# StupidityIsTheOnlyOption: * In the Distant Village area of ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'', everywhere seems to webbed up by spiders. There are piles of corpses webbed up with spiders, and the Dream Nail reveals their last thoughts were of a surprise betrayal. Then you come upon a [[SavePoint bench]], surrounded by very odd-looking characters just keep repeating the same few words, telling you they're your friends and urging you to rest. Falling for the SchmuckBait is the only way to get to a monster's lair. '''Linked in another example. It's a trap you have to fall for, but an obvious one nonetheless.'''

Ponyland responded by abandoning most of the offending states (except for important infrastructure and strategic locations), quarantine the region behind fences, barbwires, minefields and bunker, and simply let them descend into barbarism, anarchy and savagery within the 'Deep South Exclusion Zone' -- give or take a few aerial carpet bombings, special forces raids and forced population deportations whenever vindictive insurgents from that place cause trouble -- and using the Exclusion Zone as a [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill massive kill-zone for indiscriminate use]] of [[WeaponOfMassDestruction WMDs ordinances]] whenever [[AlienInvasion alien invaders]] or [[InvadedStatesOfAmerica foreign powers arrived]] and land in the [[SchmuckBait suspiciously-convenient undefended area]] to establish a bridgehead.

'''Not immediately obvious it's fake, and you won't make the mistake if you know better.'''

** Asking too many personal questions after investigating items in Robin's room such as her teddy bear, jewelry, wine bottle, and medication on her nightstand is liable to set her off and cause her to kick you out. '''Some possible warning, but not entirely clear from context.'''
** Trying to sneak out of the house turns into a LuckBasedMission to unlock the door. This can lead to Robin catching you in the act, leading to a really awkward conversation. '''No indication that it's going to go wrong beforehand.'''

# Characters.Dota2UniversalAToM: ** Using ''Relocate'' to its fullest potential is also very difficult, as you'll always need to keep an eye out for potential ganks, ''Tether'' someone and teleport near or onto where you want to gank after a channeling time. However you also have to be wary if other enemies are missing, as they could be [[SchmuckBait baiting you out]]. However, it is one of the only two skills in the game which can give global presence to any ally (the other being Underlord's ''Fiend's Gate'', whose cooldown is significantly longer). Using ''Relocate'' to bring you and your lane partner behind unsuspecting enemies in either your own or another lane globally is a huge deal. This can be used to get your carry fed very quickly if your team is competent and you communicate your intentions. In addition to this, ''Relocate'' can be used in a big fight to bring someone to the fight who didn't get there in time, pull someone out who's about to die, or take someone back to heal quickly during the fight. ''Relocate'' requires you to be very cognisant of how your team is doing in a fight and what's needed most. '''Potholed into another example. Seems more like a regular trick.'''

** George Boleyn stands trial, accused of treason and incest with Anne. Cromwell hands him a bit of paper and says ''[[ReversePsychology not]]'' to read it aloud, only to answer if he recognizes the words on it.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Being on trial for his life, for him to read what the words are and answer no.\\
'''Instead:''' He reads it [[SchmuckBait and then speaks the words out loud]]: insults against Henry's manhood. Then he realizes the court is not laughing ''with'' him and hastily says that they aren't his words and he doesn't own them. Cromwell's reply? "You do now."[[note]]As with Mark, this would not have actually helped--Cromwell had more up his sleeve. But George certainly made it easy for him. [[/note]]

# StartOfDarkness.VideoGames: * This occurs in the backstory of ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' for [[MadScientist the Institute]]. Having sequestered themselves far below the [[DeathWorld Commonwealth]] for roughly a century while working on creating RidiculouslyHumanRobots to help rebuild civilization with, they were already pretty distrusted and regarded with suspicion by the residents of the Wasteland above, many of whom saw their offers of WeCanRuleTogether as SchmuckBait. Eventually, the Institute decided to help the Commonwealth [[PetTheDog as a gesture of good will]] by [[TheManBehindTheMan secretly organizing]] the [[TheAlliance Commonwealth Provisional Government]], [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything an alliance of like-minded representatives of various settlements from across the Commonwealth]] [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanRevolution that would come together and help organize the beginnings of a new society]] ([[CallBack similar to the creation]] of the [[TheFederation New California Republic]] in ''VideoGame/Fallout2''). Unfortunately, unlike the historical Constitutional Congress they were based on, the members of the CPG were never able to come to a consensus and killed each other - leaving only the Institute's representative the SoleSurvivor of the shootout. The Institute was then promptly blamed by the rest of the Commonwealth for their [[HopeSpot chance at a new society getting smashed to pieces]]. This set the Institute [[CynicismCatalyst on their dark path to villainy]], with them now regarding the Commonwealth [[FantasticRacism as a lost cause full of unkempt savages]] only worthy of being used as tools [[VisionaryVillain in their quest]] to [[WellIntentionedExtremist create a world that won't fall victim]] to AtomicHate. At least, this is the version of the story [[UnreliableNarrator that the Institute tells]]. '''Linked in another example. Describes in-universe perceptions.'''

** * CookedToDeath: The first room, made to appear like a waiting room, is in fact an oven-like death trap. If the players turn a temperature dial on the door to 451 ([[SchmuckBait which isn't even necessary to beat the room]]), giant fans start blowing hot air and the ceiling and walls will slowly turn into massive oven coils and the chandelier into a top-down gas stove.

** * SchmuckBait: [[spoiler: In a room containing magazines all portraying deadly fires and books about burning, the players are subtly invited to turn the oven dial beneath the broken door handle to turn the room into a literal oven. Careful examination shows that it's entirely possible to make it through the room without ever activating the trap. Similarly, the water fountain that players would naturally be tempted to drink from to deal with the heat has an exact water level needed to escape the room alive (unless you snuck in a hip flask).]] '''The oven dial is obviously a trap.

# Series.SupermarketSweep: * SchmuckBait: The pound-of-coffee/dollar's-worth-of-candy bonuses, originally worth $100 each, were definitely worth stopping for until rising grocery prices reduced them into this trope. Somewhat remedied for the last two seasons (2001-03), where they each doubled to $200, albeit with only one of the two available in each sweep.\\
** Exaggerated in the 2020 revival, in which the equivalent bonus areas (thus far, a flower stand and a coffee counter) are manned by "employees" who dawdle and waste the contestants' time. Fortunately, there is a variant of the coffee bonus where the contestants control their own destiny by looking for a coffee cup with their name on it. '''Seems less like an obvious trap and more just a bonus that's not worth it.'''

Added DiffLines:
Though SchmuckBait is defined as a blatantly-obvious trap, I've seen a fair bit of misuse for ordinary tricks and traps that most people wouldn't see coming. This wick check is to determine the extent of this misuse and if it's bad enough to merit further action.
80 out of 6444 wicks will be checked, counting its two redirects ShmuckBait and ObviousTrap.
