{{examples}}
== Advertising ==
* One of the commercials during the awfully misguided "Hare Jordan" era had Michael Jordan saying "That's all, folks" with Porky Pig indignantly retorting, "Hey, that's my line!"
* There was a "Chicken of the Sea" tuna commercial where some kids shout the name of the product at the moment the animated mermaid has spoken it in all previous ads; she pouts and can be heard muttering, "''I'' was supposed to say that!"
▲== Anime & Manga ==
▲* ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei|Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei]]''
** Kafuka stole Itoshiki-sensei's catchphrase "I'm in despair!" Having his catchphrase stolen becomes a running gag in season two. Though, [[Subverted Trope|he tends to take it pretty well]].
** A variation also occurs in the [[Hot Springs Episode]], after the barrier between the men's and the women's halves falls down. Itoshiki-sensei shrieks and covers himself and one of the girls says, "That should be our reaction."
Line 29 ⟶ 28:
** In the ''[[Pokémon Special]]'' magna, Red gets the better of Blue and brags about having two gym badges in the process. Blue steals the badges shortly afterward. Later, Red infiltrates Team Rocket while they're pursuing Blue. She brags about "her" two gym badges, leaving Red unhappy that the badges weren't the ''only'' things stolen.
* In one chapter of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', Mars decides that she's going to do the [[In the Name of the Moon]] speech instead. She ''does'' tweak it, though... "Wearing high heels, I will punish you!" She has used "In the name of Mars, I will chastise you!" as well, and the other Senshi have their own version they use occasionally.
* Yuuichi in ''[[Kanon]]'' occasionally steals Ayu's "Uguu~" to mock her. It usually escalates into an all-out [[Verbal Tic]] war.
* ''[[Bleach]]'', at least in the scanslations, uses this so often that you read it more than the phrases they're supposedly copying. "That's my line" is a [[Japanese Stock Phrases|Japanese stock phrase]], too, and the line doesn't have to be a [[Catch Phrase]].
* In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh GX]]'' dub, Alexis once said "Get your game on" before a game with Aster, right before Jaden showed up.
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|Yu-Gi-Oh!
* ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'' has three [[Catch Phrase]] thefts, without being retorted:
** A mook, after getting finger-stabbed by Kenshiro, is "brainwashed" to tell him where the man they're looking for is being held prisoner. He promptly breaks down, fearing execution. But Rei assures him that he's not gonna get executed. When asked why, he steals Kenshiro's [[Catch Phrase]] "You're already dead", and the rest you know. Being [[The Stoic]] he is, Kenshiro obviously does not comment on it.
** In the middle of battle, where there's no Kenshiro (only Rei, Mamiya and... Bart. Yeah, him), a [[Mook]] attacks Bart. For once the kid gets a bit "brave" and hits the mook on the face with a "WHAAA-CHAA!!" yell. And then he steals Kenshiro's [[Catch Phrase]] "You're already dead". The mook, thinking that [[Your Head Asplode|his head is going to asplode]], asks "How many seconds?". Bart replies "3 seconds!" and counts to 3... The mook gets scared shitless, but after the countdown... he realizes nothing happened and Bart has already run off.
** A [[Mook]] who claims to know Hokuto Shinken attacks Kenshiro, does a ''really'' lame-looking move (he holds his thumbs against Kenshiro's temples), and declares "You're already dead!" Kenshiro asks how many seconds, the mook counts down from ten... and then [[Epic Fail|his own head blows up]] due to a previous [[Offhand Backhand]] from Kenshiro. You do ''not'' screw with the man.
* Sōsuke says this during the [[Curb Stomp Battle]] at the end of ''[[Full Metal Panic the Second Raid]]'', when the A.I. of his [[Humongous Mecha]] announces how many enemies are remaining. This, and the fact that both Sōsuke and the AI announce the next enemy's defeat in unison, is used to indicate that Sōsuke is now working with his mecha instead of resenting it.
* In ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'', Kenshin plays this straight with Saitou. This is almost a kind of subversion, as instead of trying to be funny, this moment is terrifying; it's when Kenshin snaps.
{{quote|
'''Kenshin:''' I think you've got it wrong. Those are MY words. }}
* Used near the end of ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]'''s 14th episode.
{{quote|
'''Nuriko:''' Uh, I thought that was supposed to be our line. }}
* ''[[Inuyasha|Inu Yasha]]'' [
{{quote|
'''Inu-Yasha:''' That's my line. }}
* In ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', not exactly a catchphrase, but something that [[Tsundere|England]] would probably say is said by America. They are both stranded on an island.
{{quote|
'''England:''' I-I beg your pardon?! That's ''my'' line! }}
* ''[[They Are My Noble Masters]]''
** In a battle of [[Shout-Out
** Kojyuuro also steals another one of Domon's lines: "Those who interfere with others' love... should be kicked by a horse straight to hell!" {{spoiler|If you don't remember this line in ''G Gundam'', Domon says it as he defeats Wong Yunfat for the last time, with Fu'unsaiki's help.}}
* Lampshaded in ''[[Excel Saga (anime)|Excel Saga]]'' when {{spoiler|Nabeshin is fighting the army commando-turned-random-helicopter. Nabeshin steals what his enemy was going to say, and when it is pointed out, he yells "I'm the director, so I get all the best lines!"}}.
* In ''[[
* ''[[Ranma ½
{{quote|
'''[[Covert Pervert|Akane:]]''' Hey! That's ''my'' line!
'''Ranma:''' Is this what I get for bein' nice?!
'''Akane:''' That's my line!
'''Ryōga:''' Huh?! What're you doing here?
'''Ranma:''' That's my line! }}
* In the ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' anime, Happy the talking cat loves to tease his human companions (especially Lucy) about any [[Ship Tease|hint of romance]]. Then, in the "Oración Seis" arc, he meets a female cat of his species, and it's [[Love At First Sight]]. Lucy doesn't miss the opportunity to tease him back, to which Happy responds, "How dare you steal my lines!"
Line 71 ⟶ 70:
== Comic Strips ==
* This trope appears once in a ''Cul de Sac'' strip, when Petey is being stubborn with his mom about something:
{{quote|
"Hey, that's ''my'' line!" }}
Line 78 ⟶ 77:
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]''
** Episode 17:
{{quote|
'''Bandit Keith:''' Hey, that's ''my'' joke! It only works when I say "in America." It loses all meaning when you say it. }}
** And then there's Joey trying to coin "[[Brooklyn Rage]]" as a catchphrase, only for Yugi to shoot it down -- [[Hypocritical Humor|but then use "Egyptian Rage" himself.]]
Line 90 ⟶ 89:
== Films -- Live-Action ==
* ''[[Scooby Doo]]: [[The Movie]]'':
{{quote|
'''Fred:''' Hey, he stole [[Buffy-Speak|the thing that I say]]! }}
Line 96 ⟶ 95:
== Literature ==
* ''[[Animorphs]]''
** It sometimes happens that another character (usually Marco) shouts the words [[Catch Phrase|"Let's do it!"]] instead of [[Action Girl|Rachel]].
** Occasionally, no one would say it, prompting someone (usually Marco) to go "Rachel? We're waiting." or something to that effect.
Line 102 ⟶ 101:
== Live-Action TV ==
* In ''[[The Office]]'' (US) episode ''The Injury'', when Dwight is taken to the hospital for a concussion:
{{quote|
'''Dwight:''' That's what she said.
'''Michael:''' That's my joke, damnit Dwight. }}
* In the ''[[Sledge Hammer!]]'' episode where he's got [[Humphrey Bogart]] as a [[Spirit Advisor]]: Sledge says "Here's looking at you, kid!", and Bogey answers... guess what.
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''
** Only tenuously connected to this trope, but funny all the same: In the musical episode, the duet between Xander and Anya has one part where the two switch off verses (funnier since at this point the verses are essentially insulting each other); however, Anya jumps in at Xander's cue (still rhyming perfectly) with "His eyes are beady!" causing him to sing, "This is ''my'' verse, hello?!" The DVD extra has a karaoke cut suitably named that line.
** In the episode "Who Are You?":
{{quote|
'''Faith-in-Buffy's-body:''' Well, we certainly don't want to cut into that seven minutes.
'''Anya:''' Hey!
'''Xander:''' ''(to Anya)'' I believe that's my "hey". ''(to Faith)'' ''Hey!'' }}
* In ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]]'', the [[Kamen Rider Hibiki|Hibiki's]] World arc has Kaitou (who got [[A Day in the Limelight]]) steal Tsukasa's usual [[World of Cardboard Speech]], to which Tsukasa responds "You're stealing my lines!". Kaitou then goes on to complete the theft by giving an altered version of Tsukasa's [[Catch Phrase]]:
{{quote|
* ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody]]'': In the Hollywood episode, Cody gets so nervous when he forgets his line, that the next time he says his line AND Zack's, which he notes.
* In ''[[Top Gear]]'', the presenters fight over who gets to use the phrase "Back to the studio".
Line 124 ⟶ 123:
== Video Games ==
* In ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'', this happens if {{spoiler|Gilgamesh}} comes to assist you in the fight against Necrophobe.
{{quote|
'''{{spoiler|Gilgamesh}}:''' ''(snort)'' I believe that's MY line!!! }}
* Done once in ''[[Sonic Heroes]]''.
{{quote|
'''Sonic:''' Hey, that's my line! }}
* ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]''
** A line that is, in itself, a reference to ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', which makes sense: Lloyd was raised by a Dwarf. Note that it is never used after that point:
{{quote|
'''Genis:''' Hey, you copied Lloyd.
'''Lloyd:''' Now that I've heard someone else say it, it sounds kinda arrogant. }}
** Another case (Later in the game, and during a sidequest):
{{quote|
'''Lloyd:''' Hey! That's My Line. }}
* In one of the battle result dialogues in ''[[Digimon World Data Squad]]'', Yoshino says this when her partner Digimon Lalamon uses her catch phrase, "This is the worst!"
Line 144 ⟶ 143:
* ''[[Phoenix Wright]]''
** In ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney|Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney]]'', Gumshoe is annoyed when Maya copies his [[Verbal Tic]]: 'you can't say pal, pal! That's MY [[Charm Point|endearing character trait]]!'
** And in ''[[Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth|Investigations]]'', conversation with [[Genki Girl|Kay]] will sometimes lead to Edgeworth telling her: "If you're going to steal anything, at least [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|keep your hands off my lines]]!"
== Web Animation ==
* Done in a ''[[Homestar Runner]]'' Halloween cartoon:
{{quote|
'''Bubs:''' Well, a little eye of newt, some toe of frog. Baby, you got a witches' brew goin'.
'''Homestar:''' Hey, that's my line! }}
* ''[[Arby 'n' the Chief]]'': Chief has this exchange with an intoxicated Arbiter for stealing his use of LOL.
{{quote|
'''Chief:'''
'''Arbiter:''' LOL, I remember Chief.
'''Chief:''' [[Hypocritical Humor|LOL. ur so silly.]]
'''Arbitur:''' I know, LOL.
'''Chief:''' LOL }}
Line 173 ⟶ 172:
* ''[[Futurama]]''
** When Zoidberg's contemporary iHawk uses a joke Zoidberg had told before (and was much better received), Zoidberg freaked out and threatened to kill him, because "That's my joke!"
** That whole ''Futurama'' episode is a parody of a ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|Mash]]'' episode in which BJ started taking credit for a joke Hawkeye's father told him. It seemed to bug Hawkeye more that BJ hadn't laughed when he first heard the joke than it did that he stole it.
* In ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', Lisa uses several of Bart's [[Catch Phrase
* Seen in ''[[Dudley Do-Right]]'', after Dudley has been tricked into letting Snidley tie his finger to the railroad tracks for the second time in about two minutes:
{{quote|
'''Snidely:''' Hey, that's my line! }}
* ''[[
* Two examples from the same episode of ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man]]'':
{{quote|
'''Black Cat:''' My kitty-sense is ''purring''... }}
:: Spidey himself rarely, if ever, gets to finish the line, which is ''internal'' dialogue in most incarnations. [[Fridge Logic|How has either of them heard it]]?
* ''Where's Wally'' (Waldo if you live across the pond) has [[Evil Twin|Odlaw]] turn up too late to follow the protagonist and says the [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|narrator's catchphrase]] "Where's Wally?", as a result the narrator invokes this trope.
* From the ''[[South Park]]'' episode "The Red Badge of Gayness":
{{quote|
'''Stan's Grandpa:''' You bastards!
'''Kyle:''' Hey! }}
* Slappy Squirrel in ''[[Animaniacs]]'' always says "Now, ''that's'' comedy!" at the end of her every cartoon. In one episode, however, her nephew steals her catchphrase, at which she says, "You're adorable... but that's ''my'' line."
Line 192 ⟶ 191:
* ''[[Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law]]''
** During an episode, the Deadly Duplicator thinks about how he's going to "Eliminate" Birdman. X appears beside him, and tells him to get his own thing.
** Reversed during the [[Grand Finale]], as X excitedly yells, "This is good, this is good!" DD tells him, "Hey, that's my line."
* One episode of ''[[Captain Planet and the Planeteers]]'' has the heroes team up with their future counterparts. Captain Planet complains when the future captain says, "The power is yours!"
* At the end of an episode of ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'', the narrator protests that a TV reporter is using his usual closing lines, "So once again, the day is saved, thanks to the Powerpuff Girls," and shows him how it's done.
* In ''[[Kim Possible]]: [[The Movie|So The Drama]]'', when Kim and Ron are held hostage in Drakken's lair (after Kim discovered that her new beau Eric was [[The Mole]]):
{{quote|
'''Kim:''' I--I've got nothing.
'''Ron:''' Okay, first that's my line, and second that's quitter talk! }}
* Shelly once used [[Jabberjaw]]'s catchphrase. Jabberjaw threatened to sue her for that.
