If a former friend, former ally, enemy, political rival, or just someone you hate or like to make fun of wants your help, or a favor, or just to get in the clubhouse, why not make them grovel a bit before helping them?
Yah, so, make them admit that you rule, or make them do a silly dance. A form of Word Power.
Sometimes used by villains as part of trying to make a hero Kneel Before Zod.

Bleach: Inverted example. Yumichika's zanpakutou refuses to give Yumichika access to its power if Yumichika messes up the name. Since its power betrays Yumichika's divisional code of battle, Yumichika deliberately calls the zanpakutou by a name it loaths to take advantage of his sword's attitude.

Farscape. When Critchton gives Scorpius the wormhole technology he's always craved for a Weapon of Mass Destruction, Crichton makes him say "please", then "pretty please with sugar on top". In a subversion, Scorpius does all this without the slightest hesitation.

The short film "Expiration Date" for Team Fortress 2 saw this happen to Scout by Spy. The RED team are supposedly dying from tumors gotten from teleporting too much, and after Scout ruins Spy's plan to help everyone achieve a dying wish, he still approaches Spy to ask for his help in getting a date with Ms. Pauling. Scout is able to convince Spy to help him by admitting Spy is better than him (after making Spy promise that his admission never leaves the room), but Spy makes him fulfill one more condition. He then activates a mic connected to the hideout intercom.

Jubal Early uses this on Kaylee in the last episode of Firefly. She's terrified he's going to harm her, and says the captain was right down the hallway. "The captain is locked in his quarters. There's no one can help you. Say it." She does, with a whimper.
