A wily character is facing up against a [[Giant Mook]] who is confident he's going to beat their puny opponent. Our hero does a move in which he runs up to the baddie, flips over him, and then flips away. The baddie turns around confused as to why they've left him otherwise unharmed until he looks down and sees the three explosive [[Sticky Bomb|Sticky Bombs]]s left on his chest (and yes, they always see the bombs before they go off). Bombs go off and the baddie either falls unconscious if they were [[Instant Sedation|knockout bombs]] or... well, lets just hope it's a [[Non-Lethal Warfare|PG rated show]] for [[Ludicrous Gibs|the baddie's sake]].
 
Alternatively, if the [[Guile Hero]] really is completely outclassed in hand to hand, they may exploit the opportunity to plant the bombs and then break away or goad the baddie into throwing them to safety.

* As a general rule of thumb, virtually any game that has [[Sticky Bomb|Sticky Bombs]]s as usable weapons will involve this at some point.
* In ''[[Fallout 3]]'' you can use the pickpocket skill to place an explosive on someone. Doing this nets you the "psychotic prankster" achievement and increments your stat of "Pants Exploded". The [[Show Within a Show|Green Hornet]] radio show also has the titular character's [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]] do this to some villains.
** In ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'', with a high-enough sneak skill, you can prank a prankster via this.
