The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at the Trope Launch Pad.
A form of Insult Backfire; if it's sufficiently eyebrow-raising it might double as an Armor-Piercing Response
See also Blunt "Yes", which is similar: "Looking after sick animals? What, were the paid intern positions at the children's cancer ward full?" "I knew I should have gotten my application in earlier, but I was out of town helping rebuild houses after a flood in the neighboring county."

A side-character is introduced, and for whatever reason a main character is jealous.
The main character tries to undermine the new character, and it reveals an opportunity for the new character to reveal another great fact about themselves
"I spent the summer building wells" "Was that funded by daddy?" "No i actually spent the previous year fund raising by looking after sick animals"
