9->''With Gilligan\
10The skipper, too\
11The millionaire and his wife\
12The movie star...and the rest\
13Are here on Gilligan's Isle!''
14-->-- Original ending of the theme from ''Series/GilligansIsland''
15
16A standard comedy trope which, at its core, takes the form:
17
18There's Alice, Bob, Charlotte, Daniel, Ellen, Francesca, Gabriel, Hannah, Ivana, Jacqueline, Kelly, Lorenzo, Mathew, Nicole, Oliver, Patrick, Quincy, Rachel, Samantha, Tabitha, Unis, Victoria, William, Xavier, Yolanda and Zachary. Somebody says, "We praise Alice, Bob, Charlotte, Daniel... and the other people."
19
20Thus, Ellen, Francesca, Gabriel, and [[SelfDemonstratingArticle the rest]] of the Alphabet Crew are being casually insulted by being classed as not worth individual comment. Extra insult is added when "the rest" consists of [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg only one person]].
21
22Note that this phrase in itself is not necessarily meant as an insult. In Japanese, it is common for someone to refer to a group of people by a single person's name with a pluralizing suffix, like "Ken-tachi" to refer to "Ken's group," which is sometimes translated as "Ken and the rest." Examples should limit themselves to works in which the insult is obviously implied.

30
31[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
32* ''Manga/FairyTail'':
33** Ichiya does this when meeting the Fairy Tail members, talking about his familiarity with Erza, Lucy... and the rest (indicating Gray and Natsu).
34** Every now and then, the manga provides [[AllThereInTheManual character profiles]] that goes into more detail about them. The very last profile in the manga shows all five known members of [[ButtMonkey Quattro Cerberus]] besides Bacchus (Rocker, War Cry, Yeager, Novali, and Semmes) lumped into one profile with their name as "All the other members", their magic as "stuff", their likes/dislikes as "other stuff", and remarks from the author as "Nothing, really."
35* ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders'': The five-man (or five men and a dog) team of heroes are often referred to as "the Joestars and the others". Only two of the five men are from the Joestar clan and only one of them actually carries the Joestar name.
36* ''Anime/MazingerZ'': It happened constantly. Often the villains told a sentence along the lines of "Go ahead! Finish with Mazinger-Z... and the other two robots!". The other two robots being Aphrodite-A (or Diana-A) and Boss Borot.
37* ''Manga/{{NEEDLESS}}'': The second exposition introduces the resistance as "A mysterious priest, Adam Blade! Eve Neuschwanstein! And the rest." followed by a group FaceFault.
38* ''Manga/OnePiece'': A RunningGag with [[ChivalrousPervert Sanji]] is that he only cares about the ladies.
39-->'''Sanji:''' Is everyone alright? Let's do a headcount. Nami (check). Robin (check). OK, we're good!
40* In ''Anime/PaniPoniDash'':
41-->'''Rebecca:''' Well, before I send you all home for the day, I should probably get around to taking attendance, so is there a Miyako Uehara here today? Sayaka Suzuki. Himeko Katagiri. Rei Tachibana. Kurumi Momose. And everybody else.\
42'''Rei:''' That's efficient.
43* ''Manga/SaintSeiya'': Hilarious example in episode 27. Shaina and two Silver Saints ambush the heroes.
44-->'''Shaina:''' I'll deal with Seiya. You can look after... the others.\
45'''Shiryu and Shun''': ''(indignantly and at unison)'' Who are you calling ''the others''?
46** Even Jun, who is primarily connected to Shun and doesn't even interact with Seiya still refers to the group as "Seiya and the others" when talking to Marin.
47* ''Manga/SlamDunk'': "Sakuragi Hanamichi! Mito Youhei! And... others." The speaker is promptly beaten up by the 'others', Noma, Ohkusu and Takamiya, who then introduce themselves.
48[[/folder]]
49
50[[folder:Comic Books]]
51* ''ComicBook/TheSimpsons'':
52** One comic has the Simpson family in a ''Series/LostInSpace'' parody -- the "opening" of which spoofs ''Gilligan's Island'' by announcing each family member except for Lisa, who is "the rest."
53** Another one was done on the cover of "Big Book of Bart Simpson", with Milhouse. He was not amused.
54[[/folder]]
55
56[[folder:Fan Works]]
57* In ''Fanfic/EquestriaAHistoryRevealed'', everyone always forgets about Luna. The LemonyNarrator is guilty of this herself, as usually when she talks about both princesses, she just says, "Celestia (and Luna)." Even King Sombra only narrowly includes Luna's name in his paragraph-long curse of Celestia, adding a "and Luna too I suppose" at the end of it. It's almost no wonder why she turned evil.
58* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7326097/8/Missing-from-Number-Four Missing from Number Four]]'':
59-->'''Ginny:''' Harry! I'm glad you could make it. You guys too.\
60'''Sirius:''' At least we got an honorable mention.
61* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7665632/25/Potter-s-Protector Potter's Protector]]'':
62-->'''Xander Harris:''' Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, werewolves and goblins... and the rest.[[labelnote:note]]"The rest" consists of Lucius Malfoy.[[/labelnote]]
63* This paragraph from ''Fanfic/UnfinishedBusinessTheThing''. The only character missing is Copper, for some reason.
64-->[=MacReady=] nodded in understanding. He could recall a few times having help Nauls in the kitchen, often having to help wash the dishes alongside his teammates. Sometimes all of them- Blair, Fuchs, Garry, Bennings, Windows, Childs, Palmer, Norris, Clark and the rest would be helping Nauls with something.
65[[/folder]]
66
67[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
68* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie'', [[ActionGirl Wyldstyle]] explains that the LEGO universe is divided into distinct worlds based on Franchise/{{LEGO}} set themes (e.g., a HornyVikings world and a {{Pirate}} world). At the end of her speech, she mentions [[LampshadeHanging "a bunch of other worlds we don't talk about,"]] while pictures of discontinued and disliked themes show up on screen [[FreezeFrameBonus very quickly]].
69* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie2TheSecondPart'': Among Rex's raptors are Ripley, Connor, and "the other one".
70* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', as Mei describes 4*Town, three members have a specific persona and hobby, while the last two (Aaron Z. and Aaron T.) are tacked on almost as an afterthought. [[spoiler:Tyler]] at least seems to love Z., so it might just be that Mei thinks less of the Aarons and it shows in her description of the band.
71[[/folder]]
72
73[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
74* ''Film/GalaxyQuest'': When the spaceship crashes at the FanConvention, the crew staggering out are introduced by the announcer. Having no idea who Guy is (he played a RedShirt in a single episode), the emcee quickly announces him as "Another crewmate!".
75* In ''Film/ToDieFor'', the trope's usage is quite possibly a result of Suzanne being ''too dumb to remember'' the saying she's going for: "It's nice to live in a country where life, liberty... and all the rest of it still stand for something."
76* Referenced by ''Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000TheMovie'': When Russell Johnson's[[note]]The actor who actually played the Professor on ''Gilligan''[[/note]] character first appears in ''Film/ThisIslandEarth'', Crow quips "Hey, what's this 'and the rest' crap?"
77[[/folder]]
78
79[[folder:Literature]]
80* ''Franchise/HarryPotter'': HufflepuffHouse [[ButtMonkey gets this a lot]]. One of the Sorting Hat songs describes Helga Hufflepuff as "tak[ing] all the rest, and treat[ing] them all the same," demonstrating the most frequently mentioned [[TheReliableOne defining traits of the House; fairness and equality]]. Of course, many people take it to mean that Hufflepuff is just a dumping ground for students none of the other Founders would deem "worthy".
81* ''Literature/MoreInformationThanYouRequire'' On subjects as Diverse As: [[LongList The Past (as There Is Always More of It), The Future (as There Is Still Some Left), All of the Presidents of the United States, The Secrets of Hollywood, Gambling, The Sport of the Asthmatic Man (Including Hermit-Crab Racing), Strange Encounters with Aliens, How to Buy a Computer, How to Cook an Owl,]] '''And Most Other Subjects'''.
82[[/folder]]
83
84[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
85* The TropeNamer example is the first-season opening ThemeSong of ''Series/GilligansIsland'', which listed each character, but then lumped TheProfessor and Mary Ann into "The Rest". Everyone else thought this was unfair but the producers said they had final say as to where to put them, and besides it would be too expensive to redo the opening. Creator/BobDenver (Gilligan), who had top billing, as well as a clause in his contract that let him have his credit wherever he wanted it, threatened to demand his billing placed be ''after'' those two if they weren't moved to the opening credits. There's also a long-standing rumor that the reason The Professor and Mary Ann were not mentioned was due to Creator/TinaLouise (Ginger) threatening to walk if Mary-Ann was mentioned in the opening credits. Their character names were eventually squeezed into the final stanza.
86* ''Series/LazyTown'''s Sportacus: "I'd better go practice my move! I don't want to disappoint Stephanie... or anyone else."
87* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' had a recurring riff parodying the TropeNamer whenever the actor who played the Professor first showed up in a movie, one of the riffers would respond "And what's this "And the Rest" crap?"
88[[/folder]]
89
90[[folder:Music]]
91* Music/{{Donovan}} does this with his list of "the gods" in his song Atlantis. He lists "The Poet, The Physician, The Farmer, The Scientist, The Magician, and the other so-called gods of our legends". Keep in mind the previous line mentions ''twelve'' such gods, so less than half get a specific mention.
92[[/folder]]
93
94[[folder:Video Games]]
95* In ''VideoGame/SandsOfDestruction'', Kyrie has a tendency to think of [[LoveInterest Morte]] first and the rest of the world (including his TrueCompanions) second. For example, after Kyrie [[spoiler:is resurrected at the Temple of Light]], he's overjoyed to see Morte and with the fact that she's gone through such trouble to find him again. It takes a few moments before he realizes the rest of the team is there, too, and then he thanks them as a group.
96* ''VideoGame/ShadysPoopong'': 22nd Anniversary Edition has this in reverse; The Announcer calls everyone in the credits idiots, and then segregates himself from the others saying "plus your suave announcer".
97* It happens to Luigi all across the board in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld''. If Luigi defeats a castle, the FlavorText still credits ''Mario'' as the one who did it. And, even if it's Luigi who defeats Bowser and saves Princess Peach, the congratulations screen explicitly mentions everyone ''except'' him. [[DudeWheresMyRespect No wonder the poor guy is self-conscious]]. If nothing else, he at least gets [[ThrowTheDogABone a kiss on the cheek for his efforts]].
98-->''Mario's'' adventure is over. Mario, the Princess, Yoshi, ''and his friends'' are going to take a vacation.
99[[/folder]]
100
101[[folder:Web Videos]]
102* ''WebVideo/MicTheSnare'' refers to the band Music/{{Oasis}} as "Liam and Noel Gallagher, plus three other mates" in the Oasis Deep Discog Dive episode.
103* At one point in ''WebVideo/TalesFromMyDDCampaign'', the party discovers that there's a bounty on them: "10,000 gold for the head of the Orcslayer, and 5,000 gold for the rest."
104* ''LetsPlay/VanossGamingAndCompany'': At the start of this ''Golf It'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXdeKYZ0Ggc session,]] Terroriser asks Google if it knows who he and his YouTuber friends are. The results do not please him. What's more, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJKIAJFahVk Vanoss's view of the session]] literally has Terroriser's video description link listed as "And Others:".
105-->'''Terroriser:''' Hey Google, who is the Vanoss Crew?\
106'''Google:''' According to the website Website/{{Wikipedia}}, they say, Vanoss Gaming's crew has changed a lot over the years. The members include [=H2O=] Delirious...\
107'''Terroriser:''' ''(Interrupts)'' Watch, it doesn't have me. ''('''Google''' mentions Mini Ladd)''\
108'''Google:''' ...I AM WILDCAT, LetsPlay/DaithiDeNogla, Lui Calibre, [=BigJigglyPanda=], [=FourZeroSeven=], and others.\
109'''Terroriser:''' ''FUCK OFF!!!''
110[[/folder]]
111
112[[folder:Web Comics]]
113* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', the comic [[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2014-05-28 showing]] the round one pairings of the card game tournament ends with a panel that says "and other pairings nobody cares about!". The reference link for the first appearances of the (then) insignificant characters in TheRant even uses the trope name to refer to them. Ironically, the then unnamed character on the right of the final panel (Sam) later became a supporting character in a relationship with Sarah and has more appearances than 3 of the featured characters while the unnamed featured character remained unnamed and had a total of 6 appearances.
114* In a ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'' cover that [[https://www.kevinandkell.com/2014/kk1109.html parodied]] the album [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheap_Thrills_(Big_Brother_and_the_Holding_Company_album) Cheap Thrills]] by Big Brother and the Holding Company, many of the (then) main characters got their own panel, while many of the (then) minor characters were relegated to one panel titled 'and the rest!'. (Ironically, one of those characters is Fenton, who has been upgraded to main cast with his marriage to Lindesfarne, while a few of the main characters featured have been written out.)
115[[/folder]]
116
117[[folder:Western Animation]]
118* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'':
119** In the episode where Fry, Leela and Bender form the crime-fighting trio of Captain Yesterday, Clobberella and Superking. A snippet of their theme tune:
120--->''Go, go, go, New Justice Team,\
121Fighting justice is their quest,\
122Superking, Clobberella, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and all the rest]].''
123** Done in the episode "Rebirth", [[spoiler:when everyone is being birthed from the birthing machine]]. Whilst several characters come out one at a time and are announced by name, [=LaBarbara=], Kif, and Scruffy all emerge in a heap, and are referred to as "the rest".
124* In ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'', Orel has three friends hanging around him: Doughy, Tommy and ... a third unnamed kid. At first (in "Loyalty"), Doughy just refers to the kid as "him." Later on in the episode, Clay refers to the kids as "Doughy, Tommy and the gang." Even in the prequel 'Beforel Orel' he's cut off before he can introduce himself. WordOfGod says it's Billy.
125* Done unintentionally in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "Party Pooped" where it's Pinkie Pie who is solely responsible for impressing the Yak delegates (everyone else's efforts failed miserably and nearly [[DisproportionateRetribution started a war]]). Princess Celestia pops in at the end and congratulates Twilight and "her friends":
126-->'''Princess Celestia:''' I am very impressed, princess.\
127'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Heh. Just doing my best to spread friendship.\
128'''Princess Celestia:''' And you did a wonderful job of it. You and your friends.
129* ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'' does this in the OpeningNarration: "Starring that supersonic speedster, Rocket J. Squirrel, with his pal Bullwinkle the Moose... and a host of others."
130* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
131** In the "Treehouse of Horror VIII" story "The Homega Man", Homer believes he's the last man alive, mourns each member of the "main" family and then laments the loss of "and all the rest", which includes the pets, Maggie and the TV.
132** In "Eight Misbehavin'," Apu and Manjula's octuplets are made the stars of a show called "Octopia" at the Springfield Zoo. Only four of the babies (Anoop, Poonam, Sandeep, Gheet) are explicitly given stage character names and are introduced to the audience. The others (Sashi, Pria, Uma, Nabenbu) are introduced as "And the rest".
133** Lampshaded in "Homer the Heretic" with an exchange near the end:
134--->'''Rev. Lovejoy:''' No, Homer... God didn't burn your house down, but he was working in the hearts of your friends, be they Christian, ''[pan to Flanders]'' Jew, ''[pan to Krusty]'' or... ''[pan to Apu]'' miscellaneous.\
135'''Apu:''' Hindu. There are seven hundred million of us.\
136'''Rev. Lovejoy:''' Aww, that's super.
137** In "Mayored to the Mob", Creator/MarkHamill sings a parody of the Theatre/GuysAndDolls' song "Luck Be a Lady":
138--->'''Mark Hamill:''' Luke be a Jedi tonight! Just be a Jedi tonight! Do it for Yoda, while we serve our guests a soda, uh, and do it for Chewie, and the Ewoks... and all the other puppets ... Luke be a Jedi tonight!!!
139* In the ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episode "[=SpongeBob=] Meets the Strangler," [=SpongeBob=] has a massive house party with everyone in town. As the guests leave, [=SpongeBob=] bids farewell to each named character before bidding farewell to "the rest." A ton of nameless background fish characters then rush out of the house.

142[[folder:Real Life]]
143* Science journals often shorten the list of a paper's authors to the first X names (usually 1, 3 or 6, depending on the journal's citation style), adding ''[[GratuitousLatin et al]]'' (''et alia'', meaning "and others"). [[https://me.me/i/when-you-spend-years-working-on-a-study-only-to-26d744c3c31b47b0a976d42c2bcd8c1c Frustration]] is a common reaction to this.
