->''"Work's been kinda slow since cartoons [[UsefulNotes/SwitchToColor went to color]]. But I've still got it, Eddie! Boop boop be doop (hic!)"''

StockPhrase spoken by someone who thought they were out of practice at something, but when doing it again for the first time in a while, find out that they are in fact still good at it. Occasionally subverted, when it first ''seems'' that the character has succeeded, but has in fact failed.

** The one thing Johnny's old gang doesn't regret about their bullying ways? All of them pushing 60 and they make short work of a bunch of troublemaking punks at a pool hall. ''Especially'' terminally ill Tommy, who dies hours later.

* ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'': One line Jolee Bindo's [[BattleCry battle speech]] is "Still got it."

--> “Yes, I still got it,” Amadeus nodded in satisfaction as he twirled his blood-tipped sword around, none the worse for wear from the short altercation.

* In ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'', Tommy Oliver returns to the fight after several years of retirement and notes, "I may be old, but I can still pull it off."
** ''Series/PowerRangersOperationOperdrive'' sees the return of Adam Park, a long time team mate of Tommy's. While the other veterans resort to using super powers to fend off some mooks while in human form, Adam relies on good old fashioned martial arts just like his Zordon Era days.
-->'''Adam''': It may be old school, but it still gets the job done.
** Another example occured during the All Red Ranger team up in ''Series/PowerRangersWildForce''. Jason Lee Scott, the franchise's first Red Ranger utterly [[CurbStompBattle flattens]] the BigBad of the episode with his [[BareFistedMonk bare hands]] much to the awe of current RookieRedRanger Cole.

* ''Wrestling/WrestleMania VII''
-->'''Wrestling/GorillaMonsoon:''' Escaped by the skin of your teeth, Brain, Intercontinental Title nearly went flying out of the window!\\
'''[[Wrestling/BobbyHeenan Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan]]:''' He's still got it, though!

* Another pro wrestling example: Fans will often show their appreciation for older veteran wrestlers that can still perform well in the ring by chanting "You still got it." Wrestling/{{Sting}}, being a big fan favorite from the old Wrestling/{{N|ationalWrestlingAlliance}}WA and Wrestling/{{WCW}} days, gets this all the time in Wrestling/{{TNA}}.
** Wrestling/RickySteamboat vs. Wrestling/ChrisJericho proved this for Ricky too.
** Wrestling/BookerT at the 2011 ''Wrestling/RoyalRumble'' (his first WWE appearance since 2007) and Road Dogg at the 2012 Royal Rumble (his first WWE appearance since 2002). Needless to say, "ring rust" was no problem for them.

* In ''FanFic/TheApprenticeTheStudentAndTheCharlatan'', Celestia rather enjoys being able to fluster her friends with a DoubleEntendre of a suggestion in the past. Fast forward to the epilogue in the present day, she's rather pleased that she can fluster Twilight the same way.

* An example that concerned no one but Lenny Leonard, but Wrestling/MattSydal showed him that he in fact was not ''not'' "Out Of Gas" after recovering from a broken and dislocated foot at ''EVOLVE 31'' by beating Johnny Gargano.

* The mother in ''Film/SpyKids'', after successfully using the laser in her wedding ring to cut through the ropes tying her to a chair.

* The ''Anime/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam'' and ''Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam'' manga reveal that Grey Stoke, an old Jovian captain along with his rickety mobile suit, the Gump still have quite a bit of asskicking in them. [[spoiler:Which isn't surprising since Grey Stoke is an aged [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Judau Ashta]], the Gump being what the ZZ Gundam ultimately became.]]

** This is actually an ''inversion of the subversion'', since his invitation was a series of disconnected nervous babblings that Sponegbob had to work to interpret, which under normal circumstances would warrant a macing and calling the police. Apparently this works for her.

* One line [[KnightsOfTheOldRepublic Jolee]] [[BadassGrandpa Bindo's]] [[BattleCry battle speech]] is "Still got it."
* In ''Overwatch'', Soldier: 76's default voice line is this.

--> '''Ranma:''' I've got it. I've still got it! The heat is on, Shampoo! I'll make you say you love me!\\

* The ''Anime/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam'' and ''Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam'' manga reveal that Grey Stoke, an old Jovian captain along with his rickety mobile suit, the Gump still have quite a bit of asskicking in them. [[spoiler:Which isn't surprising since Grey Stoke is an aged [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Judau Ashta]], the Gump being what the ZZ Gundam ultimately became.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKIoy1oA3l0 Here's a clip]] of legendary retired boxer Roberto Duran sparring with current contender Sergio More in May of 2016. Duran (who reached the height of his career in the 70s and the 80s, is 64 years old, and partially disabled after a car crash in the early 2000s) needs only about a minute before he begins finding the openings in Mora's defense and dodges Mora's attempts to retaliate, while an increasingly incredulous crowd watches. At the end Mora himself takes a moment to step in front of the camera and confirm for everyone watching that, yes, Duran's still got it.
