* The epilogue of ''Series/{{Chernobyl}}'' is a rare case of this ''not'' being Played for Laughs but for Drama (and possibly Horror as well), when it mentions at the end that the official death toll from the accident and subsequent disaster established by the Soviet Union, unchanged since 1987, is 31. Throughout the series the Soviet state is shown as caring far more about appearances than actually helping affected citizens or containing the damage -- in particular to the death count, the Soviet Union forbade listing any cause of death relating to the accident beyond the initial explosion on victims' death certificates. Estimates of deaths by outside sources, including those who died due to radiation-induced cancers across Central and Eastern Europe, range from 4,000 to 91,000.

For a trope that is similarly insulting by separating something into a smaller group, see MyFriendsAndZoidberg. AmusinglyShortList also mines humour from subverted expectations and a comically small number of items on the list. ComicallySmallBribe, CriticalStaffingShortage, DecidedByOneVote, DownToTheLastPlay, OddlySmallOrganization, OnlyOneFindsItFun, and WorldsShortestBook are related, especially if these tropes are PlayedForLaughs. If the real number is extremely large, it's NotHyperbole, and someone asks "how many?", and the answer is AllOfThem, it goes in that trope.

* In ''Series/TheSootyShow'' episode "Amateur Dramatics", Matthew is surprised to see only two people in the audience as Soo had told him that there were twice as many people before. She says that previously there was only one person in the audience and now there are two, so technically there's twice as many. Later, when they walk out in the middle of the play due to finding it boring, Matthew is embarrassed at having the "whole audience" walk out on him.
