** ITV's children's show [=SMtv=] featured the running skit ''The Beautiful Corrs'' where Creator/AntAndDec, along with co-host Cat Deeley, donned black wigs to portray the sisters talking about how beautiful they are while "Jim" sat beside them with a paper bag over his face to hide how camera-breakingly "ugly" he was. For the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSSmHNbvblM final appearance of this gag]] the impostors were shooed off by the real sisters... who then proceeded to [[HypocriticalHumor flaunt their beauty]]. (At least they allow Jim, played by the real Jim, to remove the paper bag... then they make him put it back on.)
