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.
