In fiction (comedic works especially), if a character is told to "act natural" to avoid drawing attention to what is supposed to be a covert task, there's a good chance they'll overdo it. Common flubs include reading a book upside down or Not So Innocent Whistling. May be related to the Centipede's Dilemma, where a conscious attempt to do something is inexplicably harder than doing it unconsciously. Unrelated to Not Himself. |

Adventure Time: Finn indulges in a bit of this in the episode "Storytelling". His efforts at playing it cool in "Slumber Party Panic" are also very, very awkward and unconvincing. |

The Amazing Maurice: As they head towards the Rat Catchers guild, Maurice and Keith walk casually down the middle of the street and nobody gives them a second glance. Malicia, on the other hand, is dressed in a Spy Catsuit and darts from doorway to doorway, hides behind pillars in broad daylight, and generally does everything she can to make it obvious that she is being deliberately stealthy, and draws the attention of everybody she passes. | |

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Simmons makes a hilariously bad attempt to act casual (coached by Skye through an earpiece) when Agent Sitwell catches her attempting to access a computer terminal without authorisation in "The Hub". After first claiming to be looking for the bathroom only to be told that she is staring at a wall panel, she then attempts to compliment his head. It gets so bad that Skye has to tell her to stop talking. In "T.R.A.C.K.S.", she insists that the problem is that she's horrible at improv, and concocts an entire fake backstory for herself and Coulson when they're undercover as father and daughter. Not only does she fail to tell Coulson any of this, but she shouts out far too much detail to random passers-by. |

Full House did this in "Little Shop of Sweaters": D.J and Stephanie were entering a store at the mall to return a royal blue sweater Stephanie accidentally shoplifted (she thought it was credit, as evidenced by the "Buy Now, Pay Later" sign, not knowing it required a credit card). D.J. tells Stephanie to act casual, to which she begins strutting leisurely while humming. D.J. then tells Stephanie to "just act regular," to which she does, until the stolen sweater sets off the door alarm. | |

Miraculous Ladybug: In "Stormy Weather", Marinette's attempt at walking next to Adrien as if they "just happened to be passing by" is anything but casual. In "Antibug", Marinette does this as she enters a hotel and sneaks into a kitchen to get cookies for Tikki. In "Troublemaker", Marinette's idea of laying low involves tiptoeing sneakily while crossing the road. |

Cool Kids Table: In the game Bloody Mooney, when Jess realizes that the unmarked van is following her and JT and tells him to look, he does a sweet dance move to keep it from looking too obvious. It works. In Sequinox, this happens to Chell when she feels anxious, because she's usually super-chill and doesn't normally feel anxiety. She needs Yuki to calm her down. |

Rescue 911: Discussed by a police officer in "911 He's Not an Officer", during his recollection of picking up a particular suspect. The officer says that when he pulls his vehicle up behind or next to a walking suspect and gently guns the engine, then they'll move to the side to get out of the way if they're innocent. If they're not innocent, then they'll keep on walking in an unnatural gait to try and get away without running or looking too guilty (doing what the officer calls a "penguin walk"). | |

Hermione from the Harry Potter series does this several times. In Prisoner of Azkaban, Hermione tries acting naturally after having caused some trouble for Ron and Harry... except she's reading her book upside down. The same thing happens in the Half-Blood Prince when she has to act casually in Borgin & Burkes and gets noticed immediately. |

In a Calvin and Hobbes story arc, Calvin attempts to fix a "leaky" faucet in the bathroom, only to remove the faucet without turning off the water valve first, inevitably flooding the bathroom. While trying to get buckets for the mess, he attempts to make it sound as casual and nonchalant to his parents as possible. Naturally, it doesn't work. | |

Discworld: Lampshaded by the narrator of Small Gods: "Urn and Fergmen walked nonchalantly through the tunnels of the Citadel, using the kind of nonchalant walk which, had there been anyone to take an interest in it, would have draw detailed and arrow-sharp attention to them within seconds." Done tongue-in-cheek in Monstrous Regiment. Polly and her friend Shufti (Betty) have to sneak into a fortress as washerwomen, but being Sweet Polly Olivers don't have any women's clothing. Their sergeant brings them to a battlefield brothel to steal some dresses with the cover story that they're there to have men made out of them, and tells them to "act natural". Being terrified is natural for a boy in such a situation. |

Family Guy Presents: Laugh It Up, Fuzzball: Peter-as-Han cautions Chris-as-Luke to "play it cool" when they're sneaking off to rescue Lois-as-Leia. This apparently entails slouching along jazzily to the strains of Cab Calloway's "Minnie the Moocher". In reference to the above Return of the Jedi quote, when Han tells Chewy to "fly casual," the shuttle proceeds to spontaneously starts walking with its "arms" on its "waist" and whistling. |

Subverted in The Dick Van Dyke Show. Alan Brady orders Rob and Laura to hold a party at their house for a documentary about him. Rob instructs the partygoers not to go crazy, and to treat Alan like one of their circle of friends. They do so comically: when Alan enters the front door, everyone turns, waves "hi" quickly, then turns back to their business. In unison! Alan insists on reshooting his entrance, they do it again, and Alan is furious. Not because everyone is unconvincing, but because they are NOT fawning over him. He's a big star! Why would he want to show people treating him like some ordinary shlub? They shoot it again, and this time everyone rushes to greet him. | |

In Ingrid Goes West, Ingrid's first attempt to meet her online idol in person results in her knocking over three magazines while trying to blend in. After spending a good fifteen-seconds fumbling over the floor trying to put everything back up, Ingrid decides to leave before her idol notices her, only to accidentally set off an alarm by leaving the store with a magazine in hand. | |

In Turning Red, Mei attempts to casually lie on her bed and not draw attention to the fact that she left a notebook full of her embarrassing drawings on the floor when her mother comes to her room. Her Overly-Nervous Flop Sweat and twitchy eyes alert her mother that something is wrong and one quick glance downward by Mei is all it takes for her mother to notice the notebook. | |

Yumi and the Nightmare Painter: Design's idea of acting natural after noticing Nikaro's spirit outside his body and striking up a conversation is to say loudly that there are no invisible ghosts in her restaurant.

The Art of the Steal: When Francie has to drive across the border with Crunch, Nicky and the stolen book hidden in the boot of his car, he is supposed to say two lines to the border guard: "Going to Detroit" and "Nothing to declare". However, his nervousness causes him to behave so oddly that the guard start asking him questions, and he then starts going off on all kinds of bizarre tangents, like claiming to be in a play called Witness!: The Musical and declaring that he likes Predator 2. | |

Done tongue-in-cheek in Monstrous Regiment. Polly and her friend Shufti (Betty) have to sneak into a fortress as washerwomen, but being Sweet Polly Olivers don't have any women's clothing. Their sergeant brings them to a battlefield brothel to steal some dresses with the cover story that they're there to have men made out of them, and tells them to "act natural". Being terrified is natural for a boy in such a situation. | |

Gintama: Parodied in Episode 166, when Hijikata tails a fugitive while both his hands are handcuffed to Gintoki's thanks to Okita's personal amusement. When the fugitive goes in a restaurant, Hijikata instructs Gintoki to act natural as they enter. Cue Gilligan Cut of the two of them walking into the place with a rose in Gintoki's mouth while holding and moving each other in tango-like dance movements. Apparently Gintoki's idea of acting natural is to pretend the two of them have the natural tendency to dance thanks to their parents being dancers. Hijikata is unconvinced and annoyed by this nonsensical backstory and decision-making. While the fugitive doesn't catch wind of them, all the onlookers are confused. | |

Jumanji: The Next Level: When Ming and Finbar go off to steal camels at the Oasis, they leave Bravestone (currently the avatar of Grandpa Eddie) to keep watch and tell him not to draw attention. He stands in the middle of the square looking awkward. When two locals walk by—not paying him any attention—he calls out "Nothing to see here! Keep moving!". This, naturally, attracts their attention, and the situation soon devolves into a brawl that draws in most of the population of the Oasis. | |

Callum has a gift for this in The Dragon Prince. The more determined he is to pretend that everything is all right, the more overtly terrified he looks. In "Bloodthirsty", for example, he attempts to warn Rayla that they have company, in the form of an actual company of soldiers led by his Cool Aunt, by putting just a bit too much emphasis on the words "human troops". | |

He walks past the house thirty-five times, attracting the attention of Laurie's siblings, and at one point walks into a kid because he isn't watching where he's going. | |

One sequence in Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love has you tracking a mafiosi through New York along with one of the girls. At one point, the mafiosi's bodyguard gets suspicious and hangs back to check on you. You can choose to 'Act Natural' and deflect attention... or you can deliberately act outrageously suspicious, which works even better, and makes the girl impressed by your deception. | |

In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Snake at various points of the game must disguise himself as a scientist, mechanic, and enemy officer to enter various heavily-guarded places. He always looks the part but makes no effort to act it, resulting in a "scientist" who walks around, half-crouched, in a sneaky soft-footed way. As a scientist or mechanic it will fool the soldiers but not fellow scientists or mechanics, as they will call you out and sound an alarm unless you do something to act like them like adjusting your glasses. As the officer you can do anything, and we mean anything, you want, even haul off and punch other soldiers, and nobody will dare say a word... because the particular officer you are dressed as happens to be Volgin's lover who gets the full Dungeon Masters Girlfriend treatment and can do whatever he wants. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants Exaggerated in the episode "Life of Crime" SpongeBob and Patrick are panicking because (they think) they stole a balloon. SpongeBob advises, "Act normal," and, whether out of nerves or sheer stupidity, both of them start gibbering and acting crazy. They are immediately surrounded by a crowd who mistake them for street performers. In the episode "Boating School", when SpongeBob is asked to act natural, he gets on all fours and starts grazing like a cow. In another, he hides from a bully in a toilet. Spongebob tries to "act natural" when someone is stepping into the stall, becoming a live-action sponge floating in the bowl. In yet another, both him and Patrick end up tensing up and greeting people in a robotic way, using “natural� as a prefix to all their sentences. |

The SSR agents who clear out the automat in "A Sin To Err" continue to act like customers, perusing the menu and sitting down, even though the suddenly near-empty restaurant is a huge tip-off that something's about to happen. |

Eventually, a fight breaks out over it, but everyone tries to "act natural" when Asterix starts approaching. The villagers stop fighting, but stay in the same big pile, which confuses Asterix further, because the villagers are more likely to be seen fighting than they are relaxing. | |

Dragon Ball Z: Frog Ginyu trying to steal one of the Dragon Balls. When Gohan spots him, he starts leaning against the ball and whistling nonchalantly, which only makes him more suspicious because he's a frog. When Gohan first enters high school, he tries to pass himself off as an Ordinary High-School Student instead of the inhumanly strong Half-Human Hybrid he is. Realizing that even his baseline strength is a bit too much for a high-school baseball game, he decides that the best solution is to simply to do absolutely nothing when up to bat, not even ducking or flinching when Sharpner pitches the ball directly at his face to scare him. He then casually points out that getting hit by a pitch means he gets a walk and jogs to first base, completely oblivious to all the shocked stares he's getting from his P.E. teacher and classmates. |

In Frasier, Frasier and his family are encouraged to do this by Martin after they accidentally cross the Canadian border, unaware that Daphne's work permit forbids her from leaving the country, and must pass through customs before re-entering. This eventually involves Frasier babbling his head off whenever the customs officer asks him a question, Niles buttoning up entirely, and Daphne saying the only thing she can say in a vaguely convincing American accent, which happens to be the word "Sure!" Martin, who actually does manage to act naturally, is not greatly impressed. | |
