Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })An occasion is coming up. It may be Christmas, it may be someone's birthday, or it might be a completely different occasion, maybe even a made-up one, but it's an occasion for which this character (who's usually a kid although not always) can expect a gift. So they begin writing a wish list or someone asks what they want or they simply say what they want... and it's something outlandish. Alternatively, there's no special occasion, but they're asking for something outlandish anyway, or it's a traditional opportunity for wishing, like a shooting star, and their wish is ridiculous. It could be outlandish for many reasons. For example, it might be impractical (e.g. asking for a pony when they live in an apartment), or it might be extremely hard to obtain (e.g. asking for the Statue of Liberty), not exist (e.g. asking for a unicorn), or the character might be too young to use it (e.g. a six-year-old asking for a car). Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This trope can be downplayed by having the character ask for a normal pet like a cat or a dog (slightly less ludicrous, but a bit hard to keep secret and it's generally considered a bad idea to give pets as gifts on special occasions because of the commitment), or something that can easily be given as a gift, but it's rather unusual that they'd want it (for example, asking for a rock). In order for it to qualify as this trope, though, it has to be strange in-universe. If a kid asks for a unicorn but it's in a setting where unicorns are commonly given as gifts, then it's not an example of this trope. The reason why it's commonly a kid is probably because kids (especially those under seven) generally haven't developed the reasoning abilities to understand that they're probably not going to get their bizarre wish (an adult or teen may still want a jet pack, for instance, but they're old enough to realise it ain't happening, so they don't bother asking for it). Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })If a kid asks for something peculiar for Christmas that's particularly large, someone may ask, "How is Santa Claus going to fit that on his sleigh?!".note Magic, presumably. He almost certainly has some kind of infinite storage space, considering he has no problem carrying enough gifts for every child on Earth. As for the outcome of the Ludicrous Gift Request, it depends on the story. Sometimes, it'll just be forgotten. Sometimes, the character will get a "lesser version" of their wish, for example a kid who wanted a dragon might get a toy one. Sometimes, they may even get their wish. If the kid does not get their wish, they're generally either sad, angry (typically if they're a Spoiled Brat but non-spoiled children sometimes get angry at this too), or not disappointed at all, because they're happy with what they got. Contrast Wasteful Wishing and Mundane Wish. Can overlap with All Girls Like Ponies if a woman or girl asks for a pony and it's seen as a "girl thing". Truth in Television for many kids. Examples: |

One year, his Christmas list is so large it has to be broken up into alphabetized segments, the first of which covers items from A to G - "Atom Bomb through Grenade Launcher".

In a MAD Magazine piece, parents are watching as their kid writes "I want a horse" in a letter to Santa. (Dollar signs appear above dad's head, implying they will go along.) Sure enough, come Xmas morning, a live horse is peeking through the living room window, while a saddle, a sack of oats, etc. is found under the tree. The final panel has dad taking the horse out while the kid shows it off to his friends, explaining that he only wanted a toy rocking-horse-on-springs, but look what he actually got! (As dad's expression says "oops") | |

In one Litterbox Comics strip, Vincent's Christmas list includes a fire-breathing dragon, a full-size train, snowballs, a bulldozer to destroy the house, Hogwarts, 12 million wishes, and "denim chicken". When Fran says she isn't sure Santa can get these, and she doesn't even know what "denim chicken" means, Vincent replies "He's magic! He'll know." | |

Miracle on 34th Street: Susan is a young girl who does not believe in Santa, due to her mother's upbringing. Kris Kringle claims to be Santa. So when he insists that she tell him what she wants for Christmas, she gives him one of these: she wants a new house, a father (her parents are divorced), and a baby brother. Kris Lampshades how ludicrous the request is, especially since there's only a month before Christmas, and Susan replies that she's well-aware. She doesn't actually expect him to do it, but says if he's really Santa Claus, it shouldn't be beyond his power. Somehow, he does end up getting her what she asks for... well, minus the baby brother, but Susan assumes that one's on the way. | |

Downplayed in "We Wish That Today was Christmas", a parody of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" using the kids from Rugrats for Phil, Lil, Angelica, and Chuckie's requests. Phil and Lil want worms and while Angelica and Chuckie's requests (namely money and a nightlight respectively) are pretty normal, they are taken to ludicrous extremes: Angelica wants a truckload of money and Chuckie wants a bajillion-watt nightlight. | |

The Fairly OddParents!: Inverted in "Merry Wishmas"; during the song "Not On The List", everyone laments that they didn't get anything they asked for for Christmas, and instead just got random things. Most of the asked for gifts were pretty reasonable (cash, eggnog, a dress), while the received gifts were quite unusual (a talking horse, a shaver for back hair, a trashcan...). | |

One episode of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 has Bowser's Bratty Teenage Daughter, Kootie Pie, ask for America as a birthday present, even using her patented Tantrum Throwing when her father reminds her that America's in the Real World. Being a shining case of Daddy's Little Villain, she eventually gets her wish, via the White House itself being thrown into an ocean in the Mushroom Kingdom thanks to a gadget on the Doomship. The success is short-lived though, as Mario and Luigi soon hijack the Doomship and use the same gadget to return the White House to its proper place, where Kootie Pie happened to be napping at the time. | |

In Brawl in the Family, for one of the Christmas songs, Ganondorf sings about wanting the Triforce as a gift (to the tune of "All I Want for Christmas Is You"). As he would use its power to destroy and/or conquer Hyrule, he doesn't get it. In a later comic, Ganondorf finally gets the Triforce as a gift in a secret Santa exchange. Zelda is pissed... Not because of the impending doom to Hyrule, but because everyone agreed on a $20 limit. | |

The Little Bear cartoon features an episode called "Little Bear's Wish", which is based on the book story. Like the book story, it involves him wishing for a cloud to sit on and a Viking boat, but instead of wishing for a tunnel to China, he wishes to meet a princess and when he imagines meeting her, she lives in a place which resembles China. Also, instead of saying he can't have his wishes, his parents shoehorn something bedtime-related onto his wishes since it's meant to be bedtime (for instance, when he wishes for a cloud, they talk about him sleeping on it). | |
