The Hero needs help and is urging a dangerous plan on a reluctant group of people. Who's the first to say he'll join in? Why, the youngest (or most seriously aged), the least experienced, the most unskilled, the weakest member of the group. Often results in many, if not all, of the other characters being shamed into joining. If the character's inexperience and youth are such that he doesn't know what he's getting into, Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids! may come into play. It may still shame them. On the other hand, the character can know. This is even more shaming. This character may find the actual conflict very hard but will stick with The Hero until the bitter end. Sometimes, though, they may pull a Leeroy Jenkins, or become The Load or The Millstone despite their best efforts. Contrast Sour Supporter, Who Will Bell the Cat?,. Compare Loser Has Your Back. |

In The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World, after George and John fight off a huge swarm of robotic bats that chase them out of the cliff dwelling, they refuse to accompany Paul down there to keep an eye on him while he fights the rest of the robots. So Ringo offers to go with him, despite having no defenses whatsoever, because “I know how important it is that we support each other, even if it's dangerous and even if we got a bit of a scare that didn't really hurt us.” Which shames the others into cooperating. (“I hate you,” John muttered.) | |

A slightly different take on this scene happens during the Battle of the Blackwater in the second book from A Song of Ice and Fire: A Clash of Kings. The besieged forces draw back inside the defenses at one point out of fear of wildfire, (a magically enhanced, virtually undousable flame) that their own side has used to set the battlefield ablaze. This lets the forces attacking them get right up to the gates and start trying to batter them down. The soldiers, even the Blood Knight leading them, (who, by the way, got half his face burned off as a kid) refuse to go back and fight. At this point Tyrion, who is a dwarf, (not a fantasy dwarf, but a human who happens to be about 4 feet tall) rides up and tries to get the soldiers to go back into the fight. They refuse. Tyrion then goes to lead the attack himself, shouting at the tough guy soldiers "They say I'm half a man. What does that make the lot of you?" True to form, that shames enough of them into fighting that they make a difference in the tide of battle. This entire sequence was adapted in Game of Thrones during the episode entitled "Blackwater". |

Early in Willow, the first and one of the only Nelwyns to volunteer to accompany the titular Willow on his quest is Meegosh. Vohnkar, the best warrior in the village, wasn't far behind though. | |

The movie Hook has a particularly saccharine (though aren't they all?) example: the lost boys have a new leader and are unwilling to recognize the adult Peter Pan as their erstwhile friend until the littlest hesitantly walks over, touching his face and looking into his eyes, until the kid sees Peter in him, and then everybody rushes over to see for themselves. | |

In South Park, Cartman delivers a rousing speech in an attempt to persuade people to address the menace of Scott Tenorman. He succeeds only in enlisting the wheelchair-bound, mentally retarded Timmy. And then Timmy changes his mind. Of course, Cartman didn't need their ''willing'' help anyway. |
