This trope covers situations where something seems to be highly praised, and it's relative to an extremely small — or intrinsically awful — group (often a group of one), rendering the praise meaningless. Sometimes the intent is for the praise to be taken seriously (in which case it becomes a version of the Sharpshooter Fallacy), but the more frequent implication is that there isn't any larger category relative to which it can apply, making it a Stealth Insult (if the backhandedness of the compliment is not immediately obvious) or a form of Damned by Faint Praise (if it is). Sometimes the joke is that, even in such an incredibly narrow category, the thing being discussed still isn't first. Creators may describe their own works this way as a form of humorous Self-Deprecation; it can also be a way to imply that a work, while bad, at least has a unique premise — it's better than any other of its type because there is no other. Sometimes it derives additional humor from the recipient taking it as a genuine compliment, either because they're dumb or because we the audience know something they do not. The stock piece of dialogue that fits this trope goes something like: Contrast Mathematician's Answer, which is equally meaningless because it's too broad, and Suspiciously Specific Denial, where the specificity is worrisome because of everything it doesn't cover. Compare Everything Except Most Things, Trivially Obvious, Damned by Faint Praise. Also compare the Low Count Gag. ("Wow Alice, all your fans are out there!...All two of them.") See also Medal of Dishonor, which may be given out in cases like these. May figure in the plot of a Guinness Episode. |

KPNYRadio: Lampshaded with the Once per Episode statement by Air Waves at the start of each show. Becomes a misnomer by Season 2, when thanks to the Quantum Entanglement Dish, their broadcast is reaching a far larger audience that includes Manehatten and Earth. They keep the phrase because Boss Pony likes it. |

The tagline for season 2 of the Clone High revival is "One of the top clone-based high school shows on television. Period." Countdown With Keith Olbermann, while on MSNBC, was very proud of being the #1 cable news show not on Fox News. Spanish TV channel Telecinco promoted itself for about two years as the "leader of private television", which really meant that public TV channel TVE1 was the first TV network in Spain and Telecinco was the second one. |

South Park: The Fractured but Whole: Scott Malkinson, alias Captain Diabetes, touts himself as the strongest diabetic superhero in the world. Neither the game nor the South Park universe itself have any other diabetic superheroes, which makes his only real competition the notoriously incompetent Captain Novolin.

Dragon Age: Seen in the Dwarf Noble Origin of Dragon Age: Origins. The PC in this origin is the second of three children of King Endrin, with an older brother and a younger brother. A female PC can have a conversation with younger brother Bhelen in which he calls her "my favorite sister" — she is, of course, the only girl in the family. A male NPC has the only marginally less dubious honor of being Bhelen's favorite brother, and considering that he doesn't get along with Trian, it's not much of a competition. In Dragon Age II, when they're trying to get Leandra's sleazy brother Gamlen to help them get into the city, one of Hawke's possible dialogue options is to ask, "Would it help if I said that you were my favorite uncle?" Take a guess as to how many uncles Hawke has. Gamlen does at least chuckle at the quip. |

The Simpsons: In "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular", Troy McClure describes the Simpsons as "America's favourite non-prehistoric cartoon family." Of course, that's not as narrow as the alternative. In "Curse of the Flying Hellfish", Abe Simpson describes the Flying Hellfish as "the fightingest squad of the fightingest company of the third-fightingest battalion in the army." In "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show", Homer's friends watch the first episode of Itchy & Scratchy where Homer appears as Poochie, and they don't want to tell him that it was terrible. Ned Flanders says: "Homer, I can honestly say that was the best episode of Impy & Chimpy I've ever seen." As he doesn't even know the title, it's pretty clear that his experience with the series is bordering on nil (he did watch an episode in "Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily", but he hated the show and probably forgot about it altogether). In "The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase" after the Love-Matic Grampa's advice results in Moe getting a bowl of food dumped on his head, Moe calls him the dumbest haunted love tester he has ever met. In "Bart Star", when Flanders becomes coach to Springfield's pee-wee football team, Homer won't even wait for the first game before claiming that Flanders is the worst coach the team ever had. As Marge points out, Flanders is the only coach that team has ever had. In "Lisa the Simpson", Lisa probably doesn't intend it as an insult, but at one point, she says that Yertle the Turtle is "possibly the best book ever written on turtle stacking." In the same episode, one of the successful female Simpson relatives describes herself as the "regional manager of the third-largest distributor of bunk and trundle beds." In "Midnight Rx", Bart tells Lisa that Mr. Burns is one of the nicest men he ever met. When Lisa asks how many men he knows, he says it's basically Burns and Homer. In "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bangalore", when Richard Dean Anderson of Stargate SG-1 makes a personal appearance at the Android's Dungeon comic book shop, Comic Book Guy tells him that of the four major Star franchises (Wars, Trek, gate and Search), "yours is - easily - my third favorite", to which Anderson replies "I get that a lot". In "Springfield Up", Ned Flanders says that Homer is "the kindest, sweetest, most generous man to ever drive through my living room." In "Homer of Seville", Homer meets one of the three tenors and says that he's his second favorite among them. Homer then remembers about the other guy and changes the position from second to third. In "I Don't Wanna Know Why the Caged Bird Sings", Lisa is awarded the Student of the Millennium Prize. She admits that it's not as big a deal as it sounds, as we're only about a decade into the new millennium... but still, they picked her! |

Played with in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's. In the last episode, Reinforce claims to be the happiest magic tome in the world. However by that point she has a very good reason to feel the happiest, not mattering if she is the only magical tome shown in the series.note The Book of the Azure Sky, Bible of Silver Cross, and the Tome of the Purple Sky could also count, but only the former two are canon. | |

Whose Line Is It Anyway? has a few examples: An episode of the British show featured a duet which host Clive Anderson called "the best song about cat litter I've ever heard." In the American version, Drew Carey called the show "the second most popular show on ABC where the title asks a rhetorical question." Yes, there really was one rated higher. |

H.Bomberguy discusses this extensively in ROBLOX_OOF.mp3 when talking about Tommy Tallarico's alleged Guinness World Records. As he notes, GWR's business strategy involves invoking this trope for anyone willing to pay, finding a new record for them to break (giving Canon's printing of the world's longest digitally printed photograph as an example) and then publicising the event. This practice is thrown into sharp relief when Tommy Tallarico's record for "Most Videogames Worked On in a Lifetime" is called into question; rather than give the record to its actual holder, GWR responds by changing Tommy's record to "most prolific composer of game soundtracks" (though Tallarico still claims the record is for "Most Videogames Worked On in a Lifetime"). After noting two other dubious records Tommy has, HBomb's discussion ends by noting that the record was purged from the database after his producer, Kat Lo, asked some very basic questions about it to GWR. | |

Community: Greendale Community College often gets a variant, where they aren't the best despite the overly narrow superlative. It's been described as the second most prosperous school on the Greendale campus, and once failed a popularity poll on its own website. That said, it did have "the most advanced typing class in the south-western Greendale area", according to a commercial from the 1990s. Britta describes Barenaked Ladies as "the most celebrated Canadian alt-rock band of the mid-90s." |

Ran NFL has quite a bit of this, especially when Roman Motzkus (former GFL player), who loves statistics, gets to rattle off some statistic he has learned. Any debate on "greatest ever" in the German Football League or among non-North American players will likewise invoke this a lot, as Americans who just couldn't make professional ball west of the pond still enjoy a Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond effect in the GFL. | |

Cracked: The site presents to us a look at the film Quigley, with the article titled "The Most Insane Christian Movie Starring Gary Busey as a Pomeranian... Ever". According to "8 Brilliant Pieces of Comedy Hiding on YouTube", "Thomas The Tank Engine Crash Compilation" is "the darkest, most brutal video about anthropomorphic trains ever. Admittedly, that's a pretty specific category, but when you watch this thing, you can't help but admire how horrifically violent it is." |

The planet in question is Mars, and he's not just the only botanist, but the only person on it. (Of course, by that same token, he's also the worst botanist on the planet.) | |

A regular feature of Nintendo Power was the "Top 10 Games" (or Top 5, or Top 20, etc.) lists for the current Nintendo consoles and handheld systems. For a brief time, there was even a Top 5 list for the Virtual Boy games, despite there only being 14 games available for the system in North America. The Angry Video Game Nerd lampshaded it in his Nintendo Power video. | |

Sidekick: Played with in "The Spark is Gone", where Vana brags about how Uni-Cyclops is the third-best unicycle-riding one-eyed superhero in all of Splitsboro. Still, this is a lot better than Static Clint, who's only the ninth-best static electricity-themed superhero of his kind, (he later gets demoted to twelfth). At least Static Clint still lives in the number one best hand-shaped building in all of Splitboro. |

Disney Magic Kingdoms: When Hamm asks Bo Peep for her opinion on his jokes in "Comedic Timing", she tells him that he's the funniest piggy bank she's ever met. He soon realises that he's the only piggy bank she's ever met. In "Home of the Mug of Meat!", Pacha calls Mudka's Meat Hut the "[b]est greasy spoon in this part of the Andes", before admitting that it's the only greasy spoon in that part of the Andes and that that's probably the reason it's still in business. |

Guardians of the Galaxy: Peter Quill notes that he always keeps his promises, when they are made to musclebound wackjobs who will kill him if he doesn't. In an out-of-universe example, fans have also dubbed the movie the best Howard the Duck film ever made (out of two, and Howard only appears in The Stinger of this one - later upped to five, with Howard still only getting one-scene cameos in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Avengers: Endgame). |

xkcd does this a lot: "I love you most out of all the girls in all the world who love me back." The Alt Text for "Online Communities 2" mentions that FarmVille is "the second-biggest browser-based social-networking-centered farming game in the world", which is actually true. "Electorial Precedent" is an entire series of increasingly narrow categories in which a presidential candidate can be the first, ending with the comic wondering which of the streaks "democratic incumbents never beat taller challengers" and "no nominee whose first name contains a "K" has lost" will be broken first. "Stargazing 3": "That star is Vega. At magnitude 0.03, it's the brightest star I'm currently talking about." "Geographic Qualifiers" explores how adding qualifiers such as "east of the Mississippi" add instant mystery to any record, such as "the tallest statue of a skateboarding squirrel in the northern hemisphere". |

Seen in the Dwarf Noble Origin of Dragon Age: Origins. The PC in this origin is the second of three children of King Endrin, with an older brother and a younger brother. A female PC can have a conversation with younger brother Bhelen in which he calls her "my favorite sister" — she is, of course, the only girl in the family. A male NPC has the only marginally less dubious honor of being Bhelen's favorite brother, and considering that he doesn't get along with Trian, it's not much of a competition. | |

The radio programs Grand Theft Auto occasionally use these: In Grand Theft Auto III, the radio ad for the in-universe game Pogo the Monkey highlights that a game review magazine called it "The best springin' simian game since Bouncing Bananas". In Vice City, the host of VCPR defends his old career as a birthday clown, "Saul the Wheat-Free Clown", by claiming that his act was voted "Best Up-and-Coming Dietary-Restricted Comic Act" in Vice City once. The Sleazy Politician being interviewed cuts in to point out that he actually didn't win; "Mary the Meat-Free Mime" did. |

Animaniacs: In an episode of the original series, Yakko Warner describes an overly Avant-Garde black and white French film as "The worst French film I've ever seen! It's also the only French film I've ever seen." Animaniacs (2020): A news scroller mentions that "Wakko's Wish now the highest grossing Animaniacs movie of 1999". It's the only Animaniacs movie they made that year... or that decade, for that matter. In the segment "Fear and Laughter in Burbank" Dot comforts a freaked-out Yakko by claiming that he's on the "top two" of her funniest brothers and Wakko (who doesn't even have a second brother) says the same applies to him. |

Cradle Series: Subverted. Yerin and Lindon are adopted by the Aurelius family and begin training as outer disciples. Eithan proudly tells them that they are the first and second-ranked outer disciples, respectively. Since they haven't met a single other outer disciple and Eithan is The Gadfly, they assume they're the only outer disciples at the moment. But when the police demand their ranks and Lindon explains, he is informed that there are thousands of outer disciples in the Aurelius family, and assume he's screwing with them. He's not, and judging by the progress the two make, Eithan wasn't either. | |

In Vice City, the host of VCPR defends his old career as a birthday clown, "Saul the Wheat-Free Clown", by claiming that his act was voted "Best Up-and-Coming Dietary-Restricted Comic Act" in Vice City once. The Sleazy Politician being interviewed cuts in to point out that he actually didn't win; "Mary the Meat-Free Mime" did. | |

Back in the XFM days of The Ricky Gervais Show, Ricky attempted a bit of Self-Deprecation by noting that at least XFM was the best radio station in the building. At that point he remembered that the Capital Radio building was shared with several more popular stations, so even that statement was not narrow enough. | |

In the following episode he calls it "one of the greatest comics ever to be called Secret Wars". (There's a choice of three, and few would argue that Secret Wars II was in the running.) | |

Star Trek: In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Whom Gods Destroy", Garth's lover Marta boasts about being the most beautiful woman on the planet; Garth quickly snaps back that she's the only woman on the planet. (The episode takes place in an asylum built on an inhospitable, uninhabited world; there are only seven people there total.) On the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Ensigns of Command", Ard'rian McKenzie describes Data as "the most incredible android I've ever seen." His interest piqued, Data asks, "Have you seen many?" Ard'rian replies sheepishly, "Actually, no. You're the first." |

The Masked Singer: Joel McHale, a guest judge, said that one song was "the best song he'd ever heard sung by a deer in a gas mask." In season five, roughly halfway through the season, the show held a Breather Episode in which contestants were given awards, many of which were exactly this sort. The Maskie Awards included such incredibly detailed categories as "Best Song Performed By an Inanimate Object That Brings Me Back to the 90's Slumber Parties" and "Best John Legend Cover By a Cyborg Covered in Sharp Quills". |

Mystery Science Theater 3000: Mike Nelson once described Road House (1989) as "The finest American movie ever made by Rowdy Harrington." Though he would later avert this by referring to Road House as "the single finest American film" in Mike Nelson's Mega Moviecheese. In "Bride of the Monster", Dr. Forrester describes Ed Wood as "one of Hollywood's leading cross-dressing directors". In "The Land That Time Forgot", Jonah and the bots have this exchange about the titular film: |

In one episode of The 7D, Hildy is accidentally zapped by her own spell and turned into a slug, and wails about how she's hideous. Grim implores the queen's magic mirror to tell her that isn't true, and so the mirror replies, "All right. You are the most beautiful slimy slug I've ever seen." Hildy is not comforted. | |

Bob's Burgers: In "Bob and Deliver", Bob refers to Tina as his "favorite eldest daughter". Arguably justified in that he's primarily referring to how he likes her the way she is. And even if he were trying to play favorites, his other two children are right next to him (one of whom secretly looks up to him), meaning he'd have to be very careful in his word choice. The episode "Hawk & Chick" describes the titular movie series as "featuring the most celebrated father-daughter traveling barber samurais in the history of Japanese cinema." |

Keith Moon of The Who once uncharacteristically had a hard time nailing down the drum pattern for "Music Must Change" while the band were working on the album Who Are You. note it was a symptom of the drug and alcohol abuse that would kill him only a few weeks after the aforementioned album was released; eventually the final version of the song lacked drums except for a cymbal crash Finally he shouted, "I am still the best Keith Moon-type drummer in the world!" | |

Rugrats: In "Baseball", Stu and Lou win tickets to a baseball game by answering the trivia question "Who holds the record for the most homeruns hit on the second Tuesday in April." This is likely intentional, as the answer is the team's star player, who reads the question on air. In "Reptar on Ice", the papers say that the aforementioned show is the show to see if you see just one skating-dinosaur spectacular that year. In "I Remember Melville", Chuckie mourns Melville, commenting that he was the best bug he ever had. Phil notes that he was the only bug Chuckie ever had. |

One ad campaign run for the show on [adult swim] described it as "The action-comedy-scifi-drama that redefined action-comedy-scifi-dramas." Dr. Zoidberg has been known to refer to himself as "the most important doctor at the delivery company where I work." The Land Titanic, which Amy refers to as "the biggest and only-est land boat ever constructed." In one episode Fry laments the loss of his "lucky" pants, stating that a few times he'd been lucky while wearing them. He then adds that they're also his only pants. In "Bendin' In The Wind": |

She probably is, but considering normal fairies are idiot mooks, it's generally accepted this doesn't really mean much at all.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep is widely described as "the best Kingdom Hearts game on the PSP" despite being the only PSP Kingdom Hearts title. It's widely considered to be a good game, though. It is more likely that the commenters either weren't aware of the game being the only one (thus far) released for the PSP, or they meant it was the best game of the franchise that happened to be released for the PSP. | |

The magazine's review of Feet of Clay describes the book as "the best Terry Pratchett book of the year," then argues that this is a greater compliment than it sounds like, considering how fast Pratchett puts new books out. Okay, he did publish three other books that year (1996) — Hogfather, Johnny and the Bomb, and The Pratchett Portfolio — but still... | |

Kain Highwind of Final Fantasy IV has been referred to as "the coolest hero ever to have a negative Will save." The page on Crack Fic describes Tetris Porn as "the greatest work of pornography ever written. About Tetris." The page for Clue calls it "possibly the best movie based on a board game ever made in 1985". Possibly. It used to simply be "possibly the best movie about a board game ever made", but then Battleship happened. The page for Ghostbusters refers to it as "the greatest Lovecraftian comedy of the 1980s".

Sonic the Hedgehog: Compared to his other, more impressive, title "the fastest thing alive", it's a little underwhelming for Sonic to be more commonly referred to as only "The world's fastest hedgehog". Then again, the few other hedgehogs in the series do prove themselves competent speedsters from time to time. Shadow the Hedgehog, in one of his game's Multiple Endings, promises to become the most powerful hedgehog in the universe! |

Done subtly in the Transformers: Animated episode "Mission Accomplished", where the Autobots ask Captain Fanzone to be Sari Sumdac's legal guardian because of the disappearance of her father Isaac and an order from the Autobot Elite Guard to leave Earth. When Fanzone asks why he has to be Sari's guardian, the Autobots reply that it's because he's number one on their list of humans they trust the most, but they quickly add that the list isn't very long and that it includes Meltdown and Nanosec, both of whom were villains who antagonized the Autobots. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "One Bad Apple", when Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo introduce Babs seed to their club, the Cutie Mark Crusaders: In "Inspiration Manifestation", Rarity tells Spike that he's her favorite dragon. It's not like the competition's very strong, since every other dragon Rarity's ever met has been a "ruffian", by Rarity's standards. In "The Parent Map", Spike says that Sunburst can ask him for advice about friendship quests, since he's been on his fair share of them. Twilight points out that Spike's only been on one; Spike replies, "And that's my fair share!" |

Similar to the Kenichi example above, Charanko from One-Punch Man is the number one disciple of S-class hero and master martial artist Bang. He's also the only disciple of Bang's martial arts school, the others having left due to the former number one disciple going on a rampage and injuring every other student before he got expelled. | |

Scott correctly surmises that she hasn't dated that many people in general. Ramona tells Scott that he's the nicest guy she's dated yet. Considering that her dating history consists of the Seven Evil Exes... |

On the QI episode "Kit and Kaboodle", Australian panelist Colin Lane laments that Australia never has the biggest in the world of anything; it's always the biggest "in the Southern hemisphere". For example, Stephen had just said that Sydney has the world's biggest IKEA, then had to correct it to the biggest in the Southern hemisphere. Colin then helpfully points out that it's at least the biggest one in Sydney. Ross Noble then relates that Narrandera has "the Southern hemisphere's second-largest playable guitar". | |

Top Gear: Host Jeremy Clarkson usually gives a guest that isn't near the top of the time chart bragging rights by declaring them "The fastest blank to go around our track", with blank replaced with things like Welshman or person with a senior citizen's bus pass. All the antics of Top Gear Stunt Man. Everything he does is really just a huge failure that everyone had seen coming right from the beginning, but they always try to make it into some type of success. He successfully created a new record for the longest car jump in reverse gear, since nobody ever claimed that title before. The time they set the record speed for a car indoors also counts. To their own surprise, it wasn't all that high in the first place. James May is "the first person to go to the North Pole who didn't want to be there." Hankey Bannister: Third-best whisky in Northern Burma. |

The Legend of Korra: Subverted in an episode when the crew is hiding in the sewers with the Beauteous Bush hobo. He gives them gruel which he made from food he scavenged from dumpsters. Bolin cheerfully says that it's the best street gruel he's ever tasted, which sounds like this... until you remember that he was a street rat for a good chunk of his life. That's actually a genuine compliment, coming from him. Played straight and lampshaded by Toph when she tells Korra, "Of all the Avatars I've worked with, you are by far the worst. I know that's only one other Avatar, but still..." |

Honest Trailers: Pitch Perfect is congratulated for being "the best movie of all time about making noises with your mouth". Jaws and Gone Girl are called the best-directed, well-acted, most shining examples of their genre... except said genres are respectively Cheesy B-Movie and Lifetime Movie of the Week. Divergent is "the second-best franchise about a teenage girl revolutionary whose name ends in -is." The trailer for Wild Wild West has a running gag where the announcer keeps coming up with overly narrow superlatives only to realize that even within such narrow categories there's still at least one better movie. Minions: The Rise of Gru is noted as being the second best movie of 2022 featuring Michelle Yeoh and a rock with googly eyes. |

Homestar Runner uses this gag a fair few times: The Strong Bad Email "record book" takes the time to poke fun at oddly-specific records in the Guinness Book of World Records: Coach Z tries to set a record for hopping on one foot with nine pieces of gum on your face while singing the "I'm Just Me" song (as does Homsar), while Strong Mad gets into the book for the record "Most Macaronis Nailed To A Paper Towel Tube By Strong Mad", with one piece of macaroni nailed to the tube. In "buried", Strong Bad introduces his Taranchula Black Metal Detect-or as "America's coolest children's game show consolation prize". In "hremail3184", Strong Bad gets an email asking about the coolest explosion he's ever seen. Apparently Strong Bad has seen (and caused) enough cool explosions that he asks Kelly to be more specific, like "the coolest-looking explosion I ever rigged up in Strong Sad's org-ethnic breakfast pouch on a Tuesday". In "kids' show", Strong Bad describes Homsar as "America's favorite blue midget Homestar." In 8-Bit Is Enough, Homestar remarks that Strong Bad is the "eleventh best friend a guy can have." Which is a lot less impressive when the series has twelve main characters, and Homestar is presumably not counting himself as one of his friends. Although, with Homestar, one can never be certain. |

Encanto: Mirabel calls Dolores her favorite older cousin while trying to wheedle information out of her, though she only has one other older cousin (she doesn't seem to count Camilo, since he's not that much older than her). In some dubs, she narrows it further by calling Dolores her favorite older female cousin (of which Dolores is the only one), since those languages have separate words for "male cousin" and "female cousin". | |

In "Home of the Mug of Meat!", Pacha calls Mudka's Meat Hut the "[b]est greasy spoon in this part of the Andes", before admitting that it's the only greasy spoon in that part of the Andes and that that's probably the reason it's still in business. | |

Aubrey-Maturin: Jack defends his old ship, the aged, decrepit fifty-gun H.M.S. Leopard, as "The finest fourth-rate in the fleet." However, at the time of the setting, there were only two fourth-rates in service, and the other one (H.M.S. Grampus, for those interested) was even more overtly horrible. | |

Zero Punctuation: Yahtzee's "Best and Worst of 2013" described Star Trek: The Video Game as "Least Bad Science Fiction Movie Tie-In on this List". In this case, there was one other item in the category. His "Best and Worst of 2015" described SOMA as "the second-best atmospheric-narrative-horror-game-with-philosophical-themes-set-at-the-bottom-of-the-ocean-with-an-existential-plot-twist-in-it of all time", second in this case to BioShock.

Most Kiwami Japan videos are titled along the lines of "Sharpest ______ Kitchen Knife" where the blank is filled with something implausible to make a knife out of, such as pasta, smoke, bread, chocolate, or milk. Regardless of their actual sharpness, due to how few knives are made of these materials, his knives are almost certainly the sharpest of that material by default. | |

In Detectives United: Darkest Shrine, the spectral Richard Gray (from the Grim Tales series of games) addresses player character Anna as "my favorite daughter." She's actually not his only daughter, but you don't know that unless you've played the Grim Tales games; if the player is only familiar with the characters from Detectives United, it comes across as this trope. Then again, it's Richard talking, so there's no way to know if he's being serious or sarcastic. | |

The opening song of Young Frankenstein is about how happy the people who lived near the recently deceased Dr. Victor von Frankenstein are over the fact that he's dead and won't be making any more monsters (and that his heir Frederick lives thousands of miles away and is highly unlikely to ever travel to Transylvania to make one himself). The song is entitled "The Happiest Town in Town". | |

Wikipedia: The Other Wiki describes Billy Ocean as "the most popular British R&B singer-songwriter of the early to mid-1980s." The German-language version describes Johannes Heesters (1903–2011) as having been "the second-oldest man living in Germany," narrowing the aspects of rank (only 2nd), sex (only among males), country of residence (only in Germany) and discounting citizenship (he was Dutch, maybe an Austrian too). A much less narrow superlative on the other hand was his nature as the worldwide oldest active and longest-serving artist. The page for Eureka, California calls it "the largest coastal city between San Francisco and Portland, Oregon, and the westernmost city of more than 25,000 residents in the 48 contiguous states." It has a population of 27,000. The page on Boone, North Carolina has long said that Boone "has the highest elevation of any town of its size (over 10,000 population) east of the Mississippi River."note elevation 3,333 ft/1,016 m |

A variation in Downton Abbey. After Jimmy leaves (fired after being caught in bed with a female guest), Molesley asks Carson if he is now the first footman. Carson agrees, since Molesley is the only remaining footman. For the next several episodes, Carson keeps giving Molesley extra work, pointing out that, since he is the first footman, it's now his job. By the end, Molesley wishes that he hasn't said anything. | |

WKRP in Cincinnati: Perhaps lampshading the station's creaky financial status, one of more prominent advertisers is recognizable by their spots' catchy slogan, "Red Wigglers: the Cadillac of Worms." Les Nessman's farm reporting awards, the Silver Sow and the Buckeye Newshawk Award (given to "the best news story dealing with or related to taproot vegetable production in the tri-state area and certain parts of northern West Virginia"). |

The Muppets: The Muppet Movie: During their dinner together, Kermit and Miss Piggy get served some Sparkling Muscatel, "one of the finest wines of Idaho!" Doc Hopper tries to brainwash Kermit into shilling for his restaurant with the help of Professor Krassman, "the world's leading expert in mind control on frogs". In Muppets Most Wanted, Kermit's Criminal Doppelgänger Constantine likes to brag about being "The World's Most Dangerous Frog". As Miss Piggy points out right before she wipes the floor with him, "You may be the world's most dangerous frog, but you're still just a frog!" |

On the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Ensigns of Command", Ard'rian McKenzie describes Data as "the most incredible android I've ever seen." His interest piqued, Data asks, "Have you seen many?" Ard'rian replies sheepishly, "Actually, no. You're the first." | |
