| Additional Information | The phrase “why try harder? I’m number 1” is often used to express confidence or pride in oneself. It can also be used to indicate that one is the best at something or that they are in first place. "I'm #1 so why try harder" is a more well-known variation of the phrase that was popularized by a photograph of an obese young man dressed in a T-shirt bearing the phrase while holding a cigarette in his left hand. The photograph was taken at the 1983 Fat People's Festival in Danville, Virginia, and was famously used as the primary cover art for the second studio album by English musician, DJ, and records producer Fatboy Slim (1963-), titled You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby. |
