** Also from ''Monty Python'', in the Mr. Neutron Sketch: Captain Carpenter, from the top-secret agency FEEBLE must disguise himself to go on a mission to the Yukon. His disguise? A large sign which says "Nothing to do with FEEBLE".
** And from "The Cycling Tour":

* In several ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' sketches, Greg's co-host would like to make it very clear that Greg Is Not An Alien. Greg then proceeds to speak as if he's learned all his lines badly by rote, hiss and trill in obvious panic when splashed with water, and grow a frill around his neck, and is heavily implied to ''eat the guests'' on their sports talk show.
* Played with in one episode of ''[[That 70s Show]]'', when the guys try to smuggle Fez back across the Canadian border (because he misplaced his green card), Eric tells the others: "Remember, we've got nothing to hide", at which point two mounties come over and say "Well, around here, we don't say we've got nothing to hide, if we've actually got nothing to hide, [[Canada, Eh?|eh?]]"
Line 165 ⟶ 167:
* In ''[[Sam and Max Freelance Police]]: The Mole, the Mob, and the Meatball'', Ted E. Bear's [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|Mafia-Free]] Playland and Casino is a Mob-themed [[Suck E. Cheese's|Chuck E. Cheese's-esque arcade/restaurant]] that doesn't seem to try very hard to convince the outside world that it's [[Legitimate Businessmen's Social Club|not a front for the Toy Mafia]].
** Then there's the ''theme song'', which is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLVclnItahk catchy as hell]:
{{quote| ''Ted E. Bear's is oodles of fun<br />
Slots and sandwiches and poker and guns<br />
And look, no mobsters, nary a one,<br />
Just you and me and Ted E. Bear!'' }}
** Max's fake [[Final Speech]] from the same episode, which is so long, overblown and such a [[Cliché Storm]] that it's painful. He even 'dies' several times only to wake up again and add more to it, to the (unsuspecting) villain's annoyance.
** Also General Skun-ka'pe acts like this when you first meet him.
Line 178 ⟶ 180:
** When you talk to the shopkeeper, he'll feel the need to make it clear that the breeze in the shop is just your imagination and is not coming from any kind of [[Elaborate Underground Base|hidden underground hideout]]. ''Then'' he offers you stuff to buy.
* In ''[[Thief]]: Deadly Shadows'', Garrett has the option on listening in on an illicit deal under negotiation. One of the parties is a thug pretending to be him, who fulfils this trope to the letter.

* Laverne disguising herself as a tentacle in ''[[Day of the Tentacle]]'' says things like "Hello! I'm a tentacle!" No one sees through the disguise, despite the obviously human head, arms and legs.
* In [[Magicka]] we have Vlad, who is most definitely not a Vampire.

'''Sabine-as-Policeman:''' He was just speaking to me, a police officer, about his brother Nale's treatment in prison.<br />
'''Nale-as-Elan:''' Right! Because I am Elan, and I am foolishly and inexplicably merciful to enemies who would gladly butcher me, against the better judgement of my allies.<br />
'''Vaarsuvius:''' Hmmm. Well, that certainly is one of your more puzzling qualities. Very well. }}
}}
:::On the other hand, immediately after that exchange, Vaarsuvius reveals that he's noticed that the two had been making out (incidentally, Sabine's "police officer" form was male).[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0364.html Also...]
