* One ''[[Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir Fresh Prince]]'' episode had Will pretending to be Ashley's father for a parent-teacher conference and he ends up attracted to the said female teacher. After the conference ends and he begins flirting with her, she seemingly is reciprocating his advances [[BaitAndSwitch only to realize that his mustache is fake by ripping it off]] and deciding to get to the bottom of the situation by calling Ashley's ''real'' parents.


Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' episode "Doug and the Weird Kids" has him getting to know twin classmates Al and Moo Sleech for an assignment and when he requests to meet their father, they instead have Moo dress up as their father, much to Doug's frustration [[PaperThinDisguise who wasn't fooled in the slightest]]. It appears that the boys are ashamed of their father (and proceed to freak out when he comes home in the middle of Doug's visit), but turns out their father is a simple NiceGuy baker who himself is flabbergasted at having two geniuses for sons.

* The sci-fi / drama manhua ''Manhua/MyBelovedMother'' have the protagonist Sinbell asking for his neighbor, Aunt Slado, to attend a parent-teacher meeting in his mother's stead. Though it isn't because his results are mediocre (on the contrary - Sinbell's grades are ''highest in class'') but it's because Sinbell doesn't want his adoptive mother, a ''robot'', to appear in class due to FantasticRacism and prejudice from children RaisedByRobots.
