It’s A Trap!” is a phrase that has been used infrequently in humor as a
warning of incoming danger.
It's a Trap is also a popular catchphrase that is often used as a reaction to photos
of transsexuals and cross-dressers (often referred to as “traps”),
or people who appear sexually ambiguous.
It usually means that the person in
question has male reproductive organs, regardless of their disguised appearance.
Admiral Ackbar: “Take evasive action. Green Group, stay close to holding sector MD-7.”
Crewman: “Admiral, we have enemy ships in sector 47!”
Ackbar: “It’s a trap!”
The phrase comes from a quote in the film Return of the Jedi said by the Mon Calamari
rebel leader, Admiral Ackbar. When the Alliance forces attempt to blow up the DeathStar,
they are met with an ambush that leads the Admiral to exclaim, “It’s a trap!”.
It's a Trap!" was also a double-episode season finale of the ninth season
of the animated series Family Guy and the final part of the series' trilogy Laugh
It Up, Fuzzball. The episode first aired on Fox in the United States on May 22, 2011.
The episode was written by Cherry Chevapravatdumrong and David A. Goodman and directed by
Peter Shin. It retells the story of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi as "Blue Harvest"
did with Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side" did
with Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back by recasting characters from Family Guy
into roles from the film.
