If I wanted to describe If I Wanted X I Would Y here, I would go to TV Tropes... wait a minute.
A common put-down of a work/activity/food/etc., by naming a prominent aspect of that thing, and claiming that aspect is better in another thing, usually in the form of "If I wanted (aspect), I would (other thing with that aspect)."
This will almost always be said in a snarky manner, and often has a Take That! on either side of the line (or both).
A Sister Trope with Better by a Different Name.
Compare X Called; They Want Their Y Back, I Like My X Like I Like My Y, I'm a Doctor, Not a Placeholder.
Not to be confused with If I Wanted You Dead.... |

Sherlock. When Irene Adler shows up naked to meet Sherlock, Sherlock merely says "If I wanted to look at naked women, I would borrow John's laptop." |

Parodied in Fist of Fun: During a discussion about water pollution Stuart Lee asks Richard Herring if he wants to swim in raw sewage. Herring replies "Stuart, if I wanted to swim in raw sewage I'd..." and then details a highly developed plan to break into the local sewage works. Lee quickly realises that yes, he really does. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
In "Out of My Mind", Riley thinks Buffy won't want to be with him if he's just a normal man, and she responds with, "Do you think that I spent the last year with you because you had super powers? If that's what I wanted, then I'd be dating Spike." (This becomes Hilarious in Hindsight about a year later.)
Subverted rather cruelly by Giles against Spike in "Once More With Feeling" |

In one episode of Who's the Boss?, Jonathan decides he wants to be a stand-up comedian. His routine consists of a lot of unfunny and, at times, nonsensical "what is the deal with that?" style jokes. When talking about sushi, he says "If I wanted to eat raw fish, I'd bite a river". |

Friends. Phoebe is dating two men at once — a teacher and a fireman. She's out with the teacher when they see a car catch fire, and he's confused when her response to the sound of sirens is to run away (so he doesn't find out about the fireman). |
