Line 64:
** After failing to get the [[MacGuffin|Triangle of Zinthar]] from the boys, [[Barbra Streisand]] dons a fake mustache and glasses on her second attempt. The boys are fooled and freely mock Streisand in her presence, much to her indignation.
* Used with gusto throughout the ''[[Rocky and Bullwinkle]] Show'', in various manners.
** It gets [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in the Banana Formula story when Boris worries how, after all the times Rocky and Bullwinkle have never seen through his disguises, the Law of Averages was sure to turn on him. Natasha reassures him by pointing out that [[Good Is Dumb]].
** Of course, a big reason Rocky and Bullwinkle could never see through their disguises is that [[Unknown Rival| they never seemed to remember them at all]], disguised or not. There was ''one'' episode where Rocky seemed to recognize Boris' voice, but no further than that.
* In ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'', no one ever recognizes the disguised Beagle Boys under the fake mustache (or whatever), even though they always wear their robbery masks and prisoner numbers. Considering even their own family hasn't seen them without the masks, simply removing them might be far more effective than anything else they could do.
** In a (non-''DuckTales'' related) comic story, this is [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by the Beagle Boys ridiculing one of them when he pulls off a disguise that's actually somewhat more convincing than most others, since he actually bothers to make the mask less noticeable by wearing huge glasses. Earlier and later in the story, the other Beagle Boys had worn disguises that didn't even cover any of their faces.
