Stock Phrase. Saying "(name) sent me" is the password by which the Bouncer will let people in to some exclusive nightclub, or for people looking for certain illicit goods or services. Compare The Password Is Always "Swordfish" (for pass phrases even more obvious than this) and Spy Speak (for more complex ones). | |

The speakeasy in Some Like It Hot operates out of the back room of a funeral parlor, so naturally the password is saying you're attending the funeral of a particular fake person. | |

The Joker will announce himself this way even when it isn't called for, hoping that they'll then ask "Joe who?" so he can answer "Joe Kerr!" Most guards do this out of fear, because he will murder them if they don't. In the Azzarello Bermejo Joker graphic novel, he goes through the regular routine, but when the guard asks "Joe who?" he just puts his mouth up near the eye slot so they can see his distinctive smile.◊ |

In Mass Effect 2, you have to name-drop Jaruut to enter the VIP section of Afterlife. One of the people stuck in line outside of Afterlife tries to say that Aria is expecting him — only to be told, flatly, that if Aria was expecting him, he would already be inside. Then subverted in Kasumi's loyalty mission. The guard phones the person you name and learns you aren't actually authorized to enter, saying "nice try". To actually convince him to let you pass, you need to hack into the communications system so Kasumi can give the guard authorization from the other side. |

The Pink Panther is a secret agent in the cartoon "Pinkfinger." An enemy spy enters a room after showing the spy inside the contents of a sheet of paper, which he discards. It says "Tsalb Mih." The Panther tries to gain entrance the same way and is shot in the face by the spy in the door. The narrator wants to look at the paper and laughs when he realizes it says "Blast him." The Panther is not amused. | |

Ranger's Apprentice: In The Kings of Clonmel, Will uses this tactic when infiltrating an enemy camp. Knowing people are less likely to bother him if he looks like he's doing something, he grabs a bucket of water, goes to one of the cooks, and says "John said to bring you this water", on the basis that, in a camp that size, there'd be about half a dozen "John"s and the cook wouldn't bother asking every one for confirmation. | |

You can't get into a particular room in Leisure Suit Larry 1: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards until you give the password, "Ken sent me." The name "Ken" is a reference to Ken Williams, founder of Sierra On-Line. In the original version of the game, some people tried substituting the name of another important guy who worked for Sierra, typing in "Al sent me." That also worked. | |

The Punisher (2017). The episode "Nakazat" opens with Frank Castle and Amy waiting outside the steel door of a porn photographer, whose equipment they intend to 'borrow' to develop some photographs. The photographer slides open the viewing slot, takes one look at Frank's mean and bruised face, says "Hell no!" and slams it shut. Frank hammers on the door a second time and says, "Uncle Teddy sent us." That works (along with the fact that Amy is dressed up like a Bubblegum Popping Judy Garland). | |
