History Main / JailBake

* Played with on an episode of [[Squidbillies]] where Rusty tries to break his grandpa out of prison with cake shaped like a hacksaw that reads "Prison is tough, hope you can hack it", turns out there's a gun baked into it. Turns out, the gun isn't used and instead the cake is stuffed in Sheriff's face and causes and allergic reaction in Sheriff because he's allergic to gluten.

* ConversationalTroping (or Postcard Troping) by Nanny Ogg in ''Discworld/WitchesAbroad'':

* Spoofed in a {{Scrooge McDuck}} story by KenoDonRosa. TheBeagleBoys visit their grandfather in prison, to celebrate the birthday of their gang. They bring a huge elaborate cake, of which not much was left after the security removed all sort of tools hidden inside. Including a flamethrower.

* From the song "We Made You":

* In ''[[KenanandKel Kenan and Kel]]'', Kel tries to get Kenan out of prison with a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbYINqlyaCE VERY obvious saw in a cake.]]

[[caption-width:241:The not so subtle approach]]

* Subverted in ''JackieChanAdventures''. When Valmont and some of his henchmen intentionally get themselves locked up to get access to the inside of a prison to unlock a hidden demon gate, Valmont tore apart at a cake delivered to the prison hoping for some means of escape, only to get apprehended by guards for his behavior. But another package discreetly opened by his henchmen contained the Pan Ku Box used to open the demon gate.

* In [[KenanandKel Kenan and Kel,]] Kel tries to get Kenan out of prison with a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbYINqlyaCE VERY obvious saw in a cake.]]
* ''The Commish'': Tony (the eponymous Commish) has been jailed for Contempt of Court by a judge he suspects is on the take. He moves his office down to the cells and conducts business as usual. His wife comes by to check up on him and gives him a cake. She baked a file into it as a joke.

* ''[=~Steamboat Bill, Jr.~=]''

* A ''KidsInTheHall'' skit made use of this trope, and adds dramatic tension with the guard asking if he can have a piece, while the prisoner sweats, hoping the guard's knife doesn't touch the file. Of course the tension is then [[OverlyLongGag taken to ridiculous heights]] with the guard eating most of the cake without finding the file, leaving an obvious file-shaped piece of the middle of the cake. The guard looks full and is about to give the cake to the prisoner, but then he decides to have one more piece... * clink*

* In the Polish comic "The Adventures of Ionek, Ionka and Blot", Blot is accused of this when he enters a prison disguised as an old lady. Subverted as the prisoner he was supposed to be visiting is just an excuse to get in.

* In the 2005 remake of ''The Longest Yard'', Caretaker receives Megget's spikes (and implicitly all of the other items he procures for other inmates) in this manner.

* The earpiece smuggled into prison was also used in TheLoneGunmen, but Yves smuggled Jimmy the earpiece in a bag of Cheetoes.

* This trope is subverted in the {{Hanna-Barbera}} cartoon "The Good, the Bad and Huckleberry Hound", when one of the Dalton Brothers (Stinky, I think) is in jail and Huck eats a cake Stinky received from one of the other Daltons in disguise. This was so Huck could check for a file, and there wasn't one. The reason it's a subversion is that it's obviously one of the other Daltons and you'd expect the cake to have a file, but then it doesn't (so far as I remember).

* In the GalaxyRangers episode "Changeling," Shane has to infiltrate a prison. Zach jokes that if he isn't out in the allotted time-frame, the rest of the team will send a hacksaw inside a cake.

* A ''HouseOfMouse'' cartoon has Mickey ask Goofy to do this after Mickey is locked in jail. I seem to remember Goofy ended up knocking the guards out one by one whilst Mickey sneaked off to find evidence that he'd been framed by Mortimer (which is how he got nicked in the first place).

* In BusterKeaton's ''SteamboatBillJr." the title character attempts to smuggle tools to his jailed father in a loaf of bread.
