| Trust Me, I'm an X | comment |
A Stock Phrase used by characters looking to enhance their credibility in dealing with situations or problems that have arisen, where X is usually a type of occupation ("Doctor" being the most popular, by far). Certain jobs and occupations, like practicing medicine, are so universally respected that anybody merely claiming to be of that profession is enough for that person to be taken seriously. When a problem arises where one's specific job skills and talents can be put into practice, such as after a D.I.Y. Disaster, somebody claiming to be a licensed plumber or architect can easily become a savior, and a cocky hero protagonist full of confidence in one's own expertise gets a pithy one-liner that can be delivered whenever held in doubt. However, more often in many comedic situations, a speaker may call attention to their personal occupation or area expertise at a time when it would be completely irrelevant to a problem or issue at hand, or, taken to its furthest extreme, the speaker may be revealed as a fraud lacking all of the expertise being claimed. Very likely to be uttered by a Back-Alley Doctor, a Mad Doctor, or an impostor attempting a Bavarian Fire Drill. Subtrope of Appeal to Authority; Sister Trope to I'm Not a Doctor, but I Play One on TV and Not That Kind of Doctor; Inverse trope of I'm a Doctor, Not a Placeholder, when a speaker recognizes that their personal expertise is not applicable to the situation at hand. Likely to be the first of many Doctor's Orders in a medical emergency. |

Discworld: Parodied in Maskerade, when Nanny Ogg makes her way through a crowd to the scene of an accident by saying "Let me through, I'm a nosy person." In Going Postal and Making Money, Moist manages to pull off "I'm a criminal. Trust me." This is because Discworld has a high incidence of belief in At Least I Admit It and the reliable traitor; you can trust Moist precisely because he can admit he's here to trick you out of your money. |

Trafalgar Law from One Piece tends to announce his profession with such a line. Though, it doesn't help that, in addition to being a doctor, he's a pirate. And, OH YEAH, his moniker is "Surgeon of Death", which is well justified with the fact that his Devil Fruit power enables him to turn any space into an operating room and manipulate anything within according to his will. Nonetheless, his medical skills are legit, considering how he used them to save Luffy and Jimbei from certain death. | |

Catface likes to give strange advice and reassure the viewer with his unofficial catchphrase, "Trust me, I'm a cat!" However, he also inverts this saying, "I don't know, I'm a cat!" | |

Saturday Night Live parodies of The View with Tracy Morgan as Starr Jones would always see Ms. Jones begin every single sentence in a discussion noting, "I am a lawyer" followed by an observation about the news story or subject being discussed that is completely obvious. | |

In a Ruby Quest spin-off, "Deja vu Ruby Quest", Filbert gets Ruby before she can even react, and keeps telling her not to worry, even if he has a bonesaw in a hand and a scalpel in the other. If it counts as canon, this spin-off was before Ruby Quest's beginning, so Filbert still has his right hand. | |

The sketch comedy show In Living Color! had a character named Fire Marshall Bill, played by Jim Carrey. Insane, masochistic, and Nightmare Faced, it's no surprise that when he says some variation of "Don't worry, I'm a fire marshal", it's of no reassurance…and it doesn't help that he has a tendency to say that right before blowing up the building that he's in. | |

Doctor Who: "Trust me; I'm the Doctor." (And variations thereupon depending on whatever authority figure the psychic paper says.) David Tennant owns a shirt that says, well...◊ Matt Smith says it in "The Eleventh Hour", but the truly marvelous example is from "The Rebel Flesh", where when his over-foreshadowed 'ganger-clone finally appears it has several lines before the camera finally focuses on it — him, and then finishes up, "Trust me. I'm the Doctor." It's supposed to be creepy, but the episode is suffering from severe Aesop Amnesia, so many viewers are actually kind of relieved he's there. "Voyage of the Damned": Cruise line mogul Max Capricorn's company slogan is "You can trust me, because my name is Max." (Twinkle Smile) You can't trust him. |

A Dr. Pepper ad campaign where "doctors" like Dr. Dre, NBA Hall of Famer Julius Erving ("Dr. J"), and Gene Simmons ("Dr. Love") use, "Trust me, I'm a doctor," as a slogan. They also give this trope and their own commercials a send-up with retired NFL linebacker Michael Strahan saying, "Trust me. I've sent people to the doctor!" | |

Family Guy gave us "Relax, I be a doctor." Scary. Another episode includes Quagmire faking a heart attack to get out of an unwanted marriage. When he collapses, Joe (who was in on the plan) checks his pulse and announces, "He's dead. I know, I'm a cop." |
