"Help! Help! Trapped in Title Factory!" | comment |
Someone is trapped, or forced to work against their will, in some kind of facility that produces publicly available goods (such as fortune cookie fortunes, or candybar wrappings). They proceed to use them as a means of communicating with the outside world and asking for help. In comedic versions, it's usually just a throwaway gag, and the fate of the mysterious victim isn't ever mentioned. And whether it's played for laughs or drama, it's a subtrope of Distress Call. Compare with Quiet Cry for Help. Not to be confused with: I'm trapped here, and Trope Co. is forcing me to type up trope entries! Send help! |

Starbound: If playing as an Apex and inspecting a standard issue chair, the player character will note that they are mass produced in factories... and add that they once found the words "Help us" engraved in a chair frame like this. Given that the Apex are suffering under an oppressive, totalitarian regime, it's not at all played for laughs. | |

Discworld Hogfather: A message is in a Hogswatch cracker and says "Help help help Ive fallen in the crakker machine I cant keep runin on this roller please get me ou-". Someone says it's the same old mottos as when they were kids. Interesting Times: The Silver Horde interrupt a tax collector in the Forbidden City, just as he's writing (in the traditional poetic form) that Seven Lucky Logs owes one pig and three measurements of rice. Before they take him along as a guide, Cohen dictates a replacement for that text, and so the collector leaves a note reading "Roses are red, violets are blue. Seven Lucky Logs to be given one pig and all the rice he can carry because he is One Lucky Peasant. By order of Six Beneficient Winds, Collector of Revenues. Help. Help. If anyone reads this I am being held prisoner by an evil eunuch. Help." |

xkcd: "Pi Equals": The notation of pi is broken up by someone trapped in a "universe factory". "Exploits of a Mom": The alt text mentions that the titular mother named her daughter "Help I'm trapped in a driver's license factory" as a way to mess with people. xkcd fans like variations of this too; one strip consists of a chat log where a character trapped in another's computer is trying to message for help with the other denies their presence. |

Neopets: In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (a.k.a. COPPA), which forbids collecting personal data from people under 13 without parental consent, users under 13 years old are locked out of most things that involve entering text beyond things like their usernames and pet namesnote While this is much stricter than COPPA actually requires, there had been problems with kids entering personal info on their user lookups and shops of their own volition, so those had to go. Areas of the site that would allow custom text and HTML to most users only gives a selection of canned plaintext responses if your account is in this protected state. One of the 31 available options for a shop description is: "Help! I'm stuck in the shop and all I have to communicate with is this drop down list!" | |

My Sister, My Writer, an anime which was infamous for its hideous animation and Cliché Storm story, has one of the staff credited as æ£ç›´å›°å¤ª ("Shoujiki Komatta"). That's not a real person's name - it instead translates to "honestly troublesome", but can also be read as "we're in deep trouble", referring to the anime's own Troubled Production. | |

Magic: The Gathering: The flavor text for "Gleemax", a card from a joke set, is a plea from help from the R&D team asking to be freed from the giant telepathic brain mentally controlling them and banking on the fact that it doesn't care enough about flavor text to read it. | |

Oglaf: A poet has been violently enslaved in his own home by a muse that's a Brawn Hilda, emphasis on "Brawn", and writes "Please please please help me" on every volume's dedication page. He's later rescued by the personification of his own crippling self-doubt. | |

Robot Chicken: The episode titles of the first part of the fourth season form the message "Help me. I'm trapped in a DVD factory. They took my thumbs. Two weeks without food. Tell my mom I love her, but not in that way. Love, Maurice PS: Yes, in that way." In a twist to this trope, the second half's episodes titles make up the factory's response: "Dear Consumer, we are a humble factory. Maurice was caught unionizing our labor. President Hu forbids it! Due to constraints of time and budget, the ramblings of Maurice cannot be erased, so sorry. Please do not notify our contractors. Especially the animal Keith Crofford!" | |

Ninjago: In season 4, when Cole is eliminated from the Tournament of Elements and forced to work in Chen's noodle factory, he puts a message in a fortune cookie to alert his friends to the situation and his upcoming escape attempt. In this case, the cookie isn't going out into the world at large, but to a party for Chen's cult and the other elemental masters (most of whom don't realize at this point that they're already prisoners), and Cole is highly aware that there's a very real possibility that the cookie will wind up going to someone on the wrong side. In fact, Chen very nearly reads the fortune himself before he gets distracted and it winds up in the hands of Skylor. | |

Doctor Who: In "Kerblam!", the Doctor receives a rather overdue package from the titular MegaCorp with "HELP ME" typed on the back of the packing slip inside. This prompts her and her companions to head off for the company's headquarters to investigate. The trope ends up being subverted, as the message didn't originate from a trapped worker, but from Kerblam!'s operating system. It had discovered one employee's plans to execute a terrorist attack by rigging thousands of packages with bombs, while nobody else in the company noticed anything amiss. Ryan, who works in a warehouse back in Sheffield, initially dismisses the message as a prank, implying that he and his co-workers used to do similar things as pranks at work. | |

Help I Am Being Held Prisoner, by Donald E. Westlake: The message "HELP I AM BEING HELD PRISONER" begins to appear in various kinds of goods produced in a prison soon after compulsive practical joker Harry arrives there. With every message that appears, Harry finds himself more trapped between the rock of the warden and the hard place of his fellow convicts. Subverted: Harry wasn't sending the messages, it was the gardener who was about to be released and didn't want to leave. | |
