner, and thinner until it's practically a paper thin slice; after Butch cuts the thin slice, Sundance picks up the rest of the cheese and starts to eat it. (Seen here starting about 2 minutes in.)

On a 2013 episode of the American version of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, in a "Helping Hands" sketch, a quirky medical doctor explaining things to an assistant is acted by Ryan, with Colin controlling the arms. The doctor demonstrates pouring out a small dose of "cough syrup". Then (in a funny choice by Colin) chugs the whole bottle. This actually goes back to the old US series, with full size wine bottles so Ryan never actually finishes 'the rest' in any case.

One issue of The Dandy had Sneaker invite Crawford round for tea. He does this twice with cutting cakes ("One tiny little slice...for you! And the rest for me!"), and the third time he pours a small glass of pop for himself...and sprays the rest onto Crawford.

Classic Disney Shorts: In an early Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck cartoon, "Orphans' Picnic", there's a sequence where Donald's laying out the picnic and trying to stop the orphans from making off with food before it's all ready. At one point, one of the orphans sneaks up to a chocolate cake, carefully cuts a slice, and then makes off with the rest of the cake, leaving the slice behind — which another orphan steals moments later.
In another Donald cartoon, "Donald's Cousin Gus", Gus Goose does this, also with a chocolate cake.

In the original All Creatures Great And Small, Siegfried tells James to hand him some cotton wool. James, following Siegfried's previous orders to be sparing with materials, tears a tiny piece off and offers it to him. Siegfried snatches the rest of the wool leaving James holding the remaining piece.

Seen in Garfield.
The title panel of this Sunday comic shows Garfield eating an entire pizza, except for the one slice that was cut for him.
Indeed, in one episode of Garfield and Friends, Garfield hesitates about taking the cake, realizing that Jon and Odie should have some. So he cuts a small slice, eats the rest, and says to the audience, "You knew I was gonna do that." Then he takes the slice and eats it too, commenting "You knew I was gonna do that too."
In another episode, Garfield is giving a lecture on Odie. At one point, he pulls down a pie chart, made with a real cherry pie, meant to represent Odie, to explain what a dog like him is made of. According to Garfield, two tiny pieces of the pie, which he eats one at a time, represent Odie's brain and common sense, respectively, while the rest of the whole pie, which he then eats, represents Odie's tongue.
In one strip Garfield is getting ready to scoop him some ice from a container into a bowl he asks himself, "One scoop or two?" he then scoops all the ice cream into his bowl save for one scoop saying, "I think I'll leave one scoop."

In the Funimation dub of Crayon Shin-chan, Penny's mom cuts two slices of cake for Shin and Penny, but Shin complains that Penny's slice is bigger. When told that they're all the same, he grabs the entirety of the cake left on the tray and eats it.

A common gag for Archie Comics' resident Big Eater Jughead. His idea of "help yourself to a piece" is to cut one slice of pie and chow down on the rest. In another example he conned Archie into having a square pizza; Jughead sliced a small perfect square in the center, and took the rest of the share.

The Good Place, "Help Is Other People": Eleanor asked Janet to prepare margarita cocktail for the end of the experiment. Janet brings her a jug and offers her one glass. The experiment didn't go as well as they had hoped, so Eleanor grabs the jug and takes a swig. She needs a freaking drink. It looks like she'll drink it all in one go.

Timmy picks up the rest of the pizza and says he's down to the "last really big, really round, almost circular piece", when his mother notices them in a starved condition and says he also should give them some food.

Played with in Ctrl+Alt+Del, when Ethan attempts to create a web show based off of "Will It Blend", using rocket fuel on various objects to see if they launch. Ethan says that he cleverly calculated the amount of rocket fuel needed to test to see if a brick will shoot off, and holds up said amount. Zeke then points out that since what he's holding is the calculated amount, Ethan just used the rest of the fuel on the brick. Cue an Oh, Crap! face from Ethan and a brick through the wall.

Muppet Babies (1984):
The gag of cutting one piece of cake only to hog the rest is used in the episode "Happy Birthday, Uncle Piggy", where the song "It's Hard to Be as Wonderful as Me" has a scene where Piggy "shares" a cake with the other babies by handing over a tiny slice and keeping the rest of the cake to herself.
A variant in "Muppet Babies: The Next Generation"; during "The Future is Counting on You", Kermit, Piggy, and Animal are having a picnic. Animal takes a bunch of bananas out of the picnic basket, pulls off a single banana, and then eats the rest of the bunch.

Also used in FoxTrot, where Roger noted that Peter had taken a normal-sliced piece of pizza and asked if he was feeling all right. While saying, "Sure, why do you ask?" he took the remaining seven-eighths and started munching on it, leaving the plate with the small slice in its place. This let Roger know that his son was still his gluttonous self.
He had the audacity to suggest that for one holiday dinner, the portions should be thus: a slice each for Roger, Jason, Andy, and Paige, and the rest of the turkey for himself.
One strip shows Andy finally catching on to this. Peter asks if he can have a brownie; Andy says yes, and Peter pries the entire uncut brownie off the cookie sheet and has it halfway to his mouth when she adds "AFTER I cut it!"
Roger also did this once with coffee. He pours a cup and leaves it on the counter, then starts drinking straight from the pot. Andy then notes that Roger really is cutting back as she takes the mug for herself

Asterix: In Asterix and Cleopatra, Obelix is asked to cut three slices from the Special Iced Arsenic Cake. He cuts out two normal-sized slices and takes all the rest as his own piece.note This makes sense, as the cake was poisoned and they were trying to prove it wasn't by eating it themselves (after having prematurely taken antidote), so they needed to dispose of the whole thing to prevent anyone else from eating it and being poisoned by it afterwards — three even-sized slices would have been too big for Asterix and Getafix. Although it is unlikely that he thought all of that.

Despite the fact that there was still about seven-eighths of a whole cake left, Hagar demurred, "Oh, I don't like to take the last piece"—indicating that in his mind, this trope is the normal way to take a piece of cake.

He later finds out from Dudley that the cake was a cheesecake, and since he is horribly allergic to cheese (Ironically enough, being that he's a rat), he swells up and hits the controls, which cause him to set Dudley and Kitty free.

The Jetsons opening is spoofed on Family Guy where George yells at Jane for taking all his money and ends up throwing her out of the air car, killing her. note The spoof is not done in the typical Family Guy animation, but rather they recreated the exact style of The Jetsons animation down to the smallest detail, even the aged film, trying to make it look as authentic as possible.

The Wander over Yonder episode "The Fancy Party" has Sylvia grab a sandwich from a plate of sandwiches before devouring the rest of the sandwiches that are still on the plate.

Greedy does this to a test cake that he made in preparation for Woody and Laconia's wedding in The Smurfs (1981) special "Smurfily Ever After".

This gag was a staple on The Electric Company (1971), the slightly more mature companion series to Sesame Street. When it was used in a live segment, the character doing so remarked that he'd "learned this from the Spellbinder" (Letterman's animated foe, who did indeed do this trick when the hero turned a snake into a cake).

In the Gravity Falls episode "The Inconveniencing" Mabel finds a bunch of Smile Dip. She takes a packet, dips the dipper in it, and then pours the rest of the packet right into her mouth.
