Delivery Guy Infiltration: Difference between revisions
→Western Animation
Line 94:
* Was done in an episode of the 80s ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]''.
** In fact, this was the basis of an episode. In a rare case of [[Genre Savvy]], Shredder opens a pizza joint that specializes in weird pizzas, planning to stay in business until he gets an order for a pizza that only a mutant turtle could love. Then, he would follow the pizza to the Turtles' lair through a tracking device. The plan falls apart when he a) hires a disguised Michelangelo, and b) the Rat King steals the tracking pizza.
** The Turtles themselves do it in another episode to infiltrate the warehouse where Shredder is holding April hostage. Shredder knows he didn't order pizza, but Rocksteady and Bebop are more gullible.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEq_Fz3bBO8 Does Michael the Terrible Boyfriend count? :p]
* In ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' episode "Trash of the Titans", Homer gets backstage at a [[U2]] gig by pretending to have a potato delivery.
Line 102 ⟶ 103:
* In ''[[The Secret Show]]'', the alternate dimension protagonists use this to get into the villain's base.
* In the reboot of ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'', Mojo Jojo tries to get into the Girls' slumber party this way; unfortunately for him, [[Paper-Thin Disguise| his disguise is pretty bad]], and not only do the Girls catch him, they and their guests [[Cool and Unusual Punishment| submit him to being dressed]] [[Humiliation Conga| in make-up and girly clothes.]]
* In an episode of ''[[Duck Tales]]'', when Launchpad finds out the entrance to the villain's lair is trough a deli, he tries to get in by disguising himself as a bread delivery man; but the clerk isn't expecting bread. Launchpad finds out he ''is'' expecting a delivery of pickles, but when he comes back to try that, he's interrupted by the real pickle delivery man. Not willing to give up, he manages to get in by hiding in one of the guy's pickle barrels which works for a while, until the smell of pickles gives him away.
* In the ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'' episode "Make Em Laugh", The Joker kidnaps Lisa Lorraine this way. Lisa knows she didn't order pizza, but offers to buy it anyway, which is when the Joker opens the box, which contains knock-out gas.
* The Joker uses a variation of the strategy in ''[[The Batman]]'' episode "Strange Minds" to kidnap Yin. He first slips a flyer for a pizza place under the door to her apartment (with a coupon); when she comes home from work, she's too tired to cook and decides to use it. She's suspicious when the operator says there's a "fifteen-seconds or it's free" offer, especially when it seems he actually gets there on time. Unfortunately, by then he has the jump on her.
* In an episode of ''[[Courage the Cowardly Dog]]'', Courage uses this trick to get in a villain's lair, convincing Eustace to act as the delivery man while he hides in the pizza box. The villain is smart enough to know he didn't order pizza, but his dimwitted assistant who answers the door does not. Eustace doesn't know what's going on, but he doesn't complain; as he says, it'd the easiest twenty bucks he's ever made.
