* In ''ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan2023'', flashbacks reveal that during his time in control of Peter Parker's body, Otto Octavius blatantly takes credit for an idea to control the tritium reaction using a method suggested by Estrella Lopez, one of his research assistants. Unlike in some cases, it's possible that Octavius ''genuinely'' thought the idea was his as he wasn't fully paying attention to Estrella's words while lost in his own thoughts, although he would have certainly refused to consider the idea that someone else had an idea before him given his own ego.

* The very last multi-day ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' storyline involves Galaxoid and Nebular, [[ItMakesSenseInContext two aliens whom Calvin sold the Earth to]], complaining about the cold Earth winter and demanding Calvin do something about it. Hobbes removes their Christmas stockings from the fireplace and gives them to the aliens, to which Calvin vehemently protests, since now "[[http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1995/12/23 Santa can't fill 'em with loot!]]" Hobbes reassures him that Santa knows they did a nice thing and will work something out, to which Calvin replies, "Hey yeah, I did something ''good''!"

* In the Swedish children's show ''Dr. Mugg'', this is a running gag. Captain Filling, the hero, will ask out loud what he can do to stop Dr. Mugg's latest plan. His love interest will propose an idea. He will hijack the idea. She, fawning all over him, will ask how he comes up with such brilliant plans. He will announce "Simple! I just use my brain!" and [[IdiotHero point to some completely random part of his body]].

* Used in a Dominoes' commercial. UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump ''receives a cheeseburger pizza'' from a delivery guy... and then acts like the cheeseburger pizza -- its invention, not ordering it, which was probably his secretary's idea from his reaction -- was his idea. And his yes-men compliment him on it. The delivery guy is the OnlySaneMan, of course.

* ''Literature/Overlord2012'': The protagonist is trapped in the body of a skeletal lich and must maintain the facade that he is a super-genius playing twelve moves ahead of everyone else. When faced with a problem he has no solution for, a not-infrequent tactic he will employ is to let his underlings examine the issue and try to guess the plan he has supposedly already formulated, then congratulate one of them when they come up with something he can use.
