Sleeping Dummy	comment	A character wants to sneak somewhere at night without being caught, so he or she stuffs the bed with rolled-up sheets or pillowcases or something to make it look as though he or she is still in bed, maybe with a fake papier-machÃ© head sticking out from the sheets and with some clothes on. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Bonus points if they use a tape recorder to add breathing/snoring. One of The Oldest Tricks in the Book. See also Bedsheet Ladder and Ninja Log. Sometimes, it is used to avoid being Slain in Their Sleep. Examples

Philip's mother suggested stuffing the bed, but Will explained that these days we do things electronically, and played a recording of snoring. Played straight, since Will does use sneakers, pillows and a bust of King Tut to stuff his bed. The snoring tape was just the icing on the cake.

Although she has the chance to snipe him from a distance, she chooses to try sneaking up on him and gets captured because the sleeping bag is a dummy.

In an odd form, he does this at work, but at the same time, he's normally asleep at work anyway. Also, the dummies are normally blatantly obvious (A mop with a painted bucket with a recorded message), yet seem to actually work. This latter characteristic was subverted in an episode when we see a perfect duplicate of Bart sitting still reading in class despite also being talking to Lisa in the hallway. "It's a shop class project. It's made of latex".

He obviously wants to leave to get there himself, but Della has programmed a security bot to make sure he stays put. One of his plans involves planting a sleeping dummy in his bed, seemingly getting out of the room and into a doorway, when in reality, the "Louie" the robot sees is another dummy on a remote-controlled vehicle. Unfortunately for Louie, the robot catches on faster than he expected and nonlethally zaps Louie back inside.

Discussed in The Man with the Golden Gun. When Mary Goodnight is hiding under the covers, James Bond tells Andrea Anders that he was using the Sleeping Dummy trick. The Living Daylights uses a standing dummy—Bond Girl Kara enters a phone booth, a streetcar passes by, and as it pulls away, so does a car. Only when the KGB operative following notices that she's been in the booth an awfully long time and gets confused and suspicious do we see what happened—Kara and Bond used the few seconds that the streetcar was blocking the booth from his view to drape her coat and a wig around her cello case and for her to quickly get into his car and duck down, thus allowing her to defect.

As it turns out, they actually stole three orangutans; the third suddenly breaks in through the ceiling and repeatedly slams Steve's face into the floor.

Later, they go back and see him sleeping there, but it's not him, it's this - he's the Body of the Week, and this was used to confuse the time of the murder. The twist is how the cushion got there - the murderer put some puffy jackets in a vacuum bag, vacuumed it flat, then, when they all went to check the first time, poked a hole in the bag through the blanket with a corkscrew, which wouldn't be odd for a restaurant employee to carry.

Sleeping Dummy / int_9ce851a3	comment	Malcolm in the Middle: one episode had Malcolm and Reese sneaking out to a party and using decoys in their bed to trick their parents: Reese used a balloon and Malcolm a stuffed monster mask. This ends up backfiring when Hal comes inside, feeling nostalgic since there is a possibility that he and Lois have a grave disease. As he goes to give "Reese" a kiss, the balloon bursts, causing him to start screaming, which in turn woke up Dewey (who shares the bed with Malcolm) and finds himself face-to-face with the monster mask. Cue more screaming.

Their commander makes it to the patient's room where he battles a loyal North Korean agent in a Gun Kata scene. With one bullet left he fires it into the heart of the patient lying on the hospital gurney, only to pull back the sheet and discover he's shot a corpse that's been left there as a decoy while Kim Jong Un has been taken to another room.

When Saul's messengers come, she tells them that he is sick. This doesn't deter Saul. He asks the messengers to bring David to his bed and all so he can kill him in it at which point the ruse is discovered.

When she goes to check on him, the dummy speaks to her, courtesy of a tape recording Peter made of himself responding to the comments he predicts Lois will make. The ruse works surprisingly well at first, but after a few exchanges, his "answers" no longer sync up, prompting Lois to pull back the bedsheet and reveal the dummy. Of course, at that moment Peter's stupidity ruins the charade anyway: "Lois, if you still haven't discovered I'm gone, please flip the tape over to side B." In another episode, Lois pulls the sheet off the bed thinking that it's Peter and finds that it's a pile of skulls. Apparently, Peter always does it when he's depressed.

Sleeping Dummy / int_f1ee340e	comment	Orkneyinga Saga: Magnus Erlendsson, later to become St. Magnus of Orkney, is an unwilling hostage of King Magnus of Norway. One night, when the king's ship lies off the Scottish coast, Magnus "prepared his bunk so that it looked as if someone were sleeping in it, then slipped overboard and swam ashore." By the time the Norwegians realize Magnus is not actually in his bunk, he has already a good head start.
