Can overlap with StockYuck, IncrediblyLameFun, StylisticSuck, EpicFail, LowCountGag, 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 everyone ''else'' 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. Compare OnlyOneWhoLikesSpam for the food equivalent.

* ''Series/{{Frasier}}:'' It's often shown Frasier is the only one who enjoys what he enjoys. At one point he throws a Halloween party and even Niles, usually every bit as stuffy as he, isn't enjoying it. All the other people Fras invited came down with sudden last minute "illness". Given Frasier's idea of a fun Halloween night apparently involved discussing the Human Genome Project, it's not hard to see why.

* ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'': When the White Rabbit introduces the Queen of Hearts at the croquet match, the spectators loudly cheer. But when he introduces the diminutive King, we hear only one spectator shouting, "Hooray!".
** Given this [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen queen,]] it might be [[HappinessIsMandatory another trope]] at play.

** In "The One Where Ross Got High", Rachel turns over two pages in her cookbook and mixes a traditional British trifle with a shepherd's pie. Despite being the TropeNamer for ItTastesLikeFeet, [[BigEater Joey]] actually likes it, even helping himself to everybody else's uneaten portions.

This is nearly always PlayedForLaughs and ''usually'' says something about the sole enjoyer in question. Maybe they're very optimistic, [[CloudCuckoolander weird]] or both. They may also be [[DamnedByAFoolsPraise stupid, or at least considered as such by the rest of the cast.]] If it's a joke, maybe they're [[TheHyena easily amused]] or have a peculiar sense of humour. If it's food, they might be an alien or a pet or whatever with a different palate from the average human, or possibly just a human [[ExtremeOmnivore who eats weird stuff]] (it might also serve to demonstrate how bad a chef the cook is or that the cook [[CordonBleughChef likes to experiment]]). If it's an outdoor activity, maybe they're a NatureLover.

** While Prince Akeem seems to enjoy posing as a blue collared immigrant laborer, his manservant, Semi, constantly complains as to how men of their social class have to do tasks such as washing dishes and emptying trash cans.

** In "The One Where Ross Got High", Rachel turns over two pages in her cookbook and mixes a traditional British trifle with a shepherd's pie. Despite being the TropeNamer for ItTastesLikeFeet, Joey actually likes it.
--->'''Joey:''' Custard: good. Jam: good. Meat: ''good''.

** In an episode of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', Riker makes his friends scrambled eggs using eggs he got [[WeirdWorldWeirdFood from an alien planet]]. Most of the people present find the results disgusting, only Worf (who both has a [[BigEater big appetite]] and is a Klingon) likes them. There's a little fridge brilliance in the scene once one remembers that Riker likes Klingon food.

* ''Radio/CabinPressure:'' On a long-haul flight over Russia, Arthur and Martin are bored out of their minds, but reject an equally bored Carolyn's suggestion of letting [[{{Manchild}} Arthur]] play "I, Spy", because his choices are terrible. Arthur figures it would make the boredom actually ''fatal''. [[spoiler:Sadly, she eventually gives in.]]
