== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In episode 16 of ''[[Bodacious Space Pirates]]'', pirate captain Marika has members of the Girl's Yacht Club help out on her ship, the Bentenmaru, while the regular crew is stuck in quarantine due to a virus they got in an earlier episode. When they raid a ship, the girls all show up in various cosplay costumes. Marika chuckles nervously throughout the entire "raid", but the guests on the ship don't seem to mind the costumes overall.
* ''[[Cosplay Complex]]'' is all about this.
* As in the picture, ''[[Lucky Star]]'' has this at both a convention and the [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Haruhi Theme Cafe]].
Line 25:
* One episode of ''[[World of Narue]]'' has Narue entering a costume competition because her boyfriend likes the character (and she thinks he likes the voice actress better than he likes her). She's the only one who actually makes her costume, the other contestants buying theirs off-the-rack.

* In ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'', SOS Brigade and some guests (Nonoko, Kuyou, Sasaki, and Kyouko) make a [[Memetic Mutation|Big Damn Cosplay]] parade of ''[[Touhou]]'' characters.

== Live
* In one ''[[Freaks and Geeks]]'' episode, three of the guys dress up for a science fiction convention.
* In season five of ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' Sam and Dean meet people cosplaying as ''them''. They're understandably creeped out by it.
Line 48:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* The [[Closing Credits]] Sequence of ''[[Daria]]'' features the characters in various alternate costumes. Most of the time, the costumes are generic
* When the cast of ''[[Futurama]]'' goes to Comic Con 3010, they take part in the costume contest, with some of the contestants dressed as characters from the very show they're on. Lrr tries to invade Earth during the contest, but is dismissed as [[Your Costume Needs Work|just another guy in a costume]]. The winner, by the way, is Bender, who dresses as "every nerd's fantasy", Leela.
* In the ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' episode "Nerds of a Feather", the boys go to a convention where almost everyone is dressed up as characters from either [[Space Opera|"Space Adventure"]] or [[High Fantasy|"Stumbleberry Finkbat"]]. And [[Periphery Demographic|Candace]] goes dressed as [[Widget Series|Ducky Momo]].
