A character is sent to take care of something another tried and failed to do, and some essential difference between the characters in question is pointed out. This often results in a stock phrase of the form "Never send a boy to do a man's job." | |

The Matrix: After Cypher fails in his mission Agent Smith remarks "Never send a human to do a machine's job." This is Fantastic Racism because Agent Smith is computer program and has a low opinion of humans; indeed he once referred to them as 'cancer' that he had to 'cure'. | |

In the English dub of Digimon Adventure, MetalSeadramon remarks "Never send a Rookie to do a Mega's work!". This is battle trash talk; a rookie is one the lower evolution forms while a mega is the highest. MetalSeadramon himself is a mega and trashing a goup of rookie digimon. | |

In Punisher Noir, the Russian is informed of Barracuda and Jigsaw's deaths at the hands of the Punisher. As this is the third assassin who killed the Punisher's father, it's easy to guess who's next. The Russian, now a woman, isn't concerned. "You know what they say — Never send man to do woman's job." | |
