Alice hides from Bob behind an inanimate object. When Bob moves away or isn't looking, she picks up the object and follows him. The object is most often a bush (hence the name), but it may be anything that fades into the background (such as a cardboard box or traffic cone). Frequently the object or Prop will end up somewhere it has no right to be (e.g., a shrub may end up in the middle of a street). Sometimes the object will fall apart almost completely, leaving them with only a few twigs left, which they then either look at and toss away, or maybe continue to hide behind. Alternately, the disguise might work a little too well and get mistaken for the real thing, with humorous consequences (e.g., a fake tree getting "marked" by a passing dog). Often this overlaps with Paper-Thin Disguise, but not always; this can actually be Truth in Television to a degree. It's called "Change Blindness." So long as Bob doesn't actually see the bush move, there's a good chance he won't notice that it's in a new location. There are some very fascinating videos on YouTube demonstrating this. Thusly, if Alice is competent, she may not actually be obvious to Bob, only to the audience. Occasionally utilized by Naked People Trapped Outside. If the object used to hide is literature of some kind this can be a Newspaper-Thin Disguise. If the shrubbery is stationary, that's Tree Cover. If you're doing this on stage, it's Playing a Tree. Not to be confused with When Trees Attack, which is when the "shrubbery" is capable of moving of its own accord. |

In the Toy Story Licensed Game, the ninth level, "Food and Drink", involves Buzz and Woody disguising themselves with a discarded burger box and milkshake cup to sneak into Pizza Planet, which is based on a similar scene from the movie the game is based on. They have to stand still any time humans walk by, with failing to do so costing Woody some of his health. | |

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain takes place in the forgotten apex of cardboard box technology; one long strip of paint (and a company logo) is considered extensive camouflage, you can paste a giant sticker on your boxes to look like a soldier or a hot babe or an anime idol (and they'll buy it), and your literally paper-thin boxes are bulletproof. In a firefight, just pull out a cardboard box and you get 270-degree protection from bullets, and you can stand up in them and shoot for full-frontal body armor. And you can carry up to 56 boxes. And they even come in waterproof and smokescreen! | |

At one point in the second series of Rosario + Vampire, Kurumu, Mizore, and Kokoa begin trailing Gin, all three girls hiding under cardboard boxes and peering out through the slits normally used as handgrips. Oddly, they've drawn mouths on the boxes under these openings — and the "mouth" on Mizore's box has her trademark lollipop drawn sticking out. | |

The Dark Souls series has the Chameleon spell, which does basically this: your character is covered by an illusion which makes you look like a piece of scenery until either the player attacks or is attacked themselves. A Chameleon'ed character can still move around without breaking the illusion, but this kind of gives away the disguise (trees, boxes, and the like typically do not move around on their own... even in Dark Souls). | |

One of the units in Calculords is the SMC Flanker, a scout hiding behind a bush, wearing all green with branches sticking out of his headband. They're very mobile — they have the Double Time ability, which means they advance twice as fast. The SMC Flanker is one of the only Push units with Double Time, maybe because the idea is that the enemy doesn't notice he's there. | |

This trope is so frequently used in Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies that it is difficult to think of specific examples. One finds it impossible to recall, for instance, "Don't Give Up The Sheep," in which Ralph Wolf disguises himself as a shrub and Sam Sheepdog chases him disguised as a tree. | |

ToeJam & Earl featured an enemy called the Mailbox Monster which, at a glance, appeared to be a normal mailbox from which the player could buy presents through mail order. However, if the player approached, it would sprout arms and legs (with eyes visible through the mail slot) to pursue the player. If the player watched it for long enough without approaching, it would open the mail slot to peek out, revealing its eyes. | |

In LEGO The Lord of the Rings, using Frodo's Elven Cloak or the Mithril Camouflage Tome lets you do this. In Cirith Ungol, Frodo has to disguise himself as a crate to get past Orc sentries. LEGO Harry Potter and LEGO Indiana Jones also allow you to pick up bushes and crates and hide in them, though it's never actually required in the latter. In the former it is sometimes required, and you can get an achievement called "Solid Snape" by playing as Snape and hiding in Mobile Shrubbery. | |

This wouldn't be so bad, (As that episode's Zako Zako Hour shows them successfully blending in) but they've also cut holes for their mono-eyes, in the shape of their eye-screens!

Konohamaru's signature move in pre-Shippuuden Naruto, using a blanket painted to look like a section of fence and a box painted to look like a one-foot-tall brick wall (as lampshaded by the abridgement). A fence-post blanket, it should be noted, that he holds sideways. And then he compliments Naruto for seeing through his disguise. A similar gag appears in Dragon Ball, where Agent Murasaki tries to hide from Goku by leaning against a tree and holding up a bark-pattened cloth, but instead holds it up backwards, the reverse side being an American flag. Oops. In the Hidden Star Village filler arc, Tenten and Lee hide under a barrel while following two of Akahoshi's henchmen. They get discovered quite easily. |

Total Drama: Duncan and Courtney join forces in "Basic Straining" to steal the good food only Chris and Chef have access to. They sneak their way over to the hosts' tent disguised as bushes to avoid detection. While exiled to Boney Island in "Food Fright", Cameron dresses up as a fire hydrant for the explicit purpose of getting peed on by a large carnivore. His reasoning is that he'll get to smell like said carnivore and therefore no other animal will dare to go near him. To ensure the success of his plan, Cameron follows around a bear, standing still every time it looks around, until finally it takes a whiz. |

World of Warcraft: Two variants of trees have been used. One has a tree suit made for the character so they can observe a traitorous meeting, the other has a new Death Knight using a 2D wooden 'tree' to ambush a messenger (complete with a lampshade hung by said messenger). In Cataclysm, a Westfall quest has the player use a box to spy on a meeting between the mysterious new chief of the Defias and a magi ogre who has joined them. The box is described as the quest giver's home. |

Red (2010): Frank Moses has to go to retired Femme Fatale Spy Victoria to get patched up. The others are convinced she might shoot him instead, but she's quite friendly once she realises Frank isn't there to kill her. She tells Frank to lie down so she can look at his injury, "And tell Marvin to stand down before he gets hurt." Cue zoom in to Marvin badly dressed as a bush out the window behind her. | |

Mario Party Advance: The minigame Barrel Peril has a solo player wear a barrel and use it to cross a street guarded by several Chain Chomps, which are sleeping. As soon as the Chomps hear the player's steps, they'll ram onto them. The player can hide within the barrel to block the ram and then continue moving; if they do not hide in time before the hit, they'll be stunned and waste precious time. The player has to reach the goal as fast as possible to attempt a record break. In Shroom City mode, the stroll is shorter, but the player has to reach the end under a time limit. | |

In the Metal Gear games, everyone knows there's no disguise more effective than a cardboard box. That is, until Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots came up with the Drum Can. Less conspicuous in the urban ruins, plus lots of fun to lay on its side and roll around in and has better protection against bullets. (Though take care of rolling around for too long at one time, lest Snake vomit due to excessive dizziness) Both the box and drum can return in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and both are pretty effective. What's more, a group of enemy mooks now hide in cardboard boxes themselves. It gets silly in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater where Naked Snake can have several different camouflage patterns of boxes and they still fool guards... except when they notice a box moving. Of course, none of the Comm Officers believe them. In Revengence, Raiden can actually roll in the Drum Cans and get dizzy from it. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain takes place in the forgotten apex of cardboard box technology; one long strip of paint (and a company logo) is considered extensive camouflage, you can paste a giant sticker on your boxes to look like a soldier or a hot babe or an anime idol (and they'll buy it), and your literally paper-thin boxes are bulletproof. In a firefight, just pull out a cardboard box and you get 270-degree protection from bullets, and you can stand up in them and shoot for full-frontal body armor. And you can carry up to 56 boxes. And they even come in waterproof and smokescreen! |

When the chomp wakes up, the players must quickly duck into the barrels or else they will be captured and taken away. If they don't stop fast enough, the players will for some reason be unable to duck their entire heads in to the barrel and still be caught. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past: There are Spiny Beetles that hide under bushes, rocks, or skulls and walk towards Link when he gets close. The Power Bracelet is required to remove the rocks and skulls to make the beetles vulnerable, but bushes can be slashed. These mooks return in several subsequent games, namely Link's Awakening, Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, and The Minish Cap The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: The forest areas (including the Deku Tree dungeon), as well as many secret caves, have Deku Scrubs who disguise themselves under bunches of grass or leaves. While many of them are kind enough to do business with you after you deflect their attacks onto them, the Mad Scrubs will attempt to flee as soon as you attack them back and you'll have to kill them so they stop being a problem. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: Like in Ocarina of Time, Deku Scrubs often disguise themselves under bushes or Deku Flowers. However, with the exception of the Mad Scrubs (who are still unambiguously evil), they're all friendly this time, and the Business Scrubs will do business with you without even attacking you beforehand (and some of them will even give you their Deku Flowers if you give them title deeds during a Chain of Deals). The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: You can hide in a barrel in this fashion. The Moblin guard will not notice you even if you significantly shorten their patrol path by hiding in it, even as their noses clip through the barrel. (hey will likely, however, notice if your barrel is assaulted and consequently broken by a Rat, but only because you'll be standing out in the open. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: Octoroks await their preys or enemies within seemingly-normal bushes, effectively acting like the Deku and Mad Scrubs from Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: octoroks can dig through the dirt while staying under the plants as they stalk Link. |

Toy Story: In the original film, Woody and Buzz use a drink cup and a burger box to sneak into Pizza Planet. In Toy Story 2, the members of the rescue party hide under traffic cones to safely cross the street (and wreak havoc among the cars in the process). At one point, Rex tries to get across a sidewalk while hiding underneath a bush disguise. However, with each step, he loses some of the leaves, ultimately being left with just one. |

Super Mario Bros.: Yoshi's Island has Spy Guys, Shy Guys who hide beneath a batch of yellow flowers. They make a reappearance in Paper Mario 64, this time wearing camo and hiding under a bush. Mario Party 2: The minigame Sneak 'n' Snore involves the players sneaking to a door by a sleeping Chain Chomp. When the chomp wakes up, the players must quickly duck into the barrels or else they will be captured and taken away. If they don't stop fast enough, the players will for some reason be unable to duck their entire heads in to the barrel and still be caught. Mario Party Advance: The minigame Barrel Peril has a solo player wear a barrel and use it to cross a street guarded by several Chain Chomps, which are sleeping. As soon as the Chomps hear the player's steps, they'll ram onto them. The player can hide within the barrel to block the ram and then continue moving; if they do not hide in time before the hit, they'll be stunned and waste precious time. The player has to reach the goal as fast as possible to attempt a record break. In Shroom City mode, the stroll is shorter, but the player has to reach the end under a time limit. |

Private Snafu: In "A Lecture on Camouflage", after his jeep is shot by a Nazi shell, Snafu takes cover in the nearby woods, but the Technical Fairy First Class reminds him to cover his tracks. After doing so, it is time for Snafu to relax. He smokes under the shade of a tree. He is not alarmed when the tree asks for a light, speaking in a German accent. The Fairy has to remind him that the enemy can use camouflage too. Snafu sneaks away, but he is being followed by enemy soldiers posing as a tree, a tree stump, and a boulder. | |

In "The Lion has Phones", a montage shows the Home Guard platoon disguising themselves as haystacks, garbage cans, and gravestones for their camouflage training. Then when we see a row of milk churns lined up like the platoon, who actually turn out to be hiding behind a fake wall attached to a nearby barn. |

The title character of Macbeth is told by the witches that he shall be invincible until "great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill shall come against him." In the end, he's defeated after an invading army uses shrubbery taken from Birnam Wood to conceal their numbers. (Incidentally, J. R. R. Tolkien felt this was a cop-out, and he decided to write a story where the trees could really come to attack. Thus, the Ents.) | |

Amusingly, he continues with the charade even after Hawkeye calls him out, Klinger tries to escape from camp by disguising himself as a shrub in "Dear Peggy"; he says he would have made it if not for that dog. In "Are You Now, Margaret?", Colonel Flagg has a covert meeting with Winchester by hiding himself in a garbage bin. After Winchester leaves, someone comes out of the kitchen to empty a load of garbage... |

It gets silly in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater where Naked Snake can have several different camouflage patterns of boxes and they still fool guards... except when they notice a box moving. Of course, none of the Comm Officers believe them. | |

Played with in She-Ra: Princess of Power. Resident Horde shapeshifter Imp took the form of a small bush so he could spy on the Rebels at a fair. When the Rebels moved their conversation elsewhere, he proceeded to simply hike up his lower branches and follow them... on tippy-toe no less. | |

In Pirates of the Caribbean: Jack and Will use the tactic with a canoe for about five seconds in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, until it becomes a means of allowing them to breathe underwater instead. Jack also does this poorly in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, where he tries to sneak out of the bar and away from ex-Commodore Norrington by crouching behind a potted plant and walking Cossack-style along the floor. |

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: Like in Ocarina of Time, Deku Scrubs often disguise themselves under bushes or Deku Flowers. However, with the exception of the Mad Scrubs (who are still unambiguously evil), they're all friendly this time, and the Business Scrubs will do business with you without even attacking you beforehand (and some of them will even give you their Deku Flowers if you give them title deeds during a Chain of Deals). | |

Team Fortress 2 has an unofficial mod called Prop Hunt, where one entire team is disguised as props, frequently shrubbery, and hides from the other team among the scenery. Hilarity often ensues. The Gun Mettle update adds a taunt for the Spy which has him crawling around underneath a cardboard box... conveniently labelled with his team name in the appropriate colour. You'd be surprised how well it actually works. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "Feeling Pinkie Keen", Twilight briefly follows Pinkie around while hiding in a shrub. Subverted in that Pinkie knows Twilight is doing so but is pretending not to notice. Later happens in "Party of One" when Pinkie Pie attempts to combine this and a trench coat / Groucho glasses disguise, resulting in this abomination. Rainbow Dash's first reaction to seeing the thing is a thoroughly calm "Hi, Pinkie." |

Child of the Storm: in the sequel, Harry tries a number of methods of avoiding girls under mistletoe in the run-up to the Yule Ball, and eventually gets desperate enough to try this with a trunk, so he can hide in plain sight if needs be. Plus, no one's going to try and kiss a trunk. It actually works, more or less, until Trevor (Neville's toad) makes a bid for freedom... near a window... just as Harry turns around suddenly. | |

There are some ads for the Navy that appear to be a picture of a rainforest. Until you read the caption at the bottom listing the half-dozen men in the picture. There's another one that shows a dozen security camera captures from a desert, taken every few seconds, with bushes visible. The bushes disappear somewhere between caps 7 and 8. How Not To Be Seen, apparently. | |

Henry Stickmin Series: This is one of many ways Henry Stickmin can use to sneak past enemies, though more often than not it doesn't tend to work. One example in Fleeing the Complex for instance involves using a cardboard box this way (as well as doubling as a Shout-Out to Metal Gear). Unfortunately for him, it ends up working a bit too well since the guards instead use it to play poker... with him still inside. Cue fail. Another fail in the same game also has him try and sneak by some other guards while disguised as a snowman. Too bad it also doesn't work, albeit for a different reason... In one of the Completing the Mission scenes, Henry will try to get on a train while hiding in a bush. The guards joke on whether or not someone might be in it...and then set it on fire. |

In Kirby: Triple Deluxe, crouching while Kirby is using the Archer ability will have him conceal himself behind a randomly chosen cardboard cutout and he can crawl around while it's in place. It's usually something sensible, like a shrub, rock, or star block, but rarely, he'll bring out something more bizarre, like King Dedede or the HAL logo. Regardless of what's used, he's almost completely invincible as long as he remains still, though enemies will still actively target him. | |

Exploited by Arthur in Keys to the Kingdom: Lord Sunday when hiding from the titular trustee. It starts out as Tree Cover under a sorcerously crafted illusion of a shrub (granted, not a real one). When Arthur needs to move on, he considers dismissing the illusion; however, he then decides that walking plants probably aren't especially out of place in the Incomparable Gardens. On the other hand, he doesn't maintain the cover when he reaches an area where it would stick out like a sore thumb so that particular common consequence of the trope is avoided. Although the book doesn't actually explicitly mention that he dismisses the illusion at that point, it can be assumed that he does. | |
