Knock those guys down to size

Make those guys realize they are not as powerful, important, or impressive as they think they are, often through humiliation or a humbling experience.
Ryan: (frowns as he watches the Chipmunks hit on the girls) Somebody's gonna have to knock those guys down to size.
Xander: Well, that should be pretty easy. I mean, they're only eight inches tall.

knicker knocking

Knicker Knocking was a game played in the 90’s when a group of kids get together, (usually in a hotel or apartment complex). Knocking on or ringing the bell of random doors, then run and hide for fun (laughing and giggling along the way). May the fastest kid win.

utility knock-knock joke

Any of several well-known "door-tap pun" verbal exchanges which involve either an offer ("Howard", "Tijuana", etc.) or a request ("Woodrow", "Kudu", etc.) by da speaker to da listener; often, said query is proffered in said manner in an effort to lighten da mood and add a little humor to said proposal, in order to hopefully take some of da sting outta da expressed idea, which might involve less-than-desirable aspects such as difficult/yucky/tedious labor, significant changes in habits/lifestyle such as being more active and/or giving up "comfort" foods, etc.
A lot of da utility knock-knock joke selections are somewhat "interchangeable" as far as their "request" or "offer" status --- i.e., a word dat's mostly intended for proposing an assistive/generosity action by da speaker to da listener (such as "Howard you like me to _?", or "Tijnana do/have _?") can also be used by da speaker for asking for assistance/charity from da listener (such as, "Howard you feel about doing _?", or "Tijuana volunteer to _?"). Or by da same token, a gigglingly-uttered conversing dat uses a word which is usually reserved for giving-of-time/resources appeals can also be used by da speaker to extend an offer of help to da listener, such as, "Woodrow like me to _?", or "Kudu let me help you out by _?"
