In an RP I am in, whenever the main characters are addressed it usually ends up as "The Phantom Hawks and Mr. Dark", with Mr. Dark being my character. Subverted though because Mr. Dark really isn't in the Phantom Hawks; he just follows them around, interacts with them, and often gets caught in their adventures whenever he is not purposefully trying to be with them.
#87262
When this troper was a freshman, his English class was supposed to list the different "cliques" in our high school...Jocks, Preps, Goths, etc. This troper's group decided to put him in a clique of his own.
#87263
This troper's high school computer science teacher would regularly address the class as "Ladies, Gentlemen and [someone's name]".

#87267
Was in Music Club in highschool. Being the only male flute, the teacher regularly got our attention with "Okay, ladies-" "Hello!" "And Cameron.". I'm Cameron.
#87268
This Troper (Cathy) often hang out with three guys so I became the "...and Cathy." Also, in my Portuguese class, I'm the only non-Brazilian or Portuguese student, so the teacher and staff often say "So you, native speaker..." "Hey!" "...And Cathy."
#87269
A RunningGag in this troper's D&D campaign, where during every session's introduction the party is referred to as "our heroes", with the obligatory ChaoticEvil HeroicSociopath party member's name (and sometimes the name of the TeamPet too) tacked on as a concessionary afterthought. Once Inverted, with said sociopath's name ''first'', with "our heroes" following it.
#87270
This troper made the very same joke once, when I presented the party as "the brave adventurers, and Nelby", Nelby being the token kleptomaniac cowardly (the "wets his pants every other occasion" kind ok cowardice) rogue. Didn't became a RunningGag, but helped the player to establish his character as the most despicable member of the party (which, when you know the kind of things my players pull off, is quite an achievment).
#87271
This troper once wrote on a birthday card for a friend: "From the people who love you... and Sarah!"
#87272
When this troper was in his first year of high school, it was announced to the class that the hockey club was available to "Boys, girls... and Alfie". This was an obvious joke to make as Alfie was (and still is) completely mad, but rather than being insulted, he kept up the idea that he was something completely different by replying with the completely nonsensical "Wib Wib".
#87273
This troper basically lived this up until a few years ago. He was never really part of any particular group or clique, but (when he wasn't being an ostracized ButtMonkey in elementary and middle school) could sort of get along with some people from every group. So he ended up being the "
and Zoidberg" to any group he spent much of any time with.
#87274
A variation used with
this Troperette. I'm terrible with names, so my greetings are often to the lines of "Sarah!... And company."
#87275
Whenever I forget a few people in a group of people, I usually address them as "...And various people that I know."
#87276
This troper claims this particular trope as his own; At any point in time when he finds himself greeting a group of mixed gender, he will say, "Ladies... *Name of one of the guys* ." Though he supposes it's an inversion to insultingly imply inclusion rather than exclusion.
#87277
This troper has a teacher who uses this trope regularly. He'll say "Ladies, gentleman, and [name of a student]." Normally this would be insulting, but since he does it to a different student every day, it's just amusing.
#87278
This troper's housemate inverts this - he'll say "Ladies...* Name of female present* .", thus insulting as many people as possible.
#87279
This troper has a buddy in a band who during one show told a story about hanging out with the boys, and this troper, (a guy), and then later during the same show said it was good to see the girls on the dance floor; Jess, Sam, this troper.
#87280
Is that Sam a guy or a girl?
#87281
Spoken recently in robotics club: #QUOTE#'''Kyle:''' We're all friends here.\\ '''Andrew:''' Hey!\\ '''Kyle:''' Alright, friends and Andrew.
#87282
Um... wild guess, but would this Andrew happen to be a brown-haired high school sophomore with detailed plans for surviving a zombie attack, world domination, etc., who is also a walking encyclopedia?
#87283
And is he a hulking giant?
#87284
No, just tall and lankey and ME!!!

#87288
This troper's history teacher lives off of this trope, often beginning his lectures with, "Ladies, gentlemen... and Patricia," occasionally replacing Patricia's name with that of someone else who wasn't paying attention at the time.
#87289
Making ''everyone'' "
and Zoidberg" is a favorite of mine, often greeting the lunch table with "My adoring public! Also [name], [name], and [name]."
#87290
When this troper was asking a friend about what movies were popular at the movie theater he worked at, he told me that United 93 and R.V. were particularly popular for the weekend. I mentioned that it was an odd mix, and he said, "Well, one of them is about a disaster that affected millions of people, and the other is about some people on a plane."
#87291
This troper, Adam, has two brothers, Matthew and Peter. A friend of all of us had had a falling out with one of them, and not long after found himself introducing us to his cousin: "These are my two friends, Adam and Matthew, and this is Peter"...
#87292
This Troper's response to a quote stating that the cold war was "a final, all-out battle between Communistic Atheism and Christianity." was "So... on the one hand we have a poor long-haired revolutionary who said that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to be a good man, and on the other hand we have communism?"
#87293
Don't forget "if one of you has 2 coats and your brother has none you must give him you spare coat' (Actually St. Paul but still Christianity). Really, were it not for the whole Atheism thing Communism would be ''the'' Christian ethos.
#87294
It was a {{Running Gag}} by my teacher in my health class. "Alright boys and girls! And Zack." In any class that student was stuck in with that teacher, he was always treated like a {{Butt Monkey}} by him. It also runs in a few other groups at school calling a certain student an "it".
#87295
This Troper has become a frequent target of this among his friends as a RunningGag.
I hope.

This troper was the only girl in an otherwise all-male technology course back in the 7th grade. The teacher would always refer to us as "Gentlemen, and [Name]".
#87303
This troper actually invokes this quite a lot without thinking. Whilst talking to several friends, I invariably insult the lot and always suffix it with "and
KZX" due to him being the only one this troper truly respects.
#87304
Holy shit, are you Phantom Savage?!
#87305
This troper tends to do this whenever a person she dislikes is in the room with her friends. It tends to go like "Oh hey guys! ...and Carlos."

#87308
This troper delivered a presentation with his friend (Joe) in history that was (anonomously) peer assesed, one of the assements came back titled Sam(this troper) and Co. I have been calling Joe "and Co." ever since.
#87309
In this troper's high school, there are two main social groups, neither of which has this troper as a member. At lunch, he sits at a table filled with the others not part of that social group. We call ourselves
The Table, appropriately and ominously enough.
#87310
My quirky art teacher during junior high usually greeted the class with "People! people! And Clas." He had a minor feud with said student.
#87311
ThisTroper has read all the HarryPotter books. His two friends have read all of ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents and all of TheTwilightSaga, respectively. We're fans of well-written, creative and interesting literature...
and Twilight.
#87312
This troper's younger sister thought this troper's name was Guys when we were younger. When we were being called our parents would use the phrase "come on guys". I would respond and she didn't prompting my parents to tack on her name separately.
#87313
This Troper's best friend Will often serves as the {{Butt Monkey}} of our friend group, and is often affectionately referred to simply as 'it'. He really embraces being in a category of his own, anyway. #QUOTE#'''Will:''' *Does something unusual or amazing* \\ '''Nate:''' Why / How did you even do that?\\ '''Will:''' Because I'm Will _____.
#87314
Ironically, he's also the most popular and social member of our group as well.
#87315
This Troper has a vid up on YouTube that has HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys footage set to "I Won't Say I'm In Love". In the description, I wrote about how Iolaus gets love advice from some goddesses and Joxer.
#87316
This Troper sits with different people every lunchtime, depending on the day. This has caused her to become a guest of all groups and a member of none. It's kind of depressing. And they don't even tack on her name.
#87317
This troper, at a seder with some fellow students, once responded to one student's inappropriate joke with "Please, there are ladies present! ...And Sara."
#87318
This troper's history class was talking about feudalism, and this troper was chosen as a LADY. Among 6 other LORDS. "Where are my lords?" "And ladies!" "... And ladies." HilarityEnsued as this troper is a WrenchWench, making some guys (who enjoyed tempting fate) ask, "You're a lady?"
#87319
This troper, when talking about some place or class, has habit of saying: "All the cool guys will be/are there... And Paavo."
#87320
When this troper was in the Boy Scouts, his troop was split up into a half dozen or so older boys (16-17), and a swarm of younger ones. He was the only 14-year-old, and there were no 15-year-olds. So he always got And Zoidberged... and in the worst way. If the younger boys were doing it he was too old; if the older ones were, he was too young.
#87321
This troper was in a play where some of the characters had to sing a rendition of ''Respect'' by ArethaFranklin, and our pianist was trying to determine how the arrangement should be. "Fortunately we have a nice, high Soprano, a rich belty alto, a great tenor, and Jordan."
#87322
This troper has an interesting group of friends. Why? Because our names are Kassy, Kirstin, Kelly, Carissa, Courtney... and Steph.
#87324
This Troper had two good ones in HighSchool. In Sophmore Year, I was the only guy in my Yoga Class (obviously the rest were women). The teacher would call us over by going, "Hey Girls, and Hank". Two Years later, as a Senior, I'm in a group where me and one other guy even seem smart. He has said at least twice, "I'm surrounded by retards, and Hank."
#87325
This Troper, her brother and a few other kids used to be driven to school by a taxidriver in a minibus. (Since we lived outside of town and there were so few of us, there was no need for a regular school bus.) The driver was a very nice man, and he usually greeted us with our names every morning, but for some reason he always forgot mine. Which is why the greeting usually went something like this: "Good morning Daniel, Erik, Teddy and... Teddy's sister."
#87326
This troper's high school physics teacher (who loved to make fun of her students, especially the ones she really liked) said something that concluded "...Ladies and
Angelica." I asked her, "What's ''that'' supposed to mean?" She replied, "It can mean anything you want it to."
#87327
This Troper studies theatre, and there are some admittedly odd people (including this troper) in the class. However, one "Nicholas" has a very confusing sexual orientation, in that he has had a girlfriend in school and commonly refers to women as hot, but he's also really effeminate and quite creepy. My teacher referred to the class as "boys and girls, and Nicholas".
#87328
This Australian Troper was talking to another person on an AFL website. He congratulated my team on beating a team that was a threat to the finals. So I in turn congratulated his team on beating a talented team and the Brisbane Lions.
#87329
This troper has once adressed a group as 'ladies, guys, and Livys'. Not as mean as it sounds- Livy is genderqueer/Bifauxnen/something, and found it funny.
#87330
This Troper's ICT A Level class had one female student. As such, there were occasions when our teacher said, "Gentlemen...and Rachel" or variations. Normally, it was a rant about our lack of effort in the lessons, so it was justified.
#87331
This tropette hangs out with four chicks and a dude. When greeting them, it's usually: "Hey, girls! And Eric."
#87332
For an unintentional example, I was recently witness to a speech which began "Ladies and gentlemen, members of the Board of Education, and Mr. So-and-so..." Kind of a double example, both singling out Mr. So-and-so and implying that the [=BoE=] is made up of neither ladies nor gentlemen.
#87333
This Troper refers to any cash on hand as her presidents. Unless she has a ten, and then it's "My presidents and Mr. Hamilton."

running gag about how, when I have written a best seller, I will dedicate it to "all my friends... except X"
#87335
This Troper hangs out with and all-girl group during lunch... and Mitchell.
#87336

#87337
This troper's 4th edition Bard (name of Gregg Lifewalker) was part of an epic level campaign to kill Orcus. A later campaign took place a few centuries after Orcus fell. The way the story of how Orcus fell is often told begins like this: "Once, long ago, there were a group of brave and stalwart adventurers. And Gregg."
#87338
This troper was told to open a speech for Model UN with the words, "Greetings, Delegates and Capitalist Pigs" while he was representing North Korea on nuclear weapons. The rhetoric went downhill from there.
#87339
I once experienced a bit of an inversion. Once, when walking into Youth Group, I announced to everybody there "Greetings, lesser mortals!". One of my friends, Joshua, then cleared his throat. "Oh, and Joshua".
#87340
This troper played with this once. She was once put in a group to work on a Power Point Presentation. We were supposed to name our powerpoints with the names of each of the group members to make them easier to find, but the girls my group decided to be funny and named it "X, Y,
and the knuckleheads" Note that neither X nor Y was my name.
I pointed this out, and they quickly changed it. This is probably justified, though; I was absent the day the groups were assigned and the powerpoint was started.
#87341
For this troper's Youtube video of her school choir singing "The Rainbow Connection", she put for the description "My school choir and
Michael Verdi singing The Rainbow Connection from the Muppet Movie."
See for yourself. Speaking of which, he's wuite the fan of {{Futurama}}, EspeciallyZoidberg.
#87342
This troper did that in a couple of comedy sketches he wrote in high school based on some friends. "And now, ladies and gentlemen and Andrew and George..." The running gag being that Andrew and George -- annoying little brothers that they were -- weren't gentlemen, but they sure weren't ladies, so. Sometimes they weren't even people.
#87343
This troper regards the BlackEyedPeas in a similar manner: will.i.am's the leader, Fergie's the curvy female, apl.de.ap's the one who's Filipino like me, and Taboo's the other one.
#87345
An interesting variation happened in 4th grade for this troper, said by the class clown, which both insulted and avoided insulting people with the same And Zoidberg: "All girls are morons except Lisa here... and Patrick."
#87346
My friends...and Chris.
#87347
A running joke with a certain SurprisinglyImprovedSequel tabletop game, which split from the SoBadItsHorrible main game, and took "All the good players, and X".
#87348
This is from a Biology worksheet of mine: "This scientific study was conducted by a group of students (and Brandon)".
#87349
When this tropette was in school, I was commonly reffered to as "Eli's sister" by my brother's friends. So if someone was walking down the hall: "Hello Eli and Eli's sister!" Even his teachers did that. I know have a shirt that says "Hello, I'm Eli's sister".
#87350
In my DarkHeresy campaign I play a assassin who has the Unremarkable feat. This trope was called by name almost every session. Typically as "Sister Alpha and Brother Markus of the Imperial Inquisition are here to see you sir... and Vorden the accountant." Best part? I got the most kills AND was the most intimidating of all of the characters.
#87351
As a child, this troper was in a choir at church from a young age. As I got older, all of the other boys gradually dropped out. To make matters worse, the teacher/director was also a teacher at an all-girls school, so she often forgot she was teaching one boy. Thus, this frequent call: "Ladies... and Rob." I left not too much longer, in part because I was sick of that.
#87352
This troper's bisexual friend complained that she was "only attracted to people with incompatible orientations... and Jason."
#87353
With my friends, it "and Tearahk", mainly because Tearahk has a habit of being the odd man out. Also, an inversion: #QUOTE#
Jake: Greetings, being of lesser intelect! #QUOTE#
Tearahk: Hey! #QUOTE# Jake: Oh, that's right. And David. #QUOTE#
David: Yo. #QUOTE# Tearahk: ''Hey!''
#87354
This troper experienced a variation in history class. The teacher was addressing a group of boys who were doing an assignment together to work more quietly among themselves, using the word "gentlemen." There was a
girl sitting behind the group, not working with them, and, as she thought the teacher was for some reason including her in his statement, said, "Hey, you should say ''''''ladies'''''' and gentlemen, 'cause I'm no gentleman." I overheard her say this, and stealthily whispered to my friend, "Yeah, but she's not a lady, either."
#87355
This (female) troper was talking with a few friends at the start of a small assembly senior year, and to quiet us the teachers went "Ladies...and Joe." A joke or two was made about Joe being one of the ladies. It got funnier when gender-appropriate clothing was mentioned a minute later and one of the girls went "Yeah, no skirts, Joe."
#87356
At my high school, we got a German exchange student, and he seemed to really enjoy tagging along with the band wherever we went. I mean, riding the bus with the bandos. Whenever we took attendance, he would always end up plopped at the end of the list, and his name would be called in a fashion like this. "...and Yannick!" "Here."
#87357
I have two examples of this. One uses me as the Zoidberg: at lunch at school, I usually sit at a table consisting of 7 to 10 girls (I'm a guy, FYI), with one or two guys usually coming over halfway through to sit. When they do, they'll sometimes say "Hello girls. Troper." Sometimes they'll just turn it into an insult by not adding the "Troper" to it.
#87358
The second example happened once during a drama course. I had met about four or five people, and we usually hung out the few minutes before the course started. When I walked in, the group was assembled, along with my best friend. So I walked up and said "Hey, awesome people! And *best friend*!" Note that this was a joke - me and my best friend have sort of a RunningGag of treating each other like crap, but in a fun way - so we all laughed over it; it wasn't an insult or anything.
#87359
This troper loves to refer people in this fashion.
#87360
At this troper's school, a teacher said something along the lines of 'Girls, boys and Tyson'. It was a slip of the tongue, but MemeticMutation among the students involving Tyson's alleged lack of gender when this troper pointed it out.
#87361
My crush once began talking about what he'd do if he suddenly had a lot of money, which included the phrase, "I'd take all of my friends to Japan. And you too, PenelopeB, if you wanted to come." While I know he respects me a lot, hearing him indirectly state he doesn't consider me a friend was
a lot of fun.
#87362
This Troper's workplace is overwhelmingly female dominated.He gets a lot of «Hey Girls...... and (Troper)»
