== Western Animation ==
* Spoofed in ''[[Robot Chicken]]''. "Lay down on your backs before Zod! Now, using your lower abdominals, raise your legs and hold on a five-count before Zod!" [http://www.adultswim.com/video/?episodeID=6219080d1b72a381a10b08ba60195a03 See here.]
* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'':
** Mojo Jojo tries to extort this out of Blossom by dangling a [[Bound and Gagged]] [[Dude in Distress|Professor]] over a [[Lava Pit]].
** Princess' première also includes her telling Blossom, "Prepare to bow to your princess!" Cue the [[Fiery Redhead]]ed leader's first [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].
Line 290:
* In ''[[The Batman]]'', Lex Luthor forces Superman to do this by drugging him with a combination of [[Kryptonite Factor|Kryptonite]] dust and Poison Ivy's mind-control pollen.
* Lex also does this [[Evil Versus Evil|to fellow criminal mastermind]] Gorilla Grodd in the [[Grand Finale]] of ''[[Justice League]] Unlimited'', by turning Grodd's own [[Mind Control]] powers against him. [[DC Animated Universe/Awesome|And we love him for it]].
* ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold]]'':
** "Kneel Before Grodd!" Gorilla Grodd travels forward in time to take over the Ape Army and beat the Tiger Army. He succeeds, and has the Tiger leader "Great Caesar" bow to him; complete with [[Agony Beam]].
** Fox also tries to make Bronze Tiger kneel before him at the end of "Return of the Fearsome Fangs!", and Bronze Tiger pretends to comply so he could attack Fox while his guard was down.
** Degaton does it to Batman and the Justice Society in "The Golden Age of Justice!".
* Has happened on ''[[Veggie Tales]]'' a few times, in the dramatizations of the above-mentioned stories from [[The Bible|The Book of Daniel]]. Mr. Nezzer even wrote [[Villain Song|a song]] that people can sing as they bow to his giant chocolate rabbit idol. Yeah, it's a weird show.
* ''[[X-Men (animation)|X-Men]]'':
** Vertigo in the two-parter "Reunion", when using her powers on [[Wolverine]]:

Line 301:
'''Vertigo:''' Surrender to Vertigo.
'''Wolverine:''' [[Defiant to the End|Never!]] }}
{{quote|'''Vertigo:''' Kneel. Become one of the master's slaves. They cannot help you.}}
* The episode "Betrothed" of ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' had Blackfire telling Starfire: "That's right. Bow down before your Grand Ruler!" Cue Starfire retaliating with "You may be the ruler of this planet, but you are ''not'' the ruler of ME!"
* The ''[[South Park]]'' episode "Scott Tenorman Must Die" has the eponymous Scott force Cartman to get down on his knees, beg him for his money back, and act like a "little piggy".
* In ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures]]'', Tarakudo: King of the Shadowkhan does this often. Captain Black once responded with, "The only king I bow to is [[Elvis Presley]], and I don't see you wearing blue suede shoes."
* Vilgax attempted this on Ben in the ''[[Ben 10: Alien Force]]'' finale when he finally succeeded in taking the Omnitrix from him. Ben's answer: "You already got the Omnitrix, Vilgax. Don't ask too much." Old George later attempts a slightly less aggressive version of it on the heroes, with not much more success.
