All Take and No Give: Difference between revisions

* The narrator of ''Let Me Be Your Armor'' by Assemblage 23 is a very possessive Giver.

* ''Grenade'' by [[Bruno Mars]] specifically mentions this trope:

''Oh, take, take, take it all but you never give.'' }}

* ''Let Me Live'' by [[Queen]]

''Baby, why don't you give me a chance to live'' }}

* ''Everything She Wants'' by [[Wham]]. The whole song really, but especially:

''Well you've shown me you can take, you've got some giving to do'' }}

* [[Dolly Parton]] describes working '9 to 5' as this.

* Bloo in ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' is not above taking extreme advantage of Wilt's generosity, to the point where Bloo makes him sleep on the floor and let Bloo sleep in his bed.

* One line from a song in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' pretty much says it all.

* Mr. Burns is like this to Smithers on ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', much of the time. On the other hand, Smithers doesn't seem to mind, since he has an almost pathological need to serve Burns. When his boss fired him, he quickly became a drunken wreck, spending his days drinking cheap Scotch and watching [[Comedy Central]]. When Homer accidentally crippled Burns by pushing him out of a third-story window, forcing him to be waited on hand and foot by Smithers, Smithers sent the Simpsons a very large basket of fruit as thanks.

* This is the main [[Aesop]] of the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E5 Sisterhooves Social|"Sisterhooves Social"]].
