Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A work that is not normally about theft or heists parodies or pays homage to The Caper genre for an installment. Usually, the characters have to steal something — the goal can be anything from a high-stakes Bank Robbery to their hated rival's secret apple pie recipe. In order to accomplish this they organize themselves into a Caper Crew and concoct A Simple Plan to sneak into a location and steal the target. Hijinks eventually ensue when the plan falls apart. References to well-known heist works like Ocean's Eleven will usually abound. Insofar as it might seem out-of-character (or just not usual for the show's genre) for the characters to pull off a caper, expect as much Caper Rationalization as it takes to justify the situation. Subtrope of The Caper and Episodes. Compare Noir Episode, which is another Out-of-Genre Experience that involves crime, but is usually darker. Compare and contrast Mystery Episode.

Police, Camera, Action!, despite being a Documentary, has done this. "Smash And Grab" focused on a gang who broke into a cash-and-carry warehouse and committed a heist in 10 minutes (turned into an Extremely Short Timespan on the show) using two cars. This episode overlaps with Road Trip Episode as the criminals went through Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire and West Midlands in a three-hour pursuit before they were caught. A more downplayed example occurred in the episode "Crime Cars", which showed a group of thieves in Kansas attempting a heist on an ATM at a gas station — but at Stupid Crooks levels, unlike the above example. |

Parodied in the Bojack Horseman episode "The Shot", in which Bojack recruits his friends to break into the Nixon Library in order to use their replica of the Oval Office to film a scene for Secretariat that the producer had cut. The episode uses many of the tropes from caper movies, including recruiting an ex-con, planning the caper, and the typical chaotic escape, but Surprisingly Realistic Outcome at the end when they present the completed scene to the producer and he angrily fires the director for going behind his back, replacing her with someone more pliable. | |

Its second reboot counterpart, "A Diamond Heist", is kind of the same plot except Beer and Cactus join Trowel in stealing the diamond while Wallet decides to steal diamond figurines.

In "The Scorpion and The Frog", season 13, episode 8 of Supernatural, Sam and Dean are roped into stealing a trunk for a Crossroad Demon in exchange for a locating spell they desperately need. However, the trunk is hidden inside the supernaturally warded, physically booby-trapped compound of an extremely paranoid occult collector. Paired with Smash, a master safecracker who has been promised the return of her soul in return for her participation, and Grab, a demon who gets them the detailed blue plans and shows them how to counteract the warding, the Winchesters clear the Indian Jones-style maze and obtain their MacGuffin. | |

As is typical for these kinds of episodes, things go wrong almost from the beginning, but interestingly, not only is Glamour unsurprised to see them, apparently someone tries this every year. | |

Persona 5 could arguably be considered one for Persona as a whole, and perhaps even for ShinMegamiTensei as well, depending on your point of view. It’s a game that stands out by being heavily influenced by picaresque fiction, to the point of having the main cast and their personas being partially modeled after folkloric thieves, outlaws and rebels. It also features them stealing people’s treasures by infiltrating their palaces (It Makes Sense in Context) in a way that’s reminiscent of planning a heist. To make it even more apparent, they also end up infiltrating and stealing from locations that are heavily associated with heist stories, such as a bank, a casino and even a cruise ship during the story. | |

The Dead Money DLC for Fallout: New Vegas is this with a hitch. The Courier and a motley crew of companions must break into the vault of the high-tech but never opened Sierra Madre Resort and Casino to find the treasures within. The catch is none of them are doing it of their own free will; explosive bomb collars have been fastened to their necks by the mastermind, and if any of them die or betray the others, their heads will all explode. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe Unlike other films in the seriesnote which sometimes mix the superhero genre with other genres, Ant-Man is a straight-up caper, with the Pyms hiring ex-crook Scott Lang to steal research from Darren Cross. Avengers: Endgame is centered around the "time-heist", in which the Avengers (once again with Scott Lang) travel to different years to gather the six Infinity Stones, specifically to undo Thanos' snap at the end of Infinity War. |

Mass Effect 2: the Stolen Memory DLC sees Commander Shepard teaming up with master thief Kasumi Goto to infiltrate a black-tie party hosted by an arms dealer and steal back the neural implant that contains the memories of her love, Keiji. A decent chunk of the Citadel DLC storyline for Mass Effect 3 is patterned after one, with Shepard infiltrating a similarly fancy party at a casino, except that they're after information, rather than money. Because the Citadel DLC was also intended as a big sendoff to the trilogy, if you had the Stolen Memory DLC for 2, you can go back to the casino later to find a device planted by Kasumi for her own job and can choose to either warn her crew off it or wish them on their way. |

Bob's Burgers has done a few episodes in which the Belcher kids plan a heist. "The Kids Rob a Train": Stuck in a train hosting a wine tasting, the kids and Regular-Sized Rudy plan to steal chocolate from the kitchen. "The Taking of Funtime One Two Three": After discovering that the games at Family Funtime are fixed, Louise plans to hustle them out of enough tickets to win a dune buggy with help from Mr. Fischoeder and her friends. Turns out Fischoeder was double-crossing them (he's got a share in the arcade), but Louise had caught on and did a double cross of her own, hustling Wonder Wharf behind Fischoeder's back and winning the biggest prize at the ball toss. "Yes Without My Zeke": Zeke used toilet paper to write obscenities on the ceiling of the detention room, and if anyone finds out, he'll be taken to another school for children with behavioral problems. The Belchers have to sneak into school on Saturday to erase it before anyone finds out on Monday. |

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Holidays Unwrapped features Sunset Shimmer, Pinkie Pie and Applejack attempting to devise schemes to get inside the locked school to retrieve an item from Sunset's locker, with each having a heist-style Imagine Spot complete with Cool Shades. Sunset's plan is the most traditionally heist-y of the bunch, with Sunset and Pinkie donning Spy Catsuits, Twilight serving as The Cracker and Fluttershy providing a distraction by way of a Feathered Fiend owl; Twilight calls this plan out as implausible and a crime. The others manage to be even more ridiculous, with Pinkie planning to use a Delicious Distraction to lure Principal Celestia outside and Applejack wanting to use Super Strength to tear the school off its foundations. Ultimately, Twilight just calls Celestia to ask to be let in. | |

The My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic episode "Sparkle's Seven" references Ocean's Eleven in the title, and focuses on Celestia challenging Twilight to steal a crown in order to test out the castle's new security. Twilight gets her friends together in order to do this. The episode also feature's other Eleven hallmarks, such as plans-within-plans. My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Holidays Unwrapped features Sunset Shimmer, Pinkie Pie and Applejack attempting to devise schemes to get inside the locked school to retrieve an item from Sunset's locker, with each having a heist-style Imagine Spot complete with Cool Shades. Sunset's plan is the most traditionally heist-y of the bunch, with Sunset and Pinkie donning Spy Catsuits, Twilight serving as The Cracker and Fluttershy providing a distraction by way of a Feathered Fiend owl; Twilight calls this plan out as implausible and a crime. The others manage to be even more ridiculous, with Pinkie planning to use a Delicious Distraction to lure Principal Celestia outside and Applejack wanting to use Super Strength to tear the school off its foundations. Ultimately, Twilight just calls Celestia to ask to be let in. |

The Doctor Who episode "Time Heist" is this, with the Twelfth Doctor, Clara, and other subjects are forced by the Architect to rob the Bank of Karabraxos, a whole banking planet for the sort of people who can buy their own star systems in An Offer You Can't Refuse (along the lines of "rob the bank or you're dead"). | |

Tropers: The Series: S1:E5, "The Tropers Rob a Bank" is about the tropers getting together to rob a bank to get money to go on a skiing trip. Due to many of them conflicting with each other, such as Tropes and Puma who are not so eager to commit a crime, and Random who leaves the group to get coffee, the heist doesn't go well, and they come out with barely any money. | |

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is a Slice of Life comedy, and the episode "Kimmy Pulls off a Heist" involves Titus wanting to use the customer-only corner store bathroom. He and Kimmy concoct a plan to make a copy of the bathroom key. The episode descends into parody when the store owner (who takes his bathroom very seriously) catches on and tries to pressure the "innocent" Kimmy into turning on Titus, while Titus grandiosely declares that they're now in too deep. | |
