Comically Small Demand | comment |
Someone with authority or power (or the delusion of such) uses it to command, force, or negotiate with people to do mundane or simple tasks for them. Usually the person ordered may eagerly oblige, having expected a more serious and/or dangerous task or being threatened if refused, though possibly with initial disbelief. Alternatively, it could be a mundane reward or offer from performing a service, especially if the people needing it are poor or even extravagantly rich. The reasons for the mundane needs are: It Amused Me Not Rare Over There Pet the Dog It's Personal Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training Screw the Money, I Have Rules! (as in, the demand is a strictly symbolic exchange — the person who made the demand would have even done it for free had they been allowed to) Serious Business (everybody else thinks taking the world hostage over Szechuan Sauce is beyond ridiculous, but they don't) Not knowing about Ridiculous Future Inflation Worthless Yellow Rocks (i.e. money is not valuable to the one requesting something else) An excuse to not to do a task or to defect. If there is a series of demands, you can expect the last one to be this. When the boss sends people to do important things, then sends one to do something mundane, that's You, Get Me Coffee. Compare Mundane Luxury, Mundane Wish, Mundane Utility, Comically Small Bribe, Disappointed by the Motive, and Sold His Soul for a Donut. If it involves food, it overlaps with Bratty Food Demand. |

After working out in Unraveled that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate stages add up to seventeen million dollars in OSHA fines, Brian David Gilbert puts in a special coda for Masahiro Sakurai, where he tries to blackmail Sakurai with the evidence...demanding fifty bucks, because he's in a tight spot right now and just needs to get through the month. | |

By Night Watch Discworld, Vetinari is savvy enough to have spotted the pattern. After a Time Travel incident in which Vimes goes back to take the place of his own mentor and participate in an infamous civic uprising, Vetinari figures out what happened and seems ready to offer Vimes a huge reward. Vimes is furious that he would dishonor the memories of the people who died in this manner, but is taken aback when Vetinari's offer is far more reasonable: Vimes can have the old Watch headquarters restored, and the grave of those who died will never be disturbed. | |

RoboCop (1987): The voted-out politician holds the city council hostage, demanding three things: "I want a recount. And then I want my old job back." Which would make the recount superfluous. And, of course, he also wants the new 6000 SUX that has reclining leather seats, goes very fast, and gets really shitty gas mileage. | |

Discussed in Summer Knight when Harry has learned the debt he once owed to his evil, psychotic Fairy Godmother the Leansidhe has been sold to her sovereign, Winter Queen Mab, Queen of Air and Darkness. Mab makes a contract with Harry to repay the debt by doing her three favors, which he can refuse with no backlash from Mabnote She makes sure she sets things up so there is probably fatal backlash for his refusal, but not directly from her. Harry inquires if these favors could be this concept and she just asks for the salt three times at dinner. Mab doesn't dispute the idea. | |

The Way of the Househusband: Chapter 58 portrays it like a terrifying mob shakedown when the infamous ex-Yakuza "Immortal" Tatsu goes door-to-door for Neighborhood Association dues... to the tune of 500Â¥note (less than $5 US) per household — literal pocket change. Notably, the yakuza he's demanding the money from has to ask one of his associates if he can borrow it, because there is no reason a wealthy crime lord would carry pocket change. | |

In a House of Mouse episode, this is played with in that the demand is only revealed to be comically small afterwards. When Donald is angry with Mickey and Jafar hypnotizes him into asking for revenge in exchange for "the lamp," Donald assumes it's Aladdin's lamp and ventures deep into the prop room to get it. When he delivers it, it turns out that Jafar just wanted Mickey's table lamp. | |

Austin Powers: Infamously in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, time-traveling villain Dr. Evil plans to hold the world ransom in exchange for "One million dollars!", which the UN members find hysterical. Number Two advises him to raise the amount to $100 billion, because of inflation since the '60s. Inverted in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, where he returns to the '60s and demands his $100 billion, which the President of the US and his staff find equally hilarious, because that amount of money doesn't exist yet. He's told that he might as well ask for a gajillion-bajillion dollars. |

In Cold Days: To test the limits of a powerful fae forced to serve as his orderly, Harry demands a Coke. One is instantly provided, but it's warm, because Harry didn't specify otherwise. He then tells Harry to expect the same level of response from commands to the fae if he dislikes what Harry asks of him. When he calls up Donar Vadderung (a.k.a. Odin) for advice and some information, Vadderung says he'll give it to Harry in return for one favor (which is standard) and... a nickel, in reference to Lucy. |

Mab makes a contract with Harry to repay the debt by doing her three favors, which he can refuse with no backlash from Mabnote She makes sure she sets things up so there is probably fatal backlash for his refusal, but not directly from her. Harry inquires if these favors could be this concept and she just asks for the salt three times at dinner. Mab doesn't dispute the idea. Earlier, in White Night, Harry makes several demands of Lara Raith after saving her from a horde of monsters and exposing treachery within the ranks of her court, among other things. The first few demands are serious (she will stop her subordinates from systematically murdering practitioners of magic, and release a number of The Fair Folk she has imprisoned) — and then he asks for mouthwash, because he has "a funny taste in [his] mouth" from kissing her earlier as part of a spell. Her response is apoplectic. In Small Favor, Harry cashes in his favor from the Summer Court when faced with an incredibly powerful fae who easily dispatched a Fallen angel "like an uppity pixie". Harry's request? A cake donut with white frosting and sprinkles. Not only does the fae deliver the donut, it's warm and accompanied by coffee. Of course, the true purpose was to delay the fae long enough for Harry to escape the deadline it was under to kill him, and the fae played along. In Cold Days: To test the limits of a powerful fae forced to serve as his orderly, Harry demands a Coke. One is instantly provided, but it's warm, because Harry didn't specify otherwise. He then tells Harry to expect the same level of response from commands to the fae if he dislikes what Harry asks of him. When he calls up Donar Vadderung (a.k.a. Odin) for advice and some information, Vadderung says he'll give it to Harry in return for one favor (which is standard) and... a nickel, in reference to Lucy. Near the end of Skin Game, Harry asks the mercenary Goodman Grey how much he owes him. Harry had hired him to go along with Nicodemus's plan to rob Hades (for which Nicodemus was going to pay him 2 million dollars plus any loot Grey could grab from the vault they were hitting to which Nicodemus estimated could be about $20 million) then betray him, and they got into a fight with three fallen angels possessing dangerous entities and nearly been killed, before riding him miles through Chicago, so Harry is expecting the price to be something truly formidable. He charges him one US dollar. That's still more than he can give right then. |

Happens some times on the Discworld: In Guards! Guards!, after the Night Watch saves the... after the Night Watch is honored for saving the day, the city's Patrician, Lord Vetinari, asks them to name their reward. The guardsmen put their heads together and request a five-dollar pay raise, a replacement tea kettle, and perhaps a dart board, and are worried the dart board is too much to ask. Vetinari, who is deeply cynical about human nature, is left bemused. In Men at Arms, after Carrot learns of his royal heritage, he requests a private audience with Vetinari. Initially, all Carrot asks for is a replacement dart board, but then it's subverted when he goes on to describe his ambitious plans for the expansion of the Watch. Since this is still less than he was expected to be asked fornote Carrot could not more obviously be the rightful heir to the throne of Ankh-Morpork, but he's perfectly happy being a copper — so much so that he actually disposes of the evidence proving his birthright himself, and is of course good for the city, Vetinari agrees. By Night Watch Discworld, Vetinari is savvy enough to have spotted the pattern. After a Time Travel incident in which Vimes goes back to take the place of his own mentor and participate in an infamous civic uprising, Vetinari figures out what happened and seems ready to offer Vimes a huge reward. Vimes is furious that he would dishonor the memories of the people who died in this manner, but is taken aback when Vetinari's offer is far more reasonable: Vimes can have the old Watch headquarters restored, and the grave of those who died will never be disturbed. In The Science of Discworld, the Elf Queen tries to bribe Rincewind with his heart's desire. However, due to a previous incident involving Rincewind being stuck on an island for too long, his only real desire is potatoes (having gotten a little, ah, "confused" between them and sex). This baffles and enrages the Queen, and she stomps off, but had she actually provided some potatoes, she might've had Rincewind; he shouts after her he'd be happy with a bag of crisps. Humorously, this started out as Rincewind concentrating on potatoes so the Elf Queen couldn't read his mind and find out what the wizards' plan was, but shifted into "I want potatoes" pretty quickly. |

The Dark Knight: Subverted. After the Joker is denied his phone call at the police station, he delivers a Hannibal Lecture to the cop watching him in order to provoke him into a fight, manages to defeat him and get his hands on a weapon, marches out into the station with the cop held hostage, and when asked what he wants says "I just want my phone call". The subversion is that the call triggers a bomb. | |

Resident Evil 6: Jake Muller's scenario's ending has him sending a text message to Sherry that he's dropped his price for his blood to 50 dollars. He goes even further in the secret ending, where he's seen taking an apple as payment from a kid for getting rid of some B.O.W.s. It's a pre-arranged price, too. | |

Earlier, in White Night, Harry makes several demands of Lara Raith after saving her from a horde of monsters and exposing treachery within the ranks of her court, among other things. The first few demands are serious (she will stop her subordinates from systematically murdering practitioners of magic, and release a number of The Fair Folk she has imprisoned) — and then he asks for mouthwash, because he has "a funny taste in [his] mouth" from kissing her earlier as part of a spell. Her response is apoplectic. | |

In Vampire: The Masquerade, a vampire who is owed a favor by another vampire will usually hold onto this debt for decades, using it only in the most dire circumstances. Occasionally, however, the vampire will let their debtor settle the accounts by doing some relatively minor task. In this case, the Comically Small Demand is actually an Insultingly Small Demand: essentially, the creditor is saying to the debtor, "You are so insignificant and worthless that this is all I think you're capable of doing for me, and it isn't even worth the effort to hold onto the favor for the future." | |

One member demands a Winnebago RV, another wants an international vacation, but to everyone's surprise Carl just asks for a cute NSA agent's phone number.

×××HOLiC: An internet-addicted woman asks Yuko for help to break her addiction. Yuko then cleaves her computer in half with a baseball bat. For her services, she demands... her child's perfectly ordinary booster seat. Yuko explains later that since she charges exactly what her services are worth. So, all Yuko did was break the woman's computer — she can buy a new one at any time. If she had used magic to break her addiction instead of an object lesson, she would have to charge much more for her services. | |

Chainsaw Man has many characters making pacts with Devils in exchange for various abilities. Usually, these are debilitating, or at least seriously unpleasant, such as losing a part of your body or having years shaved off your life. There are a few exceptions, however. The Fox Devil is one of the few that aren't outright hostile to humanity, and is a Villainous Glutton that makes deals with multiple humans to eat their enemies and only asks in exchange to take bites of their skin small enough to be treated with bandages. It likes Aki and according to one of the omakes will sometimes settle for just his hair as the offering. When Aki goes to the Future Devil, in exchange for Combat Clairvoyance it only asks that it be allowed to reside in his right eye and see everything it does. Naturally, this isn't the Future Devil being nice; rather, it's that it has predicted Aki will die in a horrible fashion and it wants a front-row seat for when it happens which it then uses to escape custody. |

The New Statesman has a case of the demander simply being too stupid to understand what he ought to be asking; Piers Fletcher-Dervish has finally been given some actual power, and demands a bribe from Alan in exchange for information that has the potential to substantially increase Alan's (already considerable) wealth. After dramatically declaring that he wants his share of the dirty money floating around, he demands "One. Pound. Fifty... Cash!" Alan manages to keep a straight face as he "reluctantly" hands over the bribe, and Piers promptly grabs it as if he were afraid Alan was going to snatch it back. | |

In Ghost Trick one of the inmates at the prison took the police commissioner hostage with a flame-thrower. When asked what he wanted, he paused to think, then demanded a curry dinner. He then torched the office when his curry was too spicy. It turns out this was actually because he was being controlled by an outside force to destroy documents in the office, rather than any reason of his own. | |

Morganon, embarrassed by such a request, tries to offer him his own country but Cubby refuses to budge. Morganon compromises with giving him the power to make anything he wants disappear, thus allowing him to get rid of the chickens for himself. Morganon later becomes a laughing stock and teams up with the Ghostbusters to break the deal with Cubby. | |

In Men at Arms, after Carrot learns of his royal heritage, he requests a private audience with Vetinari. Initially, all Carrot asks for is a replacement dart board, but then it's subverted when he goes on to describe his ambitious plans for the expansion of the Watch. Since this is still less than he was expected to be asked fornote Carrot could not more obviously be the rightful heir to the throne of Ankh-Morpork, but he's perfectly happy being a copper — so much so that he actually disposes of the evidence proving his birthright himself, and is of course good for the city, Vetinari agrees. | |

Once Upon a Time in Mexico: Cheech Marin's character Belini asks Agent Sands for a smaller bribe, $10,000 instead of the $50,000 Sands initially offered. An amused Sands skips the traditional briefcase and brings it in a lunchbox. When Sands asks him why he went down, Belini explains that $50,000 was a lot of money for what Sands was asking for, and he recognizes that Sands might very well kill him instead of handing over the cash. He decides that $10,000 is a "reasonable" fee, something they both can live with, and not big enough that Sands would kill him over it. Sands muses that $10,000 might still be too much, but before their final deal is concluded Sands has to kill Belini for a completely unrelated matter. | |

They eventually defeat Mermaid Man, and Barnacle Boy makes his demands. Instead of world domination (as Man-Ray suggested) or making Mermaid Man eat dirt (as the Dirty Bubble suggested), Barnacle Boy simply demands to be called Barnacle Man and to eat an adult-sized Krabby Patty, after which he reverts back to being a superhero. Even lampshaded by a frustrated Man-Ray. "Was that it?!" | |

In Changeling: The Lost, one way Changelings replenish their magic is by making deals. The deals themselves can involve any goods/services, mundane or otherwise — it's the act itself that's important. This can cause problems with humans unaware of The Masquerade, who naturally wonder why that strange unlicensed exterminator will clear all the insects out of their house for just a cheap trinket. There's also the fact that when a normal human breaks a fae bargain, the Wyrd will often punish the mortal by causing him to stumble into the Hedge and get caught by the True Fae. No changeling would wish that fate on anyone, so they try to ensure that the bargains they make are extremely easy to keep. | |

In Person of Interest, it is revealed that the amount of money Harold Finch and his partner asked of the U.S. Government to create the Machine was $1 (that's right — a single dollar. They were already living large as tech moguls in the Fiction 500 bracket). This leads to a hilarious moment in a later flashback when a CIA officer gets angry at hearing that the Machine will be a Black Box (it will surveil all electronic traffic in America, but the government will not have any access to this feed nor it will be able to reprogram the Machine in any way) and demands this feature to be changed or he will see that all funding of the project get pulled... and when he hears how much the project is costing the government, he does a double-take. A similar example of this trope happens when Finch asks mob boss Elias to remove a bounty on their current protectee. Elias agrees, as long as Finch agrees to play chess with him. |

In an episode of NYPD Blue a suspect promises to confess his crime (a rather grisly murder) for two 2-liter bottles of Coke. It has to be Coke though: not Pepsi, not RC, not Diet Coke. | |

The Wire: in "Sentencing", after being arrested Wee-bey, a longtime hitman for a massive drug empire, demands some take-out food to confess all of the murders he's ever committed. Given that he's already facing a life sentence at best for a different crime he's being charged with, he has nothing to lose by confessing, and prison food sucks. | |

Happens to Dunk in The Hedge Knight when an attempt to protect a lowborn puppeteer from an evil prince lands him in a public Trial by Combat to prove his innocence. When he tries to recover his shield for the trial, a smith at the tournament reveals to him that he's got Dunk's shield and has reinforced it and added a brand new steel rim. When Dunk asks him what he owes him for the work, the smith just smiles and replies "for you? A copper.". | |

Hero Oh Hero: Played straight and later subverted. First Burk agrees to help a town with its bandit problem in exchange for... being allowed to use the guy who asked him's bathroom (he'd have done it for nothing, but he really needed to go). The subversion comes when The Aristocrat defeats a bandit and asks for nothing in return but his clothes repaired, whatever his medal's pointing at and... a statue of himself erected in the middle of the town. | |

In The Science of Discworld, the Elf Queen tries to bribe Rincewind with his heart's desire. However, due to a previous incident involving Rincewind being stuck on an island for too long, his only real desire is potatoes (having gotten a little, ah, "confused" between them and sex). This baffles and enrages the Queen, and she stomps off, but had she actually provided some potatoes, she might've had Rincewind; he shouts after her he'd be happy with a bag of crisps. Humorously, this started out as Rincewind concentrating on potatoes so the Elf Queen couldn't read his mind and find out what the wizards' plan was, but shifted into "I want potatoes" pretty quickly. | |

South Park: In "Die Hippie Die," a group of hippies invades South Park, and the only person capable of dealing with them is Cartman, who's in jail for an earlier stunt. All of the adults in town gather to ask him for help and try bribing him with a cake, but he demands something even more precious: a remote control Tonka bulldozer, batteries included. As part of the deal, Cartman says that Kyle can never be allowed to have a Tonka truck of his own and has to watch him play with the toy. The adults agree, and, once the day is saved, the episode ends with Cartman happily having fun with his bulldozer and refusing to let Kyle take a turn with it. | |

Payback: Porter launches a one-man war against the mob to recover his $70,000 share of a $130,000 heist that his mob-connected partner stole from him. As the damage Porter is doing starts to add up, and he finds himself dealing with multiple hits put out on him by more than one criminal syndicate, people start to become sure that Porter is after more than a mere $130,000. Porter keeps correcting them that he only wants the original $70,000 he was owed, which makes people even more shocked. As one of the mob bosses exclaims, "What do you mean it's only seventy? Seventy thousand?! Hell, my suits are worth more than that!" | |

Near the end of Skin Game, Harry asks the mercenary Goodman Grey how much he owes him. Harry had hired him to go along with Nicodemus's plan to rob Hades (for which Nicodemus was going to pay him 2 million dollars plus any loot Grey could grab from the vault they were hitting to which Nicodemus estimated could be about $20 million) then betray him, and they got into a fight with three fallen angels possessing dangerous entities and nearly been killed, before riding him miles through Chicago, so Harry is expecting the price to be something truly formidable. He charges him one US dollar. That's still more than he can give right then. | |

Family Guy: In "Death Is a Bitch", Death comes to collect Peter, but sprains his ankle, so Peter is forced to take over Death's job while Lois nurses him back to health. Lois takes the opportunity to ask Death to spare her husband; Death agrees, but says "you've got to do something for me." Lois hesitantly begins unbuttoning her shirt, only for Death to clarify that he only wants her to get him a fruit cup from the kitchen. Subverted in another episode where Peter's house becomes a sovereign nation (It's a Long Story) and he is discussing the terms of his surrender to the United States of America with Mayor West. After his other comically small demands (surrendering if he will be allowed to keep his neighbor's pool, for one) are denied, he hurriedly asks West to hand over the ballpoint pen he's holding just so he won't walk away empty-handed. Mayor West points out that it's a dime-a-hundred pen and he's got a lot more in reserve, but when Peter says that he wants it anyway, West refuses to give it. In "You May Now Kiss The... Uh... Guy Who Receives", Brain holds Mayor West hostage unless he drops the Gay Marriage Ban. Since he was only going to sign the ban to distract from the Dig Em controversy, agrees to drop it since the hostage situation proved enough of a distraction. And even agrees to drop the hostage charges in exchange for the spare keys to a Volkswagen Scirocco. |

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Germans offer the Sultan of Hatay a large bribe consisting of "treasures donated by the most powerful families in Germany." The only thing that interests the Sultan, however, is the Rolls Royce that the Germans drove up in. In exchange for the car, he gives the Nazis the removal rights for the Holy Grail and even throws in an armed escort, including a tank. The novelisation fleshes this out by pointing out that the Sultan is already fabulously wealthy and has plenty of treasures of the kind being 'donated' already, and so from his perspective this is a Comically Small Bribe; he just happens to be keen on cars. | |

When they catch up to him, Torvald would rather die than make any reparation, but Becket asks if Torvald's debt could be paid off by a third party. When the collectors agree to this, it turns out Torvald owed them eighty-four gold (the which sum party sociopath Trevor regularly exceeds on booze). And after Becket pays, Torvald declares he now has a life-debt towards Becket. Interestingly, both parties recognize it's a tiny amount of money, but... | |

Boy With a Scar: Played with. When Nami makes an alliance with Luffy and Zoro in Chapter 7, they astonish her by saying that they don't care about money, and she can have whatever they find as long as she pays for their food and booze. She rightfully suspects that there's a catch, and Luffy truthfully replies that he can eat a lot while Zoro truthfully says that he can drink a lot. Nami doesn't believe it's that bad, so she accepts...and she regrets it. | |
