Line 23:
* In Tim Burton's ''[[Mars Attacks!]]!'', a Martian disguises his... her... itself(?) as a voluptuous babe to catch the attention of a horndog White House staffer (the better to gain access to the President). She walks, talks, and does everything "strangely" but he doesn't notice until she bites off his finger!!
* ''[[The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra]]'':
{{quote| '''Kro-Bar''': My wife sometimes forgets that she is ''not'' [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|a space alien]].<br />
'''Kro-Bar''': Aliens? Us? Is this one of your Earth jokes? }}
* Edgar, in the first ''[[Men in Black (film)|Men in Black]]'' movie.
Line 68:
** We also have all of the demons at Xander and Anya's wedding, and Clem at Buffy's birthday party.
*** And Anya herself, when she's trying to keep the Watcher's Council from finding out she's an ex-demon:
{{quote| ANYA: Anya Christina Emanuella Jenkins, twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July, and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. Who's our little patriot? they'd say, when I was younger, [[Captain Obvious|and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.]]}}
* Done hilariously in an episode of ''[[Mad TV]]'', where throughout the episode, segments were aired for "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLSlGmVrmuM Smith Comma John, Human Being for President]", in which the candidate demonstrates his human American nature with statements like "I am sitting next to fire. Willingly." and introducing his wife: a golden retriever. The capper is when he partakes in the all-American activity of eating corn dogs, first sticking his hand into a deep fryer to retrieve one, and then "eating" it via the magic of visual effects: the camera stops for a moment, a bite is missing, and he pretends to be chewing, before going for another "bite". ''Sooo'' not an alien.
* In ''[[Smallville]]'', after being a [[Human Popsicle]] for months, Clark Kent is enraged when he returns and finds that Bizarro (this version looks exactly like Clark, except when sunlight falls on him) had stolen his identity, and no one except Chloe noticed. Chloe had no choice but to stay silent, as Bizarro would have killed her if he found out that she knew. Clark would have been fine with it if Lana had also been playing along, but she was ''completely fooled'' and had sex with Bizarro several times.
Line 113:
** [[Trope Namer|Names the trope]] in the episode "A Taste of Freedom".
* "Bill Cosby" from the Trapper Keeper episode on ''[[South Park]]'' is a ''[[Terminator]]''-esque operative from the future who takes a contemporary name.
{{quote| Oh, I see. Alright, I'll pay 100 geliga stones -- uh, I mean, hu-mon dollars! -- eugh, I mean dollars!}}
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'':
** In a Treehouse of Horror episode, where Kang and Kodos attempt to sabotage the 1996 American presidential election by assuming the identities of Bill Clinton and Bob Dole. In one campaign speech, Kang (as Clinton) monotonously intones "I am Clin-Ton! As overlord, all will kneel trembling before me, and obey my brutal commands!" before crossing his arms over his chest and shouting "End communication!" His staffers attribute the behavior to an "over-tight necktie".
{{quote| '''Marge:''' That's slick Willy for you, always with the smooth talk.}}
** In another episode, Homer is kidnapped and replaced by a lookalike who speaks with a German accent, has no understanding of Homer's personality, and explains the sense that there's something different about him by stating "I am a new tie wearing." Subverted; Marge sees through it immediately, but she ''still'' decides to go along with it after he promises her sex.
* In one episode of ''[[The Flintstones]]'', The Great Gazoo creates a duplicate of Fred. The duplicate can only utter the words "Yes yes yes", separated by one second pauses. Despite this, absolutely no one notices the difference.
