This trope is for when someone tries to avoid embarrassment or judgement by pretending not to know a friend, relative, or other acquaintance, who's really in for it. For instance, maybe the character has done something stupid, illegal, or heinous, and the other character doesn't want to be associated with someone who did that for fear of being scorned. Or perhaps, one character is dorky, nutty, clumsy, stupid, evil, mean, or unpopular and the second character doesn't want to be associated with someone like that. Maybe they're in denial about liking the other person. Maybe they're just easily embarrassed (especially if they're a child or teen, and extra especially in regards to their parents). If the other character hears the person make Acquaintance Denial, expect them to be either offended or oblivious depending on their personality. It may lead to An Aesop about accepting people for who they are. Compare Friendship Denial (when a character acknowledges they know someone but refuses to consider them their friend) and I Have No Son! (when a character outright disowns a relative). Related to With Friends Like These..., Selective Obliviousness, and Loser Friend Puzzles Outsiders and sometimes overlaps with Suspiciously Specific Denial or Blatant Lies. May happen to try and defy Sins of Our Fathers. Subtrope of We Do Not Know Each Other. Often played for Cringe Comedy. |

A quick gag in Ranma ½ has Genma and Soun making fool of themselves on the street with their usual hammy antics, just as Nabiki, hanging out with some other girls from the school, is passing by. One of her friends asks her if that isn't her father, while Nabiki is ignoring them and pretends she'd never met them. | |

The Simpsons: "The Front" opens with Bart and Lisa watching Krusty's show and remarking on how he's trying to distance himself from his Jewish heritage. Then Homer runs in with a plunger stuck to his head and Bart and Lisa discuss what names they're going to take to distance themselves from him. "Fan-ily Feud" has Homer and Bart's experience at a baseball game ruined due to a grand gesture by the fans of the pop sensation Ashlee Starling, who Homer doesn't know and Bart explains in a hushed tone that she's "a whiny pop singer for whiny girls who love to whine". After Homer badmouths Ashlee in an interview with Kent Brockman using these exact words, Bart stiltedly denies ever meeting Homer and that he's a huge fan of Ashlee. The reason for this is that Ashlee's fan army is highly vindictive and Bart didn't want to risk making them mad like Homer just did. |

In the first Red Dwarf novel, Lister first meets Rimmer when the former is driving a (stolen) taxi cab and the latter hires the taxi to take him to an android brothel while (ineffectually) pretending to be a high-ranking officer. For various embarrassing reasons, when Lister is later "introduced" to Rimmer as his subordinate, Rimmer pretends not to know Lister. | |

1st Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide. Using your alignment language among strangers is considered "unmannerly, rude, boorish, and stupid."

Will & Grace: In "Will Works Out," Jack signs up for the gym where Will and Grace exercise. Will frequently uses his time at the gym to talk with clients, so when he sees the ultra-flamboyant Jack acting like his usual self, he pretends not to know him and later complains to Grace that he wishes Jack didn't act like "such a fag," which Jack inadvertently overhears. The next day, Jack tries to act more like a Straight Gay guy and challenges Will for being embarrassed at associating with gay people when he himself is gay; Will is forced to admit that Jack has a point and later introduces his latest client to Jack as a friend, also casually mentioning his own homosexuality in the process. | |

Rango: Played for laughs. When Ms. Beans finds Rango stranded in the middle of the desert and offers him a ride to the town of Dirt, she then asks him who is, which sends him into a long tirade of the many epithets he calls himself note "Rango" isn't his actual name and it's long after meeting Beans that he starts calling himself "Rango". She promptly drops him off outside of town to avoid being seen with him because of that, and a few other of his mannerisms that weirded her out a little, and when he later calls out to her just outside of the town's general goods store, the shopkeeper asks if she knows him, she sheepishly denies it. | |

The Bible: The Book of Matthew, chapter 26, verse 34 has Jesus predict that when the Romans come to arrest Him, His disciples will desert Him. Peter claims that he will not abandon Jesus, but is foretold: "Before the cock crows, you will deny me thrice." Indeed, when Jesus is arrested, some bystanders point out that Peter is a known associate of Jesus. Peter, not wanting to be manhandled by a vindictive mob, denies knowing Him. "I tell you, I do not know the man." After his third denial, a rooster crows, and Peter realizes how feckless he'd been. | |

Luca: Played for Drama. Luca and Alberto are both sea monsters, who can appear as humans when their skin is dry. When some humans who hate sea monsters see Alberto (in sea monster form), Luca (in human form) pretends to be scared of him and not know him so that the humans won't realise he's also a sea monster, which hurts Alberto's feelings. | |

House of Anubis: After a failed Twin Switch that culminated in both twins accidentally revealing themselves and humiliating a waiter, Mr. Sweet furiously states they both have some explaining to do. Patricia immediately claims that she has never seen Piper, her identical twin, before in her life. In a Funny Background Event, this was how Eddie was able to excitedly identify the ever-stubborn and sarcastic Patricia. | |
