* Played with in ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver|HeartGold/SoulSilver]]'', where you have to infiltrate Team Rocket's activities at the Goldenrod Radio Tower by donning their uniform. Hilariously, the same [[Mooks]] who just shoved you away from the door gives you a cursory look, then allows you to pass. Especially funny when you consider that all Rocket Grunts [[Faceless Mooks|look alike]], aren't ten year olds, and generally aren't sporting a [[Nice Hat|ridiculous hat]] and pigtails, if you're a female player.
** Made better when your rival comes in, recognizes you immediately, wonders what's up with the disguise, and strips you of it, then to have the grunt finally recognize you.
** Speaking of which, a variation involving inanimate objects was also used. The transmitter used to cause the Gyarados to evolve at a rapid rate at Lake of Rage (and was implied to be the cause of the Red Gyarados) was disguised as a tree near the shop. And by disguised, I mean rather obviously (the control box was clearly seen, not to mention most of the "tree" was metallic gray).
Line 165:
* ''[[Monster Girl Quest Paradox]]'' has Alicetroemeria, actually Alice VIII disguised as a human. Said disguise consists solely of wearing a different kind of dress - her face is completely uncovered. The party immediately figures out her identity upon meeting her, yet Heinrich (who's on a journey to defeat Alice VIII) is comically unable to realize this.
* In ''[[Shantae|Shantae and the Seven Sirens]]'', Rottytops disguises herself as a half-genie, calling herself "Fillin the Blank". Even Shantae (who is often [[The Ditz|rather ditzy]] is suspicious, and anyone familiar with the franchise likely recognizes her quickly.
* In the Stalingrad level of ''[[Call of Duty|Call of Duty Vanguard]]'', where a German soldier sees the disarmed female player character and starts treating her as though she were a civilian (even after having seconds to look at her alone while not under fire), ordering her to stay in an apartment where she promptly finds a knife to stab him in the back and take his gun. The writer seems to have forgotten this woman is still wearing a military uniform, complete with rank tabs, a military cap, and ammo pouches.
