Line 46:
*** And [[Trademark Favorite Food|Cinnamon buns]] (who would blame him? Cinnabons).
** At one point, Ax gets asked about where he's from? After his first response ("I am from the Republic of Ivory Coast") doesn't work, Ax just lists off a bunch of ''World Almanac'' countries- until finally hearing a suggestion of Canada... At which Ax now promptly notes "I am from Canada. I am Canadese." as his reply.
** Fortunately, they eventually get access to [[Ridiculously -Human Robots|the Chee]], who at least understand ''not'' to eat cigarette butts...
*** They did however, cleaned Marco's room with their ''pleasure'', which is probably just as weird for him. The act irritates Marco to no end, at any rate...
*** And almost blew their cover, as the now very clean room now confused the hell out of Marco's father!

== Live Action TV ==
* In the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' episode called "Rose", Mickey is sucked into a trash can and replaced by an Auton. Despite the fact that he looks like a mannequin, his hair is an obvious wig, his skin is waxy, he ''can't drive'', and he suddenly stammers in a skipping-record sort of way, Rose doesn't realize what's going on until The Doctor ''shoots a champagne cork through his head''. Sure, she's never been very observant when it comes to Mickey, but come on...
** This varies by scene. In the scene in the car, he is very obviously a mannequin. In the scene in the restaurant, he's just got a sheen to his skin and the ''funny'' talking.
** Subverted in another episode of ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'', "New Earth." Cassandra now ''possesses'' Rose, and the Doctor ''pretends'' not to notice till anything becomes sufficiently dramatic.
** Another subversion: In "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood", after one of the characters becomes possessed, Martha notices something off about her, and she confirms this by asking whether she'd like jam and sardines in her tea. "I like the sound of that."
* Reversed and subverted in an episode of ''[[Stargate SG-1]]''. Reversed, in that it's a human, Daniel Jackson in this case, trying to pass for a Goa'uld--hey, at least he speaks the language!--and subverted in that the name he gives, "The Great and Powerful Oz," doesn't fool anybody.
Line 61:
*** O'Neill thought it might work because the last time the people he was trying to bluff saw him, he was about to be implanted with a Goa'uld symbiote. Unfortunately for him, he didn't know that Goa'uld (as well as former Goa'uld hosts) can sense the presence or absence of a symbiote.
** The O'Neill duplicate episode came fairly early in the series, and the team didn't know each other all that well yet; Sam didn't even know about O'Neill's family tragedy. O'Neill's ex-wife just assumed he finally wanted to talk about their relationship and their son's death -- she noticed his odd behavior, but assumed it was caused by psychological trauma. Since she was a [[Muggles]], there was no reason for her to suspect that "space alien duplication" was a valid explanation.
** Jackson pretending to be a bounty hunter: "[[Crowning Moment of Funny|My name is...]] [[Shout -Out|Olo]]. [[Gratuitous German|Hans]]... [[Star Wars|Olo]]."
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in "Off the Grid" when Daniel, Cam, and Sam are all arguing over who would make the most convincing drug dealer for their meet with the bad guys and Teal'c says they're all equally unlikely. Subverted when Mitchell's attempts at posing as said drug dealer backfire off screen and the audience just sees the team running for their lives.
* In the comedy soap opera ''[[Soap]]'', Burt was replaced by a look-alike alien Burt. Though alien Burt acted very oddly and was sex-crazed, only his wife Mary was really concerned, because the real Burt was pretty odd himself.
