Line 78:
** The commentary reveals this is one of the very few complete relics of [[Joss Whedon]]'s pass at the script.
* Double subversion in ''[[Monsters vs. Aliens]]''. The heroes (who consist of an amorphous blob, a fish-man and a human/cockroach hybrid) adopt [[Paper-Thin Disguise|Paper Thin Disguises]] to bluff their way past an alien clone. He recognises the fake clone as "defective beyond repair"... and immediately orders the other two to dispose of him. And gives them a key card. And a gun.
* The Guards in ''[[Tangled]]''. They cannot find an old lady who has kidnapped the baby princess for almost two decades, when she happened to be in a tower within riding distance. Then said princess' crown get'sgets stolen right under thier noses. Then one of the thieves comes back to Corona later with a girl with 70 feet long of hair and they don't notice it, even though he is dancing around. The only competent member is [[Cool Horse|Maximus]], and {{spoiler|he's the only one to make crime virtually dissapear}}.
** Not to mention that the same thief was able to walk up to the palace and meet the King and Queen face to face.
* The guards in ''[[The Incredibles]]'' fall prey to a few of these. They're decent enough at their jobs when they're in action, but it's the boring surveillance part of the day that always slips them up. At one point in the movie, they ''all'' leave their posts to check on a colleague who's just collapsed. Later, they don't notice Helen when she's right behind them. She even talks. Later still, nobody is paying attention to the security cameras and are all partying in the background. Only [[Punch Clock Villain|Mirage]] notices the escapees that don't even bother to avoid the security cameras. Most notably, though, is later in the same scene where it gets absurd enough that Bob [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] it. They enter a large room with no one in it and he absently wonders, "Where are all the guards?"
