''Wondering where I will drip!'' }}
** In the Russian adaptation, he first of all establishes to the bees that: "I'm a little rain cloud and definitely not a bear."
* In [[Terry Pratchett]]'s ''[[Discworld/Wintersmith|Wintersmith]]'', the wintersmith makes himself a human form, and then goes into an inn. He announces, excitedly, "I am a human, just like you!"
** The Discworld book ''[[Discworld/Thud|Thud!]]'' also features a short appearance by John "Most Definitely Not A Vampire" Smith, the representative and local leader of the [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire|Black Ribboners]] in Ankh-Morpork. Vimes makes several references to his less-than-successful attempts to pass himself off as more human, including wearing hideous knit woolen sweaters instead of evening wear, overemphasizing [[Vampire Vords|Ws]] in his speech, smoking pipes (despite not breathing) and collecting bananas for a hobby.

* ''[[DoctorDr. HorriblesHorrible's Sing -Along Blog]]'' invokes this a version of this trope when Penny introduces Captain Hammer to Billy at the laundromat.
