* Done by Goten and Trunks to enter an adults-only tournament in ''[[Dragonball Z]]''. And the best part is, they ''are'' competent at fighting in tandem like that, only stopping at #18, who blows their ruse in the semifinals.

* A variation of this was done on ''[[Digimon]]'', though this one falls more under [[The Worm That Walks]]. In one episode, Davis tries to trick Veemon into Digivolving, and he does it by having a huge group of Numemon and Redvegimon pile up on each other wearing a costume that they put together. It was kind of obvious that the costume was not very well-patched, and the Numemon's eyes were clearly visible in some spots.

** 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.

* A variation in the German strip ''Ottifanten'', which features [[Funny Animal|anthropomorphized elephants]]. Two kids try this trope, but since the lower one has his trunk sticking out, they're mistaken for a flasher.

** J.D. often enlists Turk to help him masquerade as "the world's most giant doctor". The punchline is that there really ''is'' a giant doctor at Sacred Heart, who punctuates these scenes by complaining about J.D. borrowing his coat without permission.

** He also attempts a triple giant doctor, with Elliot on the bottom and Lonnie in the middle. It doesn't go very well.

[[The Chick|Kat]] and [[The Hero|Tommy]] pretend to be [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IboClzWBusQ& Billy's mom] so that they'll be let go. It helps that the police officer they talked to [[Blind Without'Em|couldn't see very well]].

* Discussed in ''[[Castle]]''. One victim happens to have just run a con on a first-grade classroom; forensic evidence says that his murderer was between 5'3" and 6' tall, so the cops conclude that the first-graders probably couldn't have done it unless they were using this trope.
* 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.

** In one episode ("Operation: M.O.V.I.E."), Numbuh Four does this by ''himself'' using several taped-together popcorn boxes as stilts to sneak into an R-rated movie. It's almost blown when he drops his ticket and can't pick it up due to the arms of the disguise being gloves attached to sticks.
** In another episode ("Operation: M.O.U.S.T.A.C.H.E."), Numbuhs One, Two, Three and Five do this to sneak into a headquarters where they can find who is responsible for the evil moustaches turning people into cowboys. They were both teams in this case: Numbuh One was on Numbuh Five, and Numbuh Two was on Numbuh Three.
* Used quite regularly by [[Donald Duck]]'s nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie. They're known for doing this in various Disney cartoons, comics and storybooks, as well as on ''[[
** In one episode of ''[[Mickey Mouse Works]]'', Donald expected this was the case when a tall woman with very poor balance wobbled towards an amusement park ride that the nephews were too short to go on. Turned out she was the real deal, and when he ripped off her clothing she punched him in the face.
* ''[[Clone High]]'': In "A Shot in D'Arc," Napoleon and Taft use this disguise- with stilts, too- to try and score some points in a basketball game against their absurdly overpowered genetically engineered rivals. Funny because Taft is the top half.

* ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy
** In the episode "Who? What? Where? Ed?", the Eds are caught in [[Chain of Deals|an elaborate trading sequence]] worthy of ''The Legend of Zelda'', which leads them at one point to need to procure an anchor. They try to disguise themselves to steal one from the Kanker sisters, by standing on each other's shoulders and wearing a trenchcoat. Things go moderately well until, midway through the conversation, [[The Ditz|Ed]] sticks his head out of the trenchcoat and shouts "I am the legs!"
** In another episode ("Ed... Pass It On"), Eddy spreads rumors around the cul-de-sac that his brother's returning. At the end of the episode, Sarah and Jimmy disguise themselves as Eddy's brother to try to scare the Eds. While the costume does fall apart, Ed still believed that they were Eddy's brother.

Mojo was also wearing a trench coat and fedora in this scene just to be extra cautious.

* In the ''[[Gumby]]'' short, "Wishful Thinking", Gumby and Pokey break into Prickle's house dressed as a ghost attempting to trick Prickle into telling them what he wished for on his birthday. Unfortunately, just as Prickle was about to tell them, Pokey lost his equilibrium causing Gumby to fall off his back and on top of Prickle.

* 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.

After that, Doug had a dream where he met the monster and unzipped the zipper, and the person inside the costume turned out to be three poodles stacked on top of each other.
