Bob cons others into helping him with a tedious, thankless, or otherwise unpleasant task. Usually, Bob was meant to do the chore himself, and runs this con to drop the work onto another person's shoulders. The victim may or may not realize that he's been had. How Bob pulls off this impressive social feat varies. Reverse Psychology is popular, as is pulling a Bavarian Fire Drill, or making a Chain of Deals (but anyone with enough guile to do this usually has many tricks up his sleeve). If the "fence" is a dangerous or potentially lethal thing to "paint," Bob might appeal to the victim's sense of honor, pride, nobility, or religion while simultaneously downplaying the risks involved. Sometime no deception is needed when this overlaps with Only One Finds It Fun, as they already genuinely enjoyed the task and often volunteered themselves for the task. Notable Fence Painting activities include being in a Mad Scientist's experiment, any Deal with the Devil, or joining a war against a country you didn't even know existed. Or painting a fence. Based on the famous whitewashing scene in Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, where Tom not only tricks the local kids into doing his chore for him, he convinces most of them to pay him for the opportunity. This makes it Older Than Radio. Compare Stone Soup, Wax On, Wax Off, The Compliance Game, and Briar Patching. |

In It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Mac was putting gold spray paint on Frank's chair. Partway through, Mac asked Frank why he wants him to do it & Frank said he wants people to think his chair has been dipped in gold. Mac then criticized the idea & asked Frank how he got him to do it, to which, Frank replied, "If you make my chair look real nice, I'll tell you." | |

A Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends short has Mr. Herriman punish Bloo with the chore of sorting the trash. Mac comes up with the idea for Bloo to make the other imaginary friends think that the job is fun so they would wanna do it and the two of them can sneak off and play (having been inspired by the Tom Sawyer book). This actually works; however, Bloo starts to think maybe sorting the trash really is fun, and forces everyone else to leave so he can have all the fun to himself. After chasing them all off, he quickly recalls that oh yeah, they were tricking everyone, and now he's stuck doing the job himself. | |

In The Big Bang Theory episode, "The Collaboration Contamination", Sheldon is jealous that Amy is collaborating with Howard on a project, and Bernadette uses this to get him to do chores around the house, telling him that Howard loves doing chores and Sheldon doing them for him would upset him. She even mentions the Trope Namer when she asks Sheldon if he's read Tom Sawyer. Played with in that Sheldon genuinely does enjoy cleaning and organizing tasks that most people try to avoid (and admitted to Bernadette that he was having fun) but he was still upset over the deception. In "The Meteorite Manifestation", Sheldon mistakes Howard and Bernadette complaining about spending all day at the zoning office for bragging and rubbing his nose in it, doubling as Only One Finds It Fun, because Sheldon extremely eagerly volunteers to go with them to help them solve their issue. Unlike the previous example, no deception was involved, just Sheldon's weird idea of fun working to their advantage. |

The main character for The Great Brain books was pretty good at this. Tom is a budding con artist; while he's home from boarding school he asks his younger brother John (the narrator) if there's anything new in town, and on receiving a negative reply, bets that if John's wrong and there is something new in town, John will do all Tom's chores while Tom's home on break. John being a 1900s US young male, hadn't thought about babies being born. | |

In the Muppet Babies (2018) episode, "Gonzo's Clean Sweep", Gonzo tricks his friends into doing his chores for him so that he can practice his latest stunt. He tricks Kermit and Animal into putting the blocks away by pretending the blocks are gems and the toy box is a treasure chest, Fozzie and Summer into sweeping up the leaves by pretending they're fallen stars covering the moon, and Piggy into setting the table by telling her she's serving lunch for the Queen. As a result of doing Gonzo's chores for him, his friends are behind on their chores and don't get to have their ice cream, which results in a My God, What Have I Done? moment from Gonzo and him using his new stunt to help his friends finish their chores. | |

Green Lantern Corps had a sub-plot about Kyle Rayner painting a large mural depicting the history of the Corps on the interior of a building. He spends the first days of work priming and realizes it would take a very long time to finish. As numerous other Lanterns keep coming to question him about what he's doing — and since many of them are aliens who have never painted before — he gets them to prime the building for him. Guy Gardner even calls him out on using the "Tom Sawyer" trick, though it was very much a labor of love for everyone involved. | |

South Park: Cartman manages to make a dying amusement park thrive by creating ads telling people they aren't allowed in. This false scarcity creates booming interest in the park. However, this was completely unintentional on Cartman's part; he really didn't want to let anyone in and wanted to keep the park all to himself, only creating the ads to troll people. But then, one of the rides breaks, so Cartman is forced to let in two customers per day so he could afford to hire a repairman to fix it. Then, he has to let in two more customers per day so he could hire a security guard to stop people from sneaking in. Then he has to let in more, and so on and so on, until the park was totally packed all day every day. Cartman was making tons of money from the now-thriving park, but he didn't even care, because all he wanted was his own private amusement park where he didn't have to wait in line for rides. | |

He manages to get several children to paint in his place in exchange for stuff, but it's not long until things go wrong. It starts with Smudge painting an Elephant Monica, and ends with Jimmy's dad running into a gang covered in paint. Jimmy's friends run away, and his father now chores him with raking leaves. When Smudge teases him once more about having to work, he claims that he's having fun playing farmer and nobody can join. | |
