== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* Parodied on ''[[Little Britain]]'', which featured Emily and Florence, who would dress and attempt to act [[Born in the Wrong Century|like 19th century women]] and insisted that they were ''lay-dees''. Florence has a mustache.
* Mr. Richard McCourt dancing the tango in a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06szyd9ccOQ&t=5m50s very fetching dress] on ''[[Dick and Dom in da Bungalow]]''
* British television has a proud tradition of men dressing as women for comedy. It probably goes back to how men (or boys) played female roles in Shakespeare's day.
** [[Monty Python's Flying Circus]] did this in every episode. It probably helped that the troupe didn't have any women (or just one woman, Carol Cleveland), so at least some of the crossdressing was actually necessary. It mostly served to make the character appear middle-aged and frumpy.

** [[A Bit of Fry and Laurie]] did this all the time, too.
* ''[[Noah's Arc]]'': Romeo borders between this and a ''very'' effeminate man.
* ''[[Boy Meets World]]'' reveals that main character Shawn Hunter is a wannabe crossdresser. In ''the episode "Chick Like Me''" (s4e13), he tries to convince Cory to crossdress for an article about how differently boys and girls are treated. When he tries coaching Cory, Topanga realizes that Shawn is much better at it, convincing him to do the actual crossdressing, instead. He then admits to having thought about it before. By the time they go to college, he's been a public crossdresser (ofoff-screen) so long that other characters turn to him for advice when they crossdress in ''"What A Drag''".
