...for every time I'd seen this trope, I'd have...well, I guess I could buy a candy bar. A Stock Phrase, in response to a frequent event. The character will say something along the lines of, "If I had a nickel for every time X happened, I'd be rich." Expect "nickel" to be replaced as appropriate with whatever currency appears in the work. A common variant is for the character to simply trail off after the first part, e.g.: "If I had a nickel for every time X happened..." Another possible variant is "If I had a nickel for every X, I'd have (number of X) nickels." Additionally, this trope might be Played for Laughs by having the second part of the phrase add up to something impossible (for instance, getting $5.47 from nickels). This trope often overlaps with Noodle Incident and Oh, No... Not Again!, in that this is usually the first time we've seen this happen to them. It may also be invoked as a Never Heard That One Before response to an overly-repeated joke or comment. This becomes a Subverted Trope when a character instead says something like, "If I had a nickel for every time X happened...I'd have two nickels." Lately, this subversion has become common enough that the trope looks to be heading towards either Dead or Undead Horse Trope territory. |

In Night Watch, Sergeant Colon says that if he had a dollar for every watchman's funeral he'd attended he'd have $19.50. He did the math right, it's just that one of them woke up before they buried him. | |

FU DW: In "HOW DW RUINED CHRISTMAS", when Matt points out how in 2001, every African-American cartoon child character celebrated Kwanzaa, note namely Alan "The Brain" Powers, Penny Proud, Susie Carmichael, Marci and Mimi, and Vince LaSalle, he plays an AI-generated sound clip of Dr. Doofenshmirtz saying "If I had a nickel for every Christmas cartoon in 2001 that had at least one kid celebrating Kwanzaa, I'd have five nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird they all came out the same year." | |

In Lamplight City, during an investigation, Miles Fordham, comes across an old case about the murder of a sex worker, Lilly, which relates to a case he is currently investigating. Having learned that Serafina, the madam at the brothel Lilly worked at, still keeps her possessions in a locker because she cannot bring herself to get rid of them, he asks Ruby, another woman who works at the place, if he could get to see Lilly's possessions. Ruby is hesitant to do this, as she is not sure if Serafina would approve of it, referring to how much Lilly meant to her. Miles assures her that Serafina doesn't have to know and he promises her that he is only going to "look, not touch." Ruby mutters "If I had a crown for every time I heard that..." under her breath at this. | |

A repeated joke in Discworld novels. In Night Watch, Sergeant Colon says that if he had a dollar for every watchman's funeral he'd attended he'd have $19.50. He did the math right, it's just that one of them woke up before they buried him. In Lords and Ladies, Mustrum Ridcully says that if he had a penny for every time he'd been kicked out of the tavern in Lancre, he'd have $5.38. In Moving Pictures, Windle Poons says that if he had a penny for every time the Watch chased him home, he'd have "fivepence-ha'penny", (because they once gave up halfway). |

Phineas and Ferb: "Phineas' Birthday Clip-O-Rama!" plays with this trope from Doofenshmirtz, Phineas, and Linda. It cuts to a set of clips with a running total of money in the top corner. Doof and Linda realize that the total amount equals that of a candy bar. In "Wizard of Odd", Buford (who is a combination of lion, tiger and bear) says this after Candace, Jeremy and Baljeet's response to seeing him was "Oh my". |

The Cat in the Stacks Mysteries: In book 1, the late Godfrey Priest's agent has to listen to a man complaining about the quality of literature nowadays and lamenting the commercialism of it all, how people have come to write for money over "literary merit". After chasing him off, she remarks that "If I had a dollar for every one of his kind I've met, I could retire." In Charlie's narration in book 2, when talking about how most people aren't familiar with the Maine Coon breed of cat and are confused when they see Diesel, he thinks to himself that "If I had the proverbial dime for every time someone asked me, "What is that?" I could donate a hefty sum to the library and solve some of its ongoing budget woes." |

Blow Out: When Jack presents evidence to Mackey, a police detective, that Governor McRyan's tire was shot out, and it means the car "accident" that killed him wasn't really an accident, Mackey is unimpressed, dismissing Jack as just another Conspiracy Theorist, and grousing if he had a nickel for everyone like Jack who came into his office, he could buy the state of Florida. | |

In Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension, Doofenshmirtz notes if he had a nickel for every time he'd been doomed by a puppet... he'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice. (This has since undergone Memetic Mutation.) | |

Saturday Night Live: Played with in a "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey" sketch which goes, "I wish I had a dollar for every time I spent a dollar, because, yahoo! I'd have all my money back!" In the middle of the cold open where Useful Notes/Bob Dole thinks Charlton Heston is coming on to him, Heston assures him otherwise by claiming, "If I had a nickel for every dame who's left my bed a satisfied customer, I'd make Steve Forbes look like a pauper!" Betty White said in her opening monologue: "Guess what, Jay-Z is here! And if I had a dime for every time I said that, I'd have one dime. Which wasn't anything to stake a stick at in my day." |

Family Guy: Brian uses this expression (without spelling out the "I'd be rich" part of the thought) and is completely dumbfounded when his girlfriend's companions don't recognize the saying on its own. It seems, though, that Brian himself doesn't understand the expression well enough to explain it to them. He seems to be dumbfounded not only because they're unfamiliar with the expression (which is indeed a bit ignorant), but also because he hadn't thought about the expression enough to immediately know the answer to the question "What does that saying mean?" Another episode has Meg combine this with Curse Cut Short: "If I had a nickel for every time my parents walked out instead of teaching me to drive, I'd be one rich—" In "Blue Harvest", when the Millennium Falcon gets attacked by TIE Fighters: |

In the Doctor Who New Adventures novel Death and Diplomacy, the Doctor tells the Hollow Gods that if he had a penny for every time he'd heard the phrase "You will obey our every command", he'd have forty-seven pounds, nine shillings, and fourpence. Which he acknowledges isn't a lot of money, but is still an impressive number of times. | |
