Dog Show

A subtle type of insulting or belittling of a Target by using a sarcastic way of request aimed at said Target to show their talent, skill, or level of intelligence. If the Target obliges to the request, often times in front of a camera or a crowd, this results in 2nd Hand Embarrassment among watchers (commonly without the knowledge of the target), a malicious amusement among the requestors, and lowering the Target's standing in the eye of the public, the crowd, or in the hierarchy of their peers.

A Dog Show commonly happens as a way of bullying a person without their knowledge, who is clueless to this concept. The term came from Dog Shows, where dogs are ordered to do tricks, to entertain an audience.
Actor 1: "Hey Brad! Can you do a little dance for me? These girls over here would be OVERJOYED to see you bust some moves... I heard that you were a great dancer!"

Actor 2: "Yeah haha! Come on it would really make me have a crush on you if you did!"

Target: "Oh haha. O-okay..." *dances awkwardly*

Actor 4: "Those upperclassmen are making a Dog Show out of that poor kid again. Should we do something?"

Actor 5: "Nah. He should've learned to avoid it after he got his left leg sprained from failing a Cartwheel."

Show the Dog

When something/someone is trying to sell or convince you on something but they reveal information that leads to you doubting them or even to a certainty that they won't be able to deliver/are lying. Ultimately, its a sign of being mislead or outright stagnation (while trying to prop it up as progress).

The "dog" is a reference to the Call Of Duty: Ghosts Xbox One Live reveal where they were showing off all the next gen features of their engine. One of the main showcases being the model for an attack dog, as well as the way fish school up and move together. In a first person shooter game.

This phrase was originally coined by DJPeachCobbler in his video titled "Elden Ring feels like the end", specifically starting from 0:52, but you can find evidence of people pointing this out as far back as
If they keep going, They're gonna show the dog.
