Humiliating Wager

"Each of the two contestants would then concentrate their will on the bottle and attempt to tip it and pour spirit into the glass of his opponent, who would then have to drink it.
The bottle would then be refilled. The game would be played again. And again.
Once you started to lose you would probably keep losing, because one of the effects of Janx Spirit is to depress telepsychic power.
As soon as a predetermined quality had been consumed, the final loser would have to perform a forfeit, which was usually obscenely biological.
Ford Prefect usually played to lose."

— The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Some bets are for money or material possessions. Other times, it's a person's dignity that's on the line.

Sometimes called a "penalty game" or "batsu (punishment) game" in Japanese media, this trope is when two or more characters make a bet where the loser must do or be subjected to something humiliating. Common penalties involve crossdressing, undressing (because Naked People Are Funny and/or Fanservice) silly dances, shaved heads, eating disgusting things, or could go all the way up to becoming the winner's Wager Slave. In South Korean media, specifically Variety Shows and the Kpop scene, finger-flicking the loser's forehead, giving them ugly makeup, slapping their butt, and hitting them with a squeaky hammer toy are all common types of penalty games.

This can be used as an example of the wacky hijinks of a group of friends. Or for this trope's darker side, it can be used to characterize an antagonist as someone who's not satisfied with simply defeating his opponents. This guy wants to utterly humiliate them. This can also set the villain up to be Hoist by His Own Petard and get himself subjected to the humiliating fate he wished upon the heroes. This is a favorite thing for The Gadfly and Troll looking for entertainment in embarrassing others.

Super-Trope of Wager Slave, where the Humiliating Wager is a period of servitude, and Strip Poker, where players place bets on their own clothing. Compare Lost Him in a Card Game, where the wager is someone else's servitude. Also compare The Bet.

The protagonist is the recipient of the final punishment which is to be repeatedly sodomized by everyone else. He then reveals at the end that he actually murdered all the others, but not out of revenge... it was out of frustration since he liked it, and they wouldn't do it again.
• The Greyhawk short story "Keoland Blues" by Pauli Kidd, featuring the characters from the Greyhawk Classics series of novels, has Escalla bet the Justicar that her adventuring knowledge will prove better than his, saying the loser will have to cook dinner.

Pro Wrestling

• Lucha libre has a tradition of luchas de apuestas (matches with wagers), in which a luchador places either his mask, hair, title, or career on the line against a similar offering (e.g. mascara contra mascara or mascara contra caballera). If unmasked, that luchador will not wear the mask again (Rey Mysterio Jr. is an exception to the rule because of the circumstances behind the loss of his mask in WCW).
• A favorite in Mexico is Parejas Suicidas, where two tag teams have a match and the losing team then has to face each other with either their masks or hair on the line.
• Every year CMLL has a "Cage of Death" match where multiple wrestlers or teams are put in the structure and the last one out loses their mask or hair.

  • As a result of Maven losing a match, Simon Dean (an evil fitness guru) once had to eat 20 cheeseburgers. He threw up after he finished the last one.
  • As if the infamous "Bra and Panties" matches weren't humiliating enough, there was this one where the winner got to spank the loser.
  • In the match shown here between Tori Wilson and Candice Michelle, winning the match and the wager only required getting ahold of the paddle, in which case the winner was allowed to spank the loser. There was a Twist Ending, however, when one of them succeeded.
• Impact Wrestling:
  • A Thanksgiving tradition is the Turkey Bowl match, TNA's answer to WWE's Survivor Series. Unlike other stipulations, this is usually not for a title or other wagers. The main gimmick is that the person who takes the pin or submits has to wear a turkey costume. In years where the Turkey Bowl match was not held, the turkey suit makes a Continuity Cameo.
  • The Feast or Fired match, another TNA staple. The gimmick here is that there are a set of cases that contain the gamut of future title shots or championship belts. One of them contains a pink slip instead. Even if a wrestler manages to outwit their opponents and grab a case first, they may find themselves leaving the company as their "prize."
• CMLL has had Ruleta de la Muerte tournaments as early as 1998, where the losing tag teams advance until there is only one left, then the losers compete in a luchas de apuestas, making for a longer and even more humiliating version of Parejas Suicidas.

• Larry Sweeney found himself on the receiving end of one in 2005. At CHIKARA Aniversario Blue, May 20, 2005, Knight Eye for the Pirate Guy (Lance Steel and Jolly Roger) defeated Sweeney and ShareCropper in a match where, had Sweeney's team won, Allison Danger would have to be Sweeney's "slave" for 30 days, but, if Knight Eye won, Sweet 'n' Sour International would have to appear in diapers the following night. Knight Eye won when Sweeney was Hoisted by His Own Petard after accidentally hitting ShareCropper with a chain. Steel pinned ShareCropper for the win. The following night, Aniversario Orange, Sweeney walked out and said that ShareCropper wasn't there so he doesn't have to appear in a diaper. Leonard F. Chikarason threatened Sweeney with not being able to wrestle for CHIKARA again if he didn't live up to the stipulation in the contract. Sweeney stormed off and came back 10 minutes later with Sweet 'n' Sour International (Crossbones, Rorschach, Mano Metalico) and himself all wearing diapers. Sweeney complained how they were in this situation because they didn't listen to him, they hadn't gotten on the winning streak that he wanted and, Crossbones wouldn't put the dishes away. Sweeney fired all three guys, said he quits and that Sweet 'n' Sour International was no more, and left through the back door.
• RJ The Magician, in an effort to get Kacee Carlisle to leave the Phoenix Wrestling Federation in 2012, dared her to put her contract on the line in a match with Sojo Bolt, the catch being he'd eat a light bulb if Carlisle could pull off the win.
• In WXW-PA, Niya Barela had been getting pursued by Joey Janela for a while, with him becoming more and more obsessed. Frustrated, she said she would only date someone who could beat her in a match, and challenged him to a match where if he won, he got a date, and if she won, he'd leave her alone forever. Not only did Janela win the match, he knocked Niya out cold, mocking her to the camera afterwards. One can only imagine how Niya felt after she woke up and realized she lost.
• Discussed, in SHIMMER when Portia Perez stole Thunderkitty's robe. Her justification was that she "won it fair and square", unwilling to accept that it wasn't on the line.

Video Games

• Dragon Age: Inquisition has the Inquisitor, companions, and advisers play a game of Wicked Grace. Josephine has been beating everyone, but Cullen and potentially the Inquisitor can join in for one last hand.

• In Escape from Monkey Island, Guybrush lets himself into the house of Ozzy Mandrill, an entrepreneur who's winning a large amount of land by challenging pirates to various forms of insults contests. If you challenge him to a sword fight, his win condition is that Guybrush has to leave his house. You have a number of dialog options, one of which is making him dance in the center of town in a chicken suit. Unfortunately, it's impossible to win because Guybrush can't make sense of his Australian slang-laden insults.
• Dude, Stop's narrator apparently made a bet with a friend regarding whether or not the Tester #17 (you) would complete all the puzzles properly. We never learn what he has to do if he loses, but considering he tries to skip town when he realizes he's lost, and later simply says Let Us Never Speak of This Again once it's said and done (the closed captions even say he's having flashbacks about it), it clearly wasn't anything pleasant.

This year's outfit was Nightwing's old "Discowing" outfit, complete with high color and plunging V-neck. Jason Todd ends up the loser and is forced to wear the costume. Why doesn't Dick participate? Because he's impossible to embarrass, which is proven when he asks what's wrong with his "Discowing" outfit.
