TRS decided to make it In-Universe. That picture is not something from a show. I would pull it, but I want to be sure first.

Motion to pull

Agree

Seconding pull as not an example, misleading about what the trope is.

I'll pull the pic shortly, but I wanted to post this. Here and here are pics of Kiera Knightley posing as Queen Amidala from The Phantom Menace, with Natalie Portman in plainclothes (so to speak) beside her.

Alternately, here's a comparison I made of the two in Amidala's fancy clothes and makeup.

Pulled.

On the left, Zooey Deschanel. On the right, Katy Perry. Or Zooey's right and Katy's left.

I wonder what it would take to turn this room into an aquarium.

[up] The Kiera/Natalie comparison works for both, and I wouldn't mind having the same example on both pages provided the pics are different.

This would require some kind of dialog where people are clearly stating someone looks like a celebrity.

An image from the filmed version of Arsenic And Old Lace would work well, I think - wherein Jonathan Brewster's new face is frequently compared to Boris Karloff (and is made up to look decently like him), to his violent annoyance, when he's actually played by Raymond Massey.

How about Michale J Fox and Scott Wolf. Made even funnier that their last names are canines.

[up]Are your forgetting that this is In-Universe now?

Wait, if the trope is only In-Universe examples, then doesn't that mean there can't be any Real Life examples unless they're explicitly pointed out in one series alone?

Most of the examples only make comparisons to two people who are completely unrelated. The Auction Hunters example listed would count because they compare one guy who ended up being their main competition for that episode to George W. Bush though.

The page looks like it's gonna need to shave off the majority of what very few examples are listed on the page before we find a suitable image.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No further action is to be taken based on this thread.
