* ''Series/HermansHead''. An actor is following Herman around at work so he can study his role for a movie. Herman gets annoyed at this so starts doing increasingly ridiculous things, ending with Herman holding a ballet pose in the middle of the office. Unfortunately his boss then enters the room and catches Herman at it (the actor having been smart enough to return to doing something innocuous).

* ''WesternAnimation/{{SpongeBob SquarePants}}'': Wanting to win an award like the many awards [=SpongeBob=] has, Patrick does it to [=SpongeBob=] in the episode "Big Pink Loser". The episode provides the page image. In this case, it's a case of GoneHorriblyRight, as [=SpongeBob=] told Patrick to do "exactly as I do". (In context, he was talking Patrick through opening a glass jar, but Patrick took it a bit ''too'' literally.)

That said, in horror, there is a niche for the game. The ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E10Midnight "Midnight"]] went down that road spectacularly. Compare CopycatMockery, BabySeeBabyDo, and IrritationIsTheSincerestFormOfFlattery.

* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''. In "Mystery Spot", Sam does this to Dean to prove they're in a GroundhogDayLoop, except he can do it simultaneously, being all too familiar with everything Dean is going to do and say.

* A pivotal scene in ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'' involves Kratos and Freya encountering The Norns, [[TheWeirdSisters an offbeat trio of goddesses]] with [[TheOmniscient the ability to fully predict fate and determine prophecy]]. The youngest of them, Skuld, demonstrates this by mimicking their visitors and reciting their lines at the exact moment they're about to say them, including the moment where Freya finally snaps in annoyance.
