* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold!'': The most infamous version of this trope appears in the Arnold Betrays Iggy episode. [[spoiler: At the end of the episode, Arnold has to go out while wearing bunny pajamas in front of the ''whole town.'' Just so that Arnold's "friend" can forgive him for witnessing him in bunny pajamas and "telling" the whole school about it. And this is after Arnold did his chores for a fucking week! And Iggy gets to sit in a high chair because he's a douchebag. But then Sid and Stinky finally get it through Iggy's ''thick fucking skull'' that Arnold did nothing wrong. And now it's too late to stop this. And you'd think the grown-ups who were there couldn't laugh at a child wearing bunny pajamas. Kids laughing, sure. But if the grown-ups laughed, that would be ridiculous, right? Well, maybe in the real world. But in this world, the grown-ups also laugh for some reason even though ''they shouldn't! It's just a child in Pajamas! What the hell is wrong with this fucking town?!'' And now Arnold is understandably pissed at the fucking asshole who made Arnold a laughingstock.]] And my last words? ''Fuck. This. Town.''

When a character, for whatever reason or plot contrivance, is forced to wear an animal costume similar to a mascot's outfit. The costume can be outlandish and ridiculous or simply silly, but either way, it certainly makes it hard to take them seriously. They may or may not gripe about the indignity.

For some reason or another, this is a common trope in {{Anime}}. If a character, or group of characters, is forced to take on an odd job, it will involve wearing one of these.

Compare GoofySuit.

!!Examples:

[[AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
* There's a flashback in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' where Yahiko, Konan, Nagato and Jiraiya are all dressed up as frogs, for no reason other than that Jiraiya is the Toad Sage.
* ''Manga/KOn'' also does the odd job variant; the five members of the main cast end up as a pig (Azusa), cat (Mugi), rooster (Yui), dog (Ritsu), and horse (Mio).
* ''Manga/YuGiOh''. After losing a duel (and a bet), Joey is forced to wear a rather cartoony dog costume. Afterwards, Yugi has to play a game to get Joey out of it.
* In ''Manga/{{Gravitation}}'' this is one of Shinji's traits.
* ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'' has a dramatic example: while fleeing from the Yellow Scarves, Anri is forced into a large pink bunny costume so she can escape unnoticed.
* In ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', the SOS Brigade end up in an assortment of frog costumes as per the odd job rule mentioned above, and spend the day nearly overheating while making fools of themselves. For their hard work, they're allowed to keep the costumes.
* In one episode of ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'', the cast has to wear mascot-like stuffed critter costumes in order to infiltrate the tower of a mad toymaker-mage/demon/whatever (it's a complicated story). The only one who complains about his is Zelgadiss, who has to wear a bunny rabbit costume. Zelga-bunny!

[[AC:{{Fanfic}}]]
* An ''[[Series/TheXFiles X Files]]'' fanfic had Pendrell, who has a crush on Scully, show up at a costume ball in an animal costume.

[[AC:{{Film}}]]
* ''Film/AChristmasStory''. Ralphie is forced to wear the pink bunny pajamas his aunt got him for Christmas.
* In ''Film/AllSuperheroesMustDie'' and the [[ComicBook/AllSuperheroesMustDie comic book prequel]]. Rickshaw forces his minions to wear animal costumes.

[[AC:LiveActionTV]]
* [[BunnyEarsLawyer Alan Shore]] in ''Series/BostonLegal'', from wearing bunny ears in court to dressing as a girl for a Halloween party.
* An episode of ''Series/FamilyTies'' had Mallory and Skippy, who has a crush on her, locked in the basement(?). Skippy is dressed as a chipmunk.
* In the show ''Series/{{Medium}}'', a person who happened to die wearing an animal costume uses it to his advantage by appearing to a young child and telling her to do stuff.
* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''. Although we do not actually see the evidence, one of the things Sam learns about the residents of the Trickster-made town during his often repeated day in the episode "Mystery Spot" is that the town judge dresses up in a "furry bunny costume" at night. Upon overhearing that Sam knows this, the judge knocks over his drink in embarrassment.

[[AC:VisualNovel]]
* In ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'', the loser of the club's games is often forced into one as punishment, or at the very least, a costume with animal accents. Among them are a swan-like ballerina outfit, and a cat-eared-and-tailed maid.
