A common reaction to the Annoying Younger Sibling or Dreadful Musician, where for the sake of a quiet life, the put-upon person resorts to paying off a pest in return for them leaving. The bribe is usually money but could be anything. Of course, this trope is perhaps one of the most likely to get invoked by a less scrupulous character, who realizes they can make a quick buck or otherwise get their way by acting extremely intolerable towards their targets on purpose. A subtrope of Screw the Rules, I Have Money!. Compare with Every Man Has His Price for "bribery" in a more generic sense. See also Remittance Man. |

The Simpsons: "Bart the Murderer" has Principal Skinner walk in on a mobbed-up Bart having his cronies spray graffiti mocking Skinner. On being questioned about it, Bart yawns arrogantly, stuffs cash into Skinner's lapel pocket, and says "You didn't see nothin'. Now beat it." It doesn't work, and the scene then jump-cuts to Bart writing "I WILL NOT BRIBE PRINCIPAL SKINNER" over and over on a blackboard. After Homer and his dad discovered and began selling a concoction of stuff from the medicine cabinet with a powerful aphrodisiac effect, Homer gives the kids money to go out to the movies so he can have sex with Marge. Evidently, every other parent in Springfield did the same. On Valentine's Day, Homer lets the kids watch TV as loud as they want, for the same reason. Marge once gave Homer a camera for him to fix in the basement so she could fantasize about her romance novel. He proceeded to hammer a drill into it. |

Aliens: Invoked by the bratty little brother of the main protagonist of The Secret Weapon of Last Resort, who tells her "Five bucks, or I'm superglue" when she tries to get him to leave her and her best friend alone and stop harassing them. Naturally, he turns back up again soon afterward and winds up triggering the arrival of the story's alien characters. | |

In the backstory of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, this is how William Darcy proved to his sister Gigi that George Wickham didn't actually love her and was only dating her to get more of the Darcys' money. William simply wrote out and signed a big fat check and offered it to George in exchange for George breaking up with Gigi. George immediately took the check and left, right in front of Gigi. | |

On Mad Men, Don's long-lost half-brother Adam, who has thought he was dead for years (as Don intended), tracks him down and tries to re-establish their relationship. Don gives him five thousand dollars and tells him never to contact him again. Adam commits suicide, leaving Don with a vast amount of well-earned guilt. This storyline gets a Call-Back a couple of seasons later when Don volunteers to drive his current mistress's epileptic younger brother to his new job out of state, only for the brother to announce that he has no intention of staying there because his jobs never work out. Don lets him go, giving him some money and telling him that if anything happens to him, his sister will never forgive herself. | |

The main characters on Vikings, just like the historical figures who inspired them, often demand such bribes to stop raiding local kingdoms in England and France. Specific examples include: In the first season, Ragnar manages to pull off several successful raids in Northumbria, and eventually defeats an army raised by King Aelle, capturing the king's brother who was leading said army. At first Aelle balks at paying the large ransom Ragnar demands, but when Ragnar defeats another army and executes the brother because of Aelle's refusal to pay, Aelle is forced to capitulate and pay off the vikings rather than let them continue raiding the countryside. In the third season, the Franks manage to repel a Norse attempt to sack Paris, but the Norse stubbornly keep up The Siege until hunger and disease are running rampant in the city and the Franks are forced to try to negotiate a payment to make the Norse leave. |

"The Grave Mound": In this lesser-known but comical Brothers Grimm tale, the Devil tries to bribe two men so they will leave the cemetery and he can claim a dead sinner's soul. However, the men trick him into thinking he hasn't brought enough money, so by the time the sun rises and the Devil is forced to retreat, the men have enough gold to live Wealthy Ever After. | |

Harry Potter: In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, when Hermione starts the Society for the Promotion of Elvish Welfare (S.P.E.W.) and starts waving around a collecting tin, some people pay her for membership in the hope that if they do so, it'll get her to leave them alone and shut up. It doesn't work; she only becomes more vocal. In a similar vein, in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, when Ron complains about having spent some much time cleaning at 12 Grimmauld Place, saying that he feels like a house-elf, Hermione shoots back that now he understands what dreadful lives they lead. She suggests that he might now be a bit more active in S.P.E.W., suggesting that they do a sponsored scrub of the Gryffindor common room once they get back to Hogwarts, all proceeds to S.P.E.W. Ron mutters that he'll sponsor her to shut up about S.P.E.W., but only loudly enough for Harry to hear. |

In the Discworld books: This is said to be the modus operandi of many members of the Beggar's Guild. Ankh-Morpork Guilds being what they are, you can do this in advance, sending the Guild an "anti-invitation" to an important event, with suitable remuneration. In Night Watch, young!Nobby Nobbs comments to Vimes what a deal it is for him to stop following him for a pence (I think); sometimes he followed people until they paid much more. In Hogfather, Foul Ol' Ron and his fellow tramps tell a restaurant owner that they'll sing (badly) for free since it's Hogswatch (the Disc's version of Christmas). He takes the hint and gives them some food to make them go away. In The Truth, William de Worde pays his father a generous estimate of what it cost to raise him in order to get him to go away. The money isn't the thing, as Lord de Worde has gold in his DNA, but instead is based on a tradition William had picked up from his new dwarven colleagues, in which betrothed dwarves buy one another from their parents to symbolize their independence. In Mort, when Death has retired and is looking for a new job with the first and only Ankh-Morpork job placement official, he is interrupted by a woman. Said woman ignores Death's sinister VOICE and threats. She only leaves when Death bribes her to leave. Variation in Jingo, also involving Nobby: he's in disguise as an exotic dancer, but since he's ugly enough to defy the Attractive Bent-Gender trope, people are paying him not to take his clothes off. |

Wulfrik: In the final arc, Wulfrik spares a Sigmarite priest with orders to go to Altdorf and tell the Emperor that the Norscans will Rape, Pillage, and Burn the area if not given ten thousand pounds of silver, and next time he'll ask for more. The priest agrees to go, obviously intending to bring the Imperial army. It's all a ruse, however: Wulfrik intends to return to Norsca alone, leaving the marauders there to fight their way out and make it look as though Sveinbjorn has abandoned them. | |

The Benny Hill Show: Benny is sitting in the park reading a book called "How to Get Rich." A young boy comes along with a toy trumpet blaring away. Benny buys the trumpet from the boy, then throws it away. Along comes a bunch of kids each with his/her own instrument (led by the trumpet boy, now with a new toy). Benny buys all their instruments, then realizes how much he just spent. He throws the book away and calls trumpet boy over, talking to him and taking notes on how to get rich. | |

In a similar vein, in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, when Ron complains about having spent some much time cleaning at 12 Grimmauld Place, saying that he feels like a house-elf, Hermione shoots back that now he understands what dreadful lives they lead. She suggests that he might now be a bit more active in S.P.E.W., suggesting that they do a sponsored scrub of the Gryffindor common room once they get back to Hogwarts, all proceeds to S.P.E.W. Ron mutters that he'll sponsor her to shut up about S.P.E.W., but only loudly enough for Harry to hear. | |

When Thor explains that he is only there to find Odin and planned on taking Loki with him off of Earth as soon as they finished, Strange offers to help them find him. |

In Albert Helps Out, a children's picture book from Mouse Math about two anthropomorphic mice named Albert and his sister Wanda, Albert wants to earn two quarters to pay to use a penny-smashing machine at the local library. He asks his sister, Wanda, who has just sat down to read for her homework, if there's anything she'll pay him to help her with, such as doing her homework, making her a special snack, or singing her favorite song. She tells him to sit quietly and that she'll give him a penny for every minute he does so. He makes it four minutes. When he asks if he can do it again, she says she can't afford it and suggests asking the neighbors if they need help. | |

Ask for too much, and the Hinox attacks you. |

If you're really laying the Smack down on an enemy, they'll offer you their remaining stock of missiles and drones and some FTL fuel to let them live. Sometimes they also offer a new gun on top of it, but it just as often amounts to a Comically Small Bribe since they're almost out of both and have no spare weapons. |

The concept comes up twice in A Bronx Tale: C complains to Sonny about a guy who owes him twenty dollars and has taken to running away every time he sees C coming. Sonny asks if this guy is really someone that C wants as a friend, and when C says no, Sonny tells him to view the exchange as getting rid of the guy instead of being about collecting the debt. Paraphrased slightly, Sonny says "He'll never ask you for anything again and he's out of your life forever for twenty dollars. You got off cheap." When C tries to give the same advice to one of his friends later on, his friends instead say they are going to beat up the debtor anyway. This highlights how C's friends, despite idolizing Sonny and imitating him in any way they know how, don't really understand his philosophy or what separates him from "common" criminals. |

The original Paper Mario has a Peach interlude where she can use her Sneaky Parasol to disguise as Bowser's minions. If you enter the library and talk to the Hammer Bro. at the end, he tells you to leave him alone as he's studying...something and gives you a Shooting Star to scram. | |

The enemies in Kingdom, behave in a simple way: they run towards your base, and once they find something to steal, they grab it and turn around. If your army isn't enough to defeat all enemies in a wave, you can just drop coins on the ground, which they'll steal instead of more valuable things like your workers' tools or your crown, reducing the number of enemies that need to be fought. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: The Free Cities' tradition of serving a lavish welcome for the Dothraki is basically this. The Dothraki are a notorious nomadic people who will plunder anything worth taking and have devastated many other civilizations in Essos because they resisted. Instead of subjecting themselves to the same fate, the Free Cities service the Dothraki handsomely whenever they visit, so they will not sack them. The results may vary according to each khalasar's mood, though. | |

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy: In The Restaurant at the End of the Universe there is a violinist at the eponymous restaurant who Zaphod and Ford get rid of like this. He leaves and goes over to bother Arthur and Trillian. In So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, there is a guy named Rob McKenna whom it always rains around because unbeknownst to him, or anyone else, he is a rain god. While the phenomenon cannot be explained, it can certainly be quantified. McKenna shows scientists his notes of the rain that follows him and they prove that it is indeed a real phenomenon. After this, McKenna is able to make a good living getting payments from resorts and stuff for him to not visit them. |

The money isn't the thing, as Lord de Worde has gold in his DNA, but instead is based on a tradition William had picked up from his new dwarven colleagues, in which betrothed dwarves buy one another from their parents to symbolize their independence. | |

Some Rogue Traders in Warhammer 40,000 owe their status to a legally binding one. Warrants of Trade are incredibly valuable documents that allow Rogue Traders to freely explore the galaxy and trade with xenos, but it also carries an obligation to do so, and anyone offered one must accept. Many a Rogue Trader (or their ancestor) were formerly high-ranking politicians whose enemies saddled with a Warrant to stop them from taking power. | |

A learnable skill in Final Fantasy X, which becomes rather useful due to the rare items some enemies leave behind them after using it. In particular, don't enter the Bonus Dungeon without at least one million gil. The mid-boss of the dungeon hands over 99 of an extremely potent item if you give him that much as a bribe. Final Fantasy X-2 exaggerates it by not only having it still available but also offering the ability CONGRATS! You get this if you land all 7s on the Lady Luck's Random Reels ability and it's very easy to manipulate with a bit of practice by using pause. Hitting it not only gives you the effect of the bribe on the enemy at no cost but also still gives you the spoils from the battle and actually inverts it in a way by giving you a large amount of gil. | |

Percy promised that if he got to place the sponge on the prisoner's head and give the order to activate the electric chair, he'd put in for a transfer to the mental hospital and they'd "Be rid of him." This prompts the other guards to ask what would happen if they said no. Percy responds that he'll stick around and make a career of being an executioner. They comply with his request and the results are nothing short of disastrous. | |

While the phenomenon cannot be explained, it can certainly be quantified. McKenna shows scientists his notes of the rain that follows him and they prove that it is indeed a real phenomenon. After this, McKenna is able to make a good living getting payments from resorts and stuff for him to not visit them. | |

Played for drama in Squid Game. When Gi-hun goes to his ex-wife as a last resort to ask for money for his mother's diabetes treatment, her new husband offers him an envelope with enough money to cover it, on the condition that Gi-hun stop trying to contact their family, including his daughter. Gi-hun is so incensed by this that he gets into a physical fight with his ex-wife's husband, only to see his daughter witnessing it. | |

In Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues, Ciro's younger siblings come across Daigo and his gang while he's experimenting with a newly created monster. After telling them that it's merely a man in a costume, Daigo then tries to bribe them with a hundred dollars (which, having grown up in poverty, is the most money the kids have ever seen in their life) to leave. When it doesn't work, he stops playing nice and sics the monster on them. | |

In the Drop the Dead Donkey episode "Drunk Minister", roving reporter Damien Day is trying to record a piece to camera about the economic woes plaguing High Street shops in the early 1990s, but he keeps getting interrupted. In one of those interruptions, a homeless man wanders into the shot and won't go away until Damien pays him... whereupon he returns with every homeless man in the area, forcing Damien to pay them all (including the original man for a second time). When Damien is forced to do his piece live instead of recorded, the homeless men return yet again, clearly thinking "Well, it worked twice before..." | |

The Ring of Solomon, a prequel book in The Bartimaeus Trilogy, features an example similar to the Dane-Geld idea. Solomon is the powerful ruler of Jerusalem thanks to his magic ring and many other nations are in thrall to Jerusalem. Unbeknownst to Solomon, however, some members of his council of advisers, particularly Khaba the Cruel, have been threatening other nations in his name, promising to bring down the power of the ring upon them if they don't offer vast monthly tributes. | |

Cledus T. Judd has recounted an anecdote about his early career where one man kept coming by and putting money in the tip jar. At a break in the music, Cletus thanked the man for the tip, to which the man retorted that he thought that maybe if he paid Cletus, he could get rid of him. | |

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous: Between the traditional RPG elements of the game, there are tactics-based "crusade" minigames and decision-based meetings with your council, with different options depending on which teammates you assign to council roles. One diplomatic council event has the Council and Aristocrats of your patron city both wanting you to support them and disavow the other group. With Woljif in your council, he brings up the fact that you can turn this to your benefit by demanding both groups pay you off in order to ensure you stay out of their way. | |

In Hitman 2 during the Mumbai level, you can stand around a street vendor selling cloth and purchase them with a few coins Agent 47 has on hand. However, if 47 stands around silently, the vendor will interpret this as some form of haggling and will continuously adjust the price, and it'll keep going down and down (and occasionally up) as he gets increasingly freaked out by 47's intimidation and intensity. Wait long enough, and he fully caves and offers the items for free just to get 47 from scaring away other customers. | |

In Tormented (1960), Tom Stewart's ex Vi chartered a private boat to the island he lives on, but she didn't pay the boatman, who starts snooping around for her to collect. Tom, who had let Vi die during an earlier argument, pays the boatman her fee just to get rid of him. It initially works, but while having lunch, the boatman learns that Tom is engaged to another woman named Meg, and he twists Vi's mysterious disappearance around into blackmail. | |
