* ''[[Slam Dunk]]'': "Sakuragi Hanamichi! Mito Youhei! And... others." The speaker is promptly beaten up by the 'others', Noma, Ohkusu and Takamiya, who then introduce themselves.

* In ''[[Pani Poni Dash!]]'':

* In [[Ocean's Eleven|Ocean's Twelve]], Casey Affleck's character goes around a rather long table filled with people, lovingly and eloquently thanking each and every one of them by name, from distant cousins to minor acquaintances. The trope is evoked when he gets to the only person left unthanked; his ''brother''.

 

* ''[[More Information Than You Require]]'' On subjects as Diverse As: [[Long List|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'''.

 

* The [[Trope Namer]] example is the first-season opening [[Theme Song]] of ''[[Gilligan's Island]]'', which listed each character, but then lumped [[The Professor]] 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. Bob Denver (Gilligan), who had top billing, actually had a clause in his contract that let him have his credit wherever he wanted it; he threatened to demand his billing be ''after'' those two if they weren't moved to the [[Opening Credits]].

* ''[[LazyTown]]'''s Sportacus: "I'd better go practice my move! I don't want to disappoint Stephanie...or anyone else."

** 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 refered to as 'the rest'.

* In one ''[[The Simpsons]]'' Treehouse of Horror episode, 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.

** Lampshaded in ''Homer the Heretic'' with an exchange near the end:

{{quote|'''Rev. Lovejoy:''' No Homer, God didn't burn your house down, but he was working in the hearts of your friends be they Christian, Jew, or... miscellaneous.

*** Another one was done on the cover of "Big Book of Bart Simpson", with Milhouse. He was not amused.

** Also [[Mark Hamill]] in the parody of [[Guys and Dolls]]' song "Luck Be a Lady":

* In the ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' episode "Spongebob meets the Strangler," Spongebob has a massive house party with everyone in town. As everyone leaves, Spongebob bids farewell to all of the principal/main support characters before bidding farewell to "the rest." A ton of nameless background characters then rush out of the house.
