* ''[[Franchise/ThePinkPanther The Pink Panther Strikes Again]]: After Dreyfus destroys the U.N. building:

* In Creator/WaltDisney's WWII-era propaganda short,"Education for Death", the Nazi teacher is heard yelling, "''Heute gehört uns Deutschland – morgen, die ganze Welt!''", which the narrator loosely translates as, "Today we own Germany, tomorrow the whole world!"

The {{Trope Namer|s}} is the song "Es zittern die morschen Knochen" ("The Decayed Bones Tremble") by Hans Baumann (1914–1988). Strangely enough, he wrote it in 1932 when he was still a member of the Catholic youth organization ''Neudeutschland'' (New Germany). The following year, he became a member of the Nazi party and the song was sung by the Hitler Youth and other party organizations, and in 1935 it became the official song of the ''Deutsche Arbeitsfront'' (German Labour Front), the Nazi trade union surrogate. The line in question came in two versions, about one-third of songbooks preferring ''Denn heute gehört uns Deutschland und morgen die ganze Welt'' ("For today Germany belongs to us and tomorrow the entire world") and two-thirds the slightly less controversial ''Denn heute da hört uns Deutschland und morgen die ganze Welt'' ("For today Germany listens to us and tomorrow the entire world"). The trope has, unsurprisingly, often been [[WrongfullyAttributed misattributed]] to AdolfHitler.

* Dr. Doofinshmertz from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' sometimes says, "Today the Tri-State Area, tomorrow the world!"

A resident MadScientist, DarkLord or EvilSorcerer is seeking WorldDomination, but first he has to practice small scale. How about his hometown? Or maybe the nearest city? Some of the times most of the plot happens in his small-scale practice, making him an insignificant, yet amusing, force. Sometimes he succeeds and becomes a very serious threat to the world.
