History PaperThinDisguise / WesternAnimation

* Chat Noir and Ladybug in ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' have disguises that constitute a superhero outfit and a small DominoMask that covers the area surrounding their eyes. Nevertheless, it manages to fool everyone in town and hide their identities -- even from each other despite also knowing each other as Adrien and Marinette. It was finally explained in the New York special that their transformations apply some sort of {{Glamour}} to prevent people from recognizing them. However, it ''only'' works on humans. The robotic superhero Uncanny Valley was easily able to recognize them out of costume.

* WesternAnimation/TheBeatles are aboard an ocean liner in "I Want to Hold Your Hand" being chased by hysterical fangirls. They're on the shuffleboard deck in flimsy disguises of berets, sunglasses and fake beard whiskers. It has the gorls fooled until Ringo's disguise falls off.

** In the third episode of ''Franchise/TransformersGeneration1'', the Autobots decide to set up an ambush for the Decepticons. Hound uses his holographic projector to make a fake "rocket base" and the Autobots will be in it, under disguise, to attack the Decepticons when they show up to raid the base. What disguise do the Autobots go for? If you guessed "Disguised in their car mode in the base parking lot", congratulations, you're smarter than an Autobot. They decide to don ''labcoats'' and pass for the human scientists. Despite the fact that even the smallest of them is twice as tall as a human and about 3 times as wide.

** In "The Mentor of our Discontent", Shego donned a wig and a dress to pull off a ShowSomeLeg distraction on a guy she'd previously tried to hold for ransom. She succeeded despite doing nothing about her ''green skin''. Even after the wig fell off, the guy still [[EvilIsSexy wanted to date her]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'':

-->'''Scaramantula:''' As do we all, my thoroughly Japanese friend who is easily, ''easily'' 6'2".\\

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|1987}}''

* "You look familiar", says Jinx to Cyborg in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''. Could the young villainess only see past her nemesis' cunning disguise as ''himself'' (without cybernetics), she'd undoubtedly fry his wirings on the spot and spare herself a broken heart.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', the original Dr. Venture infiltrates a Super VillainTeamUp dedicated to killing him (who have also kidnapped his son) by pretending to be a Japanese super villain (from the village of Japaninawa). This is done by wearing a wig, fake mustache, a fake nipple on his chin and by pulling his eyes ''with his fingers'' so they appear slanted. He makes no attempt to hide his voice or even employ a fake accent. And his cover name, "Dr. Fandragon", is clearly composed of the only two Asian things he could think of. The weaknesses of his costume are all lampshaded by the head villain, who seems to get that 'Dr. Fandragon' isn't really Asian but not that he's Dr. Venture specifically.

** This is based, as also noted on the commentary, directly on Film/JamesBond's nearly identical disguise in ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice''. The supernumerary nipple is based on Bond's attempt to disguise himself as Francisco Scaramanga, ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun''.
*** Also, Hank's disguise as "Russian Guyovitch", a fake goatee and an outdated Monarch minion costume. Both Sgt. Hatred and Brock are fooled.

*** Rarity's disguise of a backwards baseball cap, messy mane, and casual attire isn't much better.

* ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead''

** Jacques LaLean once posed as an ordinary living human, despite being a skeleton with no mask. To be fair, the only person he had to fool was [[TheDitz Delia Deetz]].

** In the 2006 revival, the episode "It's The Pits" has Dr. Karbunkle wear a fake beard while luring the Biker Mice into the Pit Boss's lair. Throttle, Modo, and Vinnie find him familiar, but he unconvincingly insists that he isn't who they think he is.

** "Vincent Adultman", who is very obviously [[TotemPoleTrench a group of children stacked together under a trench coat]]. In spite of this, [=BoJack=] is the only person who sees through the disguise ([[AlternateCharacterInterpretation or is willing to]]); Princess Carolyn even enters into a relationship with Vincent, believing him the successful manager of [[BlatantLies a business factory]].
