15	-->-- ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'', ''Recap/AsterixAndSon''
16
17	There are many ways to insult, but one of the most common ones is to simply copy them (to their face or no). In fact, the verb "mock" can mean both "to ridicule" and "to copy". Perhaps this is because they're pointing out what is most ridiculous about the person they're insulting.
18
19	They often try to make the person they're copying look especially stupid by putting on a [[SimpletonVoice dumb]] version of their voice, adding insults into their description of the person, (e.g. "Look, I'm Alice, I'm really uncoordinated and have two stupid kids!"), or acting deliberately clumsy while pretending to be the person.
20
21	Any parody that's [[AvertedTrope not]] an AffectionateParody (see TakeThat) could be a variation on this trope. It's also the reason behind things like {{blackface}} (racists would insult black people by pretending to be black themselves) but plenty of children who use Copycat Mockery don't grow up to be bigots. If an adult uses Copycat Mockery, they're often [[BigStupidDooDooHead childish]] or [[DeadpanSnarker mouthy]]. On the internet, there's a trend of [=wRiTiNg LiKe ThIs=] when quoting something that the person writing it perceives as dumb.
22
23	Compare NoYou and StopCopyingMe. Can be TheDissTrack if in song. Contrast PretenderDiss and IrritationIsTheSincerestFormOfFlattery. Compare and contrast with HandPuppetMockery. Sometimes follows a YourMom joke (e.g. "Well, ''your'' mom..."). Not to be confused with KnockingTheKnockoff, which is about one work taking a potshot at another seen as ripping it off.

204	** In "Best Seats in the House", after Oren interrupts Olive to brag about him and Olaf solving the most cases that week, Otto takes out his journal book and says that he has all of his and Olive's solved cases written down in it. Oren throws his words right back at him in a mocking tone of voice, much to the confusion of Olive before he pulls out his own journal book and says, in a normal tone of voice, that he also has his and Olaf's solved cases written down.
205	** This is actually a common odd illness known as "Copy-itis", which Olympia and Otis think a client is infected with in the ColdOpen of "Flawed Squad". In reality, he's just a {{Jerkass}} who called Odd Squad because he wanted their help to be a nicer person. Olympia hits him with a gadget she dubs the "Nice-inator", which makes him do a complete 180 from being rude to being far more kind, and as the two agents walk away, Olympia tells Otis that the "Nice-inator" is really a flashlight and that the client [[ItWasWithYouAllAlong had the power to be nice in him all along.]]
206	** In "Mr. Unpredictable", Omar mockingly imitates Opal when the two receive another taunting from the eponymous villain via a black-and-white, 3D movie, since Omar wants to use a hundreds chart to find a pattern in how Mr. Unpredictable commits his crimes while Opal keeps mistakenly believing she's found the pattern without thinking things through. She ends up being completely oblivious to his mockery, much to his chagrin.
207	--->'''Omar:''' Hundreds chart, or will you just say, "I don't need it, I've already solved the case!"\
208	'''Opal:''' The second one.
209	* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': Miss Brooks has learned to expect Mr. Conklin's typical DelayedReaction when he is surprised by anything angering or distasteful. A couple of times, she mimics his exclamation ''and expression'' when it finally comes along. A good example is in the episode "Cure That Habit". On radio episodes, being an audio medium, Miss Brooks sometimes just copies the inevitable shout.
210	* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': In the episode "Brothers", has Data tell himself that he is not less perfect than his evil "brother" Lore, only for Lore to repeat mockingly, "I am not less perfect than Lore!", leading to their creator, Dr. Soong, telling them both to be quiet.

213	'''Dean:''' ''[imitates crying sarcastically]''
214	* ''Series/TheToyCastle'': In "Copy Cat", the Clown is annoyed at the Rag Doll for interrupting a game, so he decides to copy her every move to get rid of her. This includes dancing, making faces, stomping feet, until the Rag Doll leaves crying. The Goblin watches from the side the whole time, and [[KindnessBall in a rare act of empathy]], decides to copy the Clown right back to show him how the Rag Doll feels. After some back and forth, the Clown begs for the Goblin to stop and apologizes to the Rag Doll.
215	* ''Series/{{Victorious}}'': Jade will often mock Tori by imitating her, always giving her a stereotypical SouthernBelle accent. Tori will typically respond by insisting she doesn't sound like that. Tori does eventually do this back to her, though Jade is out of earshot when this happens.
216	* Abounds in ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'', especially aimed at Drew. The GagReel includes clips of Ryan mocking the director's gestures as he's giving Drew stage directions. One clip has the director catching Ryan and reversing the mockery only for Ryan to make a certain hand gesture which the director imitates before he catches what he's doing and immediately quits, much to everyone's amusement.
217	[[/folder]]
218
219	[[folder:Music]]
220	* Music/{{Eminem}}'s gift for imitating voices and ear for imitating genres means this is one of the signature skills in his toolbox.
221	** Eminem frequently copies the flow and voice of other rappers, both for AffectionateParody and for TheDissTrack. While a trick he uses throughout his career (particularly when ribbing his frequent rival Music/{{Canibus}}, whose highly technical wordy style and high-pitched gravelly voice is easy for him to make fun of), this reached its high point with "Kamikaze", a whole album full of him mocking TrapMusic flows with WordSaladLyrics, tortured voices and incoherent adlibs.
222	*** This even extends outside of hip-hop genres. In "I Remember (Dedication to Whitey Ford)", a diss track aimed at [[Music/HouseOfPain Everlast]], Eminem spends most of the song singing in a droning, slightly off-key style over a grunge rock production to make fun of Everlast abandoning HipHop for straight rock. The result is that it's the closest thing to a pure rock song in the entire Eminem discography.
223	---->I can sing better than you and I don't fuckin' sing!
224	*** In "Killshot", he briefly imitates the sneering delivery of Music/MachineGunKelly, as well as his vocal adlibs.
225	** Eminem constantly jumps into the voices of other characters in his songs, usually to represent MoralGuardians complaining about his music.
226	*** In "The Real Slim Shady", he raps in an effeminate voice as a couple of feminists complaining about Slim Shady's coarseness, but agreeing he's '[[CutenessEqualsForgiveness so cute, though]]'.
227	*** In "Rap God" he mocks rival rappers in a stereotypical dumb-guy voice - "''I don't know how to make songs like that! I don't know what words to use!''" - and whiny genre purists - "''It's not hip-hop, it's pop!''".
228	*** "Chloraseptic (Remix)" involves him voicing his critics who blast his {{Horrorcore}}-influenced VulgarHumor style for being outdated -- "''Rap mature! Why can't you be like Music/{{Macklemore}}? Why you always gotta smack a whore?''" -- while also yelling at him for changing his style to fit the times -- "''What's with all the conscious rap?''".
229	* Music/HenryRollins' hatred of techno music has been fodder for EDM producers. One example includes "Rave Review" by [=SKisM=], which uses his imitation of techno as an actual synth.
230	[[/folder]]
231
232	[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
233	* Wrestling/DGenerationX was one of the most known and successful stables on the Wrestling/{{WWE}} history, being a funny group with hilarious promos. One of the most remembered is when Wrestling/TripleH and Wrestling/ShawnMichaels impersonated none less than [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa1P6gdKIwk Vince McMahon]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5dMJi1v9Q0 and his son Shane.]] Another (remembered far less fondly due to ValuesDissonance) is their impersonation of Wrestling/TheNationOfDomination, complete with blackface... And about Michaels, also made a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ-Sayfnhvg hilarious imitation]] of Wrestling/HulkHogan as part of their feud road to ''Wrestling/{{Summerslam}} 2005''.
234	* Wrestling/{{ECW}} gave liberties to [[Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin Steve Austin]] to be himself and forge a character,[[note]]To be noted: his general attitude and the "That's the bottom line" were born in ECW before he went to WWE as "Stone Cold",[[/note]] which he did in part thanks to his poor (with a purpose) imitations of [[Wrestling/EricBischoff Eric]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqC0Jrcqg04 Bischoff]] and [[Wrestling/HulkHogan Hulk]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDQk-NPZyUk Hogan,]] having a short time in Wrestling/{{WCW}} and mocking them.

236
237	[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
238	* Franchise/TheMuppets:
239	** ''Series/TheMuppetShow'':
240	*** In Jean Stapleton's episode, Beaker is particularly moody during the Muppet Labs segment, and he briefly mocks Bunsen in meeps.
241	---->'''Bunsen:''' Isn't that right, Beaker?\
242	'''Beaker:''' ''[mimicking his tone in a mocking way]'' Me-me-me ''me-me''? Meep.
243	*** The episode featuring Creator/ZeroMostel has Sam the Eagle, an InUniverse MoralGuardian, going to Zero's dressing room to decry the production as "distastefully lacking in culture." Zero pretends to agree with Sam, but when the eagle turns away, he mocks his uptight words and behavior with exaggerated facial expressions and gestures (and possible use of weapons!), only to stop whenever Sam looks back at him.
244	** In one episode of ''Series/{{The Muppets\|2015}}'' (2015), Kermit says "It's time to work", which the Swedish Chef mockingly repeats. Kermit demands to know who said that (even though he was looking right at Chef when he did it) as everyone laughs; Chef plays innocent and asks who did it.
245	* In the ''Series/FraggleRockBackToTheRock'' episode "Fraggle Up", when Gobo starts talking about how Uncle Travelling Matt discovered radishes, Red mutters "Oh boy, here comes the story." As Gobo launches into this epic tale, Red exaggeratedly mimics his expressions and gestures, because she's heard it so many times she knows exactly how he tells it.
246	[[/folder]]
247
248	[[folder:Theatre]]
249	* In ''Theatre/TheBarberOfSeville'', Bartolo catches Figaro doing this to him when he comes to Bartolo's house to shave him; Figaro tries to pass it off as "son debolezze" ("a moment of weakness"). Fortunately for Figaro, Bartolo has [[WifeHusbandry other things]] on his mind at that moment.
250	* In ''Theatre/TheMagicFlute'', as Papageno and Pamina are searching for Tamino, they repeatedly sing "...nur geschwinde, nur geschwinde, nur geschwinde" ("quickly, quickly, quickly"). At that moment, the villainous Monostatos and his troop of slaves arrive to capture them, and Monostatos mockingly sings "...nur geschwinde, nur geschwinde, nur geschwinde!" back at them.
251	* In ''Theatre/WestSideStory'', a comedic song halfway through the play involves the Jets taking turns to mock the resident DirtyCop by mimicking him.

254	[[folder:Video Games]]
255	* ''VideoGame/BearAndBreakfast'' has the following exchange between Anton and Hank.
256	--> '''Anton''': What's the point of havin' bootlickers if they're not passionate in boots or lickin'?\
257	'''Hank''': Maybe the flavour isn't great?\
258	'''Anton''': [=mAyBe tHe fLaVoUr iSn'T gReAt=]... I oughta turn you into boots and see what flavour comes out eh?
259	* ''VideoGame/{{Control}}:'' A rather [[DeadpanSnarker deadpan example]] happens in the game's Foundation DLC, where [[PlayerCharacter Jesse]] gets into an argument with the Board -- a [[CreepyGood vaguely benevolent but ominous]] cosmic entity that speaks in [[MultipleChoiceFormLetter hard-to-parse multiple-choice lines]] -- over the Board declining access to a new paranatural ability that she needs.
260	-->'''Jesse:''' I don't like you deciding what I can slash can't have.
261	* In ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'', recurring companion and KillerRobot, HK-47, admits upfront that he holds a rather dim view of the other companions from [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic the first game]], calling them "a collection of tortured individuals that seemed unable to confront their basic personality conflicts." For good measure, he then does less-than-flattering impersonations of both [[JadeColoredGlasses Carth]] and [[{{Tsundere}} Bastila]]:
262	-->'''HK-47:''' Mockery: "Oh, Master, I do not trust you! I cannot trust you, or anyone else ever again!" Mockery: "Oh, Master, I love you but I hate everything you stand for, but I think we should go press our slimy, mucus-covered lips together in the cargo hold!"
263	* In the first ''VideoGame/TimeCrisis'', once you confront [[DragonTheirFeet Wild Dog]], he mockingly imitates what [[DamselInDistress Rachel]] would probably say -- while he's holding a gun to her head.
264	-->'''Wild Dog:''' Oh, you're finally here to save me!
265	[[/folder]]
266
267	[[folder:Visual Novels]]
268	* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight:'' Archer normally [[SpectralWeaponCopy uses his ability to copy other heroes' weapons]] [[IrritationIsTheSincerestFormOfFlattery as his way to respect their original users]]. If the original user is a self-aggrandizing scumbag (like, say, Gilgamesh), however, he'll go out of his way to copy their weapons to mock them.

275	[[folder:Web Original]]
276	* Lenny and the Website/JollyRogerTelephoneCompany are chat-bot programs designed to waste the time of telemarketers and other unwanted callers by using recordings that activate when silence is detected to trick the into thinking they're talking with a real response. Sometimes if the callers get annoyed enough they'll descend into this to try to upset the bots into hanging up, but, of course, they're bots and can't be upset.
277	* The "Mocking WesternAnimation/{{Spongebob\|Squarepants}}" [[MemeticMutation meme]] takes this form, using a still from "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS9E4LittleYellowBookBumperToBumper Little Yellow Book]]" where Spongebob acts like a chicken, accompanied by repeating someone else's statement in alternating case as a visual text approximation of a SimpletonVoice.[[note]][=ThE mOcKiNg SpOnGeBoB mEmE tAkEs ThIs FoRm...=][[/note]]

He repeats their (supposed) former sentiments in a childlike tone only to yell "LIAR!" Later, he suddenly breaks into a bawl that's louder than that of the child's sobbing to shut them up.
283	--> '''Jason:''' "Oh Daddy, I want a toy, I want a little teddy bear!" ''(fake crying)'' [[SuddenlyShouting LIAR!!!]]
