In fiction, a common way to trap a small animal is to hoist up a cardboard box with a stick, tie some string to it, and put some food in the middle. The expectation is that the animal will be attracted to the food and go in the middle of the box to eat, only then the person pulls out the string and the box falls, trapping the animal. This sometimes works, but it usually backfires, often accidentally trapping someone else. Compare to Bear Trap and Mouse Trap for other traps frequently found in cartoons. The Hunter Trapper may use the realistic version of this, the deadfall trap, which drops a heavy weight on the animal rather than a box. Truth in Television. |

In The Simpsons, Homer tries to lure Bart with a bottle of Focusin pills. The string tied to his finger went all the way into Moe's Tavern while he waited. In another episode, Lurleen Lumpkin is wanted for tax evasion and several Springfielders want to catch her because they love seeing former celebrities going down. Nelson tries to catch her with that kind of trap using a fake Grammy as bait. Krusty falls for the trap. | |

In "Bowser Junior Gets Rabies!", when Chef Pee Pee discovers Junior has rabies, he calls Brooklyn T. Guy for a solution on how to cure him. Brooklyn suggests capturing Junior using one of these traps before he shows up as a doctor. Chef Pee Pee does so, using Junior's golden Thomas & Friends toy as bait. When Brooklyn shows up later, he asks Chef Pee Pee if he recorded Junior's capture in the trap for him to see, but Chef Pee Pee tells him he didn't. | |

Looney Tunes: On Bugs Bunny's first regular appearance, "A Wild Hare", Elmer uses such a trap to try and get Bugs, but catches a Smelly Skunk instead. Elmer tries it again in "Hare Remover". Bugs finds the trap amusing ("My grandfather told me about these things, but I never thought I'd see one.") and decides to humor Elmer and get trapped, since he went to such trouble to make one. Elmer uses the trap a third time in "Pests for Guests", this time on the Goofy Gophers Mac and Tosh. As soon as the trap falls, the sounds of a car driving are heard from inside, followed by a loud car crash. An alarmed Elmer lifts the box to see what happened, accidentally letting the gophers out. Wile E. Coyote often tried the deadfall trap on the Roadrunner, and at least once on Bugs. You can probably guess how those turn out. In "Rabbit Stew and Rabbits Too!", the Quick Brown Fox attempts it on Rapid Rabbit. But when he lifts the box, there's nothing underneath: Rabbit is inside the box, thanks to Container Cling. |

Fallout 4 DLC "Wasteland Workshop" has traps for critters that work like this. These include traps for catching human foes with humorous signs aimed at their vices, promising Free drugs to the drug addled Raiders; and free ammo and money for the greedy Gunner faction. The real fun is what you put them up against like a pissed off gorilla or, even better, a very angry Deathclaw. Take note however: when you capture dangerous animals like Mirelurks and Deathclaws you will have your settlements attacked by them. Make sure your settlement is well defended and fortified in case of emergency. | |

The trap manages to capture its intended target before they can provide any bait, as the culprit (a gluttonous Cocotama named Mogutan) ends up trapped by attempting to lick the frosting on the inside of the box. | |

SuperMarioLogan: In "Bowser Junior Gets Rabies!", when Chef Pee Pee discovers Junior has rabies, he calls Brooklyn T. Guy for a solution on how to cure him. Brooklyn suggests capturing Junior using one of these traps before he shows up as a doctor. Chef Pee Pee does so, using Junior's golden Thomas & Friends toy as bait. When Brooklyn shows up later, he asks Chef Pee Pee if he recorded Junior's capture in the trap for him to see, but Chef Pee Pee tells him he didn't. In "Cody Gets Expelled!", when Junior, Joseph, and Cody make evil clones of themselves, Junior builds three of these to catch them. The bait Junior uses are his Thomas toy for his clone, Cody's Ken doll for Cody's clone, and a $5.00 bill for Joseph's clone. |

My World… and Welcome to It: John rigs a box propped up with a stick and baited with saucers of food and milk in order to try and catch the title feline character in "The Saga of Dimity Ann." He hopes to capture the cat with it in order to sneak her out of the house and abandon her in the nearby woods without getting bitten. Turns out he manages this by plying her with a catnip mouse instead. | |

In the Johnny Bravo episode "Bungled in the Jungle", King Raymond successfully caught Johnny in a box-and-stick trap by using a pinup calendar of supermodel Vendela Kirsebom as bait. This is after King Raymond commented on not being sure anyone would be stupid enough to fall for this kind of trap and going along with the plan only because he was running out of ideas for ways to trap Johnny. | |

One Nickelodeon Magazine SpongeBob SquarePants comic had SpongeBob and Patrick try this as one of their attempts at catching the Sea Leprechaun, with a Bland-Name Product version of Lucky Charms as the bait. It fails thrice: first it catches Patrick ("I got hungry."), then Mr. Krabs ("I can't resist a free breakfast"), then Plankton ("If Krabs has it, I want it!"). They then decide they need a new plan. | |
