When other characters can't recognize an imposter in spite of the Mangled Catch Phrase (or other details), see EasyImpersonation. Conversely, when the characters around know the imitated well and aren't holding the IdiotBall, this can be a convenient way to SpotTheImposter. When they get it right, see BorrowedCatchPhrase. Not to be confused with SelfBotchedCatchphrase and AlternateCatchphraseInflection, which is when the normal speaker screws up his own phrase, for various reasons.
