This iconic clip originates from the stop-motion sketch comedy series Robot Chicken, specifically the 2007 segment titled 'Star Wars Episode III.V: Revenge of the Sith.' The scene features Lando Calrissian, voiced by Donald Faison, and Darth Vader, voiced by Seth Green, in a hilarious parody of the Cloud City negotiations from The Empire Strikes Back. In this version, Vader keeps altering the terms of their agreement with increasingly absurd demands, such as forcing Lando to wear a dress and ride a unicycle. Lando’s frustrated exclamation, 'This deal is getting worse all the time!' serves as the comedic climax of the sketch. In the meme world, this clip is the gold standard for representing situations where the goalposts are being moved or a situation is deteriorating in real-time. It is frequently used to describe corporate policy changes, gaming balance updates, or personal relationships where one party keeps asking for more. The humor lies in the relatable feeling of being trapped in a contract or agreement that has spiraled out of control. Commonly used caption ideas include: 'When the 30-day free trial starts asking for your social security number,' 'When the boss adds a mandatory meeting to your Friday at 4:55 PM,' and 'Watching streaming services raise prices while adding ads.'
