Some characters will occasionally utter this phrase. They're usually people who decide to do something their subordinates failed to do on their behalf.

== Live-Action TV ==
* ''[[Power Rangers Zeo]]'': After so many monsters failed to defeat the Rangers, King Mondo decided to destroy them by himself. There was a reason the episode where he did it was titled "Mondo's Last Stand", namely {{spoiler|[[Lying Creator|a lying writer]].}}
== Western Animation ==
* Dick Dastardly occasionally invoked this trope in ''[[Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines]]''.
* [[George of the Jungle|Baron Otto Matic]] twisted the trope in a Tom Slick episode where he entered his lackey Clutcher in a blimp race. As the Baron explained, if you want something right to go wrong, do it yourself.
* ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'' episode "The Pizza Patrol" featured a pizza parlor that featured the [[Thirty Minutes or It's Free]] policy. After Garfield tricked the delivery boys into missing the deadline every time one of them had to deliver a pizza, the pizza parlor's owner tried to deliver it by himself.
** In another episode, local mailman [[Meaningful Name|Herman Post]] was fired and his former boss, not able to find a mailman willing to take over the turf out of fear of Garfield, decided to deliver the mail himself. After enduring Garfield, he begged Herman to take the job back.
