Some kids can get [[All Take and No Give|whatever they want by screaming at their parents]] until they give in. "I want a pony" is one common demand of these types.
Line 61 ⟶ 63:
* Missy Wiener from ''[[Welcome to The Dollhouse]]''. She acts innocent and sweet, but in reality she's a [[Manipulative Bastard|Manipulative Bitch]] who has mommy and daddy wrapped around her finger. Her favorite pastime is baiting Dawn into getting into trouble.
* Kuzco from ''[[The Emperor's New Groove]]''
* There was Arthur Hoggart's granddaughter in ''[[Babe]]'', who upon seeing the beautifully
* The meaning behind the title of ''[[The House of Yes]]''. The character of Jackie was so spoiled that the word "no" was simply never spoken in their household.
* ''[[Pee-wee's Big Adventure]]'' - Francis!
== [[Literature]] ==
* Veruca Salt of ''[[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory]]'', along with the two movies based on it. In the book and the first movie, it's explicitly mentioned she's [[Pretty in Mink|wearing a mink coat]]. It's not [[Fur and Loathing]] here; it's that mink coats were almost never made for girls at the time (they wore mostly rabbit), no matter how wealthy the family.
** The stereotypical "pony" line is spoofed in the 2005 movie:
{{quote|'''Veruca''': Daddy, I want [[Oh, No, Not Again|another]] pony.}}
** Although Veruca is the most glaring example in the book, the other children (except for [[The Hero|Charlie]], of course) are spoiled brats themselves. Augustus Gloop is a glutton whose mother just won't stop feeding him, Mike Teavee is allowed to spend all of his time watching television and apparently subsists on TV dinners, and Violet Beauregard goes unquestioned on any of her decisions by her parents.
* Another male example: [[Harry Potter|Draco Malfoy]] shows symptoms of this, and his parents don't seem inclined to put any limits on his behavior.
** Similarly, Dudley Dursley, although [[Eviler Than Thou|he's tame compared to Draco]]. Whereas Dudley just likes to beat up Harry (until the seventh book, anyway), Draco actually wants him dead.
