Line 62:
* Not entirely coincidental, but in the ''[[Amazing Stories (TV)|Amazing Stories]]'' episode "Mummy Daddy", an actor shooting a mummy movie in a hick town, dressed head-to-toe as a mummy, hears his wife is giving birth and rushes to the hospital without changing out of costume. According to town legend, a mummy came to life fifty years ago and wreaked havoc. Hilarity ensues {{spoiler|especially when the ''real'' mummy shows up}}.
** [[Truth in Television]]. It happened with [[Boris Karloff]] when he was filming ''[[Bride of Frankenstein (Film)|Bride of Frankenstein]]''. And since Karloff also played [[The Mummy (Film)|The Mummy]] in the classic Universal movie...
* One ''[[Arrested Development (TV)|Arrested Development]]'' episode has a bunch of kids telling ghost stories/urban legends and one is telling a version of [
* The dressed-as Hitler-variation happened in one episode of ''[[Childrens Hospital]]''. Of course, Judaism was a recurring theme in the episode and the character involved was the Jewish doctor (the guy playing him isn't Jewish though).
* In the 30Rock episode "The Tuxedo Begins", Liz decides to act crazy so people will give her space on the subway. She starts with a tangled white wig and smeared lipstick, and adds [[The Dark Knight|heavy eyeshadow, a green sweater-vest, a pink gym bag, checkered socks and a worn purple overcoat.]]
Line 118:
* Spongebob in ''[[Spongebob SquarePants]]'' has done this multiple times. While he and Patrick were warning the citizens of Bikini Bottom about a "flying monster coming to eat you," Spongebob flew over the city after being blown up like a balloon. In another episode, he's at a sleepover with Pearl and her friends watching a zombie movie when he gets rootbeer for everyone by absorbing it, and becomes a lookalike to the movie zombies.
** There was also the episode, ''Krab Borg'', where Spongebob mistook Mr. Krabs for a robot. At first, Squidward didn't believe his ramblings, but after seeing Mr. Krabs with piercing red eyes (due to getting salt in his eyes), a pair of tongs in his claw (mistaken for metal pinchers) and two batteries in his back pocket (from his radio that broke and the batteries were in his pocket cause he planned to give them to Pearl for Christmas), he starts to believe Spongebob.
** Another example is ''Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost''. Spongebob and Patrick accidentally melt a model of Squidward that they mistook for the real one, and while they were panicking about saving it, the REAL Squidward comes out of his bathroom, covered in white powder from fixing himself up, and naturally, Bob and Pat freak out and vow to do anything for Squid's "ghost" in apology. Eventually turns into [[Stop Helping Me!]] on his part, especially by the time they try to [[Buried Alive|bury his "ghost".]]
* In the ''[[Care Bears|Adventures in Care-a-Lot]]'' episode "King of the Gobblebugs," Oopsy makes up a story about seeing the eponymous creature, getting the others all riled up to catch it. Later, Oopsy ends up falling into a barrel of glue and gets all manner of things stuck to himself, making the others think he's the king gobblebug, and they capture him.
* In the Chuck Jones cartoon ''The Bear That Wasn't'', a bear ends up on a construction site with a cigarette in its mouth and holding a cup of coffee. No one can see through the [[Paper-Thin Disguise]] and they insist he's "a silly man who needs a shave and wears a fur coat" no matter how much the bear protests.
