A character is describing, talking about or listing the members of a group but then pointedly avoids saying out one of the members's name in order to snub them.

Sometimes the snub will be called attention to by having the left out character call out their name in protest.

* ''TheITCrowd'' has an OverlyLongGag during a company meeting where the Boss goes around thanking all the departments, such as the lawyers and the accountants and even the janitors, but not our titular heroes.

* In ''Webcomic/OrderOfTheStick'', Durkon tells Hilgya that the rest of the Order are "a fine group, for humans. And an elf." Hilgya points out there's also a halfling, but Durkon left [[HeroicComedicSociopath him]] out on purpose.

* In ''{{A Pup Named ScoobyDoo}}'' after the villains are revealed, they will say the traditional, "And I would've gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you meddling kids." Many times, Scooby would have to remind them to finish by saying, "Oh, and that puppy."
* ''TheSimpsons'' have done this to Homer twice, with the Employee of the Week awards (which he loses to an inanimate carbon rod), as well as the (I think) Town Pride Awards (which everyone gets but him).
** A more extreme version when Sideshow Bob drives around the neighbourhood with a list of people who will "not be killed by me" everyone's on the list except Bart. Homer celebrates, in front of Bart, about how he is on the list.
*** Disturbingly, we did not hear him mention Rod or Todd. Or the Powers family.
