Line 44:
*** "[[The Venture Brothers|IGNORE ME!]]"
** "Attention duelist! My hair is definitely not leading you into a trap!"
** Let's not forget Crump, who was possessing Tea, and had to avoid arousing suspicion. He constantly made references to penguins, and the fact that he wanted to have sex with Yugi. But, well, the only thing that really convinced everyone it was Tea was this little gem:
{{quote|'''Joey:''' Yugi, do you notice anything weird about Tea?
'''Yugi:''' I haven't noticed anything. You feeling okay Tea?
Line 50:
'''Yugi:''' Yep, she's fine. }}
* An episode of ''[[ReBoot the Abridged Series]]'' has this with Cyrus/Syrus/however his name is spelled.
* ''[[A Hero (fan work)|A Hero]]'' has Dalek Sec, who [[Inverted Trope|inverts]] this by proudly proclaiming that he is, in fact "[[Sarcastic Confession|AN IM-PE-RIAL-IS-TIC SPA-CE NA-ZI]]" to anyone who cares to ask. This, combined with the fact that, for all their fearsome firepower, Daleks naturally look ridiculous, has lead people to believe that he's just a crazy guy in a suit.
* ''[http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Orkhammer Orkhammer]'' is built around the [[Running Gag]] of Orkz "infiltrating" the rest of ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' factions.
{{quote|'''"PDF Corporal"''': Me, boss? I’z definnily a humie, ain’t that right, boyz? }}
Line 91:
''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.
** The Wintersmith never denied he was the Wintersmith, though; he just wanted to be human so Tiffany would love him.
* In ''[[Animorphs]]'', Ax pretends to be a delinquent.
Line 113:
** Subverted in a later episode when {{spoiler|Cassandra takes over Rose's body. Of course the Doctor knows something is wrong, but he jumps to the wrong conclusion.}}
** The teenage "son" from the Family of Blood spends two episodes walking around looking ''as suspicious as is (in)humanly possible.'' [[Refuge in Audacity|It only works because he pulls it off in such a magnificently creepy way.]]
* ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'': Simon acting as Mal's boss in "Jaynestown" is like this.
{{quote|'''Simon:''' Yes? ''(playing up role)'' I mean, I make the decisions around here, uh-- employee... ''(to Foreman)'' I employ him. He is a person I employ. I'm the boss.}}
** It gets [[Lampshaded]] when Wash sarcastically asks when Simon became such a cunning master of disguise.
Line 253:
 
== Web Original ==
* ''[[DoctorDr. HorriblesHorrible's Sing -Along Blog]]'' invokes this a version of this trope when Penny introduces Captain Hammer to Billy at the laundromat.
{{quote|'''Billy:''' We're meeting now for the first time.}}
** Also, it doesn't actually fool Hammer, who just waits until Penny's out of earshot to make it clear [[I Know You Know I Know|he knows]].
Line 262:
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130830115314/http://evilatheistconspiracy.org/en/about.htm There is no Evil Atheist Conspiracy!]
* [http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/692321-bait-this-is-bait There's a reaction image] for this.
* Mocked [https://web.archive.org/web/20160827003242/http://themetapicture.com/how-i-feel-on-the-internet-nowadays/ here]. The problem with Internet today? Not the excess of clueless, cringeworthy shills at.
* in the Netflix original series ''[[The Dragon Prince]]'' Rayla, a Moonshadow Elf and Callum, a Human, have on separate occasions decided to disguise themselves as human and elf, respectively, to blend in with the local population. However, their attempts to pass themselves as human or elf turn out like this in practice.
