* During a ''Comic Relief'' special, Fran Drescher showed up with a rack of furs. She held a black one, saying "It's fake, but you wouldn't believe what I had to fake to get it."
* In ''[[Sabrina the Teenage Witch (TV series)|Sabrina the Teenage Witch]]'', Salem has a huge gambling debt to a guy (who later turned out to be a cheater), and the Spellmans are forced to work for him to pay it off. At his gambling hall, we see women wearing fur wraps. The furs are later stated to be fake when the Spellmans try to make a potion, and a hair from a fake fur is an ingredient.
* In the ''[[Penn and& Teller: Bullshit!]]'' episode on [[Animal Wrongs Group|PETA]], they make it clear that they have nothing but contempt for this trope, and consider it to be hypocrisy in its purest form. They point out while interviewing a PETA spokesman that he's wearing a fake leather belt, shoes and watchband, thus propagating the fashion even though his outfit didn't directly murder any animals.
* In ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody]]'', Maddie attracts the rage of a local anti-fur group when [[Upper Class Twit]] London reports that Maddie is wearing "fox fur". Maddie later gets the group off her case and explains to London that it's ''faux'' fur, which rhymes with ''dough''.

== Other Media ==
* When the website for the British paper ''[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/ushome/index.html Daily Mail]'' post pictures of celebrities wearing fur, and about 2/3 of the mentions state that the fur is fake (even though some are real, but might have fooled the writers).
