Some people want glory and fame... but they can't be bothered with all of that "hard work" stuff. Or perhaps they don't really have any talent or skill to recommend them in the first place.
Their solution? Lay claim to someone else's achievement.
Stealing the credit usually manifests itself in one of two forms. The first is a character who is a schemer. They're smart enough to know that they don't have much talent of their own...and smart enough to identify, manipulate and cheat someone who does. They usually lay their plans very carefully, encouraging their target, supporting them, and lending them a shoulder to cry on. They may even provide the funding for a project — as a backup plan, so that they can claim that as the "owner" of the project, they were due the credit. When it's complete, the thief will immediately alert the media to their magnificent discovery, claiming all of the money and acclaim in the process and making sure that the creator's name never appears in the history books. They will have some kind of plan in place to shield them from discovery, and are therefore very difficult to punish. Worse, the person they manipulate is often vulnerable or overly trusting, so this character gets serious Kick the Dog points.
The second type is an opportunist. They happen to be in the right place at the right time. Perhaps the manager wanders by when the CEO is chatting to a lowly secretary, only for said lowly secretary to outline a brilliant new advertising campaign. The manager will swoop in, blithely remark on how he was chatting to the secretary about his new advertising concept just the other day, and shoo her out of the way so that he can bask in the glory. This type of opportunist is more common than their scheming counterpart — and much less clever. They are usually caught out in their lie and have no contingency plan.
Some examples of this trope see the thief laying claim to something that they were never a part of at all (such as claiming the credit for a painting when they've never even seen a paintbrush). Others will be involved with the project in some capacity...but they either had a much smaller part to play than they claim, or appear only at the end stages of a project, claiming it was their idea all along. Even if they had previously dismissed the idea as nonsense.
However, some characters will actively allow or even insist that someone else steals the credit from them. The "thief" in this case is usually more sympathetic, since they are often oblivious to the scheme or reluctant to take part. This usually occurs when the true creator feels that claiming the credit would be a hindrance: perhaps they're a doctor who's quite happy to develop life-saving treatments, but feels that fame would hamper his work, or a reclusive author who loves her work, but uses someone else to attend all the book signings and conventions. Rarer is the purely altruistic version, where the creator feels someone needs the recognition or fame more than they do.
The Pointy-Haired Boss will often be involved in the opportunistic version of this trope, while The Chessmaster and the Manipulative Bastard will be responsible for the scheming variant. Behind Every Great Man often sees the woman of the duo allowing him to take the credit for her achievements as part of her role, with some women encouraging said man to do this so that she can continue working in peace. Glad I Thought of It is a more low-key variation of the trope, with the thief stealing an idea rather than something more substantial. Please know that Laser-Guided Karma can occur if whatever they took credit for doesn't work out as well as they had hoped, leading to Stolen Credit Backfire.
Sister Trope to Plagiarism, which is specifically about failing to give due credit for someone else's literary or artistic work. Ghostwriter is for when permission is given (well, sold) to take credit, instead of being underhanded about it.

Zeus often claims credit for giving Diana her powers and the idea of giving Hippolyta a daughter without her having to give birth, when this was again something the aforementioned five did in secrecy with the Amazons. In Vol 2 Zeus' first interaction with Diana was when he tried to rape her, and he already had this arrogant idea that she should be thankful and subservient to him.

Played for laughs in the action-comedy The Big Hit. Melvin is a Hitman with a Heart who is one of the best assassins in the trade, at one point taking out an entire building filled with mooks while his "best friend" Cisco and the rest of his teammates wait for him to finish. Then Cisco claims credit for doing the job by putting an extra bullet in the target's head post-mortem and guilt trips Melvin into giving him the bonus for the mission, which Melvin allows simply because he's such an extreme doormat.

An interesting variation occurs in The Mental State. Commissioner Viceman is blackmailed by Zack into implementing some extreme changes to the prison he is in charge of. Viceman is forced to maintain that the changes were all his own idea. However, once he realises that the changes, despite them going completely against his own political views, have resulted in a drop in re-offending rates, and several other officials have started implementing similar changes in other prisons, he becomes slightly more comfortable with taking the credit.

Crash Bandicoot: This is what fueled Nitrus Brio's resentment for his boss Neo Cortex. It was Brio who perfected Cortex's defective Envolvo-Ray but his lack of self esteem allowed Cortex to take full credit for the invention. Cortex's betrayal eventually led Brio to ditch his boss after the events of the first game. From there on, Brio decided to overcompensate and began taking credit for just about everything, including claiming he was the one who created the Evolvo-Ray as well as recycling, and slinkies.

Bones:
Booth is excited because a big bust he spearheaded will give him a corner office and a vacation in Aruba (or some such). But he trades credit to a local PD in order to get his little brother out of a DUI situation, so they get the credit and he gets nothing.
Hodgins gets his invention stolen by a woman during his younger years and it gets him suspected of killing her later on. He points out though that he was worth billions then and the money he lost was small change. He wasn’t the killer, just a Red Herring.

Suits:
Mike Ross was assigned to represent a book publishing company in some routine legal matters. He discovered that one of the executives was claiming credit for work on a book that was actually done by her former assistant. Mike, under the pretext of protecting the company from a potential lawsuit, helps the assistant get the formal credit she deserves. However, he then discovers that No Good Deed Goes Unpunished and the assistant turns greedy and demands all the credit on the book, even for the work that was actually done by the executive. Mike has to scramble to fix the situation and firmly establish who deserves credit for the work and how much is their contribution actually worth.
Inverted when Mike has to give all the credit for winning a major case to Harvey. Harvey does not want the credit but Mike is practicing law without a law degree and the publicity surrounding the case could expose his secret. Mike was planning to give Harvey most of the credit all along but he is now hit with the realization that due to his deception he will never be able to publicly claim credit for any of his accomplishments.

Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn: In the backstory, Prester John became the king of Erkynland by slaying the red dragon Shurakai after it killed the previous king, Ealhstan Fiskerne. In reality, Fiskerne and Shurakai killed each other in their battle. Prester happened to be the only person to witness it, so he took advantage and stole credit for killing Shurakai so he could become king. Years of maintaining this lie have driven Prester mad with paranoia.

In Tea with the Black Dragon, part of the backstory is that Carlo Peccolo had a tendency to shove his work off onto his most gifted grad student and then claim the credit for her successes. The fact that she's the true author of a piece of security software that Peccolo claimed credit for is the key to the enormous amount of trouble she's in in the present day.

Happens a few times on Eureka:
Genius scientist Jason Anderson comes to town but various odd events soon have Carter, Jo and Henry realize the man is a fraud. He joins big projects, waits for the other scientists to have a huge breakthrough, then uses a device to wipe their short-term memories so he can claim their achievements as his own. "His" current project was actually the work of his wife who, it turns out, was once Henry's lover until Jason use the device to make them forget about it. Carter manages to trick Anderson into revealing in a demonstration he has no idea how his device actually works and expose him to Stark.
In "Family Reunion," Fargo discovers his grandfather Pierre, supposedly gone missing in 1957, has been frozen all this time. Thawed out, Pierre is rocked to find how many of the town's innovations are from his own work but credited to his partner Sandrov. Stark doesn't believe it but at a party, Sandrov has trouble "remembering" how some of these formulas and devices work while Pierre is able to recite them perfectly. Sandrov confesses that when Pierre went missing, he saw a chance to become famous by claiming his work as his own.

In the Thomas & Friends episode, "Duck and the Slip Coaches", Duck tells the engines the story of how he used to pull Slip Coaches in the past. When Sir Topham Hatt needs an idea on how to drop off all the passengers to their destinations on time, James takes credit for Duck's idea, much to the latter's ire. Of course, Duck is much more experienced at pulling Slip Coaches than James is, thus leading to James' eventual Laser-Guided Karma when he tries to pull them himself.

In The Rookie: Feds, the episode "The Remora" features a criminal who basically relies on this method; he keeps track of other criminals while they're planning some complex heist and kills them just as they finished their work, allowing him to take whatever they stole and sell it on himself. He attracts the team's attention because his latest theft of plans for a satellite defence system left him with an item he didn't have the skill to properly fence and he didn't have time to properly follow the original criminal's plan, forcing him to improvise.

Cucumber Quest: The Dream Oracle takes the credit from The Nightmare Knight for putting up the purple barrier that saved Treblopolis from being blown up by the Noiseblaster. It's made very clear from her nervous tics that she's lying, and it's stated on the author's twitter, and hinted in the author commentary that the Nightmare Knight is actually the one who saved Trebleopolis. Oracle is taking this opportunity to bolster her reputation. Not that The Nightmare Knight would complain since he wants to maintain his reputation as the bad guy as well.

Pierre, the proprietor of the general store in Stardew Valley, has a habit of claiming that he cooked, harvested, or fished some high-quality goods that the player recently sold him. You find this out from villagers around town occasionally commenting about a specific item you just sold, and then admiring what a talented farmer/fisher/forager Pierre is. (Or, if it's a normal-quality item, disparaging him.)

Harry Potter:
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Gilderoy Lockhart isn't any good at any spell other than Memory Charms. He never did any of the deeds written about in his books. He just Obliviated other peoples' memories and stole all the credit.
Expanded material on Pottermore reveals that this is how Dolores Umbridge managed to rise through the ranks of the Ministry of Magic, despite not seeming a very competent or powerful witch otherwise. Being a Professional Butt-Kisser also helped.

The central plot of Yellowface is June, an unsuccessful author, stealing the manuscript of her recently deceased frenemy Athena, an acclaimed, award-winning novelist. Athena had just written a first draft, so June actually does spend a lot of time editing and rewriting parts of it, and writing in whole scenes and chapters, which allows her more securely claim the story as hers. Making this even messier is the fact that Athena, who was Chinese-American, wrote the novel about the exploitation of Chinese people and Chinese culture and history... and June, presenting the work as her own, is very, very white, unconsciously pretty racist, and unwilling to hear any criticism of her portrayal of Asian people.

In the final season of The Affair, Noah writes the screenplay for the movie based on his bestselling book, getting along okay with star Sasha. Noah is annoyed when Sasha is given co-writing credit but told it's because of his being the star. It gets worse when in interviews, Sasha talks about "his" script as if he was the driving force. The topper is when Noah is accused by women of past harassment. Helen (who's been sleeping with Sasha) realizes Sasha is the one behind this to get Noah removed from the movie and Sasha given sole screenplay credit. She's appalled when Sasha defends himself on "trying to do what's best for my movie" and how it's a big opportunity for him to be taken seriously for the screenplay that he didn't write a single line for.

Between the Oblivion Crisis and the events of Skyrim, the Thalmor, a militarized extremist religious sect seized power (riding a populist movement) within the Altmeri (High Elven) government, seceded from the Empire, annexed neighboring Valenwood (home of the Bosmer (Wood Elves), reformed the Aldmeri Dominion of old, and waged war on the Vestigial Cyrodiilic Empire. How did the Thalmor come to power in the first place? They took credit for ending the Oblivion Crisis within their homeland, which as anyone who played Oblivion knows, is a Blatant Lie. Later, they would also claim credit for resolving a crisis with Nirn's two moons which brought them Elsweyr (home of the Khajiit) as a client state. (The moons being sacred to the Khajiiti people.)

When Lestrade shows up in New York, he reveals he's "on leave" as without Sherlock, his career has taken a nose dive.

The Karma of Lies: One of the ways Lila took advantage of her classmates was by secretly stealing their work and selling it to similarly unscrupulous people, who proceed to pass it off as their own:
She sold several of Nino's custom mixes to various DJs and pocketed the money.
Under the guise of supposedly submitting his work to Marvel Comics, she convinced Nathaniel to give her the original copies of his art, then sold it to another artist who started passing it off as their own.
She even secretly copied Markov's AI code and sold it to a Canadian team of scientists who proceeded to publish it first. Even though Ms. Mendeleiev and his friends know that Markov existed first, it would still be their word against others.
However, this is cruelly Inverted in Sabrina's case: Lila stole her list of contacts and sold the information online under Sabrina's name, so that the victims believe Sabrina was fully responsible for their being doxxed.

He pretends to have a gun and kidnaps Ehrlich as it is the only way that he can get anyone to listen to him. Knox tells Ehrlich, who is sympathetic, that he does not want all of the credit but he thinks that he at least deserves a footnote for all of his hard work.

At various points in The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon, the accepted protocols and ethics of how and in what circumstances academics can take credit for work, and how much relative credit may be conferred in a submitted paper, become plot points. The young Sheldon, who makes a small but relevant contribution to his mentor's latest physics paper, is absolutely affronted to be told this does not merit a significant citation in the paper such as co-author status. This causes a rift when he complains to the university about his work being stolen. When he grows up and goes to Caltech, the adult Sheldon becomes insanely jealous of his intellectual rights, and absolutely refuses to allow any fellow researchers any named rights in his papers, even when their contribution is significant enough to justify this. This is the key that cures Ramona Nowitski of her stalker-like obsession for him - despite her supporting his work, he refuses to name her in the resulting paper in any degree at all.

A 1940s Popeye cartoon has Popeye and Bluto at Olive's service station when a Navy admiral brings his car in to be serviced. Of course, the boys' squabbling causes the car to be reduced to wreckage, so Popeye eats his spinach and puts the car back together in record time. Bluto steps in and nudges Popeye out of the way as he opens the car door so the admiral can enter it. But it backfires on Bluto: when the admiral starts the car, it virtually explodes on him. As Popeye enjoys some downtime with Olive, Bluto is sentenced to scraping rust off a line of ships.

The Dick Van Dyke Show: In the episode "Bupkis", Rob discovers that the titular song, which he and an old army friend had written during their enlistmentnote Rob had written the lyrics while the other guy supplied the music, was set to become a big hit, and recalled how a few days ago, his friend had come around to ask Rob for full rights to the song, which Rob had agreed to, not knowing about the upcoming record release. Feeling cheated, he went to the man's office, where he found another old army buddy waiting there who also has a grievance. It turns out the first army buddy had taken the music to a song he had written and turned it into "Bupkis". Upon comparing notes, Rob and the second army buddy realize the only thing the first one had written was his name at the top of the sheet music.

Malacath apparently really hates this trope. In Skyrim, you're tasked with helping an Orc chief slay a giant to lift a curse on his village. Once done, the chief turns on you and attempts to invoke the trope by claiming sole credit for killing the giant. Once he's dead, Malacath speaks out to insult him and give his job to one of the other Orcs.

In promotional materials for Nancy produced during Ernie Bushmiller's lifetime (like this one◊) they make it seem like Bushmiller was the one who created the character Fritzi Ritz. In reality she was created by Larry Whittington in 1922; Bushmiller simply replaced him in 1925 when Whittington left. However, the character Nancy WAS created by Bushmiller.

The season 2 finale of The Owl House provides a variation. Emperor Belos openly betrays the Collector by refusing to free him from his prison as per the terms of their arrangement as he's gotten everything he needs from them and can't risk their godlike power aiding anyone else. When the Collector ends up getting freed anyway, Belos weakly tries to claim that he's upheld his end of the bargain to avoid their wrath, only for them to reduce him to a stain on the wall with a Finger Poke of Doom in retaliation.

In "How the Cookie Crumbles", Muffy is at a loss for what to enter for Elwood City's annual Strawberry Festival, until the others spontaneously make cookies with her, using butter batter, a strawberry, banana juice, peanuts, chocolate chips, peach slices, oatmeal, banana, more banana, banana again, and a raisin, and they just happen to taste delicious. Muffy enters the cookies into the baking contest, and wins, but the others are sore when she not only doesn't mention them in the paper, but starts marketing the cookies at the Sugar Bowl under her name, with her picture on the bag.
The episode, "Francine's Pilfered Paper" involves Francine copying content off the internet for her Thanksgiving report and claiming it as her own. She doesn't know what she did was wrong until Catherine explains what plagiarism is to her, and spends most of the episode dealing with emotional guilt. The episode ends with her telling Mr. Ratburn what happened, re-doing the assignment, and getting a good grade for good and original work.

In "Droopy's Good Deed", Spike and Droopy are competing to be the best Boy Scout. A wealthy man loses his top hat in a stiff breeze, so Droopy runs to get it — but Spike, following Droopy, catches it first and plops a lit bomb inside before handing it to Droopy to return. The wealthy man then starts giving Droopy money as reward for fetching his hat, and Spike quickly changes his mind, shoving Droopy away in his rush to collect the cash — only to forget about the bomb.

My So-Called Life has an interesting variation of this trope. In the episode "The Substitute", Mr. Racine has the students submit anonymous essays (or poems) for the literary magazine. One of them, called "Haiku for Him", proves to be controversial, as it's a girl describing how she had sex in her parents' basement. Rayanne, who Really Gets Around, is assumed to be the author, and she passes herself off as the author. However, later in the episode, she discovers Sharon, who's more "respectable", is actually the one who wrote it, and she's afraid of what will happen if people find out. Once Sharon finds out Rayanne has been passing the poem off as hers - not just because of her reputation, but because she wished she had written it, as she thought it was really good - she's more than happy to let Rayanne take the credit for writing it.

In NEO: The World Ends with You, Motoi falsely claims credit for being the Wicked Twister's anonymous informant, because the real informant, Shoka, can't come forward due to being one of the Shinjuku Reapers.

Vindicators 2: Rick prepared for Doom-nomitron's arrival at Earth by setting up a satellite in Earth's orbit that activated upon sensing its arrival, spearing it with a harpoon, and slicing its body in half with Razor Floss. Supernova knows that Rick doesn't care about remembering that the trap is up there or even that it activated, so she decides to take the credit for defeating Doom-nomitron as well as spin the story that it also destroyed Dorian-5 and that Calypso, Diablo Verde, and Lady Katana all died in the battle.

In Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee, someone anonymously sends Rei picture postcards, a gesture that deeply touches Rei. The sender is none other than Rei's maid and old friend Kimidori, who refuses to come forward because she feels guilty for selling Rei's gift to help her impoverished family. This creates an opportunity for Colbasso to step forward and falsely claim the credit in order to con Rei out of a reward until Lag uses his Shindan to reveal the truth.

Monk: The motive for murder in "Mr. Monk Goes to a Rock Concert." Kris Kedder helped Stork, one of his band's roadies, get a song he wrote about his daughter onto their latest album. Stork agreed to let Kedder claim half-credit for the piece so the roadie could jumpstart a solo songwriting career. But Kedder chooses to double cross Stork and claim sole credit for the whole song. When Stork confronts Kedder about this right before a major concert, Kedder kills him and stages his death to look like an accidental overdose.

Persona:
Mentioned in Persona 4. The characters discuss the fact that the police will claim the credit for catching the murderer, because the team can't admit to the supernatural nature of their investigation. Yosuke and Chie are particularly stung by this.
Persona 5: One of the most common abuses of power featured in the game.
Arc Villain Madarame passed off his underlings' work as his own for years to gain fame as an artist, even stealing his Magnum Opus from Yusuke's mother and letting her die.
In Ryuji's side story, the teacher who is supposed to take over the track team has every intention of hiring a coach to do the actual work, but claim the credit himself.
Tae Takemi's boss hijacked her research so that he could lay claim to a breakthrough discovery. Then blamed her when his recklessness ruined the project.

Marion really resents Central City for doing this in Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky.
After years of denying her funding and manpower, they step in to claim the ruins that are Marion's pet project when she actually starts making progress in her Branch office. To add insult to injury, she's expected to tug her forelock and "co-operate fully" with the interlopers.
Later in the game, it gets worse: In order to reach the ruins Marion's eccentric but brilliant R&D department build a dreadnought that can outperform any of Central City's ships. Central City's response? Commandeer the ship for their own use, so that they can explore the ruins first. Then it turns out the Central City is the bureaucratic form of The Ditherer, so they don't show up, throwing the R and D department's schedule into chaos, but allowing the main team to head to the ruins.

In My Hero Academia, Pro Hero Endeavor is credited with the defeat and arrest of Hero Killer Stain, although it was a small renegade part of Class 1-A who actually fought him. Justified, since although they saved the life of Iida and another Pro Hero, what they did was actually illegal due to no one having a proper license to do so. The police chief gives them his personal thanks, and all parties agree it would be much better for them in the long run if they let Endeavor take the credit to avoid negative public outcry and to not ruin their chances of becoming legitimate Pro Heroes.

In Queen of the Swarm, Armsmaster takes credit for Taylor's takedown of Lung, even though she told him she wanted to be credited. While Armsmaster genuinely thought it was the right call to make (he thought it would have put her in the ABB's crosshairs), it doesn't change the fact it was a very low blow.

The Elder Scrolls:
Morrowind:
The Mages Guild quest line has you receiving quests from Ajira, the Balmora Guild Hall resident alchemist. She has a bet with another member over who will reach the rank of Journeyman first. The quests you receive from Ajira have you mostly aiding in her research (when you aren't sabotaging her rival's), such as collecting the ingredients she needs. If you read her reports after the fact, she takes full credit for the hard work involved in recovering the ingredients.
Malacath, the Daedric Prince of the Spurned and Ostracized and patron deity of the Orcs, offers a Daedric quest which involves killing a Dunmer hero whose ancestor stole credit for the accomplishments of an Orc hero. Malacath is very much a Papa Wolf toward the Orcs.
Malacath apparently really hates this trope. In Skyrim, you're tasked with helping an Orc chief slay a giant to lift a curse on his village. Once done, the chief turns on you and attempts to invoke the trope by claiming sole credit for killing the giant. Once he's dead, Malacath speaks out to insult him and give his job to one of the other Orcs.
Between the Oblivion Crisis and the events of Skyrim, the Thalmor, a militarized extremist religious sect seized power (riding a populist movement) within the Altmeri (High Elven) government, seceded from the Empire, annexed neighboring Valenwood (home of the Bosmer (Wood Elves), reformed the Aldmeri Dominion of old, and waged war on the Vestigial Cyrodiilic Empire. How did the Thalmor come to power in the first place? They took credit for ending the Oblivion Crisis within their homeland, which as anyone who played Oblivion knows, is a Blatant Lie. Later, they would also claim credit for resolving a crisis with Nirn's two moons which brought them Elsweyr (home of the Khajiit) as a client state. (The moons being sacred to the Khajiiti people.)

In H.I.V.E. Series book seven, Otto takes the credit for stealing the exam answers and the location of the Hunt, when it was actually all eight students on squad four who did it. Because of this, he is expelled. This works in his favor, however, because he is able to leave the island to look for the Glasshouse, and he takes HIVEmind with him, which while not being necessarily beneficial to the plot, it allows the AI to go outside and spend time as a human.

One Piece:
At the end of the Arlong Park Arc, the Marine Captain Nezumi arrives after all is said and done to take credit for Arlong's defeat (he had already been shown having turned a blind eye to Arlong's activities for years). He really did not plan that out though, announcing this fact to the people who were strong enough to defeat Arlong, as well as an angry mob of townsfolk fed up with Arlong's tyranny. Unsurprisingly, the Straw Hats immediately and effortlessly beat the stuffing out of Nezumi and his men, force him to rebuild everything Arlong wrecked, and return all the money he stole.
At the end of the Alabasta Arc, the Marines Smoker and Tashigi are given the credit for defeating Crocodile and exposing his plot to devastate and take over the country. Smoker objects because they hardly did anything, it was the Straw Hat Pirates that saved the country and defeated Crocodile. However, the World Government doesn't want to admit pirates cleaned up a mess caused by one of their own agents gone rogue and refuses to allow Smoker to decline his falsely earned recognition, which infuriates him. At the end of the Dressrosa Arc, Admiral Fujitora independently announces the defeat of Doflamingo and liberation of Dressrosa by pirates before the news is able to get to the World Government specifically because he'd talked to Smoker and knew they'd try falsely claiming credit to save face again.

On Side Hustle, the kids are happy when celebrity chef Dude Calzone comes to town and loves Munchy's family chili recipe. Munchy agrees to a deal to have it be featured in Dude's book. It's only after he agrees that Munchy discovers the deal not only says Dude owns the recipe but Munchy is prevented from ever claiming credit for it. The teens angrily confront Dude, who's forced to admit that every one of "his" recipes is stolen from other chefs. In fairness, Dude doesn't want to do it, but his greedy sister tricked him into a contract himself and if he breaks it, not only will he pay a million dollars but she'll just get someone else to be the face of the company to keep the scam up. The teens resort to some hijinks to get the woman to break the contracts to release Dude and let him credit all the chefs for their work.

Dodged a Beetle: Lila exploits Marinette's generous nature by having her knit a scarf for her so that she can give it to Adrien as a birthday gift, with no intention of crediting her for her work. When that doesn't elicit the reaction she was hoping for, she then ramps things up by roping Nino and Marinette into organizing an impromptu party at the park that afternoon, with the intent of telling Adrien that she set everything up. While she ultimately acknowledges the role both played, she only does so since they happen to be present when she tells Adrien about it.

In Will Save the Galaxy for Food, the author Jacques McKeown has written a highly successful series of books about his supposed adventures during the Golden Age. However his stories are actually based on the exploits of other pilots, who are understandably furious about this. The fact that the pilots who actually saved planets are now being accused of stealing their own life's accounts from McKeown is just insult to injury.

Throughout the Tiny Toon Adventures episode "Sepulveda Boulevard", Montana Max steals scripts, crosses out the previous writers' names, and puts his name in their place. It starts with Plucky's script (although Plucky wasn't all that original to begin with, as he crossed out Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett's names before putting his name in), and then he tries taking credit for Elmyra's script, "101 Cuddly Puppies Meet Princess Pretty Girl". He gets found out by Hamton towards the end of the episode. At the end of the episode, Mr. Cooper DeVille takes all the credit for Elmyra's film, prompting Monty, Elmyra, and Plucky to beat him up.

In the Bill Gates vs Steve Jobs episode of Epic Rap Battles of History, Gates accuses Jobs of doing this, (as Jobs has been accused of doing in real life) and then asks if Steve Wozniak wrote the rap that Jobs is performing. This is the only time that one of Gates' lines draws a direct reaction from Jobs.

Close Enough: In "The Erotic Awakening of A. P. LaPearle", Alex has Pearle pose as the author of his erotic Viking literature after the publisher claims that women are more comfortable with female erotica writers. While he's fine with the arrangement at first, he begins to get jealous when the fame goes to Pearl's head.

Blackadder does this with a picture painted by Lieutenant George in an episode of Blackadder Goes Forth — right in George's presence. George tries to object, but Blackadder, who outranks him, won't give him permission to speak. Even when Captain Darling points out that the picture is signed "George", Blackadder insists it's a dedication to King George.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "Rarity Takes Manehattan", the fashionista Suri Polomare seems to have based her entire career off this. It's unclear how many of her designs are her own, but her assistant Coco Pommel does all the actual dressmaking for her. Then when her old acquaintance Rarity invents a special new variety of fabric, Suri takes a bolt of the fabric, creates a line of dresses out of it, and claims that she invented it. This all comes back to bite her in the rear by the episode's end. Rarity responds to the theft by creating a new fashion line from scratch, which handily beat Suri's dresses in a fashion contest, and the entire incident convinces Coco Pommel to quit working for Suri.

Monster: Hospital director Dr. Heinemann is introduced at a press conference where he takes all the credit for an operation he was not even involved in, without mentioning lead surgeon Kenzo Tenma or the rest of the medical staff, and later orders Tenma to cancel an important research project in order to write a scientific paper for him. Tenma eventually realizes that all of Heinemann's research, which he had previously admired, was likely stolen from various subordinates.

They failed to find her, but Paige and Molly convinces Anya to return to the wedding, so when Anya returns with Paige and Molly, Bitsy quickly runs up to Anya and grabs her hand and tells Dmitry she found her. Paige and Molly just walk into the wedding venue without saying word because Paige is investigating Bitsy and doesn't want to get her attention.

In A Witch In Broad Daylight, Twilight uses her magic to support Rainbow Dash's rise to fame as a slayer. While Twilight herself doesn't mind, as she doesn't want any of the attention and fame and just wants her friend to be happy, Dash herself struggles with the arrangement, both feeling guilty for taking advantage of her friend and like she hasn't earned her position. This also causes problems when Screwball learns her secret and decides to target Dash in order to psychologically break Twilight.

In Scarlet Lady, Chloé frequently employs this tactic in order to make herself look good at the expense of others.
As in canon, Sabrina regularly does her homework for her. It's eventually revealed that Mme. Bustier has been aware of this arrangement for years, but refuses to do anything about it.
As the titular Nominal Hero, she claims to be personally responsible for defeating every Akuma; in actuality, Chat Noir handles all the work, along with Marigold and other temporary heroes. Typically, the most she does is call out the Lucky Charm and Miraculous Cure... and more often than not, gets in the way, even actively impending progress at times.
In "Mr. Pigeon", she declares that she'll win the Agreste's hat design contest with her own work - then sends Sabrina to steal Marinette's sketchbook, photographs the design she settled upon, and has someone else reproduce the hat for her.
"Silencer" has Bob Roth and XY openly discussing how they steal the hard work of musicians and artists and pass it off as their own right in front of her, while Chloé happily thinks that she's with "her people". She then assists in their scheme by pretending to be XY's new designer, even complaining later about how difficult Marinette's designs for Kitty Section were to replicate.
In "Ikari Gozen", she considers doing this to "win" the contest (as she was banned from participating) by attaching herself to whichever two contestants might have a better chance; however, she discards that idea in favor of sabotaging Marinette and Kagami's chances.
"Reverser" has several of her previous victims not only call her out on this, but use them to counter her attempts at insulting them. After she's driven off in a huff, Alix also asks the art teacher if he really wants somebody with a known history of theft to be more involved in his classes.
"Queen Wasp" reveals that her own mother is aware of Chloé's tendency to do this; when she insists that she's "exceptional", Audrey notes that she got perma-banned from Gabriel's contests for ripping off another's design. Chloé initially takes this as a compliment, as she wasn't aware her mother knew about her exploits.

Subverted in Hades. Talking to Eurydice can reveal that she wrote most of the songs Orpheus was famous for singing.

Beware of Chicken: After Jin's animals kill the notorious bandit Sun Ken, he asks Cai Xiulan (who had been hunting Sun Ken) to take the credit for the deed. Jin very much doesn't want the attention that would come from sharing the true story of Sun Ken's death, but it's important that someone take the credit so that word can be spread that Sun Ken is dead and his threat ended. Xiulan isn't entirely comfortable with taking the credit in this manner, but she isn't about to refuse Jin after he saved her life.

When she then asks Dexter about the method he used to solve it, he accuses her of trying to steal the credit - tribalism is a serious issue here, and as an Earth Pony, Dexter's work would be dismissed. Twilight eventually has to choose between answering the inquiries, effectively claiming his work as her own, or crediting Dexter, ensuring that the knowledge goes completely ignored.

South Park:
In "Fishsticks", Jimmy and Cartman (well, mostly Jimmy) made up a famous joke, yet Cartman tried to hog all the credit. Trey Parker and Matt Stone came up with this plot from knowing people in the entertainment industry who also did that.
Is "The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs", Kyle, Stan, and Cartman write the titular book to cash in on No Such Thing as Bad Publicity, but use Butters as their scapegoat when it looks like they might get in trouble for it. However, when it actually does become a hit, they try and convince Butters that he's doing this.

Ciaphas Cain would like to share the credit with his aide Jurgen, but unfortunately he has all the charisma and charm of the pair (as Amberley notes, someone like Jurgen is hardly likely to spruce up a heroic legend like Cain's). Fortunately, being essentially a competent but just-as smelly and Sarcasm-Blind Baldrick, Jurgen himself doesn't care for personal fame and glory, being quite content with the prestige of being the aide to Commissar Ciaphas Cain (Hero of the Imperium) which he can use to requisition/scrounge up what he and they need.

A cutaway gag shows Albert Einstein in his pre-fame job as a patent office clerk. Somebody comes to the counter, presents a pile of papers, and asks to patent "Smith's Theory of Relativity". Einstein knocks him out and snatches the papers. Then later does the same thing to God after he invents Shrinky Dinks.
Another episode has an unintentional/unwilling example when something good happens to Peter, who looks skyward and says, "Thank you, Jesus!" The camera then pans up to Heaven.
