* In the ''[[Quantum Leap]]'' episode "Running for Honor," Sam leaps into a track runner, and fails to live up to the guy's previous performance:

'''Coach:''' Yeah, that's great. If you're my grandmother! }}

* In ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'':

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' episode ''Faith, Hope and Trick''

* In [[Stargate Atlantis]] the only reason John Sheppard knows Rodney McKay ''has'' a sister is because he uses this trope. After they reconcile, he switches out his sister for something even more demeaning: "My four year old niece can do better than you!"

* Variant: In ''[[Warriors Orochi]]'', [[Badass Grandpa]] Shibata Katsuie occasionally taunts "You can't outfight ''my corpse''!"

** In the same game, after Guybrush passes the medical exam for the diving competition, he's told, "You'd have to be a palsy ridden grandmother to fail." Indeed, when you show your certificate to Marco, he tells you "I've seen palsy-ridden grandmothers with better scores than yours!"

** Also, Guybrush has a rather ingenious one near the end of ''[[Tales of Monkey Island]] Chapter 2: The Siege of Spinner Cay'', only "grandma" is replaced with "possibly dead mother":

* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls Four|The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion]]'', if the player chooses to fight in the arena, one of the NPCs informs your character, "My grandma can beat you and she's dead!"

* In ''[[Ultimate Spider-Man]]'', there's a level where the player controls Venom who has been unleashed on Manhattan to chase down Electro as part of a demonstration of Venom's abilities. Expect Electro to constantly pelt you with lame insults if you're even ten yards behind him, including "My grandma can move faster than you!" And no, there is no way to prevent hearing this a dozen times except to turn off the sound.

* ''[[Extreme Ghostbusters]]'': An old friend of Garrett was playing basketball and teasing his adversary with the 'grandma can play better' insult. Soon after the adversary replied that she was not there, Garrett was passing by and his friend told the adversary Garrett could play better.
