== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* During the class trip in ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'', Kaorin shows up at one point in a souvenir T-shirt... only to see Mr. Kimura wearing it, at which point she runs off to go change. Though this was more because he's an admitted [[Ephebophile]] than for social reasons.
Line 53:
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
* Parodied in a ''[[The Far Side]]'' cartoon, where a cowboy wearing a flowery, decorated hat balks at entering a saloon where another cowboy is wearing an identical hat. All the other cowboys, of course, are wearing the usual style of cowboy hat, all alike.
** Another has two chameleons in the same color at a party.
** Yet another is a psychic convention, where they not only wear the same dress but the exact same hair and makeup. The punchline is that [[Irony|it was completely unforeseen]].
* Variation in [http://www.dilbert.com/strips/comic/1995-08-09/ this] ''[[Dilbert]]'' comic.
* Subverted in a ''[[Pondus]]'' strip where Pondus' wife demands that they leave the party because someone else is wearing the same dress as her. Pondus tries to convince her that it's no big deal, until he sees that the person wearing the same dress is a ''transvestite''. Then he cries out for a taxi.
* In one early ''Tank McNamara'' strip, tennis player Barb was going to play Chris Evert, and wanted an edge. Her boyfriend suggested she wear a tennis dress identical to Chris's. Barb said angrily that "even in ''jest'' that's an asinine, sexist, stupid, dumb, ''male'' idea ... and it really ''disgusts'' me that I'm going to try it." The last panel of the next strip showed Evert missing a shot while wondering frantically, "Where'd she get it? Where'd she get it?"
* In a series of ''[[FoxTrot]]'' comics, Andy forces Peter to wear a dorky shirt on the first day of school: "I'm asking you to dress nicely for one day. [[Tempting Fate|How bad can that be?]]" When he gets to school, he discovers, to his horror, that super geek Morton Goldthwait is wearing the same shirt. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
