Unsatisfiable Customer: Difference between revisions

== Comic Strips ==

* A classic cartoon posted in countless places of business depicts an employee at the Complaints Desk confronting a sour-faced older female customer:

* The cast of ''[[Retail]]'' deals with these on a regular basis.

* ''[[Married... with Children|Married With Children]]'': The fat women Al Bundy regularly deals with usually fit this. A common complaint from them is their foot not fitting in a size six shoe. Al, of course, fights back with an endless stream of insults.

* Many people complaining to the Parks Department on ''[[Parks and Recreation]]'', often about random and/or nonsensical issues:

* ''[[Little Britain]]'' has a recurring sketch where Mr Mann enters a shop (it's always the same set, but what the shop sells varies in every sketch) and begins asking for more and more ridiculously specific items from the shopkeeper, with varying degrees of success.

* In most of the "Two A-Holes" skits on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', the title characters play the role of unsatisfiable customers to a single [[Straight Man]] character, such as a salesman or a travel agent. Typically, the skit starts off with the Straight Man attempting to be polite and tolerate the A-Holes' inane behavior and bizarre demands, but ends with the Straight Man finally losing his/her temper and telling the A-Holes to go to hell.

== Western Animation ==

* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'': Homer gets on a bag boy's nerves before a [[Halfway Plot Switch]] sends the family on an African Safari.

'''Bag Boy 1:''' That's it. On behalf of Sack Stuffers Local 199, I'm calling a strike! }}

* In the more "picky," rather than "bossy" vein, a few ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' episodes have plots centered around this. Notably with Bubblebass and Bubble Buddy.

** [[Jerkass|Bubblebass]] is so bad, he actually wound up sending SpongeBob into a [[Heroic BSOD]]. Bubblebass is more Type Four since he in fact hidden the pickles under his tongue the whole time ([[Noodle Incident|along with someone's car keys]]), either to gain a refund (and thus a free Krabby Patty) or just to [[Mind Screw]] SpongeBob [[For the Lulz]].

** The guy from "Pizza Delivery" comes to mind. Whether he is Type Three or Four is never delved upon (he asks for a pizza delivery from a restaurant that doesn't deliver OR make pizzas and then berates SpongeBob to point of tears for forgetting a soda he didn't even order), though is likely meant to be an extreme parody of all the above. Fortunately, [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Squidward]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|convinced the customer to take the pizza "on the house".]]

'''Squidward:''' Yep, [[Force Feeding|ate the whole thing in one bite]]. }}

* ''[[Family Guy]]'': Peter tried to teach Chris how to be a Type Four by planting a dead guy in the soup bowl. Unfortunately, Chris' prop hadn't actually died yet...
