* InformedAbility: "Competent Robbers" just do a lot of stupid actions, which would get them caught very quickly in real life. (In addition to receiving a much worse sentence, for killing a child)


Added DiffLines:

* StupidEvil: Even though Robbers are supposed to be "competents", they do things like not cover their faces, don't wear gloves, and kill a child in cold blood (Which is considered much worse than robbery) with an unsilenced weapon.

* DeconstructiveParody: see HomeAloneAntics.

to:

* DeconstructiveParody: see HomeAloneAntics.The cutaway to "Film/HomeAlone with intelligent robbers" is one to HomeAloneAntics - the criminals aren’t bumbling oafs, so Kevin’s traps are either ineffective or outright avoided. Furthermore, the 7 year old protagonist is swiftly dealt with (See WouldHurtAChild below) by the professional criminals the moment he reveals himself.



* TheGrinch: Carter doesn't likes Christmas.

to:

* GreedyJew: Invoked by Peter to resolve the Carter plotline - simply suggesting to Carter that his cancellation of the mall’s Christmas Carnival is making people think he’s Jewish is enough to get him to do a 180 on the matter.
* TheGrinch: Carter doesn't likes like Christmas.



* HumiliationConga[=/=]LaserGuidedKarma: Carter suffers this.



* ShoutOut: ''Film/HomeAlone'': What if it had intelligent criminals who are wise to any possible deterrents?

Deconstruction. Also, Deleted per thread.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: See HomeAloneAntics. Instead of being bumbling StupidCrooks, the thieves are a NoNonsenseNemesis, doubly so for the one that puts a bullet in the Kevin CaptainErsatz the moment he gets a clear shot at him.
