Second Place Is for Losers	comment	You gotta face it: no matter how happy you are to be on that awards stand, first place is still better than second. But sometimes a person takes this a bit too far. When somebody starts acting like second place is for losers, it doesn't matter if you were in a race against everyone on earth and beat 7,999,999,998 people. All that matters is you didn't beat the one. Essentially it's being a Sore Loser, just, y'know, for those who only "lost" very slightly. Some real-life athletes feel this way quite deeply, coming so close and yet missing the mark. For example, one scientific study analyzed photographs of the facial expressions of many Olympians as they learned how they had placed. Gold of course was almost always ecstatic, and Bronze medalists were happy to have placed at all, but a Silver winner usually showed disappointment or dejection at coming in second best, unless it was their first time competing. This is especially true in tournament-style sports like basketball and hockey, where the bronze team had won their game, but the silver medalists lost the game for gold. And then the presentation ceremony takes place immediately after the last match, giving the runners-up no time to compose themselves and put on a sporting face. In a narrative sense, this can be used to give An Aesop about sportsmanship, or at can be used to squeeze some extra angst from a character, especially if the second-placing character was hoping to use the competition to impress a "Well Done, Son" Guy parent. Please note that many leagues (especially youth leagues) consider this attitude very bad sportsmanship. This trope is the prime reason Underdogs Never Lose. Note this trope is only about characters getting second place, or at least placing highly enough to get a medal/trophy/etc., and then focusing on the fact that they still didn't win first. It's NOT about: A genuinely mediocre-to-poor showing. When the character(s) entered the contest specifically to win the first-place prize, such as money to save their beloved school from closing, or there's some other consequence for not coming in first. When a video game requires you to win a competition to advance the story. A head-to-head match where there's only two competitors; whoever doesn't take first is definitionally the loser. When there really is no prize or recognition for second place. Compare Unsportsmanlike Gloating, The B Grade, Losing Is Worse Than Death. If it happens all the time, it can become a case of Always Second Best. See also Rejecting the Consolation Prize, which could be the end result. Contrast The Runner-Up Takes It All, Second Place Is for Winners. Compare and contrast Disqualification-Induced Victory. See also Medal of Dishonor and Damned by Faint Praise. Sub-Trope of Second Prize, when a character was expecting a different outcome in a competition. Not to be confused with Tough Act to Follow.

Second Place Is for Losers / int_11f35de6	comment	In A Boy Named Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown makes it to the National Spelling Bee Championship (having won the State one) and comes second, only for everyone to see him as a miserable failure. However, this is a rather bizarre conclusion considering that, while misspelling a relatively easy word like "beagle" is embarrassing (especially when his pet Snoopy is one), the fact remains that Charlie Brown beat almost everyone else in the entire country. Surely that should count for something?

Second Place Is for Losers / int_1da94654	comment	There was significant media controversy in Australia during the London Olympics centered around this attitude being incredibly prevalent towards the Australian swimming team, to the point where conflict around the long-standing tendency for this trope to be employed towards the team overshadowed the Olympics themselves for the first several days of competition, particularly Emily Seebohm all but bursting into tears in an interview after placing second in 100m backstroke because she thought she'd disappointed everyone, which many thought exposed just how much pressure the sporting culture places on athletes and how much backlash they really do have to fear if they take home anything other than gold. Todd Sampson summed it up on The Gruen Transfer: "We like to think we're a sport-mad nation. The truth is, we're a winning-mad nation."

This is juxtaposed with the main heroines (Ayu, Nagisa, Riki, Kagari and Tenshi), as both groups hold a slumber party next to each other's rooms. The main heroines wear pajamas and are barefoot (except for Kagari because of her Limited Wardrobe), eat bakery sweets and drink juice, have (mostly) fun conversations and sit in a well-lit room. The secondary heroines wear tracksuits and socks, eat junk food and drink soft drinks, they cynically complain the entire time and sit in a dark room. The secondary heroines even form the "Loser Heroine Gang".

Archer is upset to be passed over for the test flight. When a bartender points out that he'll probably fly the next one, Archer asks her if she knows what Buzz Aldrin said after stepping on the Moon. She doesn't. Archer says that no one does, because Neil Armstrong was first. His attitude changes later, though. In fact, he ends up captaining Starfleet's first Warp 5-capable ship.

Because of this, Kagami felt shame when she thought she had lost a fencing match, and even said in her family, â€œthere are no second chancesâ€�. In "Guitar Villain", record producer Bob Roth demonstrates these views, telling Jagged Stone that he'll be dropped from the label if he remains at #2 on the charts. Jagged angrily points out to him that #2 on the charts is still good, and that any other record label would be more than eager to take him if he was dropped. It's an especially odd view for Bob, since his label does represent the new chart topper, Mr. XY. How can he expect to represent two #1's if they're directly competing with each other?

Second Place Is for Losers / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: Goku got second place at the 21st and the 22nd Martial Arts Tournaments. He was specifically told by Master Roshi not to expect to win since he was still inexperienced. Goku didn't care and went for the win and was visibly upset that he lost. The second time, he lost to Tien after having the bad luck of running into a truck as he was falling and hitting the ground first (it's a long story). When Krillin tried to congratulate him Goku says, "A loss is a loss." In fact, Goku's loss in the 21st Tournament was to Master Roshi himself (in the guise of Jackie Chun), specifically because he wanted to teach Goku and Krillin not to go through this trope since there's Always Someone Better''. As demonstrated above, it didn't take, but years later Goku responds to the idea of stronger opponents with child-like enthusiasm. Vegeta's primary story arc throughout Dragon Ball Z is that he hates being Always Second Best to Goku in power; in his view, Goku is a lower-class Saiyan, born at the absolute bottom of the pecking order, and thus should be a nobody while he's the Saiyan prince and should be the strongest by default. It all reaches a head in the Buu Saga, where he sells his soul to Babidi for the sake of becoming stronger than Goku, and during the subsequent fight, he goes off on a furious rant about how Goku's very existence is an insult to his honor and how he's done being second to him.

Hell, when his son even came in first on two separate occasions (during 1st semester finals and during a festival event), it's still not enough for him because it's not a complete victory due to E-Class coming close to beating him.

Second Place Is for Losers / int_44127c7c	comment	Power Rangers: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers has its famous Green With Evil storyline that introduced the very first Sixth Ranger. It begins with Jason facing Tommy, a new kid in town, in a martial arts contest which ultimately ends in a tie. As Jason returns to his friends, the first words that come out of his mouth are "I didn't win." Granted, he doesn't dwell on it anymore after this one moment, but it's still an odd thing for a character like Jason to be concerned about. In Power Rangers Ninja Steel, resident egotistical Jerk Jock Victor Vincent loses his title as the school's tennis champion in "Abrakadanger". Subverted in that it's his sidekick Monty who is dismayed that "You came in last", while Victor, though still annoyed at his loss (since winning would have earned him his fiftieth trophy), accepts the ribbon and reminds Monty that "It says second".

Second Place Is for Losers / int_44fe781e	comment	Neon Genesis Evangelion takes this trope to the logical extreme. Initially, when Shinji first surpasses Asuka's synch ratio, she's just pissed at him. Later, after being curbstomped three times in a row with Shinji always scoring the kill instead of her, she becomes extremely distraught, due to her past: she always prided herself on being the best so that she won't need any kind of help from anyone. By not being the best anymore and her rival consistently having a stellar performance, she's afraid of being put to the sidelines and as a result, her synch ratio is plummeting; seeing this, she also becomes afraid that if she drops low enough, she will be relieved of her duties which to her would be equal to being publicly humiliated in the worst way possible for a human. And the best part in all of this? She knows what's wrong but her pride doesn't let her admit it to herself. Oh, it gets even better. Right after her third defeat (technically second since she couldn't attack Leliel, much less harm it), she's sent into battle again, knowing that this is the last chance the NERV leadership is giving for her: if she screws up this time, it's game over. Not only does she not get a single shot off at Arael, she undergoes the Trope Namer for Mind Rape instead. And she gets saved by the person she hates the most. Next time she's sent up against Armisael, she can't even get her Eva to move anymore and is withdrawn; as an indirect result, Rei-II is killed by the Angel despite Shinji's intervention ("you didn't send him out for me... am I really that worthless?"). What do NERV does in this situation? Do they try to solve Asuka's psychological problems and cheer her up? Noooo, they send her into early retirement and fetch a replacement instead - who just so happens to be the final Angel.

Second Place Is for Losers / int_455e3038	comment	King of the Hill: Subverted when Hank doesn't win a shooting competition, and his dad won a bet he wouldn't. Then Bobby walks up and says, "Wow, Dad. Second place in a real competition." It's worth noting that Hank was established throughout the episode as being a really crummy shot to begin with, and was only worried about letting his own son down. Happens in a later episode where Bobby takes to growing roses and fails in a florist competition. He's disappointed and depressed about it but shocked when he sees Hank (who he actively hid his roses from in the beginning) planting his flowers in the garden. When Bobby asks why he'd do this even if he didn't win, Hank explains, "Well, the Cowboys don't win every game, but I still cheer them on year after year."

For Nanny's part, she prefers to come in second, because if you come in first, people are constantly trying to beat you and you're under pressure to keep coming in first. She likes coming second, because it's the runner-up that people pat on the back, and say "It was a good try," and buy drinks for.

The fourth and third-place prizes are a PP Up and a PP Max, respectively—useful items and difficult to find anywhere else. First place, as usual, is the coveted Master Ball. Second place, though, is a Rare Candy. In older games, this would have been a decent reward, but the newly-added Max Raids bombard you with so many XP Candies that the classic Rare Candy is practically worthless, other than as a moderately uncommon collectible.

At the end of the book, Papa Bear's roadster (the last car made by a well-known car company before it went out of business) manages to win third. Papa is happy with winning third given how stiff the competition was, while the Squire is envious about not winning all three trophies for the best cars in the country.

Second Place Is for Losers / int_60f02ddb	comment	American Dad!: Stan believes that when it comes to sports, you either win or you're just a pathetic loser. The episode "Every Which Way But Lose" has Stan constantly belittling his son, Steve, for not coming in 1st place in any sport. When Steve teams up with Roger and beats Stan's team in a football game, Stan takes the loss so badly that he almost commits suicide, believing he would rather die than to live life with a loss on his record. Also played with in an episode where Stan goes with Francine to her high school reunion, happy that he's married to the homecoming queen. Francine points out that she only won by one vote, and the runner-up had gone on to be fat, unattractive, and miserable since (she left the prom to eat at a Dunkin Donuts). But when the ballot box is shown, two uncounted votes for the runner-up are discovered. Francine happily gives her tiara to her, while Stan is unhappy to learn that he didn't marry the homecoming queen after all. The mother of Steve's Japanese friend Toshi, and his on-off-again romantic interest Akiko believes in this trope wholeheartedly, being a Tiger Mom Education Mama who relentlessly pressures her daughter to study and work on countless competitions. When Steve beats Akiko in a spelling bee, Steve ends up forfeiting the win to her when he sees her mother openly berate her and promising to be even stricter from now on. Strangely, this ONLY applies to Akiko, as the mother is never seen doing much parenting with Toshi.

Despite this, they absolutely hate being second and are frequently trying to dethrone Jem's band (usually by violence or other improper means). When it comes to their lead singer Pizzazz, this is related to her Freudian Excuse. Her mother abandoned her and her father when she was young and her father was very distant and preferred to throw presents at her rather than spend time with her. She came to crave attention and uses her fans as a substitute for it. Pizzazz wants to be the number one band and won't take second place. In one episode The Misfits lost a contest with the Holograms where the objective was to sell more records, losing by one sale. Stormer even reminded her two friends that they had managed to sell a million albums (the equivalent of a platinum) but Pizzazz was still furious.

The coveted lot is a Wave-Motion Gun, with the Federation, Klingon, Romulan, and Cardassian governments all bidding on it. The auctioneer invokes a rule that requires the second-highest bid to pay up as well, without getting anything in return. This works to drive up the price of the item. Picard (representing the Federation) and Worf (representing the Klingons) agree to pool their latinum into a single high bid to overcome the Cardassian bid, resulting in the Cardassian representative being forced to fork over a lot of latinum for nothing. But then the photon pulse cannon turns out to be a dud. Luckily, they come up with a way to screw over the Cardassians yet again by having a Ferengi "steal" the plans for the cannon and sell it to the same Cardassian representative.

Second Place Is for Losers / int_8df07aaf	comment	Taken to the extreme in Peanuts whenever Charlie Brown comes second... You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown shows Charlie Brown coming in second in the spelling bee and the rest of the kids giving him hell for it. In A Boy Named Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown makes it to the National Spelling Bee Championship (having won the State one) and comes second, only for everyone to see him as a miserable failure. However, this is a rather bizarre conclusion considering that, while misspelling a relatively easy word like "beagle" is embarrassing (especially when his pet Snoopy is one), the fact remains that Charlie Brown beat almost everyone else in the entire country. Surely that should count for something?

Second Place Is for Losers / int_8e0312e6	comment	Normally averted on RuPaul's Drag Race, where simply appearing on the show is enough to grant a Drag Queen superstar status in the gay community and nightclub circuit. However, Season 4 runner-up Chad Michaels did little to hide her disappointment at losing to Sharon Needles. When Chad reappeared on All Stars, she joked that Sharon was "borrowing" her crown and the other queens commented that she seemed to be still sore about losing. She would go on to win the All Stars season, but a conspiracy theory is that RuPaul only conceived of it in the first place as a Consolation Prize for Chad. Season 5 runner-up Alaska Thunderfuck had a very similar attitude about losing the crown to Jinkx Monsoon. When she went on to win All Stars 2, it was considered by fans to be just as much of a consolation prize as All Stars 1 was for Chad. Queens in later seasons have been much more gracious about their placement, for the most part (their fans on the other hand...).

He isn't pacified to learn that it's the second-place prize his father won for boxing (since there are only two men in the ring, second place for any given match is literally the loser). Eventually, his father explains that it wasn't for a single match; he won second place in a tournament and had to beat out several other men to get there, and Corey warms up to the gift.

Mario Kart 8 averts this, though, as placing anywhere between 1st-3rd will unlock a random character, as well as unlocking cups and mirror mode (update 4.2, though, makes mirror mode a default engine class).

His obsession with getting out of second place leads to him being an absolutely horrible father and husband to his family, while also pushing himself past the breaking point, all in the name of glory. He gets his wish when All Might is forced into retirement after an especially grueling battle... and utterly hates it, knowing that he didn't properly earn first place and realizing that he was being a hero for all the wrong reasons (as well as how much everybody despises him because of it).

Thornhill became so jealous of Steve over the years, he tried to get him expelled from Vanderbilt High School by framing him for blowing up the school science lab by tampering with his latest science project, a graffiti remover, by filling his beaker with explosive chemicals and turning up the Bunsen burner to the maximum point. Laura, who was still annoyed of Steve's constant calls for love at the time, agreed to defend him in Vanderbilt's student court, where she eventually outs Thornhill as the true culprit, upon which he himself is expelled and likely sent to juvie.

Ceranna was allowed to select two handpicked rookies to join a new class of student witches, but all the rookies are required to attempt a dangerous and potentially lethal obstacle course, and her handpicked choices only come in third and eighth on their first run through the course. Even though forty of the fifty rookies didn't finish at all, and even though the first and second students are both extremely powerful in their own right, Ceranna is infuriated that her students did as 'badly' as they did. By contrast, a rookie named LaTasha explicitly rejects this trope and says that all she cares about is surviving the school's cruel tests. Beyond that, she couldn't care less if she comes in second or even last.

She does get better about losing in later episodes, but in early ones, if she doesn't get anything less than first place, expect her to mope about it. In "Wonderbolts Academy", Rainbow Dash meets a fellow pegasus who believes this even more than she does... leading to the episode casting her as the voice of reason by comparison. Outright subverted during the running of the leaves. Twilight is extremely proud of herself for coming in 5th place, which is highly respectable considering it's her first race ever. Even the competitive Applejack and Rainbow Dash don't berate her for it; they're too busy moping about tying... for dead last. Rarity was traumatized as a filly when the go-kart she designed for the Applewood Derby got second place for creative design, though the fact that she lost to Derpy's go-kart which looked like a bunch of planks nailed together probably didn't help. Years later as an adult mare the memory of her loss still drives her to bitter tears.

Second Place Is for Losers / int_d1143996	comment	Eduardo from Eddsworld takes this philosophy to heart, though itâ€™s eventually revealed that itâ€™s due to constant bullying as a kid due to coming in second place in an art contest.

Second Place Is for Losers / int_d2bae484	comment	Notably averted on The Amazing Race, where second place teams rarely ever take it badly. Of course, there is the occasional racer like Boston Rob who accuses the producers of fixing the race against him. But then, considering what other reality show he finished second on... When Reality TV contestants go on a show after they get kicked off/voted out etc. (like doing an appearance on David Letterman or Today) they'll have all of the losing contestants...until the Grand Finale where the winner is announced. Then they'll only have the winner on, never mind the 2nd place (and possibly 3rd & 4th) who were established during the same show.

Second Place Is for Losers / int_d5cc132c	comment	Thoroughly subverted in Surf's Up. Big Z humorously calls Cody a "loser" because he didn't come in first, and Chicken Joe is shocked he won — he was just having fun and it isn't clear he even knew he was in a contest. During the entire film, all of the interviewed characters say that loser is as loser does, regardless of whether they come in first or not — save Tank of course.

After Samoa, he acted like he was slapped in the face and practically murdered when he came in second out of twenty people, then third out of twenty people, all of which were former players and several of which were considered the best. however when he won the Sprint player of the year award, he immediately begun the typical Victory dance in Heroes vs. Villains.

They've won first place in every ice dancing competition they've ever entered, except for the Olympics, where they came in second. The first few legs of the race, they always come second, never first, never lower, and it gradually drives Josee to madness. Even when they start winning, it's not enough to shake them out of that mentality.

When their first Riding Duel gets interrupted by the Crimson Dragon crashing the final play, Jack sees a video recording of their cards and is shocked to learn that Yusei would've won the duel, sending him into a funk until he gets the chance for a rematch in the Fortune Cup. This duel ends with Yusei winning; once Jack loses his champion status, his fanbase almost completely disappears. On the plus side, this teaches Jack a hard lesson about the fickle nature of fame and the need to stick with one's true friends.

Don't win, even finishing in second, and everyone (even your spouse, if present) reacts with the same "You lost?

Second Place Is for Losers / int_ec28245c	comment	Vegeta's primary story arc throughout Dragon Ball Z is that he hates being Always Second Best to Goku in power; in his view, Goku is a lower-class Saiyan, born at the absolute bottom of the pecking order, and thus should be a nobody while he's the Saiyan prince and should be the strongest by default. It all reaches a head in the Buu Saga, where he sells his soul to Babidi for the sake of becoming stronger than Goku, and during the subsequent fight, he goes off on a furious rant about how Goku's very existence is an insult to his honor and how he's done being second to him.
