->'''Q:''' You hit me! Picard never hit me!
->'''Sisko:''' I'm ''not Picard!''

* In ''Literature/AmericanGods'', Mr. Wednesday is the American incarnation of Odin ("Wednesday" comes from "Wotan's Day," "Wotan" being another version of "Odin")and is a real JerkAss [[spoiler: not to mention the BigBad of the novel]]. Shadow, the protagonist, later meets the Scandinavian Odin who is a rather more likable BoisterousBruiser, who explains that Wednesday was him, but he was not Wednesday.

-->'''Rosalyn:''' "I'M NOT YOUR MOM, ALL RIGHT?!"

-->'''Joker''': "The real Batman never--" (grunts in pain)
-->'''Terry''': "Told ya you didn't know me."

** Likewise, in ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', Earth-2's Laurel Lance keeps insisting to Quentin that she's not at all like his late daughter. She does, however, start to mellow out by the end of season 6 and even starts treating Quentin as if he was her father (Quentin's Earth-2 double died when she was little). This also happens when Sara first sees this Laurel, who explains that she' nothing like Sara's sister.

* The Earth-2 Harrison Wells in ''Series/TheFlash2014'' spends most of his first full episode crankily insisting to Team Flash that he is a different man from the one they all know as Harrison Wells. (And it's true- he's much more blunt and quite the {{jerkass}} compared to the original.)

* Rosalyn the babysitter in ''CalvinAndHobbes'' pulls this at one point, after Calvin complains again and again that Mom does it differently.

* ''TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob''— Galatea: "But you should know there's a significant difference twixt my sister and I. [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20091107.html I understand how my claws work."]]

* ''Series/{{Mash}}'': When Col. Potter took over, one of the first things he does is start rearranging the office. When Radar points out that Col. Blake liked a certain filing cabinet against one wall, Potter states "Blake's gone. I'm in command now" and has Radar move the filing cabinet to a different wall.

* A variant in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker''.

Not to be confused with IAmNotShazam, IAmNotSpock, IAmNotLeonardNimoy, IAmNotWeasel or MyNameIsNotDurwood. This is not the inversion of ActuallyIAmHim, either.

* The page quote is from the ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode "Q-Less", the only episode to feature Q from ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration''. Q and Sisko are in a 20s-style boxing ring, and Q is trying to get Sisko to fight. After a while, Sisko finally punches Q down, much to his surprise. This was to help differentiate Sisko from the previous ''Franchise/StarTrek'' captains, particularly Picard.
** It should be noted that Q doesn't trouble Deep Space Nine again after this incident.

* Rossi from ''{{Criminal Minds}}'' gets a line similar to this in one of his early episodes after he replaces Gideon.

* ''{{Monk}}'': In one of Natalie's first episodes, Monk complains that Sharona always paid for the wipes. Natalie tells Monk, "I am not Sharona." It came across as a weak cover for the fact that Natalie was a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute for Sharona, and that the episode was originally written for Sharona.
