Take me to your leader (phrase)
"Take me to your leader" is a science-fiction cartoon catchphrase, said by an extraterrestrial alien who has just landed on Earth in a spacecraft to the first human they happen to meet. In cartoons, the theme is frequently varied for comic effect, such as a pun on the phrase to suit the setting, or the alien addressing an animal or object they assume is an earthling. It is believed to have originated in a 1953 cartoon by Alex Graham in "The New Yorker" magazine. The cartoon depicted two aliens telling a horse "Kindly  take us to your President!" By May 1957, when the "Mr. Zero" episode of the "Adventures of Superman" aired, the phrase was already a popular cliché. The phrase it's mentioned at the end of the song "Monster Mash" performed by the band "The Big O" from the 1988 original movie soundtrack "Return of the Living Dead 2" In science fiction. The phrase is also frequently used in parody science-fiction media. Notable examples of its use include:
