Line 45:
* There was a ''[[Seinfeld]]'' episode where George got a toupee that looked really bad, though both he and Kramer thought it looked great.

* In ''[[Red Dwarf]]'', this is played with in the episode "Out of Time", which featured the time-traveling epicure versions of the crew. Kryten, the android, looks exactly like what he isis—an -- an android -- inandroid—in the main series (justified because "humans have always found exact duplicates [[Uncanny Valley|very disturbing]].") As an epicure, however, the new Kryten has to "blend in", and he shows up in a pale blue suit and a ridiculous toupee, which incidentally does nothing to conceal the rather cubic nature of his head. Later in the episode, when they must decide whether to fight their future selves because they hate everything they stand for, or give them what they want in order to survive, Kryten uses it as a justification for fighting:

'''Lister''': Ye-ess. Cat?
Line 58:
* ''[[The Golden Girls]]''' Stanley Zbornak frequently wears one of these, at least in the early episodes. It is the source of great amusement for the women.
* In ''[[The Dick Van Dyke Show]]'' Alan Brady wore a bad toupee. At one point Laura gave this away on national TV, though it was really [[The Not-Secret]].
* In the "Police Officer" episode of the British [[Mockumentary]] series ''[[People Like Us]]'', the police captain is wearing such an obvious and horrible toupee that the documentarian has trouble keeping a straight face -- especiallyface—especially when the captain uses several hair-related [[Double Entendre|Double Entendres]]s in the course of discussing the life of a police officer.
* On the "Advanced Gay" episode during the third season of ''[[Community]]'', Pierce's father Cornelius wore an ivory toupee, due to regular toupees being made from the hair of "godless Orientals". The ivory hairpiece, quote, is the only way to be assured of true follicular purity while still identifying oneself as a man of means.
 
Line 75:
** Also notable is his 'freak out' face, where the toupee jumps up for a moment of its own accord. But yeah about that... after the breakdown, you'll wish he kept that thing on... Ugh.
* Don Flamenco from the ''[[Punch-Out!!]]'' series wears a toupee. Knocking it off during a match against him will cause him to [[Berserk Button|go berserk]] and become [[Turns Red|much more aggressive]].
* ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'': one of the [[Cosmetic Award|unlockable hats]] for the [[Husky Russkie|Heavy]] is a [[Dodgy Toupee]] called the "Coupe D'isaster".
