''"Take me to your leader"'' is a science-fiction cartoon catchphrase, said by an extraterrestrial alien who has just landed on earth in a flying saucer to the first human it happens to meet. In cartoons, the theme is frequently varied for comic effect, such as a pun on the phrase to suit the setting, or the alien addressing an animal or object it assumes is an earthling. It is believed to have originated in a 1953 cartoon by Alex Graham in The New Yorker magazine. The cartoon depicted two aliens telling a horse "Kindly take us to your President!" By May 1957, when the "Mr. Zero" episode of the Adventures of Superman aired, the phrase was already a popular cliché. ==In science fiction== The phrase is also frequently used in parody science-fiction media. Notable examples of its use include: * "If it's not too much of a cliché, take me to your leader. If it is too much of a cliché, take me anyway." : (Luke Skywalker, in ''Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor'' (2008)) * "I want you to do something for me", she said, and unexpectedly laughed. "I want," she said, and laughed again. She put her hand over her mouth and said with a straight face, "I want you to take me to your leader." : (from ''Life, the Universe and Everything'' (1982) by Douglas Adams, describing Trillian addressing the inhabitants of Krikkit) * Numerous uses on BBC television series Doctor Who (1963—present), usually spoken by the Doctor in a tongue-in-cheek or annoyed manner * Titles of songs, albums, and other works - see Take Me to Your Leader 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Take me to your leader (phrase)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
