Sometimes something is supposed to be so intuitive, the work needed from an actual person is minimal. This is rarely the case, but the thought of making something ridiculously easy is appealing.
This usually comes in two forms:
An advertising slogan that touts the supposed intuitiveness of the product. Even accepting it as hyperbole, it's still rarely the case.
Joking about how cliché or awesome an idea is so that a writer or director will supposedly know all they have to do just from that idea.
A Sister Trope to You Can't Miss It.

The Simpsons:
In "Homer's Barbershop Quartet", Homer gets an idea for a song called "Baby on Board". Pretty much all the lyrics he comes up with are "something something", but he still says "This thing writes itself!" afterwards.
In "The Squirt and the Whale", a conversation about Lisa trying to save a beached whale gives Homer an idea for a movie.

Doctor Who: In "Partners in Crime", Adipose Industries markets their weight-loss "drug" with the slogan "the fat just walks away." And as even the Doctor had to admit, it was a pretty effective weight-loss method...
