Two Men, One Dress: Difference between revisions

An example of the trope is the classic four-legged animal costume (where one character plays the head and front legs, while the second plays as the butt of the joke...literally). Other times it'll be less obvious, where a dwarf might sit on the shoulders of a giant and have a concealing jacket (or the like) to make the look of a [[Genius Bruiser]], or to simply get both characters past an obstacle without leaving one of them behind. A more cunning way of doing this involves a [[Latex Perfection|latex suit]] but sometimes this can backfire due to the strain of too many people in one costume, or the opposite, not enough strain to look "natural."

{{examples}}

* In ''[[Rune Soldier Louie]]'', the main character, Louie, fist fights in a tournament with an assassin, only find that his opponent's executioner mask covered head is a disguise for a really, really tiny second assassin, who attempts to knife the tournament's sponsor...and fails.

* In ''[[One Piece]]'', Boa Hancock smuggles Luffy to Impel Down under her dress.

** The ruse falls apart when an opponent kicks them hard enough that it appears Mighty Mask had been snapped in two.

* Harima and Eri share a lion costume in the New Year episode of ''[[School Rumble]]''.

== Literature ==

* In ''[[A Series of Unfortunate Events|The Carniverous Carnival]]'', Violet and Klaus use this to pose as a two-headed person.

* In the ''[[My Gym Partner's a Monkey]]'' Episode "Lyon of Scrimmage" Jake poses as Adam's arms by hiding in his jersey to combine Jake's throwing and Adam's running.

* Shaggy and ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' have done this a number of times.

* In the ''[[Chowder]]'' episode "The Bruised Bluenana" Panini hops into Chowder's clothing to keep an eye on him while he takes care of a spoiled fruit.
