History Main / TheLastofTheseIsNotLiketheOthers

A dialogue trope where a character makes a list of items, groups, or individuals and then deviates from the pattern established with the last one, sometimes the penultimate one. Usually PlayedForLaughs.

* SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion: When a song has a refrain or line that contrasts with the pattern set at the start of it.

* WeirdAside: A strange line which contrasts with the topic of the conversation.

* AndADietCoke: When a BigEater orders lots of unhealthy food and just adds one small concession to health.

* BlackSheepHit: A hit song of a musician/band that does not sound anything like all or most of their discography.

* LadiesAndGerms: When one part of the audience supposedly does not consist of ladies and gentlemen.
* NoodleImplements: When naming several things and one sticks out for being… out of place

* TokenIndex: The only member of a team who is not like other members.

* The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedgehog_signaling_pathway hedgehog gene]], first discovered in fruit flies, has three homologues found in mammals. They are called "desert hedgehog", "Indian hedgehog", and "[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic hedgehog]]", the latter being most extensively researched (enough that a molecular inhibitor for the gene was named "Robotnikinin").
* Cornell University plays this trope straight with respect to the UsefulNotes/IvyLeague.
** The rest of the Ivies were founded during America's [[UsefulNotes/TheThirteenAmericanColonies Colonial period]]. Cornell was founded in 1865, mere weeks after the end of the [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar Civil War]].
** While Cornell is a private institution like all other Ivies, it's the only member that receives direct funding from a state government (i.e., apart from grants for specific research projects). Cornell contracts with UsefulNotes/NewYorkState to serve as that state's land-grant (agricultural) university and the state provides money to three of its colleges that perform land-grant functions.
** Cornell is the only Ivy member that was coeducational from its founding.
** It's also the only Ivy member whose official motto is written in English. The official mottos of all other Ivy members except Yale are written in Latin; Yale's is in both Hebrew and Latin.

* OddNameOut: When the last name mentioned in a group sounds really odd in comparison to the other members.

** Hubert, Dedue, and Hilda are the retainers of their respective houses' leaders. However, while Hubert and Dedue are unable to be recruited into other houses, Hilda is the sole exception as she ''can'' be recruited to other houses outside the Golden Deer, perhaps because she's far more easygoing than the two guys deeply devoted to their superiors. Furthermore, she's also the only retainer who has Support conversations with some students of other classes (and not just Church of Seiros members, whom Hubert and Dedue can support with outside their own houses).

* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', during Hubert and Edelgard's A support, Edelgard insists that Hubert not keep secrets from her, referring to the covert actions that Hubert took to eliminate Edelgard's enemies. Hubert then yields, leading to his LoveConfession to Edelgard.

* In ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' the librarians [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php#.VrHzLdA39yg list]] the various secret writings Van Rijn used in his book. Most of them are [[MadScientist sparky]] stuff like phasing ink and four-dimensional cryptograms. The last one is lemon juice.

* NoodleImplements: When naming several things and one sticks out for being……… out of place

* During the tenth episode, Yuu suggests that meterology is more useful than astronomy or geology. Chikage rebuts that geology helps predict earthquakes and aids in mining... and "some stones [[PowerCrystal have the power to make people feel happier and more at peace]]."

* In ''Manga/AsteroidInLove'', most of the club members in the Earth Sciences Club, a fusion of the geology and astronomy clubs, have an interest in one of the two subjects- the Sakurai sisters and Ino are interested in the former, while Monroe, Mira and Ao are interested in the latter. The exception is Yuu "Nana" Nanami, a first-year who's the last member to join the club, and she instead is interested in meteorology.
