Caper has several meanings.
Think about it. Substitute "prank" for caper.

I was following up with a definite meaning of caper.
The prankster will have the caper backfire in him.
Pardon the expression, But he may get to have his caper, and eat it too.

I guess it wasn't a very lame joke ( or maybe too lame ) as it didn't even get a single like.

My wife decided we're going to have macaroni and cheese for dinner tonight, so she put a box out on the kitchen counter, the usual tall skinny box containing uncooked macaroni and a packet of cheese sauce mix.

It has a little quiz on the back, in which you match words with pictures. If you ace it, does that make you a cheez whiz?

I've seen a commercial where an announcer is:
  1. calling a race between two drops going down the inside of a bottle of some soft drink (product)
  2. before the races ends (the drops reach the liquid in the bottle),
  3. after which, he drinks it (commercial culmination and triumph!).

I had one which I will probably keep: "I'd rather bath in a bowl of Coronavirus!" That was useful.

It's Coronavirus Time

We're with the Coronavirus
They are right (although the second one is probably not meant that way).
Be Like Dad, Keep Coronavirus
Not sure about this one.
