You need a certain character to be involved in some sort of activity. The certain character cannot/doesn't want to/will hurt you if you approach him/her. So what are you going to do? That's easy: you get a piece of cardboard and draw a crude image of the character on it. Or draw his/her face on a melon. Or anything like that. Nobody will know the difference.
Line 37:
** During the ending credits, they perform a mock interview of the film's director Rick Sloane using another cutout and Crow doing the voice. The real Sloane was reportedly not amused: understandable since they claim that Sloane was "high on crack" and "had his brain replaced by rat droppings".
* In ''[[The Goodies]]'' epsiode "Bunfight at the O.K. Tea Rooms", Graeme creates a dummy of himself out of a frying pan, a mop and some other odds and ends to fool the others while he sneaks away to register the cream claim. Tim and Bill converse with it for some time before they notice anything is amiss.
* In an episode of ''[[Men Behaving Badly]]'', [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Tony and Gary]] have fallen out, so Gary constructs a fake Tony out of an inflatable sex doll and Tony's clothes so they can continue to have their [[Seinfeldian Conversation|Seinfeldian Conversations]]s on the sofa while drinking lager. It gets awkward when the real Tony returns halfway through and Gary has to hastily cram the doll under his cushion to hide and try to deflate it.
* In an episode of ''[[Friends]]'', Ross gets out of Monica's "fun activity" of packing Rachel's stuff by saying he's looking after his son. Since his apartment is directly opposite Monica's, he then has to fashion a fake Ben out of spare clothes and a pumpkin. This works right up to the point where the pumpkin falls off.
* On ''[[The Dish]]'', Danielle Fishell has cut-outs of most of the [[New Moon]] cast.
* In one episode of ''[[My Name Is Earl]]'', Randy makes a full-sized Darnell doll because he misses the real Darnell. Then he makes an Earl doll after the real Earl goes missing as well.
* [[Stephen Colbert]] has a cardboard cutout that he posses with people to show that he has best friends.
* One Russ Abbot sketch is set in a World War 2 prison camp. The commandant, making an inspection, warns his sidekick that British officers have been known to escape and leave dummies behind -- sobehind—so they should be vigilant. When they enter the hut, we see Russ surrounded by four obvious cardboard cutouts. [[Hilarity Ensues]] as he tries to convince the Germans that they are real people.
