History Main / TakeMeToYourLeader

** ''Manga/TouhouBougetsushou'': Princess Kaguya says it while [[BreatheOnTheFan Breathing on the Fan]] in Chapter 2.

* ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle''; during the Moon Mice arc, Gibney and Cloyd tell Rocky about how Mr. Big conquered the Moon and forced the Moon-men to build giant metal-munching mice. When a Moon-man said, "Let me guess, you want us to take you to our leader?" Mr. Big answered, "Don't be silly. I ''am'' your leader!"

'''Bullwinkle:''' They do? Then, take me to your president!

* Not directly used, but invoked in ''Anime/RinneNoLagrange'', when Lan tells Madoka that she's an alien; Madoka asks if she really means a "Take Me to Your Leader" type alien. The answer is a non-surprised (she's apparently also familiar with the trope) yes.

* ''VideoGame/{{Tamagotchi}}'': Zuccitchi says this as a joke in the intro to the CD-ROM adaption. He never gets to say it to a human though.

* When the aliens arrive on earth, they land in ''{{Insert country of choice here so as to lampshade the point}}'' and demand to be taken to the Leader. The pwerson they are speaking to then grins a knowing sort of grin and assures the visitors they are happy to oblige. The aliens are then introduced to ''{{Insert name of world leader who is perceived to be a dolt, a bumbling idiot, corrupt, incompetent or generally a waste of space, here.}}''

-->We came all this way - for ''this''? what a fucking waste of time and effort!
--> Yes, but the other Earthlings chose him as their leader. Therefore they really ''are'' a primitive life-form.

* Implied in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0553.html this strip]] of ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''.

* Lampshaded in ''Fanfic/RocketshipVoyager'' when it's pointed out they can't say this because the aliens they want to make FirstContact with won't speak their language. Later the Caretaker wants TheCaptain of Voyager brought to him, so he sends his mercenaries with a UniversalTranslator to fetch her.

-->"You [emphasis] Alpha/Captain [question fact]?" scoffed the Hirogen, staring down its snout at the short Terran.
-->"Me, Alpha Captain, confirm fact," said Janeway, glaring right back at him. "Now take me to ''your'' leader."
-->"I can't believe you actually said that," muttered Chakotay.

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', the cast, along with [[GeneralFailure Zapp Brannigan]], meets with a tribe of Martians. When one of them introduces himself as tribe chief, Zapp's reply is this line.

** The Ninth Doctor uses it in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E4AliensOfLondon "Aliens of London"]], as he and Rose are surrounded by police who've been sent to the Powell Estate to escort him to {{Whitehall}}.

* ''WesternAnimation/PixarShorts'': In the ''Mater's Tall Tales'' episode "Unidentified Flying Mater", [[WesternAnimation/{{Cars}} Mater]] meets a FlyingSaucer who asks "Take me to your leaders". Mater then [[VisualPun takes him to his]] ''[[VisualPun liters]]'' [[VisualPun of motor oil.]]

* In ''Dentist on the Job'' two men infiltrating a military lab pretend to have a conversation to act casually, one of them says this. An odd example in that neither of them is an extraterrestrial, just trespassers.

* ''ComicBook/{{Wonder Woman|1942}}'': When the Saturnians poison and kidnap Wonder Woman ComicBook/SteveTrevor takes the Saturnian ship he'd stolen earlier along with a contingent of Holliday Girls and flies to Saturn where he demands to be taken to their Emperor.

** ''LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarkoSan'': Nyarko says this (while gently tapping her throat to provide the distortion) in the first episode of the TV series.

* ''Series/BlakesSeven''. Inverted in "Powerplay" when Servalan (the President of the Terran Federation) is on the spaceship of a neutral species. Tired of how everyone is giving her the runaround, she puts her foot down and demands that their leader [[RefugeInAudacity be brought to]] ''[[RefugeInAudacity her]]'' [[RefugeInAudacity immediately]]. It works.

* ''Series/RedDwarf'', "Rimmerworld":

* Luke [[http://images.plurk.com/87286a795d18e3df063394ab3c9948a0.jpg once]] tells the extremely friendly Zeltrons this in ComicBook/MarvelStarWars.

* "Far Out Friend", an ''Franchise/ArchieComics'' story, features an alien who uses this line, although he admits it is corny.
