* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': Toph is the only character to enjoy the completely biased Fire Nation-sponsored play recapping the Gaang's adventures (despite not being able to see it), in part because the play's version of her has much the same personality if a laughably wrong physical profile (there Toph is a burly adult man instead of a twelve-year-old girl).

* ''Manga/BlazblueRemixHeart'': Noel is known for being a LethalChef that none of her closest friends like her cooking. Except for Mai, due to her "super-taste" ability, she can sense the innocence and earnestness of Noel behind her efforts, which apparently makes it taste like heaven (to her).

* In the ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'' book "Asterix the Legionary", when Asterix and Obelix join the army, they are served soup, which everyone hates except for the british one.
* In ''ComicBook/TheSimpsons'' comic "The Geek Shall Inherit The Earth", Doug and Troy [=McClure=] make a Sci-Fi film which bombs because Doug made it too scientifically accurate (there are [[AvertedTrope no]] sound effects [[SpaceIsNoisy during the space battles]], and the spaceships move slowly because he wouldn't allow faster-than-light travel). The last panel of the premier shows that the entire audience has left in annoyance except for Comic Book Guy, who enthusiastically proclaims it "a triumph".

Can overlap with StockYuck, IncrediblyLameFun, StylisticSuck, EpicFail, and LamePunReaction, and can also overlap with MuseumOfBoredom, ToughRoom, and NatureIsBoring (although those tropes are downplayed as they at least please ''one'' person). Compare and contrast the YMMV page FunForSome, which is for when a few people find something fun that was ''never'' meant to be fun and SlowClap for when only one person claps at first, but then gradually, everyone does. Also compare AbileneParadox for when ''no one'' wants to take the course of action, but everyone agrees because they mistakenly think each other wants it. Contrast SomebodyDoesntLoveRaymond, for when only one person ''dis''likes some''one''. Can sometimes invert EvenTheRatsWontTouchIt by having ''only'' a rat or whatever want it.

* In the ''Literature/DirtyBertie'' story "Burp!", Bertie is eating lunch with his friends and only he likes his lunch.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': In the "Sun and Moon" saga, When forming the Ultra Guardians, [[WomanChild Lusamine]] designs suits for the heroes that are SuperSentai-based because she thought it would be cool. Ash is the only one who agrees with her while everyone else cringes from them and finds the suits embarrassing to wear.

* In a ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' cartoon, Elmer Fudd is wrestling against Daffy Duck and most of the audience boos Elmer, but his dog says, "Hooray!".

** In "You Only Move Twice", Homer accepts a better-paying job with Globex Corporation and relocates the family to CompanyTown Cypress Creek. He enjoys the extra challenges and gets on well with his new boss, but every other member of the family finds something about the change that makes them miserable; Marge starts drinking wine out of boredom because their new house has too many gadgets that do all her chores for her, Bart gets humiliated when the new school puts him in a remedial class, and Lisa discovers she's allergic to all the new species of plants she encounters.

** In "[[BirthdayEpisode Tommy's First Birthday]]", the babies try eating Spike's food because they think it'll turn them into dogs. Not only does it not work, they all hate it except for Lil (who eats weird food anyway. Phil actually does too, but he didn't like the dog food).

** Marge Simpson has a well-established love of IncrediblyLameFun and militant hatred of most anything else people deem cool, so if she decides on an activity you can't expect her alone to enjoy it. As an example, the plot of "Monty Can't Buy Me Love" begins with her dragging the rest of the family to go on a walk with her through the most boring part of town, and she not only is the only one that thinks it's fun, she points out things she likes in the neighborhood like she was a tour guide. When the family noticed that a superstore opened nearby, she is the only one who doesn't finds it fun because it disrupted her walking route. In "Burns, Baby Burns", the Simpsons spend the day apple-picking at a cider mill. Most of the family ends up bored out of their minds, but Marge has a blast and leaves decked with souvenirs.
