This is about a work making a claim that its fans are better than other people. It's beside the point whether the author actually believes this, whether the author actually expects the fans to believe it, and whether the fans actually believe it: These three issues are separate from this trope as well as from one another. When the author doesn't believe the message but chose to do it anyway, it sometimes takes the form of an ironic Backhanded Compliment. Compare Pandering to the Base, The Player Is the Most Important Resource. Inverted accidentally with This Loser Is You, and deliberately with Take That, Audience! and You Bastard!. Examples |

The Simpsons has an in-universe example, as everybody suddenly starts their own newspaper. At least two of them highlight a reader (the only reader?) as the greatest person in the world. | |

Tales from the Floating Vagabond adventure Weirder Tales...a Space Opera. The work starts off with the following: "If you are reading this, then you have most likely purchased this module, thus proving yourself a gamer of discriminating good taste. No doubt you are a snappy dresser, a witty conversationalist and a mean cribbage player." | |

Buck Owens: His 1967 single "It Takes People Like You To Make People Like Me." In a twist of irony, the song peaked at No. 2 on Billboard magazine's Hot Country Singles chart in January 1968, his first A-sided hit in more than four years to fail to reach No. 1 note (thanks to Bill Anderson and Jan Howard's spoken-word duet "For Loving You" and Owens' labelmate Merle Haggard's "Sing Me Back Home"). | |
