A great assistant provides their boss with the things they need to do their job. This can mean an organized schedule, up-to-date research, fielding calls, or taking on the small tasks. For some assistants, however, it means kowtowing, flattering, and generally blowing smoke up the posterior areas of their superiors. This is the domain of the Yes Man. For them, their boss is the be-all and end-all of their world. If the boss says "Jump!", the good Yes Man says "How high?" The great Yes Man already knows, and follows up by apologizing that his leap was not worthy. The boss may not need or desire this, of course... but if they're a Control Freak, a Neidermeyer, or a Pointy-Haired Boss, you can be sure they'll have or want a Yes Man. Sometimes, they'll have a team of them, led by the Alpha Yes Man. The reasons for this behaviour can be anything from unshakable love, to spineless fear, to a desire to borrow the power and status of the boss by association. The last type is often the one most likely to act like a mini-tyrant to others when the boss isn't around. The Yes Man is often not very good at his job, though this is not always the case. Sometimes, most notably when the boss's actual ability is lacking, they can be frighteningly efficient. Go far enough to the extreme in this, and you get the Battle Butler. The Dragon is sometimes the Yes Man, though just as often goes to the opposite extreme. The Professional Butt-Kisser is almost indistinguishable from the Yes Man, except their devotion is to the position rather than the boss, so they'll treat anyone who gets, steals, or kills for the job the same as their old boss. Of course, even exceptionally devoted Yes Men can be pushed too far, especially by an over-demanding or bullying boss... and if they are, then the boss had better be careful; The Dog Bites Back. Also note that yes man trope refers to people who generally behave like this. Occasional instances of this behaviour does not qualify. Even Dilbert and Alice from the Dilbert comic occasionally ends up pretending to agree with their moronic Pointy-Haired Boss, usually simply because they realize he is too thick-headed to understand why he is wrong. This certainly does not make them yes man and woman. They normally give their boss the respect he deserves (absolutely none) and Alice is even occasionally physically abusive of him. Not to be confused with the guerilla activist/comedy hoaxters, The Yes Men. For the Jim Carrey film, click here. Compare Sycophantic Servant, Opinion Flip-Flop. Contrast Commander Contrarian and Honest Advisor. Compare and contrast Servile Snarker and Hypercompetent Sidekick, who usually let their boss think they're one of these. See also I Don't Pay You to Think for when the boss apparently expected an employee to be a yes-man, but they didn't get that. In some settings, this trope can also lead to, or even be just one part of the Blind Obedience trope. |

Heavily discouraged by The Prince. Machiavelli warned that any Prince would be surrounded by flatterers, but in order to encourage the image of the Prince as infallible, he should have advisors whom he trusts to tell him the truth, but only when asked, and only in private. The best form of advisor is one who only thinks of the Prince's interests, rather than his own. | |

With Toontown Online having the Cogs' theme revolve around corporate terms and stereotypes, one of them is the Yesman in the Bossbot corporate ladder. The Yesman's quotes revolve around positivity and not taking no for an answer, yet says them in a way that shows its malicious intent on the Toons. Being a low tier cog in the corporate ladder, and associated with the boss rank, it makes sense for the cog to be positively reaffirming towards its bosses to climb the ranks. Ironically, if you try fighting a Yesman that does not want to battle, they will say "Yesman says NO.". | |

Jeeves from Jeeves and Wooster manages to be this while not only being one of the most frighteningly efficient men in the show and being the only who really runs the show for his (rather moronic) boss, but also is the one to get said boss out of numerous sticky situations. Although "Yes, sir" became stock dialogue from him, if his facial expression showed the slightest sign of disapproval, viewers knew he was going to get his own way in the end. | |

In 1776, Judge James Wilson is the Yes Man to his fellow Pennsylvania delegate, John Dickinson, who is staunchly against American independence. But when the Second Continental Congress favors independence, Wilson breaks away from Dickinson for the very same reason he initially embraced this trope: he doesn't want to be remembered. | |

Yellow Submarine has an interesting variant on this trope with the Blue Meanie Max. He starts out saying "yes" to the Blue Meanie Alpha, which gets him in trouble, at which point he switches to "no" but still means "yes." By the end of the movie the Blue Meanie Alpha wants him to say "yes" but he has just gotten used to saying "no, your blueness" (which he at the last minute switches to "yes, your newness"). Seems the Alpha takes pride in making his yes man's natural response the wrong answer. It's more a case of Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad on the Meanies' part. They embody the philosophy of "no," but after being exposed to the Nowhere Man's magic, their leader adopts the word "yes" and everything it entails. |

Mega Man: Defender of the Human Race: Scott Erickson, Vickers' second in command. While he does make subtle attempts to guide his boss towards better decisions, he lacks the backbone to completely disagree with him. In the end, when those decisions result in Erickson nearly getting mugged by Mr. Black and the company loosing major good publicity and millions of dollars, he finally is forced to grow out of this and leads the board to getting Vickers kicked out. Tiesel Bonne becomes this to the Conduit, less because of willing dedication to the cause and more because he's flat out terrified of what the Conduit would do to his family if he doesn't comply. Like Erickson, Tiesel moves out of this trope when he sees an opening and helps to take down the Conduit's henchmen. |

Dethklok would probably get their albums done quicker on Metalocalypse if their producer Dick Knubbler exercised a stronger hand, but unfortunately he's more than happy to go along with whatever the band wants that day (which usually is not making music). This eventually gets him replaced with Abigail, which starts a chain of events that nearly break up the band. | |

Josh in Retail was this to Stuart. Stuart himself is this to anyone above him. When Jerry was their district manager, he would suck up to him whenever he showed up. Later on, when Jerry quit and named Stuart as his successor, he had to be interviewed by the regional manager, who turned out to have a strong dislike for Jerry. After Stuart found out, he promptly threw him under the bus in order to get the job. |

The Dufflepuds in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader are a whole group of these to their chief...and to more or less anyone else who happens to talk to them. Even if they hold contradictory opinions to each other. It's very much played for laughs. (The one sort-of exception is if someone tries to tell them they aren't ugly. They will assume the person meant to say that they are ugly, and enthusiastically agree with that.) | |

Fallout: New Vegas has Yes Man, a consistently happy robot programmed to help whoever orders him around. He agrees with whatever you say, tells you what you want to hear, gives you tips on where his last owner Benny went, and advises you on how to take over Vegas, which was Benny's plan. That doesn't mean he actually agrees with whatever you're saying — he's just physically incapable of telling you otherwise, even when it's clear in his forced language and strained tone that he very much wants to. This is best shown if the player does something detrimental to his plans (not properly dealing with certain factions or deciding to destroy your own Trump Card). He'll just say that it must make sense somehow since you must know what you're doing, and goes along with it even though he's very aware that you just made things worse. The most he can do is point out how you've just made things much more... challenging. |

Mina Beff from Grojband is this to Trina Riffin. When not slavishly carrying out Trina's orders, she's usually eagerly agreeing with anything Trina says or showering her with praise (although the few times she doesn't usually lead to Trina hurting or threatening her). | |

Played with in The Terror. Commander Fitzjames comes off like this early on where Sir John is concerned, but after Sir John dies, it becomes more clear that he's just completely out of his depth and looking for the nearest source of guidance so that he himself will look like he's making authoritative decisions, as well as latching onto Sir John as a father figure considering his actual father abandoned him as a child and Fitzjames never really got over it. Once he figures out where his own values lie, he starts showing a lot more independent thought, even while still acting as an assistant expedition leader. | |

In the Arthur special "D.W. and the Beastly Birthday," D.W. has an extended fantasy in which her friends all become monsters in the style of Where the Wild Things Are and she's the queen. However, they all bow to her whims, and so the only monster on the island she ultimately finds interesting is the one that represents her brother Arthur, simply because he has his own personality and won't do everything she says. | |

He will however, try to convince Haruhi of other possibilities, if the situation gets too serious. Because Haruhi is Genre Savvy, he compares it to other fictional happenings, but it doesn't always work out good for him. | |

In Getting Back on Your Hooves, Checker Monarch's assistant Helping Hoof is a deconstruction. A large amount of his dialog DOES consist of 'Yes Miss Monarch' to the point he has trouble when she wanted him to say no for once. The deconstruction comes from the fact that Helping Hoof is like this because he's completely terrified of his Sociopathic boss and trapped in a Deal with the Devil by her rather than being a suck up. | |

Bravely Default has Victor S. Court, a professional Spiritmaster in the Eternian Forces, and completely whipped by Arcanist Victoria F. Stein. He earnestly wants to help the Grand Marshal's design, but if Victoria says "Burn", he doesn't even ask "How hot?" Killing someone they're supposed to capture simply earns Victoria an "Oh bother..." from the medic. It's eventually revealed that he's atoning for his father using an incredibly dangerous experimental healing process on Victoria, which trapped her in a child's body and caused her to suffer chronic seizures that could kill her without treatment. | |

Transformers: Armada's Demolishor normally functions as one, though he has been known to occasionally have doubts. Speaking of Transformers... Lugnut from Transformers: Animated. One has to wonder how well Megatron knew his troops when he wonders if Lugnut is loyal. He is. Loudly. With lots of "for the glory of Megatron!" and "whatever the great and glorious Megatron commands!" So much so that it eventually starts to get on Megatron's nerves. Also, Inferno, being an insect-bot, to Megatron from Beast Wars: "Yes, my Queen!" |

Dwight Schrute filled this role for Michael Scott in the earlier seasons of The Office (US), with a similar dynamic to the British series, though in later seasons he gradually became more of The Starscream. In Season 3, after two branches merged into one, Andy Bernard — the Yes Man for the second branch — tried to muscle in on Dwight's position, causing a rivalry between the two. | |

Discussed in Death on the Nile. Socialite Linnet Doyle approaches Hercule Poirot to hire him to persuade Jacqueline de Bellefort, whose fiance she stole and married, to back off from the campaign of harassment she's been subjecting her to. Poirot refuses and points out politely but firmly that Linnet's own conduct is far from above reproach and her own actions clearly demonstrate that, despite appearances, she feels guilty for what she's done. At a later encounter, Linnet treats Poirot coolly, and Poirot realises to his amusement that Linnet is so used to the people around her acquiescing to and agreeing with her that she's completely unprepared to cope with someone who actually tells her the blunt truth. | |

The Daria episode "Mart of Darkness" mostly takes place at a Costco-like discount warehouse, where the various characters interact with one of the clerks giving out free samples of deep-fried cheese logs. Whatever they want the cheese logs to be, she assures them that it's exactly what they are, be it healthy or unhealthy. She even contradicts herself: she assures the Fashion Club that they are calorie-free, right after telling Mr. DiMartino that they are 1,000 calories apiece and therefore enough to constitute an entire meal. | |

Chi-Fu from Mulan behaves like an Obstructive Bureaucrat most of the time, probably because he's separated from the real authority, but in the presence of anyone of real power (the General or the Emperor), he turns into one of these, trying to anticipate his superior's words and actions and act accordingly. This is played for comedy at the closing of the film-when the Emperor bows to Mulan, it takes him a quarter of a second to go from oily yes-man fully supporting the execution of the heroine to prostrate on the ground before her. | |

Kevan Lannister from A Song of Ice and Fire at first appears one to his older brother, Lord Tywin. He turns out to be a subversion, as he actually does think for himself and only agrees with Tywin so often because Tywin usually is doing the best thing for their House. By contrast, after Tywin dies, new Regent Cersei expects her uncle to become her Yes Man and in shocked when he refuses. The council she ends up appointing is indeed composed entirely of those people who most successfully appeal to her vanity and paranoia (or whose appointment would most annoy her rivals), and she sees any disagreement from them as rebellion. | |

One Piece Baby 5 never turns down a request, both from her boss and virtually anyone else, due to believing it'll make her useful. At first, it's a Running Gag that's Played for Laughs, then we realize that's she's psychologically incapable of turning down requests, due to being abandoned by her mother as a child for being "useless". Doflamingo and the rest of the Donquixote Pirates find the prospect of someone who'll do anything for them delightful, and don't even attempt to fix this negative aspect of hers. Oh, did we mention one of said requests includes ATTEMPTING TO KILL HERSELF? The Five Elders act this way toward Imu, the de facto secret leader of the entire World Government. When Imu orders them to test out the Mother Flame superweapon, they suggest using it on a remote, uninhabited region high above the sea. Imu orders them to use it on a heavily populated island kingdom, simply because of its close geographical proximity. The Five Elders immediately agree without question and collectively rationalize it as having been the most logical answer all along. |

Painfully subverted in the infamous "Amy's Baking Company" episode of Kitchen Nightmares. It becomes obvious early on that the only reason Gordon Ramsay was even brought in was so owners Amy and Samy could be vindicated from the "internet bullies".note You are correct to shake your head in disbelief; they genuinely thought that the notoriously hot-blooded perfectionist Michelin-starred chef, whose TV persona is entirely built around his furious rants at people who don't take professional cooking seriously enough, would be their Yes-Man against people with entirely legitimate complaints. Instead, Ramsay easily calls their bluff and the viewers see how horrible their store is. Notably, he doesn't even rant at them; having realised that they can't be helped because they just won't listen to anything other than Yes-manning, he delivers a calm and collected The Reason You Suck speech and concludes with Screw This, I'm Outta Here. | |

The robotic Barizorg to Oiles Gil in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, to the point where his Catchphrase is "Yes, boss." This trope is justified, as Barizorg is a human converted to a cyborg and programmed with absolute obedience to Oiles Gil. | |

Kitten from If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device is basically a brainwashed idiot whose only function is to be the Emperor's defender and Yes-Man. His psychical programming is starting to fail, though, as he confesses to Magnus that he starts to have his doubts. It's also worth noting that with him being Captain-General and thus a politician, Yes-Manning is probably the best way for him not to drown in Terra's politics. | |

Al Borland of Home Improvement acts like this around superiors. In one episode, he spoke to the president of their company more like one would the President of the United States, prompting Tim Allen's character to ask "Why don't you just glue your lips to his butt?" Later in that same episode, Tim brought Al along to discuss an agreement they both had with that very president on the logic that "if a suck up like you complains he has to take it seriously." | |

Subverted with Anne in My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!. Her mother raised her to always defer to authority figures since, as the illegitimate daughter of a baron, her best chance for a good life would have been to curry her father's favor and either be named his heir or be given to a good husband in a political marriage (only for her father to discard her when the burn scars she got from a house fire made the latter option impractical). Of course, someone as nutty and random as Catarina is pretty much impossible to suck up to and it allowed Anne to just be herself and become more of a Servile Snarker. | |

Super Sentai Ryuunosuke towards Takeru in Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. His bootlicking of the team's leader is taken to comic proportions. He's been training to become a monster slaying samurai all his life, and will not let himself look bad at all. Part of his character development is learning to drop this trait.

Yes Man (The character's actual billing!) from Kappa Mikey. His main role seems to be getting excited so that Ozu can remain Comically Serious. The poor dude sleeps in a drawer under Ozu's bed. Also reversed. When Ozu's brother Brozu visits, Brozu brings with him his own personal "No Man." Whenever someone has something bad happen to him, it's his job to turn chibi and scream "Oh NO!" in an over-the-top manner. |

Stephanie McMahon has been accused of this in Real Life. Shortly after she was named Head of Creative in 2002, she began hiring Hollywood TV writers. The story goes that the people on the creative team who had a background in professional wrestling questioned her ideas and decisions so much (she was only 25 years old at the time she got the job, in addition to being the boss' daughter) that she sought to get rid of them and replace them with people who weren't going to question her. This is considered one of the reasons WWE struggled following the highly-successful Attitude Era. | |

Doctor Who: "The Long Game" has an unusual take on the trope. Cathica Santini Kidane is an ambitious, ladder-climbing suck-up who is willing to do whatever it takes to get that promotion to Floor 500. Even after she gets there and realizes the walls aren't made of gold, she seems more upset by the fact that she wasn't promoted years before than anything else. It's implied that everyone who worked for Satellite 5 was trying to get to Floor 500, but she was the most blatant about it. Interestingly, however, she winds up saving the day by sabotaging the computer systems to kill the Jagrafess. | |

Siegfried Kircheis is this to his childhood friend, Reinhard von Lohengramm in Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Parodied to the fullest extent in this bonus video. Unlike most examples of this trope, both Reinhard and Siegfried are highly intelligent and competent men who complement each other very well precisely because they're nearly always on the same page, making the latter's early death a major blow for Reinhard. | |

Robin Hood (2010) has an early scene, where the Richard the Lionheart is inspecting his encamped troops, and asks a lowly longbowman Robin Longstride if what they did during the Crusades was right and God approved. Robin, after some hesitation, chooses to be honest with his king, saying that no, the things that they did in the Holy Land did not please God. Richard praises the man for having the courage and integrity to speak honestly to his liege, then condemns him for having the foolishness to tell his liege something he would rather not hear and has him thrown in the stockades. | |

Jessie's Wobbuffet in Pokémon: The Series. Its Japanese name, ソーナンス S�nansu, roughly translates to "That's how it is." Similarly Inkay is a pun of "Okay" in English, while it's Japanese name Maaiika, is a play on "Oh, all right". Much like Wobbuffet, James' Inkay in particular is very loyal to Team Rocket. |

Gavin, the CEO of Hooli on Silicon Valley is an overbearing and rather self-involved man whose biggest failing is that he's such a terrifying presence that people are afraid to give him any bad news. This bites him in the ass when he boasts of how his Nucleus program will run a live-stream of a major UFC fight... and none of his underlings have the courage to tell him the program is anywhere from six weeks to six months from actually working. After the stream is an epic disaster, Gavin seems to understand what's happening and asks his self-help guru if "I scare people so much that they can't tell me the truth?" Of course, the guru tells him that's not the case. |

The Perfect Run: The ultimate version. The Alchemist has a Self-Duplication ability, creating unlimited numbers of simulated alternate reality versions of herself. She has limited control over how her duplicates are made, so for example she can make a version of herself that is an expert soldier or physicist, but she can't decide their actual history. She completely fails to realize that every version she creates agrees with her, deep down, meaning that she's trapped herself in an echo chamber of hundreds of people who would never actually raise objections to any of her terrible plans. By the time the heroes find her, she is flatly confused when they try to arrest her for her crimes. She simply cannot conceive that intelligent people who benefited from her plans would have a problem with what she did. | |
