* ''Film/ExMachina'':
** Ava, to a degree, considering she's clearly designed to resemble and act human, but very clearly isn't. When she puts on clothes and a wig, she could easily pass for a human if she had put on a scarf to cover up her metallic nape and the "skin" her clothes didn't cover (and also if she didn't [[NoisyRobots make a buzzing noise]] when she moves).
** Kyoko's lack of vocalization is also rather disconcerting. [[spoiler:When she starts peeling the skin off of her face, it gets ''really'' disturbing]].
** Ava [[spoiler:had several predecessors, all of whom were nude in their flashback footage. One had a time lapse of being built up from a pair of legs, section by section, then doing a SexyWalk, which dives right into FanDisservice. Another, we see as a completely skinned woman minus the metal skull and neck vertebrae; Nathan dragging around her lifeless body like a corpse was...creepy]]. Another one, [[spoiler:apparently "Jade", was being interviewed by Nathan and demanding to be let out in her concurrent interviews, until she was clearly desperate and panicked. Her footage ended on her having a FreakOut and battering at the door until her arms disintegrated, and eventually gave up, crying. Had she been human, her hands and forearms would have been worn down ''to the bone'']].

* You wouldn't believe it from [[PsychoForHire how she acts]] around the other protagonists (so it's not exactly a straight example), but [[PerspectiveFlip from the perspective of her schoolmates]], Mell Kelly of ''{{Narbonic}}'' would probably count as one of these, since when she's at college she puts up a façade of quiet sweetness, as seen in the "Mell Expelled" storyline.

She speaks in stops and starts, inserting somewhat relevant phrases she clearly doesn't understand the meaning of here and there. She rarely moves, instead preferring to just appear places, and overall gives the impression of someone who simply has no idea how living things, let alone humans, act.

* In ''ShinMazingerZero'' three beautiful, tall, ponytailed, blonde triplet girls called Gamia Q1, Q2 and Q3 transferred to Kouji's high school. Given that they were gorgeous and friendly, even if they behaved in a strange fashion and looked a tad weird, all boys in class started to quickly slobber at them. In reality they were three androids (appeared for first time in the ''Anime/MazingerZ'' original manga and ''Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}}'') sent to assassin Kouji Kabuto. Seemingly Kouji bought their masquerade, but shortly after he suggested them dropping their act, and he revealed that he had suspected it all along.
