* The 1947 short "the Brideless Groom" starring Film/TheThreeStooges inverts this trope as it is Shemp Howard that Christine [=McIntyre=]'s character mistakes for someone else. Christine is expecting her cousin, Basil, and thinking that Shemp is him, starts kissing him affectionately. When she gets a phone call revealing that her visitor is NOT her cousin, she really unloads on Shemp, resulting in a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.

The brothers aren't all that identical, but given that she had no reason to expect any other man in the house and her view of Bobby was mostly of his rear end as be bent to rummage through the fridge, it is perhaps an understandable mistake.
