Club Stub: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* In ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'', the Nekomi Institute of Technology Motor Club consists of Tamiya and Otaki, until Keiichi shows up. These two skirt the edges of the [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] trope, until one of them starts going after the daughter of the university president.

* In ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi]]'', the Meiritsu University's photography club is Suzuki and Sato, until Kaoru gets shanghaied just prior to the start of the show.

* In ''[[GA Geijutsuka Art Design Class]]'', this is what happened to the Art Club. Due to {{spoiler|a mishap when the [[Cloudcuckoolander]] president promoted the club the previous year}}, the club now only has three members. [[Downplayed]] in that while the club was eventually saved by merging with Campus Environment Club, the other club only have ''one'' member—that other club can't be disbanded because it provided volunteers to clean the school campus, and Sasamoto-sensei [[Exploited]] this to use it as a "shell" to acquire other clubs so that she can have a [[Must Have Nicotine|smoking room]].

* The titular club in ''[[Genshiken]]'' has a few members at the start, but arguably qualifies for this trope by dint of their sheer laziness (as the story makes clear later).

 

* [[Monty Python]]'s ''[[Life of Brian]]'' features a terrorist group that has split into [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb_qHP7VaZE several very small and confusingly similarly named groups].

He's over there. }}

 

* ''[[Harry Potter]]'': The Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare, of course.{{context}}

 

* The "I Hate Rachel Greene Club" from ''[[Friends]]'' consisted solely of Brad Pitt and Ross.

* The pilot of ''[[Glee]]'' begins with the titular club being a Club of Two before the adult hero steps in to get it turned around.

* The "End Hunger Now" club (at first with just one member) in [[A.N.T. Farm]] was founded by Cameron so that he could get school funds to spend on chicken wings for himself. Fletcher blackmails him into letting him join the club by threatening to reveal the scam. Later, Principal Skidmore comes into the room, guesses immediately what is going on, and decides to join as well. At the end of the episode Olive asks about joining, but is chased off by the other three.

 

 

* In the "Real Life, Real Heart" stage of ''[[Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan]] 2'', the protagonist Yuri discovers that the famous choir club at her new high school has dwindled down to only the president, Kaoruko, who promptly begs her to help get new members and help them win a singing contest before the club gets shut down.

* ''[[Mana Khemia]]'': It's difficult to notice, since he gains two members at once, but the only one aside from Flay is a lone beastgirl. {{spoiler|Unless you want to count a certain ghost, Pamela...}} His club is about to be disbanded before they show up.

* In ''[[Cherry Tree High Comedy Club]]'', protagonist Miley and her roommate Harriet (who [[Press-Ganged|joined "unofficially"]]) are the only two members of the eponymous club. Miley's goal is to find at least three more members before the end of April to make the club official.

 

* In the ''[[X-Change]]'' H-Games, the chemistry club only ever consists of two or three people depending on the game.

* In ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]'', during Shizune's route Hisao discovers that "Shizune and Misha are the student council. The ''whole'' student council."

* In ''[[Tsukihime]]'', Ciel is the president and sole member of the Tea Ceremony Club.

 

 

* In the ''[[Arthur (animation)|Arthur]]'' episode, "My Club Rules" six start out in the Parade Float Club, but due to Wacky Hijinks everyone ends up in a club of one. They reband at the end showing the [[Power of Friendship]].

** Another ''Arthur'' episode: "Do You Speak Geroge?" Muffy & Francine make up their own language, Buster & Arthur make up their own language, etc. Finally they decide it's too confusing and all go back to English (or whatever the show is dubbed into in international markets).

* In ''[[Camp Lazlo]]'', Edward forms an anti-Lazlo club, and tells Lazlo that he belongs in "the Nothing Club". So Lazlo goes and forms the Nothing Club, and little by little all the others start joining him, while Edward's club dwindles down to just himself, since he's [[Grumpy Bear|the only one who actually hates Lazlo.]]

 

* In a [[Made for TV Movie]] about the origin of the [[wikipedia:Guardian Angels|Guardian Angels]] I saw many many years ago they started as a club of two, who were joined by a couple of other people who had a club of two of their own doing basically the same thing. The "other club" which wanted to join with the proto-Guardians called themselves the "Magnificent 13" to make people think there were more people in the group than there were. (Details may be hazy, like I said it's been many many years.)

* Often school clubs based on once popular activities and fads will fade out as older members graduate and incoming freshmen don't want to join. So even though in the past the club might have had dozens of members it is now just a Club Stub populated by a couple die-hards
