* A non-humorous example occurs in [[TheAsianSaga Tai-Pan]], when one character tells Dirk Struan that he is God to her. He doesn't actually like hearing this, as he is a devout Christian, has been trying to have a mentor-relationship with the woman in question, and probably recognises such a declaration as the result of her slavish admiration and unhealthy obsession with him.

* [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in ''PokeWars: The Defervescence'', when Ho-oh and Uxie meet a giant Alakazam that quickly pledges his services to Uxie:
-->'''Ho-oh''': "Might I ask what you told the Alakazam to inspire such reverence for you?"
-->'''Uxie''': "Alakazam are creatures of intellect, more so than other psychics. Knowledge valued as much as air. Meeting creator of their lively hood akin to humans meeting their god. Am in uncomfortable position of being revered as much as Arceus."
-->'''Ho-oh''': "Many would kill for that kind of loyalty."
-->'''Uxie''': "Unnecessary reverence. Did not bestow knowledge, only gave tools with which to reach current status. Sculptor praised for creating art from block of marble, not manufacturer of chisel and hammer. Illogical to believe otherwise. Saddening to see one of such wisdom and intellect blinded by unnecessary worship. [[TheSpock Another example of emotions becoming obstacle in clarity. Preferable to no longer have them.]] Allows for better work ethic."

A stock phrase where Bob calls Alice a god, but metaphorically. As in Bob doesn't actually think Alice is a god (nor is Alice actually a god), just that she did something, or several things, that Bob thinks is really awesome. What Alice does can vary. It could be getting everyone in her office a raise with a stingy boss, to her being a rock star.
