An informal Logical Fallacy where a generalization is made that is technically accurate, but has so many exceptions that the group which is generalized is significantly smaller than the arguer implies, and so small as to make the statement essentially meaningless. For example, Alice says X is great and claims nobody disagrees. Except maybe every member of the crew who isn't Alice. And every student of the school who isn't Alice. And maybe the entire global population except Alice. Or Bob asks when have his cunning plans ever failed — other than on almost every single occasion he's come up with a cunning plan. Exceptions to the generalization can be provided when someone challenges someone else to Name One. In its most extreme form, this trope borders on By "No", I Mean "Yes". Compare Overly Narrow Superlative, Hypocritical Humor, and Immediate Self-Contradiction. |

Horrible Histories used this to describe ancient Athenian democracy. It was the first democracy ever, and everyone had the vote. Except women, of course. And slaves. And poor people. And people under the age of thirty. Otherwise, everyone had the vote. | |

Discworld also parodies the Athenian example with the Fantasy Counterpart Culture of Greece, Ephebe, and again when democracy is introduced to the Kingdom of Lancre. The philosophers in Ephebe scoff at the idea of gods as relics of an outmoded belief system. Then make exceptions for an increasing number of individual gods as they all send an Implied Death Threat based on their domain, such as thunder from a clear sky. After confirming that they are well away from the nearest snowy mountains, they take some time to mock the god of avalanches, until Brutha brings up that it seems unusually cold. Nobby Nobs is insistent that he didn't sell all the army's weapons when he was quartermaster in the Pseudopolis army. The weapons were just sometimes taken away for cleaning and maintenance. When pressed, he estimates that they were in maintenance approximately 100% of the time. |

In Departure From The Diary, Harry tries to argue against Tamelyn's insistence that all Muggles hate anyone who's "different", saying that just because she had bad experiences doesn't mean they're all like that. Yet when he starts thinking it over, Harry realizes that the Dursleys, his teachers, the neighbors, and every other Muggle he's ever met has been exactly the same. | |

In one episode of House to Astonish, they discuss how both DC Comics and Marvel Comics have a tendency to sign creators to "exclusive contracts" with a whole bunch of exceptions for creator-owned work, work for indie publishers etc., and if it would be easier to just say they can do what they like as long as they don't work for those guys. | |

Inverted on Yes, Minister, when Hacker is arguing that high ranking civil servants don't need to receive special honours and knighthoods for doing a job they're already paid for. Humphrey states that civil servants work for a modest wage and deserve the added incentive, prompting Hacker to counter that Humphrey makes more than him. Humphrey then tries to amend it to "relatively modest wage." | |

In the second season of Galavant, it's revealed that King Richard's people have turned the country into a proto-democracy. But obviously they're not going to let women vote. Or the poor, or non-Christians, or the handicapped, or the illegitimate, or anyone with radical ideas... Galavant does take a moment to note that it's still pretty progressive for the Middle Ages. | |

Winnie the Pooh: When Tigger is introduced, Pooh asks him whether Tiggers like honey and Tigger assures him that "Tiggers like everything". When he discovers he actually doesn't like honey, this becomes "everything except honey", so Pooh suggests he try haycorns, after which it becomes "everything except honey and haycorns", and eventually "everything except honey and haycorns and thistles". When the matter of finding something Tigger will like is brought to Christopher Robin, Tigger still insists that he likes "everything there is in the world", except everything he's actually tried. | |

In the history of japan, when Kyoto became such a dreamworld the Imperial government stopped giving a shit about running the country, the only way for people to protect their shit from criminals was to hire a samurai!.
