A character is put into a position (for [[The Mole|whatever]] [[In Another Man's Shoes|reason]]) where they must impersonate someone or pretend to be a member of a particular group. The character, instead of simply acting like an X, attempts to do this by constantly announcing they are an X, that they're doing things because that's what an X does, and [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|there is not the slightest chance that they could ever not be an X]].

Ash breaks character a lot while he's in the disguise but always does his best to recover from it, until eventually, Pikachu revealed Ash's identity by electrocuting him.
* Sousuke's attempts at passing himself off as a normal civilian in ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' occasionally segues into this, especially when one of his classmates ropes him into a [[Zany Scheme]] where he has to pretend being her boyfriend in front of her friends.

* An episode of ''[[
* ''[[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.
