The single most powerful deterrent to kidnapping in all fiction (and certainly in the mundane category) is to be so annoying that the kidnapper requires an active force of will to keep their sanity. What makes them annoying isn't important. In truly bizarre cases, the kidnappers can be annoyed because their victim insists on being kind, upbeat, and forgiving even through torture. The point is, nobody wants to be around them and that ransom note looks increasingly unimportant as compared to the promise of not having to deal with the Anthropomorphic Personification of "damned pest" day in and day out. This can lead to an especially awkward situation when it turns out that the extortee doesn't want the hostage back. Expect much comedy to abound in this scenario, in part because a sufficiently vicious kidnapper would not get in this situation in the first place. Foiled by niceness once again, it seems. This trope is a fairly old one. O. Henry's famous example "The Ransom of Red Chief" executes this trope using a pair of kidnappers (and a particularly bratty kid as the "victim") back in 1910, and there are stories, jokes, and folk tales going back to the Middle Ages and beyond of someone who escapes damnation because the Devil Himself doesn't want to deal with her (and it was almost always a her, because the Middle Ages were like that). It's fairly common for this trope to be invoked if the captive is particularly Genre Savvy or cunning. Subversions, aversions, and defiances of this Trope usually (although not universally) involve the kidnapper hitting a Rage Breaking Point and demonstrating how much of a bad idea this was, being unrelentingly evil in the face of said annoyance, or the hostage finding out the hard way that whatever is the final objective of the kidnapper they don't need to be alive (or at least conscious) for it to be achieved. Compare Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth, where the captive is intolerable even to the most hardened captor, Prefer Jail to the Protagonist, where the villain is forced to flee from the hero's presence even if it means being re-incarcerated, and Talking the Monster to Death, where the captive directly challenges the captor's beliefs and motivations. Contrast Poisonous Captive, who insidiously subverts and undermines the captors. If you pity the kidnappers because they're about to get their asses kicked by the kidnappee, then that's Mugging the Monster. Also compare Defiant Captive, who is more 'uncooperative' than simply 'annoying'. See also Sick Captive Scam, which is another trope that works better when the captors don't want any harm to come to the captive. Not to be confused with Stockholm Syndrome, in which the kidnappee develops pity/amicability with the kidnapper; Contrast Lima Syndrome, in which the kidnapper actually starts to like or feel sympathy for the victim. |

One episode of Beverly Hills Teens, Bianca tries to play a Wounded Gazelle Gambit to get Troy's attention by arranging a fake kidnapping. Unfortunately, an actual criminal overhears the conversation and kidnaps her for real. Soon, it becomes apparent that the episode isn't titled "Take My Hostage, Please!" for nothing. | |

In an episode from BlackBoxTV (a serious horror example of this trope), a couple kidnap a young girl with the intent to force her family to pay for her back, but then don't hear anything. No police report, no callback on their ransom, nothing. The couple, a man who does have some level of moral compass and a woman with a drug habit and surly attitude, begin becoming frustrated. Eventually, the kidnapped girl turns the tables, using her supernatural powers to lock the woman in her bedroom and viciously attack her with a supernatural teddy bear with razor teeth and sharp claws. The kidnapped girl then forces both the man and woman to become her "perfect parents", acting like a nuclear family out of the '50s. Should they refuse, the kidnapped girl will kill them both with her powers. It is essentially implied that the parents of the girl didn't want her back as this was the life they were forced to live as well, and likely split the second they were free. | |

TaleSpin: In the episode "Molly Coddled", Molly, dressed as her hero Danger Woman, is kidnapped by two gangsters, whom she repeatedly kicks in the shins and raises a ruckus over until help arrives. This defense technique is also used by her against the antagonist, smooth-talking Covington, in a getaway earlier in the episode. Baloo's pal Louie has an aunt who, in "The Ransom of Red Chimp", is abducted by Don Karnage... and proceeds to drive him up the wall when she develops a crush on him. At the time of the abduction, Karnage demands thousands in ransom. By the time Baloo and Louie arrive to "rescue" Louise, the ransom has dropped to five bucks, and when it turns out that Louie didn't bring his wallet, Karnage pays him five bucks to take her. |

Angel combines this one with Enfante Terrible in "I've Got You Under My Skin": after discovering a young boy is possessed by a demon, Angel Investigations exorcises it and then tracks its physical form down to kill it... a fate the demon welcomes, as the little boy was so evil by himself that the demon found himself trapped in a hellish mindscape for years. | |

An episode of Grimm has a Wesen with a grudge against Sean Renard kidnap his young daughter Diana. When the kidnapper first calls Renard, the latter starts to panic at first, then he remembers that Diana is the most powerful Hexenbiest in history and no moral qualms about torture and murder. So, the next several times the kidnapper calls, Sean reacts very casually, doing everyday things, such as going out for a jog, figuring the guy will eventually beg him to take Diana back. Yeah, that's exactly what happens, and Diana even asks Sean if she can come back and "play" some more with the guy later, much to the horror of the kidnapper, who has been beaten to a pulp by the girl's Mind over Matter abilities. | |

Weeds: Celia Hodes is kidnapped by her daughter and her boyfriend the rebel leader. They intend to ransom her, but no one is interested. They then plan to sell off her organs for cash but find out she's had chemotherapy so no one will want them. Celia then "makes herself useful" e.g. by organizing the rebels' firearms, but manages to provoke a fight between her daughter and the rebel leader, breaking up their relationship. The daughter leaves, and the rebel leader lets Celia go. | |

At the end of the Looney Tunes short "The Whole Idea", an inventor finally tires of his stereotypically shrewish wife's nagging and drops her down one of the "portable holes" he'd invented. It apparently leads all the way to Fire and Brimstone Hell, as there's a burst of flame and then a mopey-looking demon appears, hauling her out by the collar of her blouse and asking the inventor, "Isn't it bad enough down here without her?" | |

One episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) had Shredder kidnap a teenage girl who was the young president of an explosives firm (he wanted their recipe for a powerful explosive). She refused to talk, so he tries to use a device that reads thoughts and emotions in an attempt to extract the recipe out of her. The girl, however, was an extreme brat who overloaded the machine with incessant complaints. Subverted in that she was eventually threatened with force to divulge, so she spills, but in the chaos of the Turtles rescuing her, there was no time to test it, allowing the girl to get away with one last insult: she had given the wrong recipe. | |

The Nac Mac Feegle, a race of belligerent, six-inch tall, red-haired, kilt-wearing blue men (also known as pictsies) were rumoured to have been thrown out of Fairyland for being drunk and disorderly. This trope is even more perfectly exemplified in Wintersmith, the third book featuring them, where they accompany the young man Roland to the Underworld to rescue the goddess Summer. Roland gets across the river Styx by paying The Ferryman, who readers may find familiar, the classical two pennies, but when he retrieves Summer and wants to cross back the other way, the Ferrier demands another sixpence, which Roland doesn't have. However, when the Feegles say that if Roland stays, they're obligated to stay with him, the ferryman quickly changes his mind and lets them go. | |

My Little Pony: My Little Pony 'n Friends: In "The Great Rainbow Caper", Danny and Surprise are held for ransom by the Gizmonks, two Mad Scientist monkeys who want to get their paws on the Rainbow of Light so they can study it. Danny manages to flatter the Gizmonks into letting them out of their cage, then he and Surprise proceed to screw with their inventions, free their test animals, and generally make a mess of the Gizmonks' lab. The episode ends with the Gizmonks fleeing their ruined lab and begging Megan to take the hostages back. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "A Dog and Pony Show", Rarity gets kidnapped by a pack of Diamond Dogs who seek to exploit her ability to find gems and put her to work digging them up and hauling them around. She proceeds to drive them up the wall with her whining, crying, and complaints. When Rarity's friends come to her rescue, the Dogs are all too willing to let Rarity leave, with all the gems she'd found for them. Turns out Rarity was doing it on purpose, too. |

Manehattan's Lone Guardian: When Gray's family gets abducted, Fiver and Zig-Zag avert the trope by being well-behaved. However, Ebony and Pure Energy play this straight: the former doesn't hesitate to speak her mind and behave like a typical Manehattan teenager, forcing her father to hold her back and keep one of the kidnappers from getting angry, and the latter gives his kidnapper the run-around and ultimately escapes his confinement. | |

On Hawaii Five-0, a pair of kidnappers are abducting the teenage daughters of a rich private school for ransom. The cops are thrown to find their bodies in a van and figure their latest victim must have gotten lucky and gotten away. As it happens, the "schoolgirl" is actually a North Korean spy who had been posing as a teenager to get closer to a local Army Intelligence officer. Too late, her captors realized they were dealing with a very lethal agent. | |

Star Wars Adventures: In the comic "Roger Roger," a malfunctioning B1 droid gains a personality mid-battle, which prompts the Separatists to capture him and attempt to dismantle him to identify both the cause of the problem and if it could be beneficial to their forces. As a newfound individual, this battle droid, incidentally named Bats, does not want to be taken apart and studied... so he rips the arm off another battle droid and begins beating the other droids with it. Obi-Wan stages a rescue for Bats, but as it turns out, Bats is doing just fine—it's the other droids who are only too happy for Obi-Wan to take him and never come back, including one unfortunate and unhappy survivor, a Tactical Droid whom Bats spends an extra-long time beating up (possibly out of spite for the Tac-Droid suggesting they disassemble Bats). |

In the Enchanted Forest Chronicles, Herman the dwarf is really tired of helping girls spin straw into gold and then claiming their firstborn children along with a share of the cash. It's not that he doesn't like the children, it's just that they're expensive to feed, forcing him to run the same dodge all over again to get more money. His dialogue implies he's long since stopped trying to kidnap children; first he legally changed his name to Herman to make his name easy to guess (it never worked), then he tried moving out away from everybody. People still find him and keep managing to talk him into spinning more straw into gold, and he always gets stuck with more children. The children themselves are generally well-behaved, and he does like children and takes good care of them - it's the situation which is unfortunate. |

Animaniacs: Yakko and Dot challenge Death at checkers to bring Wakko back to life, with their lives at stake. Death exploits Exact Words so he can take all three of them (they asked to "be with their brother again") — but then he realizes he'll have to host the three loons in the underworld for all eternity, and he lets them go. In other episodes, they get Dracula and Satan to let them go for the same reason. They subvert their own pattern in a later episode, as this fails to work on an Army drill sergeant; he just assigns them to worse duties. That is until he can finally stand it no longer, goes insane, and becomes a camp counselor. One episode features something so horrible, even the Warner siblings can't deal with it: Baloney the Dinosaur. Even dropping multiple anvils on him only gains them a temporary respite. |

One episode of Murphy Brown had Murphy get kidnapped by a group of activists who wanted more publicity for their cause. She eventually annoyed them to the point where they let her go (The fact that everyone they tried to announce her kidnapping to either thought Murphy was pranking them or decided You Can Keep Her! didn't help). | |

This happens in an episode of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, but it's unique in that the victim intentionally tries to drive the abductor nuts. Lord Zedd gets the idea of making Kimberly his queen, so orders Goldar to kidnap her and use a spell of mind control. The first part is successful, but the spell doesn't work for some reason; so Kimberly pretends it does, doing a rather good impression of Rita, which reminds Goldar only too well how bad a temper she has. He doesn't let Kimberly go (although it is hinted he wants to), but the act does distract him long enough for Billy to find them. | |

Nodwick once had the crew greeted at a volcano cave by a dragon, with great relief. He's sick and tired of the nagging princess he's kidnapped, who keeps insisting he does things like "put the seat down"... on the volcano. Said princess turns out to be so annoying that in the following month's issue, even Piffany, a cleric with endless goodness and purity wants to kill her. | |

The Marvel Universe robot character Machine Man (Aaron Stack) was nudged toward sentience by the alien Celestials at his creation. Years later, they abducted him and took him into space. They then returned him to Earth with little explanation for their actions. Suffering from self-esteem issues, Aaron claims they returned him because they thought he was boring and obnoxious. A flashback in Nextwave (which may or may not be real) has the Celestials telling Aaron that he's a loser. Complete with L on the forehead. And they mock him further when he Wangsts about it. |

In The Life and Times of Juniper Lee episode "The World According to LARP", the demon warlord Maret told his two moronic henchmen to nab June's younger brother Ray Ray as a hostage, but they nabbed her teenage brother Dennis himself. Unfortunately for Maret, Dennis (who tends to drive even June up the wall) thought it was all part of his LARP group and his ranting gave Maret a bigger migraine worse than any of the armies, sorcerers, and dimensional hordes he had ever vanquished. (Eventually, he did get what he wanted - the Goblet of Nesteer - from him, only for June to show up and beat him senseless.) | |

The Lord of the Rings fanfic the Ransom At The Redhorn explores the situation where Elrond's wife CelebrÃan (daughter of Galadriel) is taken prisoner by Orcs. The canon tells us unspecified torments were suffered in the Orc-Den. But, as Thranduil Oropherion Redux points out, the reality of who suffered torments and who inflicted the torments might be rather different. It is noticeable Elrond was not in much of a hurry to get his wife back. | |

Polta stops talking twice, once to order them to restrain her and another after asking "excuse me a minute", when she threw something that hit him in the face.

In the Bugs Bunny cartoon Bugs and Thugs, Bugs is kidnapped by a pair of gangsters. He drives them so crazy that when the police arrive, the criminals beg the cops to arrest them to get them away from him. The same gag is used in the earlier Racketeer Rabbit. Locking the baddies in a stove, turning the gas on, and then throwing a match in to explode it is really a whole new level of "driving crazy". |

In the brief conversation that ensues, they explain that they don't need a hostage anymore, he's driving them crazy, they're not in the mood to torture him, and he should go back to the 4077th because it's the best thing he can do "to help our side." A few seasons later, Major Winchester hires a North Korean spy as a houseboy. In one of his last communications to his people, the spy replies "And in regard to kidnapping Major Winchester for questioning, forget it. He is one big jerk." |

By this time, the princess has become such a fierce fighter throwing everything short of the kitchen sink at the black knight that he is the one crying for help, and the pink knight brushes her aside with his gauntlet rescuing the Black Knight, only for the Pink Panther and Black Knight to be Chased Off into the Sunset by the king riding a dragon. | |

In Animorphs one Yeerk is practically driven insane by his own host. Said host constantly recited Henry V, so when the yeerk finds the Time Matrix the first thing he does with it is kill the inspiration for that play, just to silence him. | |

Jennifer-the-Jerk Is Missing has a group of kidnappers who can't stand their 8-year-old charge, who is a colossal Jerkass for her age, and keeps complaining and mocking everything and everybody (yes, even the people trying to save her) through the book. By the time the protagonists find Jennifer, she is notably tied to a chair and gagged, while her adult valet who was abducted with her is less restrained, even if he is nursing a severe concussion. | |

While they are in another room they listen in on the two and find out their plan of annoying the agents until they give up and release them, and the Agents gas them with Truth Serum in response. | |

An early episode of Dragon Ball GT saw Goku, transformed into a child by the Black Star Dragon Balls, get kidnapped by a gang of thugs. (Well, technically he goes along with them willingly, not realizing that they are kidnappers.) He forces them to spend all of their money on food for him, undermines their attempts to negotiate a ransom from his friends, and in the end simply flies away when it's time to go home. | |

The Boondocks had this happen twice in the episode "Let's Nab Oprah". In an attempt to kidnap Oprah Winfrey from a book signing, the bumbling duo Ed Wuncler III and Gin Rummy accidentally kidnap Maya Angelou instead. They have to dump her out of the van after she starts repeatedly kicking Gin Rummy. The two try again by breaking into Oprah's studio, but they end up going into Bill Cosby's dressing room instead. They decide to cut their losses and just kidnap him, but he's so annoying they have to let him go fifteen minutes later. | |

Tintin: Abdullah, the son of Emir Kalish Ezab, is a Spoiled Brat and an absolute terror who constantly pulls painful pranks on his captors in "Land of Black Gold", even when he's actively held at gunpoint by Dr. Mueller. This also leads to the villain's capture, as Mueller tries to shoot himself with the gun Abdullah gave him to avoid capture, but it turns out to be a squirt gun full of ink. While she isn't thrown out, Bianca Castafiore's stay in a San Theodoran prison in "Tintin and the Picaros" is very stressful on the guards, who keep coming out of her cell with spaghetti on their heads because it wasn't cooked to her liking. When she is rescued by Tintin and the revolutionaries, she wants to break into song, which is met by a hasty "No! No!" by Captain Haddock and the San Theodoran officer. |

The Rugrats episode "Ruthless Tommy" featured Tommy being kidnapped by two bumbling criminals who mistakenly believe him to be the child of a billionaire (due to them mixing up their actual target's house address). Tommy proceeds to act in his usual manner and promptly destroys their hideout. By the end of the episode, the exasperated crooks apologize frantically and return Tommy back to the Pickles before they even realized he was missing. | |

Jasmine's attempt to kidnap Matt from a casino hotel in The Affix goes way south from the outset. Having lost a few marbles already, Matt is starting to understand the probability-breaking gem he's stuck with, and uses it along with his newfound brashness to tweak her repeatedly until her eye twitches—then tries to make her other eye twitch. Then the kidnapping is interrupted by a third party and her night gets a whole lot worse. | |

In Hetalia: Axis Powers, Germany, America, England, and France have ALL, on separate occasions, tried to hold Italy prisoner. It never works out. Germany has recently taken Italy prisoner. Germany, bored out of his mind and furious that Italy doesn't even want to escape, is pushed to the limit when Italy starts singing Germany a song. The song starts out as complimentary, but it then starts to insult Germany's attitude, food, "scary tourists" and overly abrasive girls. Italy is shipped back home in a box before he is even finished singing. The Allies shipped Italy back to Germany twice, once after America captured him (although they were willing to keep him like a dog until he insulted England's cooking, at which point America immediately decided not to keep him), then again after France captured him. Both times, the box had 'FUCK' written on it, in big, bold letters. |

However, Mugman proves to be still be cheerful and hoping Cuphead will save him, even when the heat is turned up and being told his brother is dead after 80 yearsnote Though not in Hell/the Underworld, but in Heaven. By the time Cuphead reaches the Underworld, it's the Devil himself who's near broken after trying to torture Mugman all day, to his lampshaded frustration. | |

In an episode of She-Ra: Princess of Power, the title character's friend Perfuma is captured by the evil Horde. Hordak first demands that She-Ra surrender herself in exchange for Perfuma's release, but Lighthope urges her not to agree to his demands. This proves good advice. Perfuma then proceeds to annoy everyone (especially the audience) with her sing-songy voice, decorate the evil lair with flowers, and even coerce the Horde-Troopers into dancing (in a conga line). Hordak quickly changes his demands, saying She-Ra can have her back if she simply comes to get her. She still heeds Lighthope's advice, and eventually, by the end of the episode, he begs She-Ra to take her back, paying the rebels three months' worth of supplies in return. | |

Elmyra is oblivious because she believes the hideout is a TV studio for her own show and tortures the henchmen by making them do dangerous or humiliating segments. In the end, the henchmen surrender and disclose information about their boss because they want to get away from her. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants was once returned from Davey Jones' locker because the Flying Dutchman couldn't stand to have Spongebob around. The Flying Dutchman also enslaved SpongeBob and Patrick, but it turns out they were HORRIBLE minions. Unfortunately, the Flying Dutchman realized that they'd make better dinner than slaves. Not to mention "SpongeBob Meets the Strangler", where the Tattletale Strangler would rather be in prison than trying to strangle SpongeBob for ratting him out. And in another episode where Krabs lost SpongeBob in a card game to Plankton. By the end of it, Plankton paid Krabs to take him back. |

Happens a few times in the Asterix stories. In Asterix the Gladiator, Cacofonix is captured by a Roman prefect to give to Caesar as a gift. The suffering of the kidnappers only increases on their journey as they spend more and more time with Cacofonix's singing which however ends up giving them a much more effective threat than the whip for the galley slaves who promise to do their best if this inhuman torture stops, which it does in the old-fashioned way. And as for Caesar, he doesn't deserve pity either, as he is not the one guarding Cacophonix's cell but rather some poor soul of a legionary. In Asterix in Spain, Romans try to get a village of Iberians to surrender by holding the chief's son Pepe hostage. Pepe is, of course, a Bratty Half-Pint who drives the Roman soldiers guarding him up the wall, complicated by the fact that Julius ordered for no abuse or punishment against the child (in order to better indoctrinate him) and is little better when Asterix and Obelix offer to take him home to his father. |

In Pure Luck (and the original French movie La Chèvre), an extremely accident-prone woman goes on a vacation and ends up getting Easy Amnesia. A guy sees an opportunity (correctly assuming her family to be wealthy) and takes her, figuring he could get a lot of money for her return, once she remembers who she is, that is. By the time the detectives find the guy, he has lost all his money to her bad luck and is in debt to a drug dealer. He explains that he ended up passing her off to another guy. Naturally, things aren't much better for that guy either (she costs him a plane, for one). | |

Subverted on 7-Second Riddles. One of the potential solutions for a riddle involves annoying a kidnapper into freeing you, but it's the wrong answer; the correct answer is to try and befriend the kidnapper, to make it harder for them to hurt you. | |

In Strange Magic, The Bog King kidnaps the fairy princess Dawn in order to get back a love potion. Unfortunately, she's been hit with it, and falls in love with him and can't stop singing about it, driving everyone in the castle up the walls. He solves this by using her desire to please him by convincing her to go to sleep. | |

In an episode of the Josie and the Pussycats cartoon series, Melody ends up kidnapped by "the Evil Eye" and is put under Mind Control. Unfortunately for the Evil Eye, Melody is The Ditz and is completely useless as a minion - she even responds to commands with "Yes, Mustard" instead of "Yes, Master". | |

In Midnight Run, Jack is a licensed bounty hunter, not a kidnapper, but otherwise the dynamic is the same, as Mardukas annoys the bejesus out of him with his constant irritating questions. The same film showcases a defiance of this trope when rival bounty hunter Marvin gets a hold of Mardukas: Mardukas starts trying to be annoying, but Marvin just knocks him out with one punch and by the time Mardukas wakes up again, they've made it all the way to Las Vegas and Marvin has handcuffed him to a toilet and is taking pictures of him as proof he's got him so he can sell him out to The Mafia. | |

Abigail (2024) is about a group of crooks who kidnap the twelve-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, only for her to turn out to be a vampire, who promptly gets loose and starts murdering her kidnappers. What's more, she orchestrated the entire thing as her own little game, and selected her "kidnappers" because they were all people who'd gotten on the wrong side of her father, who is very strongly implied to be Dracula. | |

In Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle begins with Princess Syalis being taken hostage by the Demon king. It doesn't go well for the demons, with the Princess constantly escaping her cell and wreaking havoc all over the castle in her quest to obtain bedding materials. As time goes on, it becomes increasingly clear that she could easily escape the castle whenever she wants, but doesn't because she actually prefers living at the demon castle because as a hostage she doesn't have to worry about her royal responsibilities. Before long, she's a hostage in name only, and actually begins to work with the demons on their plots, personally befriending the Demon King and his generals in the process. It still doesn't reduce the amount of chaos she causes, though. | |

Unfortunately, on top of not knowing anything Ed is too tough and too oblivious to be bothered by the torture, and all that happens is Rolf ends up exhausted after spending all night repeatedly dunking Ed in a tank of garbage. | |

On Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, in the season 3 episode "Kimmy Steps On A Crack," aspiring cult-leader Gretchen turns out to have kidnapped a bunch of teenage boys to keep as "child brides." While they are less rumbunctious than most examples on this list, and just sort of messy, lazy and useless, the result is still this trope, as Gretchen finds herself spending all her time cooking for them, cleaning up after them, and generally acting like their mother. | |

In The Last Remnant, a sidequest involves rescuing a merchant's son from kidnappers. The catch? The son is a yama, a race of 10-foot-tall powerhouses (and said son is one of the larger ones), and the three kidnappers are qsiti, a race of 2-foot-tall reptilian creatures, with knives that would barely scratch the yama's skin. Rush even says something to the effect of "Which one of them actually needs help?" | |

Bruno the Bandit had the nieces and nephew of King Xerxes, who are portrayed as extremely close-knit and with a nasty temper. When Bruno kidnaps the youngest, the other two offer the sum Bruno demanded in exchange for every cutthroat and lowlife in Rothland to hunt down the kidnapper. Hell, even their parents openly pity the kidnapper more than they fear for their child's safety. | |

In "Not All Dogs Go To Heaven", Stewie kidnaps the entire cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation so he can spend time with them. They quickly get on Stewie's nerves, annoying him and complaining about trivial things, and piss him off to the point that before he sends them home, he dishes out a blistering speech. |

Babylon 5 presents a nonantagonistic version: Garibaldi arrests G'Kar for assaulting Londo Mollari (long story). Sometime later, Garibaldi notes that a petition was passing around because the station population thought Garibaldi's men were torturing G'Kar. What was actually happening was that G'Kar was singing to pass the time. But that wasn't what got him out early. Instead, the station was about to go under martial law and Garibaldi needed his security out on the beat, not guarding an otherwise model prisoner. | |

In How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, an attempt by the heroes to capture Grimmel the Grisly goes bad and, in their haste to retreat, Ruffnut is left behind. When Grimmel locks her up, she starts babbling literally non-stop about all sorts of trivial nonsense (including her annoying twin brother, her love life, and her hair braids) until he snaps, releases her, gives her a dragon fledgling to ride, and tells her to just get out. Ruffnut is quite proud of how she used her talent to be annoying this way. Unfortunately, she's not nearly as clever as she thinks; Grimmel also heard her babbling about the Hooligan tribe's new island base and had her followed back to them. | |
