* In ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode ''Marge Gamer'', all characters in an [[MMORPG]] Bart and Marge played were clearly fantasy versions of other Springfield residents. Apparently, ''everyone in town'' plays on the same server, by some [[Contrived Coincidence]]. They all managed to create characters who look exactly like themselves, except for minor details (Marge's character is basically her with elf ears, for example.)

* In ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode ''Marge Gamer'', all characters in an [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]] Bart and Marge played were clearly fantasy versions of other Springfield residents.

They all managed to create characters who look exactly like themselves, except for minor details (Marge's character is basically her with elf ears, for example.)

* The most ridiculous example by far would be ''Everlot'' in the ''[[Kim Possible]]'' episode "Virt-u-ron". Ron recognizes the villain in-game (it's an MMORPG, and the villain's been capturing all the other players) from his voice and mannerisms in the real world. The villain then reveals himself by removing the helmet of his in-game avatar. And the Tunnellord actually {{spoiler|has Rufus' face under his helmet.}}

* ''[[South Park]]'' did this with the actual game of ''[[World of Warcraft]]''. As they used machinima footage from the real game, they couldn't put the character's heads on the in-game characters, but the characters still looked similar: Stan and Kyle wore clothing the same color as their hats, Cartman was a short, fat Dwarf in red, and Kenny wore orange.
