History Main / JailedOneAfterAnother

* In ''Ocean's Twelve'', the sequel to ''Film/OceansEleven'', the main characters are gradually arrested and thrown into the same cell as the heist goes more and more wrong.

* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': Happens in "Bobbsey Twins In Stir". Mrs. Davis is tricked into selling counterfeit tickets to the Policeman's Ball and jailed overnight. When released she goes to stay with her sister Angela, too embarrassed to tell how she had been tricked. Mrs. Davis really should have said something; Miss Brooks decides to sell the tickets to help the charity drive. Miss Brooks, Mr. Boynton, Mr. Conklin and Mr. Stone end up jailed in quick succession.

** ''Series/HenryDanger'': The ChristmasEpisode, of all places, has this for a plot. First, Captain Man is arrested for not wearing a hairnet at a soup kitchen. Jasper goes to protest Captain Man's arrest by breaking more of Swellview's LoonyLaws, getting sentenced to the same cell as Captain Man as a result. Feeling bad for Captain Man having to share a cell with Jasper, Henry repeats Jaspers offenses so Captain Man won't have to be alone with Jasper, while [[GuiltByAssociation Charlotte gets arrested for watching]]. Henry's parents are notified by a police officer about his arrest, so upon Piper's suggestion, Kris and Jake retaliate by throwing the officers walkie talkie in the fireplace and pantsing him respectively. Kris is sent in the same cell as everyone else, while Jake is sent to a cell full of the tougher convicts. The episode ends with all of them stuck in prison for Christmas, [[BittersweetEnding but they all manage to put a positive spin on things by realizing that they're mostly all together and singing a Christmas song]].
** ''Series/KenanAndKel'': The series AprilFoolsPlot has Kenan getting prank happy, only to find himself confronted by a police officer who gives him a ticket for his bike being chained to a fire hydrant, which Kel did to prank Kenan back. Kenan thinks the police officer is in on the act and starts [[BullyingADragon taunting and humiliating him]], trying to prank him too. Unfortunately, it's the real deal, and Kenan gets put in jail. Kel also gets locked up by trying to break Kenan out without being discrete about it at all, while the rest of the cast get put in with the two because of Kenan's pranks.
** ''Series/{{Victorious}}'': The hour-long episode "Locked-Up" has Tori getting, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin well...guess]], after accidentally flinging her heel at the chancellor in his last good eye. The rest of the cast try to convince the chancellor to forgive her and let her out and almost succeed in doing so, when Robbie fumbles with a lamp and [[NiceJobBreakingItHero knocks it into the chancellor's pet octopus's aquarium, electrocuting it]]. As a result of that, not only is Tori still stuck in prison, but the rest of the cast joins her (except Sikowitz, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere who sneaked out over the chancellor's mourning]]).

* ''Radio/TheGoonShow'': Over the course of "The Spanish Suitcase", all the characters end up together in the same jail cell.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' has "Who Framed Jimmy Neutron" where Jimmy is [[ClearMyName wrongly accused of committing a bank robbery]] and sent to jail. Carl and Sheen attempt to break him out but, like the ''Kenan and Kel'' example above, don't do a good job at it and join Jimmy as convicts. The trio escape to Cindy's room to figure out who the real culprit is, but the Warden catches up with them and places the three and Cindy under arrest. Fortunately, Jimmy was able to figure out the identity of real criminal by this point, [[spoiler:the Warden himself]], which frees himself and his friends.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' episode "Duck!", this happens to Grim, Irwin, and many others when a ghostly duck (whom only its chosen victims can see) gets them in trouble by blowing raspberries and making it look like they're farting at the worst possible moment.

* The ''Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'' video "Mario Preschool" has the channel become child friendly [[RealLifeWritesThePlot due to]] [[ScrewedByTheNetwork strict YouTube guidelines]]. The main characters each host a segment of the video where they act as teachers to a group of toddlers, only for something to happen that gets each of them arrested. The very end of the episode has them all in the same cell, swearing to go back to crude humor and immature jokes since doing otherwise clearly didn't work out for them.

* ''Series/TheAndyGriffithShow'': An offscreen occurrence happens in "Andy Saves Barney's Morale". Andy has to leave Mayberry to testify in a court case, so he leaves Barney in charge of keeping the town peaceful and quiet. Upon getting back, he realizes Barney has followed through with his task by ''[[UpToEleven arresting the entire population of Mayberry]]''. Andy releases them all and discharges them after reviewing their "offenses".

* ''ComicStrip/PearlsBeforeSwine'': One arc sees most of the characters except Goat being arrested for various reasons. Luckily, before he could ruin the strip with his [[TheBore lack of humor]], the rest of the cast end up getting bailed out by [[ComicStrip/BloomCounty Steve Dallas]].

** ''Series/KenanAndKel'': The series AprilFoolsPlot has Kenan getting prank happy, only to find himself confronted by a police officer who gives him a ticket for his bike being chained to a fire hydrant, which Kel did to prank Kenan back. Kenan thinks the police officer is in on the act and starts [[BullyingADragon taunting and humiliating him]], trying to prank him too. Unfortunately, it's the real deal, and Kenan gets put in jail. Kel also gets locked up by trying to break Kenan out [[TooDumbToLive without being discrete about it at all]], while the rest of the cast get put in with the two because of Kenan's pranks.
