“ Eason: I can't let the Smarties tease me! ”

“ Dr Panda: Don't be a litterbug like Eason! ”

“ Pat: I wish he would be severely punished! ”

“ Eason: How... How could you watch this video... ”

“ Dr Panda: Come on, you can browse the Internet on a smart TV! ”

We use "wish + would" to talk about something in the present that we would like to change. It is usually something that we find annoying.
