• On an episode of Saban's Adventures of Oliver Twist, Oliver, Dodger and Charlie try to pose as aristocrats to sneak past guards to participate in a horse race competition.

    • The Chipmunks also do this in an episode where they're in a reenactment of Treasure Island. Toward the end of the episode, they try to retrieve their treasure from a gang of pirates by posing as the ghost of a pirate. It doesn't go very well.
  • On an episode of The Alvin Show, the Chipmunks do this to try to get a radio station to play their new record, and they probably would have succeeded if Theodore hadn't poked his head out of the disguise and said, "You're very, very welcome!"

• The Amazing World of Gumball: In “The Castle”, Gumball, Darwin and Anais disguise themselves as a pizza delivery guy to try to make an ambush on a bunch of people who invaded their house and refuse to leave.

• Amphibia: In the episode “The New Normal”, Sprig and Polly disguise themselves as a human so their identities could be kept a secret from the residents of Los Angeles. Polly was supposed to be the top half, but ends up being on the top because, being a tadpole who had just recently grew her legs, wanted to make as much use of them as possible.

• BoJack Horseman has "Vincent Adultman", though we only know the real name of one of the kids (Kevin). He even fills out the sleeves with a mannequin arm and a broom. If you couldn't tell from his name alone, his understanding of the adult world is more than a little skewed, such as him ordering "an alcohol" at a bar and claiming to work at "a business factory". Vincent actually carries a relationship with Princess Carolyn for several episodes, with everyone dismissing BoJack's claims that Vincent is obviously this trope as him being his usual Jerkass self.
  • In one episode, Bojack and Hollyhock do this to imitate "Vincent" with Hollyhock on top.

• Codename: Kids Next Door:
  • In one episode ("Operation: M.O.V.I.E."), Numbuh Four does this by himself using several taped-together popcorn boxes as stilts to sneak into an R-rated movie. It's almost blown when he drops his ticket and can't pick it up due to the arms of the disguise being gloves attached to sticks.
  • In another episode ("Operation: S.H.A.V.E."), Numbuhs One, Two, Three and Five do this to sneak into a headquarters where they can find who is responsible for the evil moustaches turning people into cowboys. They were both teams in this case: Numbuh One was on Numbuh Five, and Numbuh Two was on Numbuh Three.
  • In "Operation T.R.I.P." Numbuhs One, Two, Four and Five do this to pose as Numbuh Three's Grandmother. In the same episode, the Interesting Twins From Beneath The Mountain do the traditional trenchcoat-and-fedora version as an attempt to sneak onto a train.

  Dick: What the goons didn't realize was, under the coat I was walkin' on my knees.
• Used quite regularly by Donald Duck's nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie. They're known for doing this in various Disney cartoons, comics and storybooks, as well as on DuckTales (1987), Quack Pack and House of Mouse.
  • In the Mickey MouseWorks short "Donald's Rocket Ruckus", which was reused in the House of Mouse episode "Music Day", Donald expects this to be the case when a tall woman with very poor balance wobbles towards an amusement park ride that the nephews are too short to go on. Turns out she is the real deal, and when he rips off her clothing, she punches him in the face.
  • Played straight in the MouseWorks short "Donald's Halloween Scare", where Donald is at one point confronted by Chief O'Hara. It turns out to not be the real Chief O'Hara, but Donald's nephews disguised as him while standing on top of each other and wearing a Latex Perfection-style mask.
• Doug:
  • On an episode of the Nickelodeon version, Doug watches a horror movie several times but never sees the monster because he always hides his eyes when it appears.

  • In "Who? What? Where? Ed?", the Eds are caught in an elaborate trading sequence worthy of The Legend of Zelda, which leads them at one point to need to procure an anchor. They try to disguise themselves to steal one from the Kanker sisters, by standing on each other's shoulders and wearing a trenchcoat. Things go moderately well until, midway through the conversation, Ed sticks his head out of the trenchcoat and shouts "I'm the legs!", causing their disguise to fall apart and exposing themselves to the Kankers, who are ready to leap towards the Eds and kiss them... right before the Eds manage to run away, failing to get the anchor.

    Ed: Hey!... What flavor ice cream do you want?
• On a Halloween special of Eek! The Cat, Wendy and J.B. dress up as a giant chicken to go trick-or-treating, but even with the two of them stacked up, the costume was still too big for them.

  • In "Fifteen Minutes of Shame", Peter mentions one guy who didn't know he was actually two midgets on Diane Simmons's Show talk show
  • "L'il Griffins" from "Family Guy Viewer Mail #1" (a parody of The Little Rascals) shows a good example of this trope. The episode has Peter and Quagmire spending a night at a scary mansion in an attempt to win the heart of Lois. Both get the idea to try to scare the other out of the mansion by pretending to be ghosts. Quagmire just piles onto Cleveland and Adam West and covers them up with a bed sheet while Peter uses a knight's armor with Joe and Brian.
