Line 30:

* The Detective Boys' Club in ''[[Detective Conan]]'' do this once. Of course, in this case, they were ''forced'' to do it when they {{spoiler|injure an actor (who they thought was a child murderer) and have to fill in for him at the community center play}}.
* ''[[Astro Boy (manga)|Astro Boy]]''
** In an early manga story, Astro does this with the independent lower half of another robot acting as the legs.
** In the ''[[Astro Boy (anime)|Astro Boy]]'' 1980 anime episode The Light Ray Robot Astro does this with Denko so Denko will help people.
* Variant in ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (anime)|Transformers Robots in Disguise]]'': Optimus Prime sits on Midnight Express' shoulders so they can disguise themselves as a giant Buddha.
* In the fourth ending of ''[[Hanamaru Kindergarten]]''; Anzu, Hiiragi, and Koume do this and dress as Yamamoto-sensei to trick Tsuchida-sensei.
* ''[[One Piece]]''
Line 49:
** In Episode 21 of the [[Soul Eater]] anime: Blair is fighting the (remaining) 5 Mizune sisters. She [[Curb Stomp Battle|smashes four of the sisters]] with one spell...but the fifth sister behind her starts [[Giggling Villain|giggling madly.]] Activating the hivemind within the sisters (accompanied by speaking in sync and rhythmic finger-snapping), and do a [[Fusion Dance]] by stacking themselves atop of each other to form a large tower and the five combine to form... a [[Hot Witch]]. [[It Makes Sense in Context]]... I guess.
*** Though the 5-Mizune witch has yet to do anything but provide [[Fan Service]], in the manga two or three Mizune can combine together to form a teenage-looking girl (the one made from three looks a bit older) actually capable of fighting.
* One childhood flashback episode of ''[[Kochikame]]'' has Ryotsu and his two friends dress in a trenchcoat attempting to pay the price of one in a movie theater. Their disguise is blown.
* Seen in the [[Hentai]] manga ''Cherry Town'', where a young boy and a young girl do this... to sneak in a [[Love Hotels]].
* Tyson and Daichi do this in an episode of ''[[Beyblade]]'' so they can sneak into a Shop that's not for kids and get their beyblade fixed.
Line 71:
* Variation in one ''[[Peanuts]]'' strip where Snoopy and his bird friends try to get into the cinema as "One senior citizen, please" by standing on each others' shoulders with a bowler hat on top. The catch? ''No coat''.
* This was done in ''[[Little Nemo]] in Slumberland'' with Nemo in blackface standing on top of Flip standing on top of Professor.
* ''[[Comic Strip/Farside|Farside]]''
** In one strip, three dogs do this to make an attempt to catch a cat they were chasing who went up a tree. The dogs disguise themselves as a woman and have the fire department get the cat down for them.
** In another strip, two cats disguise themselves as a dog but the dog discover this by smelling.

== Fan Works ==
* In this [http://sparkydearly.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fanfics&action=display&thread=630 fanfiction] of ''[[101 Dalmatians|One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]: The Series'', the main pups (Lucky, Cadpig and Rolly) stack up on each other wearing a trench coat and fedora and attempt to rescue one of their adopted brothers. In this case, Lucky stood on Cadpig's shoulders, and Cadpig stood on Rolly's shoulders. {{spoiler|Surprisingly, they are successful.}}
* One [[YouTube]] user made a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ebzw42AW9vs parody] on the "Silly Song" segment from Disney's ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White]]'' using Powerpoint and the characters replaced with [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] characters. In this parody, Tails and Amy Rose perform this trope.
* A Girl on Sheezy Art produce a web Manga regarding Two midgets in a trench coat [http://sheezyart.com/art/view/1638154/ can be seen here]. Very little of it has material that is [[NSFW]] though.
* There exists a fanart on [[Deviant ART]] that shows [[Phineas and Ferb]] performing this.
* Calvin performs a singular variant using stilts in ''[[Calvin and Hobbes: The Series]]''. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] shortly afterwards:
Line 88:
* In ''[[All Dogs Go to Heaven]]'', Charlie, Itchy and Anne-Marie do this to bet on horses as well as do other gambling.
* In the Aardman Animation film ''[[Chicken Run]]'', (a pastiche of classic wartime escape movies featuring the inmates of a chicken farm), the chickens attempt to escape by using this trope to impersonate the farmer's Gestapo-inspired wife during the pre-credits montage of failed attempts.
* Complete with [[Sneeze of Doom]] and everything, Dopey and Sneezy do this in Disney's version of ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White]]''. A rare incidence in which the participants were not trying to fool anyone, but merely providing Snow White with a height-proportionate dance partner. Given that Sneezy's the one underneath, Dopey is soon blown out of the top of the disguise by Sneezy's extreme sneeze, but he does get to dance with Snow White for a bit anyway.
* [[Wallace and Gromit]] did this in the feature ''A Close Shave''.
* In the ''[[Babar]]'' movie Babar, Celeste, and Zephir try to get past some rhinos by piling up on top of each other and wrap up in cloak, while Zephir puts a banana in his mouth. They would've succeeded, too, if Zephir hadn't gotten too enthusiastic.
Line 100:

Line 156:
* This occurs on an episode of ''[[Honey I Shrunk the Kids (TV series)|Honey I Shrunk the Kids]]''. On an episode that parodies a famous ''[[Three Stooges]]'' short, Nick and his friend, Joel, do this wearing a long trench coat, a hat and a fake beard, and they do this to sneak into a wrestling arena to try to help Wayne and police chief Jake. Joel brings along his accordion and tries to play "Pop! Goes the Weasel" to see if Jake could hear it and fight better so he could win.
* This was actually shown on an episode of the Nickelodeon TV show, ''[[What Would You Do]]'' In this instance, they showed a dwarf who wanted to ride a water slide, which had a height requirement, and he was too short. He soon found a kid who was also too short to ride, so he got the kid on his shoulders and used a blanket to cover them up with. This may have just been set up, but it was shown in real time.
* In ''[[Community]]'' episode [[Community/Recap/S1

* Also by a collection of intelligent hamsters in ''[[Narbonic]]'', using a paper plate with a badly drawn smiley for the face.
* Done very ''un''successfully to try to look senatorial while visiting Washington, DC in ''[[Ozy and Millie]]''; oddly, a semi-adult character is part of the totem pole. The lobbyist targets see through it instantly.
* [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2003-01-19 Done quite successfully] in ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'', to create one anonymous [[Starfish Alien|weird alien]] out of three wanted-by-the-police weird aliens. Oh, and one of the three (the eponymous Schlock) ''[[Voluntary Shapeshifting|is]]'' the trench coat.

* In [http://scarygoround.com/sgr/ar.php?date=20070105 this] ''[[Scary Go Round]]'' strip, two goblins disguise themselves as a human teacher, using this method.
{{quote|'''Esther:''' Did we ever find out exactly what's wrong with Mr. Manuel?}}
* In ''[[Minion]]'', the Knight that came to slay the Dark Witch Meryl was in fact [[Tagalong Kid|Rico and Ellaine]] wearing a helm and a cloak. It's a good thing the [[Glamor Failure|cloak blew open]] when it did, since the Knight had by that point hit several of Meryl's [[Berserk Button|Berserk Buttons]] and she was about a second away from blasting "him" into cinders.
* In [http://roosterteeth.com/comics/strip.php?id=2018&page=1 this strip] from [[Rooster Teeth]], four kids dress as two adults to help develop a new video game.
* ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' brings us "[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Dr. Bunwig McTwodudes]]", consisting of two adult men (though they sure aren't acting like it) and a bonus rabbit. [[It Makes Just As Much Sense in Context]]; they really don't have much of a reason to use a disguise like that. Since they're ''not'' short, the "doctor" ends up being very tall, though at least Riff is sitting on Torg's shoulders, not standing.

* ''[[

* On a Halloween special of ''[[Eek the Cat]]'', Wendy and J.C. dress up as a giant chicken to go trick-or-treating, but even with the two of them stacked up, the costume was still too big for them. Eek attempted to solve the problem by making himself the head of the costume, which somewhat helped, but it wasn't long until he was suddenly flung out of the costume causing Wendy and J.C. to go the rest of the night as a headless chicken.
