You've spent hours hanging balloons, decorations, and banners on the wall. You've cooked the food to perfection. The cake is ready, and the candles have already been lit. The presents are waiting to be opened. You even have the music all sorted out. It's a perfect birthday party. There's just one problem: nobody else is coming. Birthdays are supposed to be a great occasion to get together with friends, when everything is about you. So when someone has only themselves with whom to celebrate their birthday, it's a sign that they really are alone. Writers tend to use this trope to establish that the character in question is The Woobie (if Played for Drama) or The Chew Toy (if Played for Laughs). This character may also be a Cloud Cuckoo Lander since these will often misunderstand the point of rituals, and may make a Literal-Minded interpretation of the "everything is about you" idea. (If a friend is there, then not everything is, technically, about you.) Compare Not-So-Forgotten Birthday and A Birthday, Not a Break. Could be the result of a Perennially Overshadowed Birthday or Birthday Buddies situation, with everyone choosing to celebrate the holiday or the other person's birthday instead. At least this character is making an effort. Contrast Never Had a Birthday Party, where a character does not bother with the pretense of a celebration, maybe because they do not even understand the idea. Has absolutely nothing to do with Two-Person Pool Party. |

Exaggerated for comedy in Megas XLR. Jamie, trying to get a favour, insists that he's always been there for Coop. Cue to Coop recalling all the times Jamie has left him hanging, including Coop waiting alone in front of a movie theater, at the amusement park, this trope as Coop sits alone at a table for his birthday party, and then Coop sitting alone at a table for Jamie's birthday party. | |

In The Shape of Water, there's a brief scene of a depressed-looking man at a bus stop, holding a balloon and a birthday cake. One slice is taken out of the cake, suggesting he was expecting his friends to show up but they didn't. | |

In NieR Re[in]carnation, the "Garden of Benediction" event is about the Girl having one of these. Since she's grown up in absolute poverty, she has no idea what a birthday cake looks smells, or tastes like, so she makes one out of dirt. In the background of the story, Mama is watching from afar until she decides to give her a real birthday cake, even though it violates whatever Alien Non-Interference Clause she's supposed to keep up. | |

In the opening prologue of Batman: Arkham Knight, as you walk around in Pauli's diner, there is a lone man at a booth with a small cupcake with his name, 'Noel', on it with a single lit candle. Noel is downtrodden and will give you a dirty look if you approach him. He will then return to looking downtrodden as his cupcake. Unfortunately, this is only the start of his troubles, as the booth next to him is a Scarecrow henchmen about to deploy fear gas in the diner. | |

The Simpsons: In "The Haw-Hawed Couple", Nelson throws a birthday party and invites all of his classmates. Bart is the only one to turn up because Marge forces him to go. Brought up in "Radioactive Man", when Nelson laughs at himself for screwing up the audition for Radioactive Man's sidekick, Fallout Boy. In "Stark Raving Dad", it's Lisa's eighth birthday. She begs Bart not to forget, but he does. Lisa is eventually shown sitting at the kitchen table with a small cake, singing sadly and crying to herself. Technically, Lisa's little sister Maggie is also there, but Maggie is too young to talk, let alone understand what's going on. |

"Pity Party" by Melanie Martinez about her tragic character, Cry Baby. In this case, she throws a birthday party, inviting her boyfriend and a few others, but no one shows up. She tries to stay positive, saying she'll have more cake, but she quickly spirals into depressed psychosis, trashing her party without enjoyment, and feeling acute loneliness. | |

The "Claptrap's Birthday Bash" sidequest from Borderlands 2, where you send invitations to Claptrap's birthday party for him. None of the guests accept the invitation, so you end up alone with Claptrap. You could make it a little less sad by having four players go, but that's four out of six playable characters — under the best circumstances, not even all the Vault Hunters go to Claptrap's party, which only ends up lasting a few minutes. Word of God states that the mission was based off of an actual One Man Birthday Party that the creative designer once witnessed. | |

Though not a birthday but used in a similar context, in Twin Princess of Wonder Planet, Bright spends an entire episode preparing for a lavish party to celebrate becoming the king after taking over the Wonder Planet. While decorating, he imagines his Love Interest Fine showing up. Fine does show up to talk some sense into him but is repulsed by his Brainwashed and Crazy nature. She's later saved by her friends, including Rein, a Fangirl of Bright, and Bright's sister, Altezza, both who are shocked at his behavior as well. They leave him all alone while he celebrates sadly to himself. | |

During the Exile Arc of the Dream SMP, Tommy held a beach party in Logstedshire, and invited practically everyone. However, only Dream showed up, and when he did, it was twenty minutes late. Not even Ghostbur, the one in charge of delivering the invitations, showed up. Later, this turns out to be invoked, Dream took the invitations from Ghostbur, sent him off to go for a walk in the snow (Ghostbur melts when he touches water, though he thankfully survived that ordeal), and played dumb when Tommy asked if anything happened to the invitations. | |

In The Game (1997), Nicholas Van Orten is an extremely wealthy, attractive man who is so Married to the Job that he spends his birthday working even though he's the boss, and the only thing he has to mark the occasion is a surprise birthday cupcake left by his housekeeper to go with his solitary supper. If you didn't catch how this relates to subsequent events, take some time to think about it. | |

Blue, one of the Brothers Bear in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, is depressed that no one remembered his birthday when you first meet him. As it turns out, one of his brothers - Blizzard - DID remember, but was too far away to attend the party. As such, it falls to the Kongs to relay his gift (and when they do, Blue cheers up considerably). | |

InCryptid: Not even his own sister came to Artie's twelfth birthday party. Fortunately, his best friend and cousin Sarah did, and they had fun until he said he liked her.note She's adopted AND a different species from him, so this was less Kissing Cousins squick and more "she thought she was subconsciously mind-controlling him to like her". | |

In one episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Goren and Eames are investigating a murder which seems to have been committed by one of a pair of constantly sniping married psychologists. Each is convinced the other is guilty, while their daughter is caught in the middle. Goren catches sight of a photo in which the daughter, aged around eight, is having one of these, celebrating with only household staff in attendance because her parents aren't around. The insight this gives him into the family dynamic helps him realize the truth - the daughter committed the murder, and is framing both parents, as revenge for her miserable childhood. | |

In the Ultra Fast Pony episode "Purple Party Pooper", Twilight sends invitations for her birthday party, then finds out that no one is planning to attend. She becomes increasingly unhinged as she tries to figure out why her friends won't come. The end of the episode implies that Princess Celestia had the same problem (the day was coincidentally her birthday as well)—since Twi was the only one to show up, and she only came because Celestia commanded her. | |

Played with in one The Owl House comic by MoringMark, where Eda actually has a large group of people band together to throw her a birthday party despite the fact that they're all trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Luz on the other hand is shown sitting in the dark with a cupcake on Earth, quietly wishing Eda a happy birthday while not even knowing if she's alive much less that she has others with her. | |

A good number of childhood flashbacks in Archer involve Sterling sitting by himself crying. One related to his birthday had him in a run-down apartment all by himself, his butler/nanny locked in a bathroom getting high and his mother out of the country on a secret agent job ("Guatemala's democratically-elected government wasn't gonna overthrow itself!"). Then Sterling's anonymous father entered to give him a stuffed alligator. Given the adult Sterling has an intense and uncharacteristic fear and hatred of alligators, it's not clear quite what that means on a psychological level. | |

Exaggerated and parodied in the backstory of Doofenshmirtz in Phineas and Ferb. He states that neither of his parents bothered to show up to his birth, and that he had to throw surprise birthday parties for himself. Also, at age eight, he was abandoned at a Suck E. Cheese's to the point that the employees working there let him lock up the shop at closing. | |

On the first season of A Different World, Whitley's birthday is coming up and she planned on spending it with her best friend, Millie - who backs out because she and her boyfriend, Ron, are celebrating their 3-month anniversary. Near the end of the episode, Whitley sadly sings "Happy Birthday To Me" to herself with a cupcake and a single candle in it. Averted as everyone comes in right after she finishes singing. | |

One year later, he is so shattered and grief-stricken that he can barely function.

A disturbingly large amount of fanwork depicts Alice Margatroid of Touhou Project this way, perhaps due to her (fanon) isolationist, tsundere persona. Yuuka Kazami occasionally gets this treatment◊ too, though in her case it's because of her (sometimes supposed) Ax-Crazy personality. | |

He could have avoided this if he opened the door of his home to reveal that Natsume and her friends were waiting at the entrance of his home to visit him, but Touma tragically mistook their hard insistent knocks for the mailman and pretended to not be at home, thus missing his chance to not being alone. | |

In the Ruin DLC for Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach, this is implied. The last of Roxy's recollection lines to Cassie is "Did you book your party? I'm sure your friends will show up this time." Roxy is honestly trying to reassure Cassie about this, implying that when Cassie had her birthday party at the Pizzaplex, Roxy was the only other one there. This is done to highlight the tragedy of the scene. Cassie has to deactivate Roxy to advance, which the game treats as a Mercy Kill that Cassie still feels terrible about doing, since Roxy was the only person who ever cared at Cassie's birthday party. | |

In Brawl in the Family, one of the Waluigi-themed comics depicts Waluigi as the only attendee of his own birthday party. This comes as a big Mood Whiplash for people familiar with the Waluigi strips. As mentioned in the newspost, one forum member rewrote the Downer Ending of the strip to portray Waluigi as someone who prefers to celebrate alone and another wrote an alternate version where Luigi came by. | |

The My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic episode "Party of One" plays with this one. Pinkie celebrates a party with a bunch of inanimate objects because her friends were busy, and she thinks that they don't want to be her friends anymore — but the party in question is for (the day after) her pet alligator's birthday, not her own. At the end, it's revealed that the real reason her friends can't attend this party is because they're organizing a surprise party for Pinkie's birthday. Pinkie had somehow completely forgotten her own birthday. Since she only attends this party after Rainbow Dash drags her there, the cast almost winds up with a party where everyone except the birthday girl shows up. | |

Summer Camp Island. In the episode "It's My Party," Susie tries to invite all the campers to her birthday party, but no one shows up. Oscar and Hedgehog then see Susie inside her cabin, singing a sad birthday song to herself, and using her magic to conjure up a cupcake with a single birthday candle on it, which is then stolen by a bat. In the same episode, Oscar reveals that nobody showed up to his fifth birthday party, not even Hedgehog, his best friend. She claims she was busy that day. |

Once Upon a Time begins this way. When it turns out that her date was just a sham to get a bounty, Emma goes home to have a cupcake with a single candle on it by herself. She blows out the candle, presumably wishing she wasn't alone, and there's a knock at the door, which turns out to be the son she gave up for adoption ten years ago. Paralleled in a Season 7 flashback with Alice, though considering she was magically trapped at the time and the only person who knew her whereabouts had been cursed to keep away from her, it's obvious she wasn't alone by choice. |
