Line 88:
** In ''Super DuckTales'', when Scrooge gets arrested and thrown into jail, Mrs. Beakley smuggles in a grenade in a cake so that he can blow up the walls and get out. It...doesn't go to plan, and Huey, Dewey and Louie have to call on Gizmo Duck to break him out.
** One particularly amusing variation has the ''cake itself'' be the tool. It contains nothing but actual cake, but the cake gives one of the Beagle Boys a case of the hiccups so bad his brothers are able to ''use him as a jackhammer'' to dig out.
** Another amusing example is from the [[Five-Episode Pilot]] when "El Capitan" sends them a package of explosives disguised as chocolates. Burger, being the [[Big Eater]] of the group, thinks they ''are'' chocolates and eats one, [[Eat the Bomb|with rather unpleasant results]]. And even when they realize what they are, [[Too Dumb to Live|he asks for another later]]. Fortunately, they keep him from eating any more, and use them to escape.
* A ''[[House of Mouse]]'' cartoon has Mickey ask Goofy to do this after Mickey is locked in jail. The guard notices; and he and Goofy end up having a long discussion on how this wouldn't really work and what tools should have been used, ending with the guard concluding that the easiest way to escape would be to knock him out. The guard then proceeds to do so to himself.
* In ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'', Phantom Limb sends his regards to King Gorilla by baking a "Tarzan" into a cake. [[Squick]].
* This trope is subverted in the [[Hanna-Barbera]] cartoon ''The Good, the Bad and [[Huckleberry Hound]]'', when one of the Dalton Brothers (Stinky, I think) is in jail and Huck eats a cake Stinky received from one of the other Daltons in disguise. This was so Huck could check for a file, and there wasn't one. The reason it's a subversion is that it's obviously one of the other Daltons and you'd expect the cake to have a file, but then it doesn't (so far as I remember).
** That's because while he was busy eating the cake, the Dalton was handing ''jackhammers'' to his boys from out of his purse.
* ''[[Darkwing Duck]]'',
** Spoofed in an episode
** In another episode (Adopt-A-Con), Darkwing is thrown in Jail (Again), and Gos comes by with a cake..that has a chainsaw in it. It then keeps going, getting more random each time.
* Subverted in ''[[CatDog]]'': A bunch of immates receive a file, but Shriek uses it on her fingernails and then uses said fingernails to pick the lock.
