The "World's Smallest Violin" expression was first used when a T. Rex first played it for the rest of the dinosaurs when they were facing extinction. Of course, the T. Rex, being the king of all Dinosaurs, thought this would not effect him so he (archeologists assume male due to enlarged sarcasm gland perfectly fossilized) proceeded to play, what to him was the world's smallest violin. By today's standards this violin was a full size 4/4 violin but to a T. Rex this was tiny. While scale played a huge importance here and continues to do so when modern humans play the smallest violin for their purposes, this was the first instance of: "This is the world's smallest violin I am playing for you."

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
