The Guards Must Be Crazy	comment	Being a guard for an Evil Overlord is a low-status, low-pay, high-risk job in an unsafe workplace, with very little long term job security (but they normally have a brilliant pension plan). So it's hardly surprising that most applicants aren't exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer, and could be fooled by tricks that wouldn't faze an average six-year old. Common issues are: Attacking heroes one at a time. Stopping them for the wrong reason. Dismissing odd sounds as nothing. Abandoning their post to investigate odd sounds, usually alone or if thereâ€™s a team of guards, spreading out just beyond sight of each other. Sounding the alarm at the crack of a twig, even if it's just a cat. Not raising an alarm or calling HQ upon seeing something suspicious, especially the corpse of another guard; instead, they try to find the perpetrator themselves. When searching for people, not looking in ridiculously obvious hiding places. Letting visitors give prisoners seemingly harmless gifts of food, such as a big cake. Granting a prisoner a Last Request. Letting someone give a prisoner one last kiss. Asking prisoners, "Any Last Words?" Assuming anyone in a guard outfit must be a guard, even if they don't recognize them note Although this may be justified for the New Meat, or in very large facilities. or the outfits are quite visibly a disguise. Not noticing that the other guards seem to be disappearing. Not confirming the authenticity of unexpected prisoner transfers, surprise inspections, new janitors or pizza deliveries. Assuming that the heroes would never attempt to sneak by Right Under Their Noses. Getting easily distracted, especially by prisoners getting it on. Never curious enough to eavesdrop on conversations between the prisoner and unscheduled higher-ups, especially when they say they want to be "alone with a prisoner", if you know what I mean. Leaving important keys dangling from an easily accessible chain. Walking very close to prisoners or cell gates. Examining allegedly sick prisoners whilst unarmed and alone, and with the cell door left open. Leaving prisoners locked in a room with a bed, bedsheets and an open window. Ignoring inanimate objects that could conceal an intruder and move around when they aren't looking. Blurting out passwords loudly as they enter gates. Falling asleep. Drinking on Duty. Ogling the centerfold in the latest issue of Hot Guard Babes instead of paying attention to what's going on around them. Carrying or storing weapons in a prison, in such a way that they are easily stolen by the escaping prisoners. Talking too freely with prisoners. Allowing the prisoner/captive to go to the bathroom or relieve themselves unguarded, especially when the bathroom contains possible alternate exits. Never learning that it's NOT a good idea to fight the hero/villain. Especially after they just left a mountain of their corpses in their wake. Not properly searching prisoners before throwing them into the cell. Especially, allowing them to keep their "harmless trinkets" with them in their cells. Confiscating the equipment of a prisoner, then leaving the equipment in an unsecured location where the prisoner can easily retrieve it during an escape attempt. Dropping their guard because no threat has been detected for a full two minutes. When a security camera stops working, ignoring it instead of sounding the alarm, or at the very least getting a maintenance team onto it ASAP with accompanying guards. Having alarms that can be switched off by cutting the power or the wire.note In real life, alarms have battery backup, fault-detection to detect when a wire has been cut (because wires popping loose is also a likely problem to occur), and even an alarm being shut off legitimately will alert the people monitoring it. This isn't rare, uncommon, expensive, or even new tech either; even the most mundane fire alarm system available comes equipped with this. Allowing the prisoner to taunt them into entering the cell to give them a sound beating, especially if they appear to still be shackled or tied. Having a very particular ratio of respect for authority and independence. Just enough of the former to be intimidated and release the hero when he claims higher-ups might get annoyed, but enough of the latter that they don't just pass the buck by checking with their supervisor. Forgetting to lock the door to the cell. A Sub-Trope of Artistic License â€“ Prison and an Acceptable Break from Reality, as competent guards would cause characters to end up stuck in prison forever so movie and TV plots wouldn't advance, and Stealth-Based Games would be unwinnable. The facility the guards are employed at may have Swiss-Cheese Security, in which case they never had a chance at keeping intruders out anyway, despite their best efforts. The trope name is a pun on the film The Gods Must Be Crazy. See also Conspicuously Selective Perception for the stealth game variant.

The Guards Must Be Crazy / int_10bc0a19	comment	Night Watch: Snouty, prison guard of the old Treacle Mine Road watch house at the time of the Glorious Revolution of the 25th of May. Vimes notes he's stupid enough to walk up to the bars of the cell, when he's on his own and has the keys on a belt, which means Vimes could easily lay him out and escape if he wanted. After a few seconds, Snouty actually steps into the cells, and Vimes' monologue notes if he did it with the other prisoner he's got, Snouty would be dead a few days early.

These same security guards all abandon their posts when the leading guard gets an anonymous call that there are free doughnuts in the break room, and no one thinks to check why suddenly all of the security cameras have been deactivated (aka stabbed through the screen). This allows the Turtles to get to and from Avengers Tower totally unseen.

The Player Characters are stuck in jail in which magic can't be used and the Non-Player Character is an alchemist so good that he can literally make invisibility powder out of thin air. When one of the players points out that being invisible will be useless if they can't get out, the alchemist's reply comes down to "Nah, the guards are going to panic when we all vanish, open the gates to let reinforcements in, and we'll take advantage of this to escape.". The plan actually works.

The Guards Must Be Crazy / int_21810fae	comment	RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse: An early fic has two guards actually invoking this when a panicked Trixie comes up to Canterlot Castle's front gate, demanding entrance, but not having any ID to prove she is who she says she is. The two guards know Trixie, but unfortunately they also hate Trixie, and state that if somepony like Trixie showed up, acting very un-Trixie like and demanding entrance, well, they'd have to be stupid to let her in, right? They're also not very concerned by Trixie's concern that their delaying might get her killed by BonBon, who is having a very stressful day. Then the angry naked human appears out of nowhere. Another story, set several years before, shows a young Shining Armor having a near-miss with this, when Princess Luna shows up to say her apprentice Trixie can go into the city without any guards. Shining and his captain notice Princess Luna slip up on the pronunciation of one word - it's Trixie in disguise as Luna. The Zaldian Secret Police are easily outwitted by Trixie and Lyra pretending to teleport away. Actually, Trixie's just turned invisible - the Zaldians despite being mind-bogglingly paranoid and arrogant don't think invisibility is real magic worth investing energy in countermeasures against. The fact they've been heavily infiltrated by Changelings muddies these waters, since the Changelings are trying to make the Secret Police look bad, so whether that's part of the plot or not is fuzzy.

Special note to Michael McDonald in the first one, who emits a drawn out Big "NO!" at the oncoming steamroller... that lasts for a good 15 seconds and he needs to inhale to continue screaming before getting run over. Crosses over with Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? on multiple occasions. In each case, Dr. Evil is about to leave the heroes in an easily escapable death trap, and rather than supervise their deaths himself, he relies on "one inept guard."

"Butcher" is the archetype of the trope.Why?If he makes it easier for Heroes to move about his lair, then they'll usually return the favor by letting him live, and escape to build another lair. Guards! Guards! opens with a dedication to those people "whose job it is, round about chapter three, to rush at the hero one at a time and be slaughtered." In Thud!, the text mentions how when Sergeant Colon is on guard duty, he "kept the cell keys in a tin box in the bottom drawer of his desk, a long way out of reach of any stick, hand, dog, cunningly thrown belt, or trained Klatchian monkey spider (making Fred Colon possibly unique in the annals of jail history)." Seemingly averted in The Last Continent, where the guards at Bugrup Prison are wise to every escape trope, but haven't worked out how Tinhead Ned (and later Rincewind) did escape (the jail door can be lifted off its hinges). Possibly because they reckon it makes a better ballad if the prisoner escapes and then gets killed in a last stand at the Post Office. In Pyramids, it's noted the guards of Djelyibabi are intentionally hired for being stupid and unimaginative, in case they start getting ideas, especially ones along the lines of "why aren't we in charge?" Night Watch: Snouty, prison guard of the old Treacle Mine Road watch house at the time of the Glorious Revolution of the 25th of May. Vimes notes he's stupid enough to walk up to the bars of the cell, when he's on his own and has the keys on a belt, which means Vimes could easily lay him out and escape if he wanted. After a few seconds, Snouty actually steps into the cells, and Vimes' monologue notes if he did it with the other prisoner he's got, Snouty would be dead a few days early.

The first one falls head and heels for the naked Space Girl and gets his Life Energy sucked for this, allowing her to escape from the autopsy room. The other three guards that are supposed to stop her Full-Frontal Assault on the research facility don't fare any better, with one of them trying to lure her with a half-eaten biscuit only to get zapped for his trouble and another one suffering a similar fate. The last, older guard is scared out of his wits and does nothing as the Space Girl calmly makes an exit.

Even if they did, they wouldn't have stood a chance against Lancelot's Unstoppable Rage. The guards were expecting guests for the wedding, but even still, calmly watching a screaming knight charging towards you over a field with a sword brandished makes you wonder... None of them make even a token effort to fight Lancelot while he massacres the wedding party, or even try to avoid him. Prior to this, the Swamp King has a very hard time trying to keep the two guards he'd assigned to his son from following him out of the room through a Sustained Misunderstanding. And even when they do finally get the picture, they smilingly watch on as the Prince writes out a letter, ties it to an arrow and hurriedly fires it out the window in order to summon help, because the king didn't specifically tell them to prevent him from doing that.

The Guards Must Be Crazy / int_5755b96a	comment	The Order of the Stick pulls this several times: In the prequel book On the Origin of PCs, Haley breaks in to a building to steal a large diamond. She accidentally wakes the guard up, but he buys her story that she is just a rather Freudian dream. Averted, then played straight in Elan's prison escape. His attempts at tricking the guards to let him out don't work. But after he gets Thog to smash their cells open, he tells the guards (while magically disguised as one) that the mess is due to "renovations" and that one of the prisoners (himself) died of "vaporizing flu," which supposedly disintegrated the body and is highly contagious to anyone who stands around asking questions. The guards immediately leave to avoid catching this transparently made-up disease, and Elan and Thog apparently just walk right out of the prison. Hilariously spoofed in the Empire of Blood arc. Haley and Elan attempt to bluff their way past guards working for a Genre Savvy villain. The plan they're trying is specifically listed in their training manual, since Tarquin knows the sort of people usually hired as guards in his Evil Empire. That's why he gave them detailed instructions. Followed by a Double Subversion when Haley returns to the same guards after having consumed a Potion of Glibness and proceeds to Bluff their pants off.

Towards the end of Octopussy, the Big Bad doesn't mind that his guards are Distracted by the Sexy because it gives him and The Dragon a chance to sneak away without being noticed. Unfortunately the dancing girls are part of Octopussy's Amazon Brigade, currently sneaking into his palace.

The Guards Must Be Crazy / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: 3rd Edition Most PC classes that would traditionally be used as guards don't have Spot, Listen or Sense Motive as class skills. This essentially makes them partially blind, hearing-impaired, and incredibly gullible. Exactly how this plays out depends on the DM. Most play the trope straight because guards tend not to be treated as more than minor enemies. Those skills are mainly intended to counteract Hide, Move Silently, and Bluff. In addition, those skills are not infallible unless the DM hands NPCs the Idiot Ball. For example, no matter what your Hide skill is, if you walk in front of a guard without some form of cover, he sees you, no matter what. Scouts used as guards can avert this trope. They possess Spot, Listen and Sense Motive as class skills. They get 8 base skill points per level. In addition, they have Hide and Move Silently as class skills, so they can stand guard without being readily visible. Their Skirmish feat also gives them a significant advantage in straight combat against most stealthy classes if there is some room to move around. Ironically, the NPC class of Warrior does have Spot and Listen on its skill list, making them potentially better guards than trained Fighters. Even Commoners have those as class skills. Module B9 Castle Caldwell and Beyond. The gnoll guarding the PC prisoners is not very bright and will fall for any reasonable trick, such as one of them pretending to be ill. However, if the first attempt fails it will be very alert thereafter. Speaking of early adventure modules, the above example is all the more unusual because the gnoll in question isn't already distracted from its duty by gambling with fellow guards. Betting on dice, brawls, and/or Beastly Bloodsports is ubiquitous among humanoids in old-school D&D modules; it's amazing any of them actually have any treasure left.

Whether it's letting the Joker substitute all their real guns for popguns, allowing him access to janitorial chemicals that let him mix together some Joker Venom, or constructing a hot air balloon that allows him to fly over the walls, the increasingly ridiculous, contrived and unbelievable ways that the Joker and the other Bat-villains escape from Arkham would be construed as painfully bad in any other franchise. For the Batman comics, on the other hand, it's par for the course. Fridge Brilliance kicks in when you realize that it's probably safer for the guards to not try and stop people like the Joker, Killer Croc, Two Face, and Poison Ivy. The guards survive longer if they stay out of the way of escaping inmates, and it's safer for the guards if Joker is on the streets instead of at their daily work place.

The Guards Must Be Crazy / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: In Star Trek VI, the Enterprise manages to fly deep into Klingon territory to rescue Kirk and McCoy despite a listening post picking them up and demanding to know their identity and destination. They manage to fool the completely incompetent guards despite having to resort to using an English-Klingon dictionary to look up their answers and making several grammatical errors during the conversation. Actually explained in the novelization, which states that the operators of the listening post assumed the Enterprise crew were just harmless smugglers, not a Federation cruiser, and so let them through (the Klingon officer's parting shot "Don't catch any bugs" is an old smuggler's in-joke). Star Trek VI also has what must be one of the most idiotic examples in the history of cinema. Kirk and McCoy are in an inescapable prison, but conspirators want them dead to be sure they're really out of the way. They have another prisoner tell Kirk and McCoy, "I can get outside the beaming shield, but I have nobody to beam me up when I get there. If you have a way to get off the surface, we can escape together." When Kirk verifies that they can beam up once outside the shield, the prisoner, with the help of the conspirators, leads them to a position outside the shield where the conspirators will shoot them with the excuse that they were trying to escape. The conspirators are then surprised to see Kirk and McCoy beam up right in front of their eyes, despite having gone out of their way to verify that they were prepared to do so.

The heroes (who consist of an amorphous blob, a fish-man, and a human/cockroach hybrid) adopt Paper Thin Disguises to bluff their way past an alien clone. He recognizes one of them as a clone that's "defective beyond repair"... and immediately orders the other two to dispose of him. And gives them a key card. And a gun.

Looming Shadow example; The guards in Mr.15's lair are smart enough to check for invisible people when they're looking for a mage, but they remain easy to fool because of that fact.

In one scene, Lucky is chained up in the dungeon, but the guard tosses the keys to his chains on the floor to taunt him, figuring he can't reach them (it takes a few tries, but he does), while Dusty is able to rescue Carmen because the guard in charge of watching her is asleep on duty.

Zombie Susan even lampshades how amazed she is that the guards were tricked by the Invisible Woman... turning invisible.

The Guards Must Be Crazy / int_a4a6b86a	comment	Code Geass: The Britannian guards frequently wait until Lelouch has geassed them before actually doing their job. Twice they have waited for Lelouch to give a long pretentious speech before he geassed them into killing themselves. Reaches its peak when Lelouch just walks up and waits more than a minute while the guards attack him with spears before geassing the entire room. Although he was still a Prince, and thus it's doubtful assault against royalty goes over great in Britannia. The Chinese Federation are even worse. While they do have guns, they just stare dumbfounded as Xingke fights them off with a sword since the only Chinese soldiers to fight are the ones with spears, and then they watch as Lelouch gives a speech before he finally has the sense to take his gun and hold Tianzi hostage with it. Granted, they were in the middle of a wedding chapel surrounded with VIPs from two superpowers, so it's possible that they may have simply wanted to avoid accidentally shooting someone else, but the guards outside have no excuse. In one episode, an unarmed Lelouch and Kallen find some Britannians on a remote island and effortlessly steal their ridiculously powerful prototype mech. The mech itself was unguarded, and the "guards" left the keys in the ignition. Kallen has to beat up a few guys, but they don't make use of their firepower advantage. Euphemia was fairly close, though, so it may have been to avoid regicide.

To the guards' defence, they were usually employed to hunt down rogue unarmed telepaths and their opponent was a professional extremely good at fighting and hiding his thoughts and equipped with a suit making him invisible... Later subverted: when the infiltrator penetrates EarthDome (the city near Geneva built specifically to house the Earth Alliance government), he successfully enters thanks to the codes he extracted from the deputy director, his invisible suit, and the fact he's believed to have drowned right after the scuffle with the telepaths, but fails to leave when a dog sniffs him, fails to see him, and attacks, wrecking his suit and causing half the guards to come to kill him (he's killed by the ones who found him about one minute before a hundred guards tracks him down). After that incident, guard dogs are dispatched to the entrance of all military bases, with one Dilgar with an identical suit failing to secretly follow one of his leaders to a diplomatic meeting specifically because of a guard dog alerting the guards.

They're decent enough at their jobs when they're in action, but it's the boring surveillance part of the day that always slips them up.

Later still, nobody is paying attention to the security cameras and are all partying in the background. Only Mirage notices the escapees that don't even bother to avoid the security cameras. Most notably, though, is later in the same scene where it gets absurd enough that Bob lampshades it. They enter a large room with no-one in it and he absently wonders, "Where are all the guards?"

The Guards Must Be Crazy / int_bd310eaa	comment	El Goonish Shive: Even by the ridiculously low standards of this page, Guineas FAIL. He doesn't like his boss and is not very motivated, though, to the point of constantly playing dumb to lower expectations and shirk the work. PTTAPUTASF guards have open windows — with lights on, various dangerous magic toys and things like a huge diamond lying in the open like in a museum, but without as much as a working alarm, and react only when a fight breaks in the storage. Might or might not have been mentally manipulated, though. It's later revealed that the entire purpose of the PTTAPUTASF is to attract the attention of people or beings who want to steal magical items, so they don't go looking for the real facility.

The Guards Must Be Crazy / int_c4282b71	comment	In the 12 chapter of the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fic Loved and Lost, one of the guards under King Jewelius is patrolling to make sure the Changelings are locked up in their cells. Queen Chrysalis tries to fool him by turning herself into Jewelius, and then into a crying filly. To make her stop, the irritated guard walks close to her cell, and Chrysalis seizes her chance to slam his head against the bars and steal the keys he's carrying as he falls unconscious. After his takeover, Jewelius murdered all the Royal Guards who were injured during the Changeling invasion yet remained loyal to the usurper princesses, filling the greatly decreased ranks with convicts he bribed to be loyal to himself. If this guard is one of those replacements, his carelessness would be explained by his lack of proper drilling in a guard's duties. In the tenth chapter, when Applejack and Rarity disguise themselves as maids while sneaking in the castle (with Cadance hiding in the housekeeping cart they're pushing), they nervously claim to the first guard who stops them that they're doing some late night cleaning. He eyes them suspiciously for a moment before letting them carry on.

The Guards Must Be Crazy / int_d010a732	comment	Night at the Museum: In both movies, it's more like "the museum administrators must be crazy." Larry's initiation involves being given a rule book, a uniform, a brief tour by his predecessor, and a small note of rather unusual instructions and then being left to his own devices, with no backup. If it weren't for the army of animate inanimate objects, he would have been completely helpless when the inevitable robbery occurs. His British counterpart in the second movie has it even worse. While she is quite competent, and did go entirely by the rule book, the closest thing she has to a weapon, is a hammer she brings from home while Larry at least has a night-stick, a flashlight, and pepper spray. Like Larry, she also has no backup, except a long, complicated phone number to call, and then only when she's absolutely certain things have escalated to a point that she can't possibly handle it by herself. As graphically shown, this puts her completely at the mercy of any determined or marginally competent group of thieves, criminals, or malcontents intending to do her or the museum harm. She lampshades that she's starved for conversation because she doesn't have co-workers at the job. In Battle of the Smithsonian, Larry's escapades in the various branches of the Smithsonian along the National Mall go completely unnoticed, as if the entire area is devoid of any human presence save Larry himself. Ironically, Larry is a guard. Would YOU stick around once the dinosaur skeletons and such started moving?

The Guards Must Be Crazy / int_e3349241	comment	Diabolik: In the very first story, it's mentioned that Diabolik had broken out of the supposedly unescapable prison of Asen. More recently a flasback shows how he did it: he killed two guards who gave him a small opening, stole the uniform of one of them and ruined his face to slow identification, then took off his perfect mask and walked out dressed as a guard. Granted, that was before the police knew of his masks or his true face, but the guards still failed to notice a man in uniform who was not one of them... The second time Diabolik was arrested. They caught him with his true face and by now knew his masks, so they managed to keep him in jail long enough to sentence him to death, but Eva Kant, at the time not a wanted criminal yet, broke him out the very day before the execution. How? Easy: she bribed two guards to bring him to her so she could give him a proper goodbye (she had also confessed being in love with him), and when they brought him to her she brought him in a shack where the two drugged Eva's Stalker with a Crush AKA George Caron, secretary of the Minister of Justice, put on him a mask with Diabolik's face, and when the guards told them it was time to bring Diabolik back him gave them Caron. The guards, not suspecting anything in spite of the masks being now known to the public, brought Caron back in the death row, and then, at the appointed time, on the guillotine, where he was executed, and had Ginko not noticed 'Diabolik' was moving like he was drugged nobody would have ever realized what had happened. Averted in the rest of the series: knowing who they're dealing with, whenever Diabolik or Eva are arrested the guards keep them under heavy guard, ready to shoot to kill on sight and adopting such things as putting them in a jail surrounded by swamps (Eva's first arrest). Sure, Diabolik and Eva always break out in the end, but that's because they're just that good, and have to resort to increasingly complex plans. One example is how Diabolik broke Eva out of that jail in the swamps: first he got seen kidnapping a top model to convince the world he had dumped Eva to get them to lower their guard or at least get enough pity for her so she wouldn't be executed, then, when Ginko kept the surveillance tigh to be safe and Eva was sentenced to jail time, he caused a typhoid fever outbreak in the jail (Eva was vaccinated, so she wasn't in danger) to get it evacuated, caused a distraction so Ginko wouldn't be around, and then derailed the train that was the only way in or out, and even this was was a close thing (Ginko realized what was happening and went to the phone to warn the jail mere moments before the train got derailed). Following breakouts need different formulas because the guards are prepared to foil previously used methods and whatever they can think of (and it's a lot of things) and do their best to keep the prisoner isolated until Diabolik is executed.

They cannot find an old lady who has kidnapped the baby princess for almost two decades, when she happened to be in a tower within riding distance. Then said princess's crown gets stolen right under their noses. Then one of the thieves comes back to Corona later with a girl with 70 feet long of hair and they don't notice it, even though he is dancing around. The only competent member is Maximus, and he's the only one to make crime virtually disappear. The same thief was able to walk up to the palace and meet the King and Queen face-to-face. Their incompetence is proven even more later on when a 14-year old kid is able to distract all the guards around Corona by putting up a smoke-screen and knocking them out with a giant monster while the kid himself somehow managed to infiltrate all the way to the castle and kidnap the Queen without any resistance whatsoever, demonstrating that the guards didn't even try to guard parts of the castle nor do they even bother to bodyguard a very important figure in the country.

For example, in Shadow on the Sand, two Vassagonian gaolers believe their prisoner has escaped when they can't see him through the peephole, just because Lone Wolf is sitting against the door. And he isn't even doing it on purpose, but still gets the opportunity to ambush them when they open the cell. In Dawn of the Dragons, the Eldenorian guards capturing Lone Wolf and bringing him before Prince Lutha take his gold, backpack, and weapons... but not the weapon-like special items. Including the Sommerswerd!note This one was so glaring that the French version actually changed the scene by adding an Eldenorian traitor who brings Lone Wolf's special items back to him. The collector re-edition explains this by having the soldiers being quite superstitious of touching magical artifacts or weapons.

The Guards Must Be Crazy / int_ef7b3325	comment	Fantastic Four: An old story saw the government imprisoning them in specially designed cells. Reed Richards and Johnny managed to find tiny flaws in the prison design. The Thing found that the door was strong enough to take one punch from him, but not multiple blows, which makes the prison designer crazy. Sue Storm turned herself invisible. And yes, guards set to guard The Invisible Woman opened the door because they couldn't see her. A not-so-old issue of Ultimate Fantastic Four uses the same idea, only it was evil zombie versions of the entire team in one cell together, and the Reed Richards counterparts prepared the trick by claiming he had built a teleporter from a ballpoint pen and a string of hair. Zombie Susan even lampshades how amazed she is that the guards were tricked by the Invisible Woman... turning invisible. This one is especially pathetic, given that even if the teleporter claim had been true, there would still have been no earthly reason to open the doors. A case of "The Security Designers Must Be Crazy" happened after Reed and Doom were apparently killed. The rest of the team and Llyja was captured by the Skulls who thought they had designed a cell and shackles that could nullify their powers. Well, the stuff worked... For about an hour. After that, escaping was pretty easy. (Not to mention that the four of them were very angry at the Skrulls for humiliating them with their version of a "perp walk" beforehand, so to speak.)

The Guards Must Be Crazy / int_f50072b	comment	The Pieces Lie Where They Fell: In the sequel Picking Up the Pieces, the new security guard at Night's gym is ostensibly there to keep further pranksters out after somepony dumped purple dye in their swimming pool, but he's too busy reading his newspaper to look up at any visitors, like Night, when he says the poolâ€™s closed and explains why itâ€™s closed.

The Guards Must Be Crazy / int_f651fac4	comment	A truly memorable subversion in Titan A.E.: Preed, Stith, and Korso are trying to free Akima from a slave prison. They see a large, brutish guard around a corner, and Stith offers to take him out. Preed refuses, saying, "This requires cunning and deception." They then walk up to the guard, and Preed spins a tale that he and Stith are traders, and that Korso is the slave they're looking to sell. After delivering his story, we have this exchange.

The Guards Must Be Crazy / int_f8df4747	comment	After leaving the lost light in The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye, Drift strikes out on his own in his own series, Drift: Empire of Stone. He, Ratchet and a Decepticon named Grit all end up prisoners of Gigatron. When a guard, Knockout, passes by, Ratchet orders Drift to play dead and begins struggling with Grit, claiming the Con's a murderer. Knockout just looks confused at the whole ordeal. He lets them out anyway, being friends with Grit, and gives them back their weapons.

The Guards Must Be Crazy / int_fd0b756	comment	In The Hobbit, the Mirkwood elves demonstrate the Drinking on Duty variation of this, allowing the dwarves to escape. Speaking of The Lord of the Rings, averted by HÃ¡ma, doorward of Meduseld in Edoras. He's smart enough to know that "the staff of a wizard may be more than a prop for age", but lets Gandalf through with said staff because he deems he's a friend here to help (a judgment that is soon vindicated). It's a bit more vague in the movie, but it's certainly a plausible interpretation of his actions there.

The Guards Must Be Crazy / int_fe94578f	comment	Subverted by the Alex Rider book Scorpia Rising: When Jack is escaping from her cell (by means of a convenient loose bar in the window), she marvels at how none of the guards overhear the huge amount of noise she makes, there's only one guard left watching the cars, and they've left the keys in the ignition. She even wonders if this might not all be too good to be true... and she's right, as her entire "escape" has been stage-managed in order to lead her into a deathtrap.
