Basic Trope: Something was meant to be fun for everyone in a group, but only one person actually finds it enjoyable.
- Straight: The main characters Alice, Bob, Charlotte, and Dan go to an art museum. Everyone finds it boring, except for Dan, who has a great time.
- Exaggerated: Everyone else finds going to the art museum outright torturous. Dan is having the time of his life.
- Downplayed:
- Dan thinks the museum is okay, but given that everyone else is bored out of their minds, that's not saying much.
- Nobody finds the museum outright boring, but they think it's just average - Dan is the only one to actually be enjoying it.
- Justified: Dan happens to really like going to art museums, but none of the other main characters do.
- Inverted:
- Everyone but Dan enjoys the museum.
- An experience is supposed to be some sort of punishment, but there are at least some people who don't consider it a punishment.
- Subverted:
- It seems that the others are going to find the museum boring, but they end up liking it.
- It seems Dan won’t like the museum either, but he ends up enjoying it.
- Double Subverted:
- The others end the trip unsatisfied anyway.
- Dan ends up liking the museum anyway.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: No one can decide how to feel about the museum as the trip goes on.
- Averted: Either no one or everyone ends up enjoying the museum.
- Enforced: "We need to establish that Dan has niche interests."
- Lampshaded: "Well, we were all supposed to enjoy this... but at least Dan's having a good time."
- Invoked: Dan decides on going to the art museum because he knows he'll find it fun, regardless of whether or not everyone else does.
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: Before deciding on what they'll be doing for the day, the four main characters make an agreement on something that'll be fun for all of them.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: "It always makes me laugh when there's a group of characters in a show doing some sort of activity, but there's only one person who's actually having any fun."
