Tom Sawyer Plan

A needlessly complicated plan to accomplish a simple task.

Creating an elaborate scheme involving things like lasers, explosions, rope ladders, poisoning and painstakingly crafted lies to make things more cool, interesting and exciting when all could be solved simply by telling the truth, getting the key or using the back exit, etc.

Cool for the sake of cool in effect (often used in movie plot explanations or sitcom plots).

The name Tom Sawyer Plan comes from Huckleberry Finn where Tom makes an elaborate scheme to free Jim from the plantation when they could have just gotten he key the whole time.

Sheldon Cooper on the Big Bang Theory's web of lies to avoid seeing Penny in RENT, which build on each other until he has to go on a weekend trip, hire an actor and keep up an elaborate fake back story to get out of seeing one play.

Tom Sawyer Raft Ride

The act of taking a dump on a hard surface, like a table or counter, and having your partner lay down on it with their back, causing it to spread between their back and the surface. After the dump is spread, you then stand above them and piss all over their face.

The Tom Sawyer Raft Ride is a lot more refreshing than it sounds...
