Alice is up to something that would get her punished if she'd get caught. However, she's not planning to get away with it. On the contrary, getting punished is at least part of the point. Maybe she considers the punishment to be a form of Unishment, or maybe getting caught is a part of some bigger scheme. The former is often related to Happiness in Slavery, Power Dynamics Kink, or Casual Kink, while the latter is often related to I Surrender, Suckers or Xanatos Gambit. Note that the difference is in the motivation, not in the act itself. While this trope is usually played for Rule of Funny or Rule of Sexy, it can also be played for Rule of Creepy as a twisted masochistic version of Entitled to Have You: "I can do whatever I want to you against your will because I'd enjoy you getting mad at me or beating me up." May result in either Threat Backfire or Can't Get in Trouble for Nuthin'. Compare Briar Patching, Get into Jail Free, Too Kinky to Torture, Prank Punishment. Examples |

He's taken away by the police, with Vandamm's men unable to intervene, and is later brought to see The Professor, who explains to Thornhill what's really going on. | |

In a first season episode of ICarly, Sam gets detention on the same day the main characters are planning to do a Milestone Celebration episode of the titular Show Within a Show, so Carly and Freddie decide to deliberately get detention too so they can serve it with her. Unfortunately for them, they Can't Get in Trouble for Nuthin', until Carly manages to piss off the local Sadist Teacher in the last minute of the school day by closing her locker too loudly, and he gives her detention on the spot. Freddie never manages it, so he sneaks into detention through the window. | |

Lisa of Sunstone loves getting in trouble with her friend and mistress Ally — as she explains to Anne, it's often a good idea, when you are the sub in a BDSM relationship, to give your dom a reason to "punish" you, as it does wonders for setting the mood.note In real-life BDSM, YMMV wildly. This is downright fundamental to some D/s relationships, but other kinksters' worst pet peeve. Communicating with your partner is important! | |

On Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Bloo tries to get himself grounded so he wouldn't have a disgusting-looking dish being prepared for that night's dinner. However, Herriman winds up ignoring him while punishing everyone else in the house for nonsensical crimes so that they don't find out about his carrot addiction. | |

In The Dark Knight, part of The Joker's plan involves getting arrested by the police, because that's the only way he can get close to (and murder) Lao. After a protracted chase through the city, he appears to want Batman to run him down in the street, apparently unconcerned with his own life as long as he can get Bats to break his one rule. | |

In an episode of American Dad! Francine discovers that Stan spanks Steve when he misbehaves and discovers that she enjoys it after he demonstrates it on her when she accuses him of being too harsh. She then convinces Stan to spank her instead when Steve acts up and proceeds to spend half the episode framing Steve for things so Stan would take out his frustration on her. | |

In the Avatar: The Last Airbender two-parter "The Boiling Rock," Sokka's first escape plan involves stealing the Cooler (the solitary confinement cell, designed to almost-freeze firebenders to suppress their bending) and using it as a boat to drift across the volcanic lake that gives the prison its name. This means someone has to get inside to unbolt it, and the quickest way to do so is to have Zuko (their only firebending ally) get caught fighting. | |

Kaeloo: The main reason for Mr. Cat trying to make Kaeloo angry is that he finds her attractive when she's angry. In one episode, Stumpy tries to misbehave in class so he will get sent home or be made to stand in the hall. It backfires since he is forced to write lines instead. |

Destra spends most of The Intimates doing every outlandish thing she can think of to get expelled from the Superhero School she attends. None of her attempts work. She has a history with this sort of behavior, having succeeded in provoking expulsions from 15 boarding schools over the past few years. She's not really into the whole "school" thing. | |

National Security: Hank is a white police officer who has been wrongfully convicted of beating a black man. On the way to prison, he is assaulted by a couple of black inmates and subsequently restrained by a guard who threatens him with solitary confinement if he acts up. Seeing many more inmates waiting to attack him, Hank immediately elbows the guard in the face. Upon being released from solitary a few months later and seeing more inmates waiting, he immediately punches the guard in the face and resignedly returns to his sell. | |
