* Used ''hilariously'' in ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical'': in the films, Quirrell is played by one man, with Voldemort's face [=CGI=]d onto the back of his head. In the show, it's simply two men, standing back to back, in one gigantic robe with an oversized turban. This is PlayedForLaughs often, but ''especially'' when Quirrell attempts to go to bed by falling backwards while Voldemort falls face forward onto the bed.
** The Hungarian Horntail is similarly played by three people in a (rather bad) dragon costume.

* ''Theatre/TheresABurglarInMyBed'' has a bit where two female thieves dressed in French maid outfits have to share a single skirt. They cut it in half and each holds one piece in front of herself, standing very close to each other even while moving about. They never turn their backs on other characters, but when they have to move, they side-step together in a circle around the edges of the room at one point circumventing the entire space - which exposes their backsides/bloomers to the audience.

* In the ''Manga/Area88'' manga, Shin's injured legs and Mickey's injured hands force them to do this after [[MuggedForDisguise stealing a guard's uniform]] to escape the Mafia's desert carrier.



* Kid Trunks and Goten do this when disguised as "Mighty Mask" in ''Anime/DragonballZ''. The ruse falls apart when #18 catches on and kicks them hard enough that it appears Mighty Mask had been snapped in two.
* In ''Manga/HaventYouHeardImSakamoto'', Hayabusa asks Sakamoto to teach him how to be classy at a fancy restaurant. There's not enough time to teach him, so Sakamoto has him rent a giant tuxedo and both of them wear it to the restaurant, with Sakamoto using his arms to cut the food and pass it to Hayabusa's mouth. Later that night, they run into some thugs threatening Hayabusa's dad. Hayabusa, who doesn't want his dad to know he's a delinquent, switches places with Sakamoto inside the equally gigantic coat, with Sakamoto being the face and Hayabusa using his fists to fight off the thugs.



* In the second season of ''Manga/NodameCantabile'' (which takes place in Paris), Nodame and Kuroki end up playing the donkey in the nativity scene of a big church. They proceed to dance a japanese lion dance in honor of the baby Jesus.

** Boa Hancock smuggles Luffy to Impel Down under her dress. It IS suspicious, but she's able to turn anyone to stone at a whim, so no-one questions her. When she finally has to be subject to a strip search, she freezes the guard and Luffy keeps going along the rafters.
** Also, the [[MultipleHeadCase three-headed]] Judge Baskerville [[spoiler:is actually three men in a costume who enjoy pretending to be a three-headed person]].

* Quite a few of the quadrupedal Kaiju featured throughout the Franchise/UltraSeries are represented in this way; particularly prominent examples include [[https://ultra.fandom.com/wiki/Dodongo Dodongo]] in ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'', [[https://ultra.fandom.com/wiki/Paragon Paragon]] in ''Series/ReturnOfUltraman'', [[https://ultra.fandom.com/wiki/Brocken Brocken]] and [[https://ultra.fandom.com/wiki/Jumbo_King Jumbo King]] in ''Series/UltramanAce'' and [[https://ultra.fandom.com/wiki/Zog Zog]]'s final form in ''Series/UltramanGaia''. The exact configuration of these two-man suits has led to some interesting design choices, depending on whether the rear actor can move their arms freely, hence why Paragon and Brocken's suits have additional appendages on the front and back sections, respectively, as these are where the suit actor's arms would be placed. [[https://ultra.fandom.com/wiki/Pestar Pestar]], another monster introduced in the original ''Ultraman'' series, is a particularly interesting example of this trope, in that the two suit actors stand side-by-side rather than in single file, with the suit's head located in the middle, between their arms.
