* ''Webcomic/SecondEmpire'': The Daleks manage to jury-rig a set of Mechonoid disguises in ''Trapped in Amber'' and even have someone capable of speaking their language. Unfortunately, that someone is [[CloudCuckoolander Grexzol]], whose mastery of the Mechonoid language [[MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels highly suspect at the best of times]]. While they manage to infiltrate the Mechonoid enclave, the moment they are caught, Grexzol tries weaseling out of the guards' attention. Unsurprisingly, his awful accent blows the mission.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E18BurnsHeir Burns' Heir]]", Burns tries to permanently separate Bart from the rest of his family by showing him a recording of them saying they don't miss him. In reality, they are being portrayed by a couple of actors; Homer's is implied to be Creator/MichaelCaine and Lisa's is a male little person from Estonia. Their costumes are exact replicas of the family's and their masks are absolute LatexPerfection, but their stilted acting and flat delivery make Bart suspicious anyhow, and it takes Burns a minute to convince him.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'': The episode "The New Olympians" introduces the shapeshifting criminal Proteus, who can perfectly mimic another being's body and voice, but who ironically is really not a great actor and makes little effort to affect his target's behavior or manner of speech. Goliath is only fooled by his Elisa impersonation because he wasn't aware of the shapeshifter beforehand, and Elisa very quickly sees through his Goliath disguise, only playing along until she can ditch him and try to warn the local authorities of the switch.
