Level 100 Manager Escalation

Lvl. 1 Can I speak with the manager Lvl. 100 I demand a parley with the C.E.O.

A two-panel comparison shows a woman with a modest hairstyle saying, “Can I speak with the manager,” and a dramatically styled woman demanding a parley with the C.E.O. The joke escalates the familiar customer complaint into an exaggerated, medieval-sounding corporate confrontation, so it is used as a reaction to becoming much more assertive or dramatic.
