** Naturally, in "[[Avatar: The Last Airbender the Ember Island Players/Recap|The Ember Island Players]]," a kid tells Zuko his "Zuko costume" is great, but his scar's on the wrong side of his face.
{{quote| ''The scar's '''not''' on the wrong side!''}}
* In ''[[American Dragon Jake Long]]'': Jake finds himself out in the street in his dragon form. [[For Halloween I Am Going As Myself|Luckily it was Halloween so no-one freaked out]], but a passerby did call his "dragon costume" unconvincing.

Possibly justified since a metro station is generally noisy, the acoustics are lousy for a violin and it was during rush hour, so many people probably couldn't stop. The low income generated may be less about mistaking him for a lesser performer, and more about completely not noticing him.
