History SchmuckBait / WebOriginal

* Directly invoked in one of Aquarius199's Doom WAD reviews. A particularly bad WAD had a wall texture right next to a visible teleport pad that read "Terry Trap" (a type of troll tactic used by WAD creators to trap the player in and throw them around an inescapable room while freezing their controls, playing loud, obnoxious sounds, and showing offensive text and images). Sure enough, when Aquarius stepped on the teleporter, he was sent to such a trap, with a line of text giving the web address for the main page of this trope on this wiki.
* [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-001-j This SCP entry]], a BigRedButton that if pressed will destroy reality. Hilariously justified in that the button is semi-sentient and sends out a mild psychic signal, compelling people to press it.

** Gord loves these. He found a GameShark that actually damaged N64 systems(which is [[TonkaTough easier said than done]]). Then he left it out for someone to steal. He then made lots of money repairing said systems.

* Googling "RightXD" and hitting I'm feeling lucky [[TooDumbToLive is a good idea]] [[PennyArcade and you should do it immediately]].

* ''ASDFMovie'' gives us the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Pointless Button]]. It does absolutely nothing when pressed.

** Subverted in [[http://www.actsofgord.com/Wrath/chapter02.php this story]], where The Gord makes a 100% non-functional and incomplete Sony PlayStation and builds a shrine to it with a sign reading "Please don't steal me. You are being watched. -- Management." In the two hour experiment, while a lot of people stopped to look at the shrine to see if it was real or not, the closest anyone came to actually stealing it was checking that no-one was looking, as the store lights were out, picking it up, and then putting it back.

* In the ''{{Zero Punctuation}}'' review for [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/6276-DayZ DayZ]], Yahtzee mentions that on one of his 38 attempts (by the end of the video, anyway), he finds a pistol, rifle, and a ton of spare ammo at the top of a stairwell in an abandoned building. While questioning where the guns came from, as well as questioning the broken window and adjacent dead player (portrayed as a corpse with a bullet wound in their forehead) he is [[EpicFail shot dead by a sniper]] ([[BoomHeadshot in the same spot as the aforementioned corpse]]).

* [[http://icanhascheezburger.com/2009/02/01/funny-pictures-licks-me-i-dare-ya/ This]] {{Lolcats}} page. That's one ice cream cone you would not want to lick.

* ''{{Gearworld}}'', a Livejournal blog of a fictional travelogue, contains two instances of Schmuck Bait. Each instance had been discovered by a previous group of exploring monks, and they had left carved plaques behind to commemorate and warn about the experience.

* ''Website/CollegeHumor'' has a video called the "Retard Test". The patient is given this riddle: the red man lives in the red house, the orange man lives in the orange house, and the blue man lives in the blue house. So who lives in the white house? The answer: The President, but the patient gives "the white man" because of the way the riddle has been phrased.

-->'''Yahtzee:''' Okay, lesson learned. Never gorp at your inventory screen while standing fully upright next to a window.

:: Unusually, in each case Eland carefully reads the warning and wisely leaves it as is.
