* In ''Manga/DoujinWork'', when Najimi shows Tsuyuri and Justice her first story, the first thing they compliment is the quality of the paper. Even worse is that Najimi showed it to them separately [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike and yet they both gave her the same "compliment"]].

* In ''LightNovel/SagaOfTanyaTheEvil'', Tanya, who hates German food, but has [[ItMakesSenseInContext the misfortune of being reincarnated in an alternate WWI era Germany]], tells a general she's dining with that the fresh and hot German cuisine she's being served causes her to remember, her time on the front-lines "fondly." As in she would rather be eating cold army rations than the high-end slop she's being served. Though luckily, the general and the other officers present take it as a sincere compliment.

* In ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'', Okajima reassures [[UsefulNotes/{{Pettanko}} Kayano]] that "someday, somewhere" her body type will be considered desirable.
* ''Manga/BloomIntoYou'':
** Sayaka's ex-girlfriend meets up with her by chance, and apologizes for getting Sayaka interested in girls and hopes she's back to normal (i.e. heterosexual), since she believes that their relationship is [[GayRomanticPhase merely a phase]]. Sayaka, while upset by the older girl's apology because she's still a lesbian, [[StealthInsult tells the other girl that she doesn't know how she ever developed feelings for her in the first place]], and says that "Still... I suppose I'm grateful to you- in a way."
** A more comedic example happens in a bonus section included in Volume 7, in which the cast's grades in five different subjects are shown in a pentagon graph, along with comments on their strengths and weaknesses. Akari, who [[BookDumb is the worst student in the cast]], is said to be "decent at biology."
* A subversion occurs in chapter 17 of ''Manga/DeliciousInDungeon'', when Marcille says Laios' sister Falin said good things about him when they were in school together. Cue a flash-back thought bubble of Falin telling Marcille that "he does a fantastic impression of a dog!" It seems to a one-off joke at the time, [[ChekhovsSkill but later]] [[spoiler: he uses his dog impressions to intimidate a shapeshifter into revealing itself, frightens off a pack of dire wolves, and when rescuing Marcille from the grip of nightmares, his dream-form is a dog (a majestic wolf from his perspective, a dopey mutt from Marcille's perspective)]].
* In ''Manga/DoujinWork'', when Najimi shows Tsuyuri and Justice her first story, the first thing they compliment is the quality of the paper.
* Chapter 164 of ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' opens up with Fujiwara complaining how she hasn't been getting any respect from the other members of the student council lately, and Iino tries to cheer her up by saying "I haven't lost my respect for you ''yet'', Fujiwara-senpai!"[[note]]The official manga localization has Iino say, "I still respect you, Fujiwara," which doesn't cheer Fujiwara up as much as Iino hoped, but doesn't carry the backhanded connotations associated with this trope.[[/note]]
-->'''Fujiwara:''' Yet?
* In ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'', after Einhart easily defeats Vivio in their first sparring match, Vivio asks if she thought she did poorly. Einhart replies that Vivio did well for someone who does not take Strike Arts seriously. Vivio gets Einhart's drift and asks for a rematch after she's had time to prepare herself enough to make a better showing.
* A chapter of the ''Anime/OsomatsuSan'' manga has Choromatsu start off comforting a pair of ugly girls who were insulted on Valentine's Day with an apology for it stinging more than it ''usually'' does.
* In ''LightNovel/SagaOfTanyaTheEvil'', Tanya, who hates German food, but has [[ItMakesSenseInContext the misfortune of being reincarnated in an alternate WWI era Germany]], tells a general she's dining with that the fresh and hot German cuisine she's being served causes her to remember, her time on the front-lines "fondly." As in she would rather be eating cold army rations than the high-end slop she's being served. Though luckily, the general and the other officers present take it as a sincere compliment.
* In ''Manga/SilverSpoon'', when Yugo looks at Aki's grades, the only thing he finds to say is that she is better than [[BookDumb Tokiwa]]. It doesn't do much to cheer her up.
* ''Manga/TheUselessSenpaiAndTheTalentedKouhai'' has Hiromi Tsukioka (the kouhai, who's TheAce at basketball) tell Shiori Ochiai (the senpai, [[HighHopesZeroTalent who likes playing, but is terrible]]) the following when Tsukioka sees Ochiai trying to skip out on practice after some bullying from her kouhai. That said, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Tsukioka]] says what she does because she doesn't want Ochiai to give up on the team.
-->'''Tsukioka''': When I asked the teacher what your strong point is, senpai, she went silent for five minutes. Then she said that your strong point is that [[HighHopesZeroTalent you]] [[{{Determinator}} never skip practice.]]\\
'''Ochiai''': [[LampshadeHanging I'm not happy to hear that at all... Don't I have any other strong points]]?
* In the ''WebComic/TowerOfGod'' anime,[[note]]the original webtoon has a similar bit of dialogue, but it's arranged differently so that it's not this trope[[/note]] in the first episode, Yuri asks Evan to evaluate Bam -- who's technically an Irregular, and they're usually insanely powerful -- for any hidden powers, and all he can say is that he seems agile.
