Line 8:
 
== Anime & Manga ==
* In ''[[Rune Soldier Louie (Anime)|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.
** It IS suspicious, but she's able to turn anyone to stone at a whim, so noone questions her. When she finally has to be subject to a strip search, she freezes the guard and Luffy keeps going along the rafters.
Line 20:
 
== Film ==
* Disney's ''[[Hercules (Disney film)|Hercules]]'' and its following cartoon series have Pain and Panic, two shapeshifting imp-like minions in service to the [[Big Bad]]. More curious is their ability to combine into one shapeshifted creature (usually mythological), which can typically be larger than the ones the two are accustomed to appearing as when separate. Arguably this is [[Sharing a Body|Body Sharing]], but it also works with this trope.
* Another instance of body sharing, and +2 men in one suit, is in ''[[Little Nemo|Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland]]''. Late into the movie, the boy Nemo befriends a gang of goblins called The Goblin Boomps, who were escaping from Nightmare Land. They reveal themselves to be friendly and funny goblins, despite what the others expected them to be ([[Fantastic Racism|being goblins]]). They are capable of morphing their bodies together and assuming various forms.
* Disney's ''[[Snow White (Disney film)|Snow White]]'' has Dopey stand on top of Sneezy, in a long coat, to dance with Snow White in the Silly Song number.
* Disney's ''[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'' has several woodland creatures steal the Prince's cape and boots, and pose as Brier Rose's dream prince.
* The classic four-legged animal costume makes an appearance in Disney's ''[[The Princess and Thethe Frog]]'', where two real-estate agents attend a masquerade ball as a horse. The one who acts worse is [[Visual Pun|the horse's ass]].
* An enforced variation of this happens in "[[Drillbit Taylor]]" when two characters are forced by school bullies to share a shirt (actually two identical shirts combined by switching buttons).
 
Line 48:
 
== Western Animation ==
* In the ''[[Tale Spin (Animation)|Tale Spin]]'' episode "Stuck On You," Baloo and the main villain, Don Karnage, are forced to do this when the two are near-permanently glued together by SCIENCE!! And due to the saving of his life, Karnage makes a promise not to kill the hero until they detach via the cure. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* On ''[[Rocko's Modern Life (Animation)|Rocko's Modern Life]]'', when Ed Bighead is too sick to give a proposal to the Conglomo executives, so Bev puts Heffer and Filburt in a hastily made Ed costume so that they can give the proposal. The plan goes off without a hitch, until Hef and Fil, [[Comically Missing the Point]], jump out of the costume to yell, "Surprise!"
** At the beginning, Filbert [[Fridge Logic|points out the absurdity of the plan]] by asking Mrs. Bighead, "Since when does Mr. Bighead have 4 legs?"
* An episode of ''[[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants]]'' has Spongebob and Patrick disguise themselves as a giant Albino Eel using just a sock so they can get Squidward back into his Secret Lodge.
* In the [[Mickey Mouse]] cartoon, "Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip", Mickey and Pluto do this to hide themselves from the conductor (Pete) who is trying to kick them off the train because dogs aren't allowed on it. When the train passes through a tunnel, they snag his jacket and hat and cover themselves with it. Of course, like all their other attempts, they failed.
** [[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]] do this to disguise themselves as a female moose in the cartoon "Moose Hunters".
** Parodied and subverted in a ''[[Mickey Mouse Works]]'' short where Donald is a ride operator and won't let his nephews on the ride. At one point he sees a really tall duck woman in a long dress clumsily walking to the ride, but when he rips the dress off it turns out it really was a woman and she punches his lights out.
* Peter has done the horse costume gag at lease twice in ''[[Family Guy]]''. Once he tried to sneak Chris into the county fair ("Wait a minute... your ass just sneezed! And horses can't talk! No no no, none of this adds up at all..."), and another he had Brian put on the costume so they could sneak past Lois...who didn't even notice ("Okay, I'm just gonna come right out and say it: Why did we need the horse costume?").
* In the ''[[My Gym PartnersPartner'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.
* The [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] episode "Dragon Quest" has Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight all sharing a dragon costume.
* On an episode of the Simpsons all the employees have to go through an X-ray machine to get in. No one is stopped including people carrying guns and "... two kids pretending to be an adult".
* The episode ''Room and Bird'' of [[Looney Tunes]] has Sylvestor, Tweety, and Hector all stand on top of each other wearing a mismatched set of clothes they found in a dresser - the reason being that they are in a no-pets-allowed hotel and had to pass themselves off as being a person to not get kicked out.
