Hey, you. Yes you. I'm looking for some... information. What, you can't disclose that? Maybe this shiny new quarter would change your mind...
This is when a character tries to bribe somebody, but the bribe is either pathetically small or involves something of no conceivable value to the recipient. Common reactions include an incredulous stare, dismissive laughter, or even arresting them for attempted bribery. Alternatively, the recipient may enthusiastically accept the bribe, much to the amusement of the audience. (A once-common form of this variant involved Canadians being bribed in American currency, although economics can largely ruin any humor it holds.)
Common variations are:
Attempting to use Monopoly money or a minor coupon in place of real cash.
Doubling the payment of voluntary or forced labour, and when they refuse on the grounds that double of nothing is still nothing, the briber offers to triple the payment.
Bribing people with something they have in a great abundance, like offering a rock monster a rock you just found on the ground. Or something that isn't valuable or isn't even useful to their culture or situation, i.e. anything they'll call Worthless Yellow Rocks.
Sometimes gets inverted; the initial bribe is very large, at least by the standards of the person offering it. The other character refuses it but accepts something comparatively worthless instead, maybe even making the reduced counter-offer themselves. This is more likely to be a dramatic example than the normal way around— typically because the person taking the "bribe" has reasons of their own to do what's asked of them, but wants to make a statement of some sort with the token payment or because they have more need of the specified item than they do of the original offer (such as mobsters dealing in "favors"). A specific example common in the real world is taking a single dollar (or local equivalent) as payment for services rendered; this is done because both sides have to give something in order for a legal contract to exist. Such an absurdly small payment is referred to in legal parlance as a peppercorn after the rent paid yearly by the Freemasons of Bermuda for their meeting hall: a single grain of black pepper.
Can also apply to unusually small payments, tips, or demands. Note also that Ridiculous Future Inflation can make some older works appear to exhibit this trope when the bribe was actually pretty generous for the time. Usually Played for Laughs. Contrast Worthless Yellow Rocks, where the characters treat something as being less valuable than it is, rather than more valuable. Compare Not Rare Over There, where something is valuable to someone, but only because they need it and can't find it, Comically Small Demand, and Sold His Soul for a Donut, where someone sells their soul for something comically insignificant. Compare Lint Value, where someone offers to pay for something with an incredibly small amount of money, usually because it's all they have.

A variation in Vortex when Lando calls in a senator's gambling debt for a favor. To everyone's astonishment, the senator only owes a paltry twenty-five credits. Not twenty-five-thousand, just twenty-five. When called out the senator begrudgingly admits that while he doesn't play high-stakes given his position, to a true sabacc player a debt's a debt.

In the debacle following the release of Fallout 76, Bethesda attempted to buy off the fans who were displeased with the contents of the 300 USD Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Edition note  Two of the four items included were obviously defective; the big complaint was that the advertised "canvas bag" turned out to be made of cheap, low-quality nylon, but the power armor helmets were also more likely than not to have mold growing in them. by offering them 500 Atoms, which is in-game currency and worth just short of 5 USD. To add insult to injury, 500 Atoms is not enough to buy the in-game canvas bag.

In The Oblongs, when it is suggested offhandedly that Bob consider filing a lawsuit after being injured by a Globocide park ride, Globocide's lawyers immediately offer him a "really big check." It is in fact a novelty check worth only $20, which Pickles points out. They simply say, "But look how big it is!"

[PROTOTYPE 2]: When Heller learns his latest targets are developing a sterility plague targeting the lower class, he decides to fly the helicopter they're in at maximum height and bail out. The three scientists plead for their lives by trying to bribe an augmented bio-warrior with $100-1,000. It's not known if the 'filthy rich' sums they were getting from their employers for committing mass genocide really were in those low brackets, or if they can't bring themselves to pay an even larger bribe to a black man.

When Torg reaches into his wallet in Sluggy Freelance, he says "Maybe 'Mr Franklin' can change your mind", and then sticks his hand up into a puppet inside the wallet while yelling in a Mexican accent: "My name is Juan Frankleen, I shoot you in the head!" Actually works, once, but only because the guy in question was a "puppet-phobia".

Justified by the facts that 1: One of the brothers had cast a Want It Need It spell on the pinecone and 2: the brothers were very much winging it by this stage of the fic, as several of their schemes had already backfired.

Cheers:
Oftentimes, the only way to get Norm to do something for anyone is to offer him beer. Adding to the joke, Norm almost never pays for his beers anyway.
Carla immediately rats on Sam and Woody's plan to trick Rebecca into kissing them, after having called them her best friends, in exchange for a week of paid vacation. That's without haggling. In fairness, Carla is also evil, so humiliating Sam and Woody might also be a motive.

The Simpsons:
Bart Simpson once tried to bribe the officer with a hairdryer or some other house appliance. The cop showed him his badge: "cash bribes only".
Inverted in another episode, where Mr. Burns attempted to bribe the head of a media outlet to let him run the place with a huge bag of money, but he refuses, offers him another bag of money, he still refuses, to which a hot woman pops out of the second bag and while starting to actually consider the offer, was still not giving in and managed to successfully bribe him when the hot woman in question offers him a hot-fudge sundae.
In another episode, Chief Wiggum actually accepts two dry cleaning coupons as a bribe for an unspecified offense.
In another episode, Bart and Lisa try to bribe the Blue-Haired Lawyer with 35 cents.
A foreign currency variant when the family is in Canada, Homer gives the CN Tower guard one US dollar when it's five minutes to closing. "American currency! What time you would like your breakfast, sir?"
Happened again when Homer gives one U.S. dollar to Tony Blair to leave them alone; he takes the dollar but doesn't leave anyway.
In a Bait-and-Switch scenario, Homer and Bart had chloroform with them when they broke into a hotel. When they met a guard, Homer offered him the chloroform as a bribe, which the guard accepted.
In another one, Homer was trying to find Lisa and decided he needed to look from a high spot. He then bought several balloons, which he used to bribe a crane driver into helping him. It also worked... because the crane driver had balloons, but not as pretty.
(Yet again) Homer attempts this with the Springfield Mafia. When they offer him to pay his debt by letting them film a porno movie in his house. Not wanting to upset Marge, he instead offers to mow Fat Tony's lawn every week for two weeks. And then adds "I can't do it next week". He promptly gets a hammer to the fingers and changes his mind.

Rosemary's Baby: What does Guy get for letting Satan rape and impregnate his wife? A part in a play. However, it is pointed out that while the part is small, it's an important one, the kind critics and cognoscenti notice, and the troupe is a highly respected one. While it may not be much on its own, success here could easily be a stepping-stone to a very successful career.

When he's about to entomb Faffy, Lula and Twinkle the Marvel Horse in the pyramid as punishment for rebelling, Dave is perfectly willing to let them die in exchange for the precious batteries...and then Lula offers to tell him how to get to level seven, which is enough inducement for him to turn on Frischman.

In NetHack some of the demon lords can be bribed to leave you alone. It's a one-time offer. There's no opportunity to get gold from a container. So the bribe just has to be a sufficiently large fraction of the gold you have in open inventory. Carrying $10 in the open when necessary makes the bribe very cheap indeed.

One of the Strangers & Freaks sidequests in Grand Theft Auto V has Michael collecting the wreckage of a submarine for the "grieving" widow of the man who was killed in the sub after she promises to make it worth his while. Upon gathering all 30 pieces (which requires you to go all the way around the island) she offers you a measly $10 and a signed photo of her late husband. Michael has the option of expressing his opinion of the suitability of this reward at muzzle velocity.

Last Holiday: Georgia Byrd's Pointy-Haired Boss tries to stop her from leaving because she was wrongly diagnosed as terminally ill and has decided to live her last days fully... the fact that when she decided to announce it to him, he pissed her off by announcing that he never told her she was one of the best employees of the store in an attempt to keep her from asking for a promotion or demanding a raise didn't help any by offering her a raise... of $1.50 per hour (and he started at only thirty cents. That was his "final offer" by the time she was right at the store's door).

Mythos Effect: Zig-zagged. When the humans receive the first offer of ten billion credits as part of the peace settlement after the Battle of Shanxi (in which humanity won decisively), they think it's a bit on the low end but fairly reasonable. Then they flip to page two; the offered settlement is contingent on the destruction of all arcanotechnology and complete change to Element Zero-based technologies (which amounts to at the very least full decommission of the entire Human military machine, and quite likely a complete implosion of Earth's economy). This quite unsurprisingly insults Nazzadi and Human alike, and Ambassador Sparatus' Cultural Posturing all but ensures war will explode.

In Dawn of War: Retribution, inquisitor Adrastia attempts to bribe Blood Knight Space Pirate Kaptain Bluddflagg into fighting an entire Space Marine chapter, using the (by the setting's standard) ludicrously silly offer of a fight with an imperial regiment (which he could find anywhere) as payment for fighting the Space Marines. Bluddflagg actually accepts, if the Inquisitor gives him her hat as well (which, in a double subversion, the inquisitor is unwilling to compromise on. Geez, lady, it's only a hat). In a bit of Fridge Logic, this actually makes sense. Once the Space Marines have been dealt with, the remaining Orks would have to be mopped up to avoid further contention in the area. But giving up her hat would mean the inquisitor made an actual payment to a Xeno, which in The Imperium is an offence punishable by death.

Baldur's Gate II: In the Throne of Bhaal expansion, you will at one point have to go fetch an item but can instead just give a trio of first level characters the option of getting it instead (parodying the way you did pointless fetch quests in the first game). You can choose to either play this trope straight and offer them a few gold pieces (in a completely over-the-top manner) or avert this trope by offering them a more impressive reward that's still nothing but pocket change for you.

24-Hour Party People: after Happy Mondays return from Barbados, where they have spent all of Factory Records' money on recording just the instrumentals for their new album, vocalist Shaun Ryder informs the label that he is holding the master tape hostage. People at the office freak out, fearing it will balloon the cost by potentially hundreds of thousands. Tony Wilson shows up to meet Shaun, who after scaring him with a gun, is also clearly strung out with drug withdrawal, Tony deftly is able to negotiate the tapes for £50 cash in hand immidiately.

However, when Soma makes an off-hand remark that someone in the dorm has all of the volumes of a shojo manga she's reading, she agrees to taste his food if he lends her the remaining volumes since she doesn’t know where to get them by herself.

Corner Gas:
In the episode "Hurry Hard", Brent and Wanda and Oscar and Emma each want Lacey to be their fourth for an upcoming curling bonspiel. Oscar and Emma rush to ask Lacey "Lacey, will you join our curling team?" Wanda then tells Brent to up the ante and he says "Lacey, will you be on our team please." And Wanda sarcastically says "Good ante-ing."
In an earlier episode, the Dog River hockey team catches wind that Brent might be joining another team, so they compile a "signing bonus" consisting of coupons, a free sub card (two tokens short), and a roll of police "Do not cross" tape.

After Lewis's Cursed Die That Only Rolls 1s curses the world's numbers, Nelson wins the lottery by betting on a powerball of only ones. However, because a lot of other people had the same idea, he only won $1,111. This is still a sufficient amount that the guys can bribe Wizards of the Coast to change the rules of D&D so that a natural one is an automatic success, breaking the curse. Nelson claims that the amount is the equivalent of a year's pay for an RPG writer.

Bloo frequently tries to buy others off with pocket change to no effect. Often he'll throw in an extra penny to try and sweeten the deal.
In another episode, Coco has laid a bunch of trading cards featuring the friends at Foster's. After finding out his own card is extremely common and everyone uses it for things like coasters and leveling tables, he offers to trade one of his cards... autographed by him! Wilt points out that autographing the card makes it worth even less.

The Knights Hospitalier were given the islands of Tripoli, Malta, and Gozo by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V in 1530. The yearly rent on all three (pretty sizeable) islands was a bird — a single Maltese falcon — and the Knights duly paid up until 1798. This is where the famous detective story's title comes from.

Discworld series
In Terry Pratchett's Making Money, Cosmo Lavish offers Moist von Lipwig ten thousand dollars in exchange for Mr. Fusspot, getting a rather indignant reaction. (Moist will get twice that per year just for not selling him, and that's without considering the associated contract with the Guild of Assassins.) Lampshaded later on during the scenes in which Cosmo talks with other Lavish relatives - he deliberately offered this in an effort to get Moist to underestimate him.
In Unseen Academicals Glenda is able to get her way into the palace and see the ruler of the city by bribing the guards with pie. This is a subversion, however, because A) Glenda is a Supreme Chef whose pies are fantastic and B) Lord Vetinari specifically instructed the guards to accept (and report) any and all bribes, no matter how small. (They're also ordered to destroy the food, obviously. In this case, Vetinati laments that it was possibly some kind of crime and that no member of Glenda's family would ever try to poison someone out of respect for the food.)

Total Drama:
Heather assembles an ad hoc coalition to eliminate the innocent Justin to protect her guilty self after she alienates the other contestants. She recruits Owen by giving him a piece of cake. In a game where $100,000 is at stake.
Gwen later recruits Owen to help her eliminate Heather herself by promising to split the $100,000 with him if she (Gwen) wins. If Gwen doesn't win, she promises him a box of donuts. That's the offer that gets his attention.
In "Masters of Disasters", Chris offers to let Owen eat semi-decent food with the winning team instead of his own if he foregoes suing the show for the grievous bodily harm he suffered during the day's challenge, which among others prevents him from consuming solid food for a while. But this is Owen, so he readily accepts the terms.

The AI in Europa Universalis is usually quite good at detecting when it's losing and proposing a suitable peace deal, based on the Casus Belli used and the claims/cores you have on its provinces. On occasion, however, this system can glitch out and lead to the computer offering to get out of a Reconquest of half its current territory for war reparations and a handful of ducats, even though you've crushed all its armies and are currently busy sieging down its capital.

The Big Bang Theory has this exchange:
He then offers her "Cooper Coupons" which are basically an excuse to be his obnoxious, Insufferable Genius self, failing to see why Penny doesn't view them as better than gold (they include a free grammar check or an afternoon at the museum where he points out all of their mistakes).
In the first season, Howard Wolowitz tries to bribe a hospital emergency room receptionist to pretend to treat him for an allergic reaction (to stall for time to set up a surprise party for his friend Leonard). He offers to introduce her to "the man who freed your people" (Abraham Lincoln on a five-dollar bill).
Played with while trying to get into a packed restaurant on Valentine's Day, Penny encourages Leonard to try bribing the host. Leonard incompetently presents the bribe as though someone dropped a $20, which the host treated as an actual lost bill. He asked the crowd if anyone dropped a $20 and a random guy claims it.

The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World: A variation. Hoping that the mine-robbers have the amulet the four are desperate to get, Paul offers them 50,000 Swords for what has been described as a god-level artifact. This in a world where a nice dining room set costs 14,000 Swords!
To be fair, this was nearly all the money that the four had at that point, and they really didn't expect to buy it for so little, or that the mine-robbers even had it. (They didn't.) Paul was mostly hoping he could lure the mine-robbers into attacking him, so the four could defeat them and take their stuff and sort through it to see if they had the amulet. Combat ensued, naturally.

In Death of Antagonis, the xeno temples are bribed to work by pouring blood into them, but the amounts necessary are amazingly small - a planet-sized bell starts working after getting fifty slaves' worth.

In Knights of the Old Republic you have the opportunity to attempt to persuade the chieftain of the Sand People to stop his attacks on Anchorhead for 100 credits (barely enough to buy a medpac). The chieftain is understandably noncompliant, and your translator notes that they have no use for your money since they can't actually spend it. The actual goods he will take in exchange turn out to only cost 400, though; half that if you're good at negotiating. The Sand People mostly just need somebody to pick them up since the store is in a settlement they're at war with.

Subverted in one Retail strip: it looks like a customer is trying to bribe Donnie with a penny to let him in after the store closes, but then he just flings it at Donnie's eye, distracting him long enough for the customer to sneak in.

An episode of DuckTales (1987) contains an inversion: Scrooge and a rival are both trying to obtain a rare mask from a native tribe, and both are offering larger and larger bribes to try to get the chief to give them the mask. Scrooge's nephews, however, figure out that what's valued in this tribe is not money, but "a large belly," so they offer the chief a jar of high-fat, high-calorie peanut butter. The chief gives the mask to Scrooge on the spot.

A subversion occurs in an episode of DuckTales (2017), when Scrooge gives two characters the challenge of beating his new, supposedly unbeatable security system he had installed to defend the Money Bin. He sweetens the pot by saying if they can make it through the whole thing alive and sane, he'll pay for lunch. While this would normally qualify for this trope, this reward is coming from ultimate penny-pincher Scrooge McDuck, and Louie recognizes that it's actually a significant wager.

Also happens amusingly often in the Civilization series.
After annihilating another country's military and leveling some cities, they say, "Please make peace with us! Here's 25 gold!" If their empire is that poorly run, perhaps they deserve to get invaded. Justified when the AI civ offering the bribe is the one that just got its cities ransacked: it's likely all they can afford, and if they're facing annihilation, it doesn't hurt to try. The player might even take the offer if they were planning on taking a breather before making the final push.
Galactic Civilizations II's eerily cunning AI realizes when you try this on your rival leaders. Proposing that someone enter an exclusive alliance with you, declare war on everyone else, and give you all their techs and planets in exchange for 1 credit will be treated as a grave insult, and depending on the leader may very well lead to war.
On the other hand, while the AI is aces at managing its economy to the fullest, it rarely builds up overly large savings to negotiate with. Furthermore, what wads of cash it has it tends to blow them away in rush-bought (or worse, leased) spaceships as soon as a war begins. Which means that should the war go pear-shaped for them, they are often reduced to begging for peace in exchange for all they have: 5 shiny credits.
Technically funds are measured in bc, "billion credits", but 1 bc is still chump change compared to the cost of running an interstellar empire.

In Higurashi: When They Cry's Minagoroshi chapter Hanyu/Oyashiro-sama is highly against letting Takano into the shrine storage when Rika offers to take her. As a joke, Rika says she will charge 100 yen for each picture taken or 10000 yen up front for as many as they want. Hanyu is instantly satisfied at the thought of using this money to buy nothing but sweets.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim:
It's quite easy to get away with killing Thalmor provided you can pay a measly forty Septims fine (for littering no less). This is an in-universe insult to the Thalmor more than anything; murdering other people comes at a much higher price.
If you get caught committing a petty crime in a city where the Thieves' Guild's influence is high, you can pay half the fine for guards to go away. Meaning it's possible to get away with picking a lock by paying two gold or get away with being seen picking a lock (and failing) with nothing but your winning smile.

Vorkosigan Saga:
In the short story "The Mountains of Mourning", a woman tries to bribe a Vorkosigan armsman to let her in to see Count Vorkosigan with all the money she has on her — $1.20. Miles, seeing enough of the incident to know that that woman is trying to get in so that she can petition the count to send a criminal investigator to her village over a matter of justice (something that as a subject of the Vorkosigan District, she had the legal right to do), lets her in without any money changing hands.
The inverted version occurs in Labyrinth. A refugee from Jackson's Whole hands Miles and Bel Thorne her entire life's savings in cash, hoping it will be enough to engage them as mercenaries to get her off the planet. Bel tells her the price is wrong— then peels one single dollar off the stack, hands her back the rest, and tells her this is more like it. Needless to say, It's Personal for Captain Thorne.

In Unseen Academicals Glenda is able to get her way into the palace and see the ruler of the city by bribing the guards with pie. This is a subversion, however, because A) Glenda is a Supreme Chef whose pies are fantastic and B) Lord Vetinari specifically instructed the guards to accept (and report) any and all bribes, no matter how small. (They're also ordered to destroy the food, obviously. In this case, Vetinati laments that it was possibly some kind of crime and that no member of Glenda's family would ever try to poison someone out of respect for the food.)

In Yakuza 4, one of Tanimura's substories has him confronting a pair of ineffectual carjackers. Upon learning that he's a cop, the two try to bribe him with half the cash from a wallet they nicked earlier... only to remember that they'd used most of the cash to buy lunch, leaving only 420 yen (about 3 dollars). 210 yen is, of course, far too small to work as a bribe, so they offer him the whole 420 yen instead. Tanimura refuses and hauls them both down to the station.

Queen of Shadows: Shendu's "gift" to Jade at the Shadowkhan's "victorious conquest of Kyushu" banquet consists of three gold coins. The Grand Eunuch tries to play it off as a great gesture since dragons usually guard their treasure so jealously, but Jade and Hiruzen clearly see the insult and disrespect in so little being offered. The Eunuch dismissively referring to the Shadowkhan as if they're vassals of Shendu instead of an independent power doesn't help.

Played with in The Ren & Stimpy Show when Ren and Stimpy were working as bell boys. Stimpy was bribed by a photographer to take a picture of a VIP for five dollars. When Stimpy doesn't take the bribe, the photographer raises the price to one million dollars, but Stimpy still won't fold. Later, he makes the same offer of five dollars to Ren. When Ren hesitates, the photographer begins to offer the million dollars before Ren enthusiastically cuts him off and takes the five dollars.

The Sage's Disciple: Aozaki Touko was fully prepared to offer her firstborn or second child to Crow when she found out he learned Primeval Runes from Cu Chulainn. What Crow wanted? To work as her bodyguard. Compared to what she offered, Crow wanted peanuts in exchange... Until you think about what exactly he gets out of the deal. After the Grail War, the only thing that had changed from before it was that Crow had some magecraft under his belt and some more money. By working as Touko's bodyguard, he effectively gained a base of operations to work out of (as temporary as it is), basic necessities (food, shelter, income), the protection provided by Touko's reputation, and access to a magus that would be willing to teach him the basics he had completely bypassed to learn his Rune Magic. To a traditional magus, it is indeed peanuts. But to someone focused on surviving? Crow got everything he wanted out of the bargain.

Invoked in Paranoia in regards to bribing the ever-present IntSec Green Goons. Despite being four security clearances (And income brackets) above the Troubleshooters, it is stated that any bribe of meaningful significance (To the players) will be accepted. This is explained as most Green Goons were rapidly promoted from Infrared clearance due to their size, brutality, and lack of intellect, so even small amounts still seem significant despite their much higher earnings.

A rare dramatic example in The Ice Road: a mining corporation begins a conspiracy to cut corners by removing safety measures from the mines, which leads to an accident when the miners encounter a methane pocket. To the miners who were involved in the conspiracy, the corporation gave them a bribe of $100 (yes, you are reading that right; one hundred dollars) and a threat to fire them if they blabbed about it. The miners' supervisor, the Only Sane Employee, is outraged that they dared to sell their fellow miners' lives for so little.

Time Warp Trio had some fun with this one. A man from the '30s offers The Girls $1, which is actually a lot of money back then. However, he unknowingly offers it to a trio of time travelers from 2105 with Ridiculous Future Inflation in play, so they view it this way. There was also The Boys offering Blackbeard a quarter, which he views as a large bribe, before discovering it's effectively useless to him as no tavern will take it. In a straighter example, the number of times Joe offered to do (what is almost always recognized as, and if not, quickly discovered to be) a cheap parlor trick in exchange for passage through somewhere in a series that only has 24 episodes is mind-boggling.

In FTL: Faster Than Light, if you've dealt a lot of damage to an enemy ship, they may offer you a bribe to leave them alone. If they're offering a lot of missiles or fuel or a nice weapon, you'll probably take them up on it. But if they offer one missile, one fuel, and only a handful of scrap, you really have to wonder how much value they place on their lives.

In Garfield and Friends, Jon, Garfield, and Odie are attending a fancy restaurant where they are informed it will be an incredibly long wait for a table. Garfield hints to Jon that he should bribe the maitre d' to hurry things along, which he does... with a dime. The maitre d' (completely ironically of course) praises Jon's generosity and talks about how this one dime will change his life (e.g. he can now send his child to college), and all loud enough so the whole restaurant hears. Thoroughly embarrassed, Jon raises the value of the bribe considerably, which ultimately does get the maitre d' to find a table for them.

In Fables the Nome King has conquered Oz and the surrounding lands. The rebels decide to offer a reward for the Nome King's capture and/or assassination but they have no money or treasure. Instead decide to use this as a way to humiliate the Nome King and offer two lollipops as the entire reward. They then plaster Wanted posters to that effect all over the kingdom. The Nome King's overreaction to this insult brings on his downfall.

The Office:
Michael tries to give a terminated employee a pack of coupons in an attempt to make everything cool between them. Especially given that Michael is only firing him so that he doesn't appear indecisive, this doesn't go over well.
When Dwight was left in charge after Michael's departure in the Season 3 finale, he announced that employees would receive "Schrute Bucks" when they did something good. He said that 1,000 Schrute Bucks would earn the recipient five extra minutes of lunchtime and that one Schrute Buck was worth 1/100 of a cent in actual money.

Galactic Civilizations II's eerily cunning AI realizes when you try this on your rival leaders. Proposing that someone enter an exclusive alliance with you, declare war on everyone else, and give you all their techs and planets in exchange for 1 credit will be treated as a grave insult, and depending on the leader may very well lead to war.

Death Note
When L is explaining that he's actually Eraldo Coil, he turns to Mogi and with absolute seriousness says, "I'll give you this strawberry if you keep it a secret." Mogi puts the strawberry in his pocket.
In the bonus chapter included in the "How To Read" book, the Shinigami King has reversed the "no new Death Notes" rule he put into place in reaction to Ryuk's shenanigans. Now, he'll give them out for two apples from Earth. Even beyond the fact that apples aren't exactly expensive or uncommon, shinigami are invisible and able to become intangible at will; it'd be trivially easy for any of them to just steal any number of apples.

Monk:
In "Mr. Monk Goes to the Theater", Monk tries to bribe a doorman for information on Jenna Ryan's whereabouts with three dollars; when he refuses, Monk ups it to four. Finally, Sharona makes him talk with $40. After, Monk asks for his four back; when the doorman refuses, Monk informs Sharona that "we have a four-dollar credit on any future bribes."
In "Mr. Monk and the Bully", Monk and Natalie walk into a bar while trying to retrace Marilyn Brody's footsteps:
Subverted in the Season 6 episode "Mr. Monk Goes to the Bank". Randy tries to bribe a silver tin statue performer for information relating to a bank robbery he undoubtedly witnessed. It fails, but the reason it didn't work has absolutely nothing to do with the amount of money Randy puts in his collection tray: it's because his job requires him to stand absolutely frozen still until his beeper goes off to signal his stretch break (and he does a damn good job at it, because he doesn't so much as move a muscle even when Randy tries yelling loudly in his face).

The bribe is "insultingly" small rather than comical, but in the Hand of Thrawn duology, two Imperial saboteurs go to Bothawui pretending to be small-time merchants trying to make a quick credit. They reinforce this impression with a small bribe to get their stock through customs quickly.

A contestant on Family Fortunes, whose family had not covered themselves in glory (among other things, one of its members, a certain Bob Johnson, was responsible for the "Turkey" incident), once offered to buy the rights to that episode so it would never be shown — for £100.

In Game Night, Ryan and Sarah try to bribe an employee of the interactive murder mystery game they're trying to solve to find out what the final clue is. When the employee turns out to be reluctant, Ryan — who is not overly bright — begins slapping down bills... but it turns out he only has $17 in total, so tries to compensate for the paltry sum of cash by dramatically sliding them across the table towards her. This unsurprisingly doesn't go down so well, and it gets to the point when he's inching a dollar bill across the table at an agonizingly slow pace that Sarah finally explodes and points out that it's the pathetic amount of money that's the problem, not the speed at which it is being passed over. Sarah is subsequently forced to contribute a $100 bill, and Ryan is a little put-out when the employee takes his $17 as well.

In the Malcolm in the Middle episode where Lois is trying to get Reese back after he ran away and joined the Army, two soldiers bring Lois back home from the recruiting office and tell Hal she assaulted them when they wouldn't reveal where Reese was deployed. Hal tries to smooth things out with the soldiers by offering them two dollars so they would forget the whole thing. One of the soldiers then mentions that if Lois is spotted near the recruiting office again, that he has been given clearance to "engage."

Inverted in Once Upon a Time in Mexico: Sands initially offers Belini a bribe of $50,000, but Belini only agrees to $10,000. As he explains his reasoning, $50,000 is a lot of money for what Sands was asking for, and he is just as likely to kill him as actually hand over the money. Belini decides that $10,000 is a "reasonable" amount, something that both men could live with, and not worth any betrayal over. Sands does muse that $10,000 might still be too much, but is pushed to kill Belini for completely unrelated reasons during their final meeting.

The Old Man in Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss (a semi-obscure TV movie starring the Parker family from A Christmas Story) has to bribe a wealthy dowager with $5 to get their lost dog back, who she'd found and adopted. It's a decent chunk of change to him but certainly not to her, yet the lady happily accepts the trade anyway:

The West Wing:
This is requested: The President's foreign aid bill is one vote down, and a senator offers to vote for it if the White House will fund a study in intercessory prayer out of the federal budget. Since this would be blatantly unconstitutional, he knows they cannot possibly accept, so he demands the princely sum of $115,000. Sure enough, everyone who hears of the deal repeats, "$115 thousand? You mean 115 million, right?"
Also played with in the second season episode "Somebody's Going to Emergency, Somebody's Going to Jail"; C.J. and Josh meet with the Cartographers for Social Equality, who want the President to support legislation to make it mandatory for schools to teach the Peters Projection Map. Josh's response; "Give me $200 and it's done." C.J. vetoes that.

The Angry Video Game Nerd does its own spin on this. When PatTheNESPunk discovers a gold Nintendo World Championship '90 cart in a game bundle the Nerd bought, the Nerd tries to trade it back for some very common/pack-in games, such as Combat for Atari 2600 and Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt for the NES.

All that Shannon can be seen taking out of the envelope is two coins. Jung ends up getting that promotion, so the bribe clearly doesn't work.

In For Your Eyes Only, when James Bond is about to execute a faceless, unnamed villain who is heavily implied to be Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the anonymous crook tries to bargain with his life by offering to buy 007 "a delicatessen! In stainless steel!" For a multitude of obvious reasons, Bond rejects the offer and drops the guy down a smokestack. If indeed that was Blofeld, his paltry attempt at a bribe implies that either he'd fallen on hard times since the last time we saw him, it's a patently ridiculous and inappropriate moment for applying double-talk or he's such a cheapskate he can't help but lowball the vengeful assassin about to kill him.

The Fairly OddParents!:
As part of a plan to get rid of Poof, Foop tried to have the Fairy Council declare Timmy Turner the worst godchild ever. (All wishes of godchildren declared as such are undone and Poof only came into existence because Timmy wished Cosmo and Wanda had a baby.) After the Fairy Council declared Timmy the worst godchild ever, Jorgen reminded Foop that, as Poof's Anti-Fairy counterpart, he only came into existence because Poof did. "If he goes, you go!" Foop then offered a dollar bill and asked if anyone could break it.
In "Fairly Old Parent", Wanda and Timmy are arrested by the bingo police for suggesting to Mrs. Crocker that she cheat at bingo (Makes Just as Much Sense in Context). Wanda then offers them a quarter to just forget about the whole thing. She and Timmy wind up in bingo jail.

The original version of The Producers plays with this; on opening night for his deliberately bad musical, Max spots the most influential theater critic in town and offers him a bribe — $20 — in exchange for a good review. The critic storms off in a huff, offended by both the offer and the miserly amount...but that's exactly what Max wants, as part of his gambit to help Springtime for Hitler fail by way of a Bribe Backfire. But what was intended as the final nail in the coffin, has no effect...

In Blogging Twilight, when Dan reaches the part where Alice bribes a guard with a "thousand dollar bill", he is initially confused as to what currency that is exactly, seeing as there is no thousand dollar bill in either US currency or Euros. He ultimately concludes that it must be a thousand Lira which is worth about seventy-five American cents, noting "So this guard is either really stupid and doesn't know much about money, or he's very poor and needs whatever funds he can scrounge up to buy half a potato for dinner." (Presumably the text meant to suggest that Alice still had thousand dollar American bills, printed from either 1928 or 1934)

A common net result of the skill check rules of Dungeons & Dragons when applied to bribery attempts. Players with high enough charisma, diplomacy, or raw luck can offer pitiful bribes and see amazing results. Couple it with a natural 20 and a permissive DM will allow a soldier to commit high treason for a bag of jellybeans. This only got easier in fourth and fifth edition, with social interaction taking on a more rules-governed, mechanical aspect.

Saturday Night Live: In a famous 1976 sketch, Lorne Michaels appears as himself to announce that if the The Beatles reunite and perform on his show, he'll give them a check for $3,000. This was the going rate for any band to perform on the show at the time, while the Beatles could have demanded millions for a reunion performance. According to legend, George Harrison and Paul McCartney were tempted to take him up on the offer. They each appeared as solo performers in later years and jokingly attempted to collect.

FoxTrot:
Roger has no concept of an appropriate tip, instead tipping the paperboy with a Shiny New Nickel and then wondering why the paper always ends up on the roof or in the rosebushes.
He also does stuff like having Peter mow the lawn. When he offers to pay him, he then asks, "Can you break a dollar?" Obviously this wasn't worth it.
It's somewhat of a running gag since he only pays Peter five cents a hole to caddy his golf clubs.
Peter himself is similarly oblivious to an appropriate tip. In one strip, Peter does a complex order for a coffee (basically stating one cappuccino without any ingredients), and then paying him $2.00 and telling the clerk to keep the change (the amount was $1.97). Peter admits to Jason that he was being annoying, explaining that this was the reason he tipped him. Cue the three pennies being thrown towards Peter's head offscreen.

SpongeBob SquarePants:
The Flying Dutchman offered some pocket change ("62 cents!") to Mr. Krabs if he sold SpongeBob's soul to him. Mr. Krabs sold SpongeBob's soul for the pocket change. Even Squidward, who absolutely hates SpongeBob, called him out on it. A Beat goes by... and cue Mr. Krabs' Oh, Crap!/My God, What Have I Done? face.
In The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, SpongeBob attempts to bribe Dennis with "Goober Dollers". He's unimpressed.
Mr. Krabs once switched places with Plankton, saying he could do a better job at stealing the formula than him, for one dollar.

In Jumanji, Van Pelt bribes a gun shop owner with 25 or so gold sovereigns to sell him a hyper-futuristic sniper rifle. Gold sovereigns today are only $550, and in 1995 gold was more than 5 and half times cheaper, meaning Van Pelt bribed a guy to commit a felony and sell him an amazing weapon for less than $2,500. Somewhat justified in that the town is a severe economic downturn.

Blackadder:
In "Dish and Dishonesty" Baldrick is applying for Parliament and gives his "minimum bribe level" as one turnip, before worrying that he may be pricing himself out of the market.
Blackadder's mad cousin MacAdder is persuaded to help in a plan to save the Prince Regent and kill the Duke of Wellington for enough cash to buy the Outer Hebrides. Namely, fourteen shillings and sixpence.
In "Back & Forth", Blackadder from 1999 time-travels to Elizabethan England, and to save himself from being executed, tries to offer Queen Elizabeth a supermarket loyalty card. Even if Tesco had existed back then, the ability to "earn bonus points meaning that once a month, you could buy a tin of baked beans at half-price" would do little to convince a peasant, let alone the Queen of England (and especially this particular Queen).

Naruto: The Abridged Comedy Fandub Spoof Series Show: A Running Gag is many unconnected characters attempting to bribe people (often successfully) with "some paperclips and a Subway coupon". This doubles as a reference to the original series, where Tayuya talks Sasuke into joining Orochimaru with some paper clips and a Subway coupon.

Person of Interest:
Nathan Ingram sold the Machine to the US government for $1. Not knowing about this, a government official tries to force Nathan to make changes to the Machinenote the Machine is Sinister Surveillance incarnate, but it's also a Black Box that does not supplies any info other than the SSN of the people it deems "relevant" (and "irrelevant") and cannot be ordered who to and who to not survey, which of course makes any prim and proper espionage agency leader antsy by threatening to withhold Nathan's payment. Nathan and Finch have a good chuckle at that.
Another inversion occurs when a kid wants to hire Reese to help get revenge on the murderers of the kid's brother. The kid offers Reese all the meager cash he has on him but Reese gives back all except a quarter. Reese was going to help the kid for free but realized that the kid was about to do something very stupid on his own. By agreeing to be the kid's 'employee', Reese could get the kid to stand down and let a professional handle matters.

Medieval II: Total War:
Happens annoyingly often, when the rival powers start threatening you with destruction unless you cough up some cash. "Yes, mein freund, I'm afraid the price for peace with the Holy Roman Empire is...one hundred and thirteen Florins!" And yes, if you refuse there is a good chance they'll invade.
Of course they're just as likely to invade you a couple of turns after receiving your bribe, backstabbers. However, an easy way to keep the Vatican on your side is to set up a "donation" to the state every turn - even one single florin will be appreciated, amusingly.

One episode of the My Brother, My Brother and Me TV show, Griffin is attempting to get an old job back from Justin's father-in-law, Tommy. During the interview, Griffin slips Tommy $6. It doesn't go well. Later in the episode, he tries to give the audio crew $20 so that he can be de-miced first so that he can go pee. It also doesn't work well, on account of the fact that Travis and Justin were already de-miced first.

In the Cabin Pressure episode "Fitton", Carolyn's rotten ex-husband Gordon offers to buy her aeroplane for £100. Since he relays the offer through his Cloud Cuckoolander son Arthur, he has to include an explanation that Arthur isn't giving her the wrong amount by mistake. After this offer is rejected, Gordon makes another offer of £1 for the entire company, excluding all the debts. Carolyn seriously considers this offer until one of Douglas's schemes gets the company back into the black.

Two of the John Putnam Thatcher novels (Murder to Go and Green Grow the Dollars) contain in-universe examples and police officers who can't figure out why the bribe recipient was willing to accept so small a payoff for their action. In both, the bribe givers were trying to hit a balance between "not enough to get the job done" and "so much they'll know something's up", helped by a certain amount of lying — the payoffs were reasonable for what the bribe recipients thought was going on.

South Park:
Played with the Briefcase Full of Money in the episode "Gnomes": a global coffee company executive attempts to buy Tweek's coffee shop with an empty briefcase. After Mr. Tweek rejects the suitcase, then the executive offers him millions of dollars.
In "Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society", Bebe bribes a plastic surgeon to give her a breast reduction for $212 (in nickels) and a gold bracelet, even though any surgery regarding breasts costs at least a few thousand dollars. In contrast, Wendy gets breast implants right away just for offering $3000 in cash.
Cartman does this at least twice. First in "Scott Tenorman Must Die" he offers Stan and Kyle $2 each to help him with his revenge plot on Scott Tenorman. They're receptive at first, but then leave after Cartman explains his ridiculous plan to them. Turns out, he anticipated they'd refuse his offer, and it was part of his real plan. The second time was in "Breast Cancer Show Ever", where Cartman offers Wendy $27 to call off their scheduled fight and she also refuses.
It's Inverted in "Die Hippie Die," when Cartman is the only person in town with enough skill to take out the hippies who are invading South Park. All of the adults beg him for help, saying that they'll give him anything he wants in exchange. His price? A new Tonka toy remote-control dump truck, the promise that Kyle will never have a truck of his own, and Kyle being Forced to Watch him play with the truck without getting a turn. The adults agree, and sure enough, the final shot of the episode is Cartman happily driving the Tonka trunk around in the school parking lot while an angry Kyle watches.

Wednesday offers Tyler $20 dollars if he'll leave his shift an hour early to drive her. Which on top of being only a little more than he'd likely make working the hour, might not even cover the cost of gas for the ride he's offering her, let alone compensate for the risk of losing his job. She ups it to $40, which still qualifies, and he tells her he can't be bought.

Homestar Runner:
In the Strong Bad Email "english paper", Strong Bad suggests that Kyle "throw in a little cash" to make sure he gets a good grade on his "Englilsh paper". An Easter egg shows a copy of the paper Strong Bad wrote for Kyle with a handful of small bills and coins taped to it that comes out to about $2.53.
Played with in the SBEmail "lackey", where Strong Bad bribes The Cheat into stealing things for him by paying him in pencil shavings. Fortunately for The Cheat, he's able to trick Bubs into accepting pencil shavings as legal tender.
In "trading cards", Strong Bad gets rid of Homestar by offering him a sticky note with a doodle of Strong Bad bench-pressing dinosaurs in exchange for a "get-out-of-my-face".

On Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Anya once tried to bribe a demon with promises that she would have sex with him, and the demon responded that he didn't find a human-looking creature like Anya to be sexually attractive (thus averting the Mars Needs Women trope that has certainly been played straight elsewhere in the Buffyverse). Of course, Anya was insulted that her sexual bribery turned out to be this. (There's a Double Entendre in there somewhere, but not quite as easily as if it were a male getting turned down.)

Ace Attorney:
Miles Edgeworth bribes a certain witness into behaving by offering her a stick of gum. And then requests that Phoenix gets the bill.
This crops up several times in the Turnabout Samurai case. Phoenix is only able to convince a witness to the crime to tell what he saw in exchange for a very rare Steel Samurai card. The witness was a second grader who was more than a little obsessed with the show, but still. (Hilariously, before the exchange, the kid lectures Phoenix on the importance of equal value exchange of goods and services). Phoenix is only able to provide that rare card by trading another rare card to another collector.

Family Guy:
When Peter has declared his house to be a sovereign nation, he ends up at war with the United States. Peter's first peace offer is that he gets to keep his sovereignty and gets his neighbor Joe's pool, which is denied, and then just keeping his sovereignty, which is denied again. So he demands... a pen sitting on the desk in front of him:
When Peter was visiting Brown University, he offers the Dean's secretary a $5 bribe to get Meg admitted.
Peter also learns that the Cuban Black Market does not accept bits of string in lieu of payment. Store policy.
Peter tried to bribe a judge with a magazine subscription. The judge turns it down because he already has a subscription to that magazine.
Chris runs off to live with a tribe in the jungle. When the family arrives to get him back Peter learns that his $37 makes him the richest man in the village and he begins giving out tiny bribes for everything, including the natives acting out Seinfeld episodes. Also Joe Pesci will say things that sound funny for a nickel. After he laughs Peter throws a coin at the village warriors — "Here's a dime. Kill Pesci."
When Brian get's weed legalized, Carter enlists Peter's help in reversing it due to hemp products costing him lumber sales. Peter doesn't want to go against Brain but Carter wins him over with a light up butterfly yoyo (not even to keep, but just for today and once more in the summer).

In the Strong Bad Email "english paper", Strong Bad suggests that Kyle "throw in a little cash" to make sure he gets a good grade on his "Englilsh paper". An Easter egg shows a copy of the paper Strong Bad wrote for Kyle with a handful of small bills and coins taped to it that comes out to about $2.53.

In an episode of The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries, an Italian crook threatens to drain every canal in Venice dry unless he gets 3 thousand lire. Which is something like 6 American dollars. This is even funnier now that Italy has switched to Euros and lire can't even be used.

In the seventh Captain Underpants book, the kids write a comic that opens with a lament about how out of touch old people are. Among other reasons, one of their complaints is that they have no idea how much things cost, illustrated by a grandpa giving his kid a nickel saying "why don't you buy a video game with it?" This is inverted when the villains of the comic create "Robo-grannies", who give their kids $100 to buy a candy bar.

How this can be used in real life was addressed in Burn Notice. They explain that actual cash in such a small bribe is only part of the whole plan. If you want to get access to something in a location isn't too high security, (such as an upscale parking garage) you behave like an obnoxious tool and offer a small but not insignificant amount to the security guard, (say, between twenty to fifty dollars) pretending that you believe it's a standard fee to get inside. Even the most honest guard may decide they don't feel bad for slightly taking advantage of someone who is making themselves as unlikable as possible, and since you "believe" it's a regular fee and thus won't report the guard, the guard should decide they have nothing to lose by taking the cash, (in other words, they won't be reported for taking bribes or acting inappropriately) and let you in just to get some kind of profit for having to deal with your jerkassery.

In Superbad after a driver hits Seth he offers him seven dollars as a bribe to shush him, Seth insults him and asks a not-too-happy rhetorical question, "What are you, a six-year-old?" given that the driver is a full-grown man who should already be working a job to pay for his car.
