History Main / DeliveryGuyInfiltration

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', the prank delivery that gets Fry frozen was planned out by [[spoiler: Nibbler]].

* A cutaway gag on ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' which lampsahded several heist movie tropes featured a "super gymnastic Asian Peter" being delivered to a house.

* In the two-part ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' short "Mickey Foils the Phantom Blot", Donald and Goofy disguise themselves as delivery men ([[PaperThinDisguise wearing only fake mustaches]]) to distract the Phantom Blot by having him his name on clipboards, while Mickey (who was hiding in their cardboard box) sneaks past him to obtain Professor Von Drake's unlimited credit card, which the Blot stole.

** In an earlier episode, Michael points out that a common way for spies to break into a place is as a delivery man. As a result, most real spies know to be suspicious of delivery people. Cue the bad guys grabbing the completely innocent delivery man Michael sent.

* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'': Used in several episodes. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in the episode "Identity Crisis," when Tony comments on how he once saw a kid in a liquor store T-shirt and carrying a brown paper bag walk right into a high-security building.

* ''Film/TheKiller2023''. The title character combines this with JanitorImpersonationInfiltration. He disguises himself as a recycled waste collector, waits till a genuine [=FedEx=] courier is buzzed through the door, then does the "hold the door open for me" trick as he races up to the door while dragging a garbage bin.

* A variation in ''Film/{{Accident}}''. A hitman orders takeout sent to the door of his target's apartment. After the deliveryman knocks on the door, gets no answer and leaves, the hitman knows he's free to break in and plant bugs.

The first year he posed as an ice delivery person. The second year he used a ClipboardOfAuthority. No word on what he's going to try in 2016.

* In ''Film/TheProfessional'', prototagonist Mathilda, bent on revenge, walks into DEA headquarters as a 12-year-old food delivery person with a bag of guns. She gets past security, at least.

Learning from the building super that they eat pizza all the time, they send an agent ahead of the SWAT team disguised as a pizza deliveryman to drop off a box, which the terrorists take inside. It actually contains a flashbang grenade meant to disorient them when the SWAT team kicks down the door moments later.

* In Lawrence Block's ''The Burglar Who Painted Like Mondrian'' Bernie pretends to deliver flowers to a resident of the Charlemagne in order to get past security. He ends up doing it ''again'' when he can't come up with a good enough excuse to stay until the elevator operator's gone during his first attempt.

%%* In an episode of ''Series/TheThinBlueLine'', to get into a bank robbery that has turned into a hostage situation.
