A lot of the examples here seem to be uses of the Stock Phrase (which isn't really all that stock) instead of examples of the trope. I'm not doing anything about it, just ... noting that.

Since I have been lurking here, I've seen the Zohan examples keep getting added and removed. Okay, I get using the trope namer as the page quote but then %in no more quotes and removing the Zohan example from this page and the rest of the wiki makes it obvious it is not wanted. Yet I have not seen any reasoning for it.
That's why he wants you to have the money. Not so you can buy 14 Cadillacs but so you can help build up the wastes

It's quite different, actually. Kick the Dog means the villain does something mean and pointless just to show us, the viewers, that he's a bad guy.
And Your Little Dog, Too! is when he threatens to do something personal to the hero.
In its original context, it was to show the bad guy was not content to just hurt the hero but also wanted to do something mean and pointless to something that should be of little concern to them just because it was associated with the hero.
It could overlap with kick the dog, but only if they actually succeed.

What’s the difference between this and I Have Your Wife?
