A character believes that they will imminently lose their self-control, and therefore takes precautions by asking another character to deny them something at all costs. That something could be an important or dangerous item, or perhaps they may even be asking for themselves to be restrained, taking away their own freedom. Often, they will add the caveat that no matter what they do or say to try and obtain that thing, and no matter how convincing they sound, they must not be allowed to have it — that is, they are pre-emptively overriding their own authority. |

Possibly the oddest version happens in Fight Club, where the protagonist's other personality sets this up. Tyler tells his moles at the police department that if he (the protagonist) shows up later to try and stop Project Mayhem, they should cut his balls off, just like they do to anyone who tries to stop the project. He also mentions in advance that he will be trying to talk them out of it and that he will try to command them to stop, and instructs them to ignore it. | |

In the episode "This Little Wiggy" of The Simpsons, Mayor Quimby arranges for a decommissioned prison to be reopened. On camera, he has himself strapped into the electric chair so he can demonstrate (through acting) what will happen to condemned criminals. He specifies that he has informed his guards not to unstrap him, no matter how agonized he appears. Unfortunately, Bart and Ralph were playing in the prison the night before, and had turned the power back on. So when the mayor's aide throws the switch... | |

Looney Tunes: Sylvester mistakes a baby kangaroo for a giant mouse. At one point asks to be locked in a box with it so he can finally catch it, giving instructions to his son not to open it so the kangaroo doesn't escape. Naturally, he gets beaten senseless, while his son admires his dad's dedication. Sylvester and his son once took upon a job chasing mice inside a ship. Trying to get out of catching the "giant mouse", Sylvester said that, since there's only one of it and several normal-sized mice, Junior should handle the giant one. After Junior tricked the "giant mouse" back into its cage, Sylvester led Junior outside the room and told him not to open the door no matter what he hears because Junior might dislike what he sees. Soon after that, a mouse Sylvester was chasing got inside a crate full of vitamins made to enhance mice muscles, and continued to pummel Sylvester inside while his son kept his promise and refused to open the door. |

In an episode of Harriet the Spy, Harriet had a plush duck toy in her youth, but decided she was too old to be playing with it. She had her nanny, Ole Golly, hide it away and promise never to reveal its location, no matter how much she begged. In the present day, with the stress of having a million tests to study for at school, as well as keeping a friend's secret from reaching Marion Hawthorne's ears, Harriet begged Ole Golly to reveal her plush toy's location, but her nanny held true to her promise to never reveal anything. Ole Golly eventually gives Harriet's plush toy back to her, saying there was no promise about just handing it back if asked. | |

Camp Lazlo: In one episode, Scoutmaster Lumpus wanted some time alone, so, having been pestered by the scouts who were tying help him while he was fishing, he snaps at them that they can "help" him by not helping him at all. Later, he calls for help (because he's being attacked by a sea serpent), and Hilarity Ensues as the scouts debate whether they should 'help him by helping him' or 'help him by not helping him'. All the while as the serpent tries to eat Lumpus, who is still frantically pleading for help. In another episode, Edward fakes a yeti attack on the air, and when the Jelly Beans rush to help him out, he says he took care of the situation. Next evening, he insists that everybody stays in their cabins and don't come into the radio station "because it's too dangerous" (and so he could fake another attack). Before long, real yetis invade the radio station and Edward is screaming for help. Fortunately everyone rushed in this time, even though the platypus wasn't in any danger at all. |

In Peep Show, lovable stoner Super Hans demands that Mark refuse to give him any drugs, even if he turns up at the door brandishing a block of wood. A subversion, in that when Super Hans actually does turn up at the door brandishing a block of wood, Mark hands over the drugs immediately and without further comment. | |

Captain Planet and the Planeteers: In the episode "The Unbearable Blightness Of Being", Gaia and Doctor Blight are in a "Freaky Friday" Flip. However, Blight didn't tell her assistant, MAL, of her Evil Plan, due to being angry with him at the time. As such, he doesn't question a single word when before switching back, Gaia-as-Blight instructs him to do a bunch of eco-friendly things, no matter how much she tells him to stop later. | |

Comedic example: In Young Frankenstein, Frederick locks himself in a room with his newly re-captured Monster in order to counsel it and gain its trust. He gives his assistants explicit instructions not to interfere or let him out of the room, no matter how much he begs them to. It takes the doctor all of three seconds to change his mind once the Monster wakes up and starts approaching him. In the end, it works out exactly according to plan. Frederick's friends still refuse to let him out... and then he manages to talk the Monster round anyway. |

In an episode of King of the Hill, Dale asks to be locked in a small vent with a raccoon so that he can capture/kill it. Dale orders Hank and the others not to let him out until it is subdued, no matter how much he begs and screams. Naturally, once he's locked in there, he begins begging and screaming to be let out. Hank lets him (and the raccoon) out, and Dale chides him with, "I give you one little thing to do, and you screw it up." | |

Kung Pow! Enter the Fist has a variant, in that it's not that the begging was ignored, it was never even done. Chosen One, attempting to emulate Betty's ability to No-Sell attacks, tells a group of peasants to hit him repeatedly with sticks (including repeated Groin Attacks) until he gives the signal, or throws them dramatically off of his body. Chosen One is so badly hurt by the first blows that he's unable to give the signal to stop, so despite his obvious distress the peasants just keep going. They beat him into unconsciousness, and then spend over a minute pummeling his limp body. | |

Lilo & Stitch: The Series "Sample": Gantu learns of Experiment 258 (an alien that can repeat any sound it hears very much like a recorder). As he leaves to find and catch the experiment, Gantu (having been listening to confidence self-help tapes) commands 625 to not let him back in the ship unless he's captured the experiment, "no matter what I say, no matter how much I implore you". However, Gantu comes across two alien hunters and he flees back to the ship and bangs on the door in desperation, but 625 won't let him in because of what Gantu instructed him earlier. | |

Legion of Super-Heroes: In "Brain Drain", Brainiac 5 locks himself in a containment chamber and makes this request when concerned that an interface with other Coluans will make him dangerously unstable. Which it does, but when things go wrong the Legion breaks him out of the chamber anyway. But that all takes a backseat to the Find the Cure! plot. Another version occurs later when Brainiac 1.0 starts to influence his actions. He asks Superman to destroy him if he goes crazy. |

Even though she knows she shouldn't love him, she does. So she orders Raoul to save her from herself and take her to some foreign country where Erik will never find her no matter how much she resists or protests later.

A variation happens in Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. Lunella has an important test to take at school, so she locks Devil Dinosaur in her secret lair and commands her robot companions to keep him restrained no matter how he acts. Then her body-swapping power activates at the start of the test and swaps her mind with DD's. She tries to get the robots' attention, but they ignore her as she requested. | |

Mystique is in play, so he has good reason for that order— Not that it matters, as Mystique doesn't even come near the room before Magneto triggers the guards' grenades.

In the Arthur episode, Brain Gets Hooked, The Brain becomes hooked on a TV show called Junior Island. It gets to the point that he has to beg Arthur and Buster to hold onto a key for him that locks away a key in a cabinet that locks away a drawer in the kitchen containing a DVD of ''Junior Island'' just so he won't get distracted from his schoolwork. He tells them no matter what he does or says, do not return the key to him until the next day and this responsibility falls to Buster. It isn't long before Brain is on his knees begging Buster to disregard what he said earlier and give him back the key. Buster falls for the obvious Look Behind You trick and Brain snatches the key from Buster. It turns out Brain made it even more complex, hiding keys in unorthodox places like the Rubik Cube. It takes Fern to snap him out of his obsession with the show. | |

Seinfeld: Jerry asks Kramer to get rid of the number of a girl he can't stop seeing. Kramer tears up the number, but when Jerry begs for it back Kramer angrily throws down the torn up pieces of the number and calls him out on it. Kramer does this again in "The Hamptons" when Jerry's girlfriend asks him not to let her have lobster because she's a Straw Vegetarian. Later that night, Kramer catches her trying to sneak-eat the leftover lobster and stops her from relapsing. |

Happened in the comic strip Bloom County when Steve Dallas enlisted Opus' help in quitting cigarettes. He lasted 38 minutes before saying "give me a %$#*& cigarette before I stick you in a blender." Opus refuses, and Dallas quickly goes Axe-Crazy on him. | |

In Earth X Captain America gave the Black Panther the reality-controlling Cosmic Cube after taking it away from the Red Skull. When a mind-controlling teen starts taking over the world, he returns to ask for it back, but the Panther refuses, just as Cap asked. Later, in Universe X, the Panther also refuses Captain Mar-Vell, but hands the Cube over when Mar-Vell reveals that he's been subconsciously using it himself. Oops. | |

An episode of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide had Ned asking Gordy to lock him in the janitor's closet and not let him out until he finished his homework. However, Gordy opens the closet every single time Ned starts begging as a Secret Test of Character, at one point even unlocking the door before Ned says anything ("...I panicked."). Finally, Gordy decides to lock himself in the closet with Ned so he can't unlock the closet. Right after he slides the key under the door, the two of them realize they're locked in a closet they can't get out of. | |

In a slight subversion, Alfred asks to let him out early, but Batman refuses. When he finally emerges, he's wearing the Beard of Sorrow, but is, nevertheless, magnificent. | |

Robert California tells Andy that his wife wants a job at the Dunder-Mifflin office, but must not be hired under any circumstances. As soon as his wife is in the room, Robert California is insisting and begging that she be given a job. Hilarity Ensues. | |

A very dramatic version appears in the book and film Fail Safe (and also in its spoof Dr. Strangelove): The bombers assigned to perform deep nuclear strikes on Russia have standing orders to ignore any orders that do not have an attached acknowledging code (because those trying to communicate may be Russian spies imitating higher-ups). A variety of reasons (plain ignorance in Fail Safe, the original General Ripper being the only who knows the codes and putting his base on anti-Commie Red Alert in Strangelove) prevent said higher-ups from knowing the proper codes and thus can only try to help the Russians organise their defences and hope that none of the planes can go through (and in Fail Safe, they even try to have the remaining bomber's captain's wife talk to him, begging him to stop. The captain's Heroic BSoD-induced response is to continue the flight, reasoning that the wife had been somehow compromised). | |

When Charlie attempts to quit heroin on Lost (knowing that sooner or later he's going to run out, anyway), Locke takes his drugs and promises to only give them back if he asks for them three times. In two moments of weakness, Charlie demands his drugs back, but Locke refuses to return them. Finally, at the end of the episode, Charlie breaks down and asks for them the third time. Locke hands them over, and Charlie throws them into the fire. | |

In the Monk episode "Mr. Monk Visits a Farm", Monk catches Jimmy Belmont setting his illegal marijuana crop on fire. He runs away as the smoke gets very strong. We cut to Randy's farmhand Oates finding Monk handcuffing himself to a tractor as he believes he has inhaled reefer. He appears to have a full panic attack, even saying the trope page quote here, but then instantly sobers up when the sprinklers come on and drench him, prompting him to have the "Eureka!" Moment that solves the case. | |

A more serious take on this occurs in the sixth book of Animorphs. Jake has been taken over by an alien invader that has complete control over his body and full access to his memories, and the rest of the group decide to tie him up until it starves to death. The fact that Jake doesn't do the whole "No matter what I say" routine cements in their minds that he truly has been taken over: the real Jake would want to make sure, beyond a doubt, that the Yeerk was killed. | |

In the second season of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Saiou, a villain who suffers from Split Personality from the influence of the Light of Ruin, gains control of a Doomsday Device that is activated by two keys. Before he can activate it, his true, benign personality struggles with his evil side, and in a rare moment when his good side dominates completely, gives one key to Judai and the other to Edo Phoenix, telling both never to give them back to him no matter what. Naturally, his malignant personality regains control shortly, and the rest of the season is focused on him trying to steal them back or convert the two to his side. | |

Howard immediately asks for it, but Carter sticks to his orders, until Howard becomes so desperate he offers Carter a day off, which he hasn't had for forty years. Carter says the jar is fastened to Howard's back, and then takes his day off, leaving Howard to remove it himself. | |

In an episode of That's My Bush!, Dubya accidentally takes some ecstasy pills (thinking they were aspirin) and instructs Princess to lock him in a bedroom and not let him out no matter what so he won't be able to mess up the anti-drug conference taking place at the White House. Unfortunately, she ends up letting him out. That's right. She's dumb enough to be tricked by a high President. Dubya did display a tiny bit of savvy before the drugs took effect, though. As soon as The Ditz closed the door, Dubya started screaming "HELP! PRINCESS! OH GOD IT'S HORRIBLE!". She immediately opens the door and comes face to face with a smug looking Dubya saying "No...that's what I told you NOT to do!" |

ALF had a pretty good example of version 2 in its first season. Every 75 years, all Melmacians go through a day of unpredictable madness and for everyone's safety have to be locked in a cage for the duration. Before being locked up, Alf warned the Tanners that he'd say anything in order to get them to release him, and then spent much of the episode doing exactly that, though in his case he used guile and trickery rather than pleading — at one point even imitating the kids' voices to perfection to make it seem they were locked in there with him. Eventually, he managed to fool Brian into thinking his madness was over, even though the day wasn't, by claiming that the days were shorter on Melmac. | |

The Silver Chair: Inverted. The Prince has to be tied to a chair because he's about to have an episode of madness, and he orders Puddleglum and the kids not to free him no matter what he says. Once tied up, he begs to be released in the name of Aslan. The protagonists have to let him loose, because they’ve previously been instructed to honor any request “in my (Aslan’s) name�. Correctly, it turns out, because he was Not Himself before; at the same hour every day when he is tied to the chair, he is in his right mind, and letting him go broke the spell. | |

In a 1952 Mickey Mouse Sunday comic, Pluto finds a small statue and digs up the yard trying to bury it. Mickey scolds Pluto and orders him not to dig under any circumstances, only for him to see in the newspaper that the statue is missing from the museum and that a $500 reward is being promised for its return. The last panel has Mickey digging holes well into the night, while Pluto smugly obeys what he'd been told. | |

This happened as a matter of course in early seasons Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as Oz's lycanthropy turned him into a Cold Blooded Jelly Doughnut. Further, a similar situation crops up for Xander in The Pack, when he is imbued via Primal ritual with the spiritual essence of a psychotic hyena. In the seventh and last season, Spike eventually realizes The First Evil is taking over his mind and causing him to eat people again despite his now having a soul. Early in the episode "Never Leave Me" he orders Buffy to tie him to a chair to keep others from harm: "I get free, someone's gonna die." |

The Mask: Not wanting his alter ego to become Mayor, Stanley instructed Milo to hide the mask and not tell him where it was until the election was over. Stanley would later learn Pretorius was the opposing candidate. Can you believe Stanley would try this again in a later episode? | |

Friends: Monica tells Joey not to let her open any more of her wedding presents until Chandler gets home. Five seconds later she asks for another one. In a subversion Joey immediately complies. He's no fool; she's a proven obsessive-compulsive with freakish upper-body strength. In another episode, Chandler tells Phoebe and Rachel he's thinking of calling a girl he's split up with. They think it's a good idea. And the one where Pheobe charged Monica with stopping her calling Mike, because they both know there's no future in the relationship. In the end, Mike's impassioned speech impresses Monica so much she encourages them to get back together, much to the disgust of the guy Mike had asked to keep them apart. |

In Naruto: the Secret Songs of the Ninja, Naruto and Kakashi are captured by an enemy ninja who attempts to extract information about Konoha's military capabilities from Kakashi by torturing Naruto in front of him. He fails because Naruto tells Kakashi to absolutely not give in no matter how much he screams, even if the torture breaks him. Naruto ultimately NEVER breaks or begs for mercy. | |

Spongebob Squarepants The trope namer and page quote is the episode "The Paper," in which Squidward throws away a gum wrapper, and Spongebob takes it and asks Squidward if he wants it back. Squidward gets fed up after a while and tells Spongebob the quote at the top. Cue Spongebob doing all sorts of weird and amazing things with said paper and Squidward eventually trading away everything he owns to get the paper back. Only to find out that he can't do anything Spongebob did with it. Also, "Krusty Love" where Mr. Krabs gives SpongeBob his wallet and instructs him not to give it to him while he's on his date with Mrs. Puff. Before the date even starts, Krabs is begging him to buy something. When SpongeBob gives in and brings it, Krabs berates him for spending all his money. It goes back and forth for a while until SpongeBob snaps, gives Mr. Krabs a manic tirade, and leaves. In the comic "Great Grandma", Squidward, embarrassed to be invited over to his grandma's house, makes Spongebob promise to pretend he doesn't exist for a month, that the visit will last three minutes, that she's not allowed to play any music, and that he won't eat anything she cooks. Then he finds that he actually really likes Spongebob's grandmother, has a lot in common with her, and forgets that he made all of these promises with Spongebob. He doesn't get punished as harshly for breaking these promises but the sight of Spongebob's unmoisturised grandmother makes him faint. |

In the episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation "Clues" the entire crew, apart from Data, had their memory erased by aliens who didn't want their existence known. Picard orders Data never to tell the rest of the crew what had happened. It doesn't quite work out as planned due to several pieces of evidence that show that they were missing a day, so they end up going back to the aliens' region of space. The end up convincing the aliens to erase their memories again only this time they are more careful about not leaving any evidence of the missing time. | |
