Is there a trope where a character refuses to do something, gets threatened, and spinelessly agrees to the demand, played for laughs? For example, in Gullivers Travels 2010 Film , Gulliver says to a Brobdingnag that there's no way he'll play "tea parties", the Brobdingnag rips the head off another doll, and he pretty quickly agrees to her demands.
