Hugh Mann	comment	Someone or something decidedly alien is attempting to pass as human. But they do a terrible job of it; acting in an erratic manner, forgetting names, walking stiffly, and talking in an odd dialect. They might as well call themselves "Hugh Mann" and walk around with a name-tag reading "I'm Most Definitely Not A Space Alien" — it would make for about as convincing a disguise. Luckily for them, nobody notices at all. Or at least nobody anyone will listen to. Sometimes, it helps that the character that's being impersonated normally acts this way. Almost always Played for Laughs, and often results in characters Failing a Spot Check, Comically Missing the Point, or asking Did You Get a New Haircut? A Sub-Trope to Human Disguise. Compare Easy Impersonation for a non-fantastic variant of the trope. See also Clark Kenting and Paper-Thin Disguise. Compare Bad "Bad Acting", and Out-of-Character Alert. May overlap with They Look Like Us Now or Human Aliens for further laughs. Not to be confused with Hu Mons, which is about Mons that resemble human beings. Also not to be confused with Dr. Hugh Mann from Interstellar, who actually is a human as far as we know.

Hugh Mann / int_102732aa	comment	In The Secret Circle Melissa is possessed by a demon. Turns out, demons aren't very good actors. Apart from general weird and out-of-character behavior, when frustrated she broke into Evil Sounds Deep. Unusually for this trope their friend screaming at them in demon voice because they expressed reservations about her creepy plan was noticed, although the real giveaway was when the demonic snake crawled across her forehead under the skin.

Man, definitely has the name and the mannerisms down for this trope, but it's implied that he may just be eccentric. Certainly the Locked Files have implied that he's a real human who accidentally wandered into the Hospital and was recognized as staff simply by being a doctor by profession, but by his own admission even he isn't entirely sure he's really who he thinks he is. He still makes a passable(-ish) attempt to seem like one.

Hugh Mann / int_2675c915	comment	A rare nonhuman-impersonates-nonhuman example in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. The first half of the fifth season features the main cast trapped in a Bad Future where what's left of humanity is ruled over by the blue-skinned Kree. At the end of "Fun & Games", the team's synthetic alien ally, Enoch, projects a blue hue on his skin suit to pass off as a Kree to access an elevator to the surface of Earth and, when questioned by a real Kree who catches him who he is, answers stiffly, "I am a Kree, as I have always been, brother." The Kree buys it, only getting suspicious when he sees where Enoch intends to go.

Hugh Mann / int_34fd3cf6	comment	In Aqua Teen Hunger Force, a clone of Master Shake is created and sent by the Plutonians to impersonate him, but is horribly deformed, calls himself "Major Shake", and loves to give blood (whereas Master Shake thinks donating blood is part of a pyramid scheme run by Dracula and his night slaves). Frylock pretty much immediately figures out that "Major Shake" isn't really Shake, and hilarity ensues. The hilarious part is that "Major Shake" is a seemingly normal, decent, average person, whereas Master Shake is a sociopathic obnoxious Jerkass. Major Shake also looks like a slightly melted version of Master Shake, wearing red high-heeled shoes to make up for the height difference, and with a jambox melted into his side. And he doesn't actually have any mission or agenda, and is rather confused about what the heck the Plutonians are hoping to accomplish. Also Frylock, after he murdered Ray (the boyfriend of a girl he liked) and grafted his exploded body parts onto himself in a horrifying mashup with an exposed brain covered with a big novelty cowboy hat. It's every bit as disturbing as it is unconvincing.

One major exception is the group of beings that the mercenary wizard Binder has bound to his will. In the few times that they've shown up, they've been described as wearing identical grey suits and with identical features, down to the eyes. Good enough to fool a casual observer, but the moment you get a closer look at them, they immediately seem off. They also don't speak or interact with other people unless given an order and will swarm an enemy without a care in the world due to a complete lack of self-preservation.

In one ad, he makes statements like "I am sitting near fire. Willingly.", and introduces his wife, a golden retriever. In another, he partakes in the all-American activity of eating corn dogs, first by sticking his hand into a deep fryer to retrieve one, and then "eating" it via the magic of visual effects: the camera stops for a moment, a bite disappears, and he pretends to chew, before going for another "bite".

If the dead facial expression and missing arms and feet weren't a tip-off, she's wired into giant, pulsating tentacles and winged appendages. But hey, if a mad scientist says she's your mother, who are you to question? Jenova proves itself quite capable of re-creating clothing (right down to Sephiroth's trenchcoat and masamune sword), so the fact that it starts out looking like a gnarled, naked woman suggests "she" abandoned all disguise once the Cetra overpowered her. When the team sneaks aboard a Shinra ship disguised as Shinra soldiers, Red XIII, a red wolf-like creature, clearly has trouble standing on two legs and doesn't bother to cover his tail.

However, they can apparently fool civilians, considering that they frequently show up unannounced on specific rescue missions.

A commando droid pretends to be a clone to try and get Rex and Cody to leave without a fight, but speaks with sort of a stilted rhythm, gesticulates wildly... and ultimately gives itself away with "Roger, roger". When a droid attack flare is fired by the real clones nearby, Rex immediately puts a bolt through the "trooper's" head and, at Cody's shocked reaction, takes off the helmet to reveal the droid. Note must also be made of the droid who first responded to Cody and Rex announcing their impending arrival for a routine inspection, attempting to get them to leave and succeeding only in making them extremely suspicious of what was going on down there. Especially since it also signed off with "Roger roger". Hilariously inverted when Rex retakes the base by ending his sentences with "Roger, roger" and fooling the droids into thinking he's one of them. In addition, he's wearing his own custom armour, which the droids never seem to notice.

He demands your surrender in the name of the United Steaks of America, or whatever it's called. The strangeness of a plane that turns into a tank is somewhat mitigated by the canonical existence of M.A.S.K. in the setting, which allows the concept of 'vehicle that turns into another vehicle' to exist.

This is partly justified in that this is only the SGC's first year of operation and they believed at this time that the Goa'uld could only enter through the back of the neck, leaving a distinctive scar, rather than entering through the mouth and throat; this event prompts the SGC to start using MRIs after gate travel to confirm that nobody has been taken as a host while off-world. In another episode, Colonel O'Neill is duplicated by a crystal entity, and everyone, even his ex-wife, thinks the entity is him even though he speaks very haltingly and suddenly acts like he's once again depressed about his son's pre-show pre-movie death.

Hugh Mann / int_7832b74c	comment	Steven Universe: When Connie's parents insist on meeting Steven's for dinner in "Fusion Cuisine", Steven and Connie are concerned they'll react poorly to learning about her adventures with him and the Crystal Gems. They decide to make his family seem as normal and mundane as possible by having one of the Crystal Gems pretend to be his human mother. Problem is, the Crystal Gems all crash headfirst into this trope, each in their own special way: Amethyst knows how to act human, but that doesn't count for much when she has purple skin. She's also very immature and young in comparison to the others (she looks only slightly older than Steven), which would obviously make it really weird to have her acting like she's Greg's wife. That's not getting into her total lack of table manners and Extreme Omnivore tendencies. Garnet is disqualified from the start simply because she's an extremely Bad Liar and can't fake emotion to save her life. There's also the minor detail of her being nearly eight feet tall, towering over any normal human. Pearl should be a perfect candidate; she not only looks human but is unfailingly polite and formal, meaning she'd hit it off great with Connie's parents... if not for the fact that she is absolutely revolted by the concept of eating food. Kind of an issue considering this is supposed to be a dinner date. She also can't even pretend to find Greg attractive. After exhausting their options, Steven has a rather dramatic lapse in judgement and decides the solution is to have the Crystal Gems fuse, figuring their combined form, Alexandrite, will have all their best traits and be able to convincingly fake being human. He is instantly proven wrong when Alexandrite turns out to be a gigantic, firebreathing, and multi-armed Humanoid Abomination who speaks with the Voice of the Legion (not to mention the fact that she talks to, and has arguments with, herself due to being a Mind Hive). Not that it matters, as Connie's parents don't even question that this horrifying alien monster is Steven's mom and Greg's wife. It is around this time that Steven realizes they could've dodged the whole issue by just informing Connie's parents that Greg is a widower.

In one memorable mess, Jake is taken over by a Yeerk (that gets access to his memories) and it plays the part almost perfectly. When his own teammates realize this, they tie him up in the woods until that alien dies of hunger — then have another alien (who doesn't have access to his memories) play the role of Jake badly, while all this is going on... to his own family's shock. This is something of a running gag for Ax whenever he's in his human form, particularly about food. Due to his lack of taste in his natural state, this boy enjoys eating cigarette butts and other strange stuff... and cinnamon buns (who would blame him? Cinnabons). At one point, Ax gets asked about where he's from. After his first response ("I am from the Republic of Ivory Coast") doesn't work, Ax just lists off a bunch of World Almanac countries — until finally hearing a suggestion of Canada... at which Ax now promptly notes "I am from Canada. I am Canadese," as his reply. Fortunately, the group eventually get access to the Chee, who at least understand not to eat cigarette butts... they do, however, clean Marco's room with pleasure, which is probably just as weird for him. The act irritates Marco to no end, at any rate — and almost blew their cover, as the now very clean room confused the hell out of Marco's father!

Billy still has a goat's brain, so he continues to act like one, such as leaping over furniture rather than walking around it, and eating inedible materials, much to Lamia's frustration when she's trying to maintain appearances and keep Yvaine from realizing something's off.

Hugh Mann / int_b4fe32c9	comment	Zim from Invader Zim is... not a very convincing human, to say the least. Luckily, Earth is filled with morons and apathetic people who won't listen to Dib. The reason that no one believes Dib is the fact that he has a history of doing things like this and people think he is crazy. The only other human to catch on is Dib's sister, who recognizes Zim as far too incompetent to have much chance of success and so doesn't give a damn. Later on, Zim is abducted by some other aliens who have even less convincing human disguises than himself, and are absolutely convinced Zim is human regardless of what Zim tries to tell them.

Hugh Mann / int_b8e28f2e	comment	In Good Omens (2019), when angels Gabriel and Sandalphon enter Aziraphale's book store, they try to get the latter to speak with them privately, but they do so "inconspicuously" since there are mortals around. So they loudly express their desire to buy pornography (while Gabriel holds a thick tome on household management) and ask to discuss the purchase in private. Gabriel didn't help his case by not bothering to check what it is Aziraphale sells. In the Russian dub, the word "humans" is replaced with "mortals" since in Russian the same word is used for "humans" and "people", and "We people are extremely easily embarrassed" doesn't sound as odd. In season 2, Muriel very much falls into this trope, as well. They constantly insist that they are a â€œNormal Human Police Officer,â€� despite their disguise being an obviously out-of-place, entirely-blindingly-white constable uniform that doesnâ€™t even match the style of modern day police uniforms. They clearly have no idea how to act like a human, either, as they are constantly asking others how a â€œnormal humanâ€� would respond to things- even something as simple as being offered a cup of tea.

Hugh Mann / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: "Rose": Mickey is swallowed by a trash can and replaced by an Auton duplicate. Despite the fact that he looks like a mannequin, his hair is an obvious wig, his skin is waxy, he can't drive, and he suddenly stammers like a skipping record on words of endearment, Rose doesn't realize what's going on until the Doctor shoots a champagne cork through his head. Sure, she's never been very observant when it comes to Mickey, but come on... "The Sound of Drums": The Master gets himself elected Prime Minister of Great Britain using his Archangel network. He also goes out of his way to create a fictional backstory for himself, with pictures and everything. At the same time, he makes it blatantly obvious he only appeared out of nowhere eighteen months ago when he first launched Archangel. All the obviously photoshopped pictures of him as a University student don't look any younger than his current appearance, and he has no paper trail despite getting a first at Oxford and being a former rugby champion. Then he deliberately became one of the most visible people in the world by founding his own political party, leading it to an electoral landslide and becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain, to put the eyes of the world on him when he brings the Toclafane in. Thanks to the Archangel network, he's got the populace under subtle mind control that prevents anyone looking too closely...well, 98% to 99% at most, and being able to fool a planet full of stupid humans without even trying probably appealed to the troll in him. The few who aren't mesmerized by Archangel note how obvious the Master's forgery is. "The Sontaran Stratagem"/"The Poison Sky": The Sontarans capture Martha and replace her with a clone. The Doctor figures out right away she's a clone but pretends not to notice her obvious out-of-character behaviour (such as showing no concern for her family being in danger) because he doesn't want UNIT launching missiles at the Sontarans' ships, the very job the Sontarans themselves are tasking the clone with. He only drops the act after he tricks the clone into taking him to the chamber where the real Martha is being held captive, and the clone subsequently attempts to betray him. The Doctor himself occasionally has trouble when he has to pretend to be a normal human. In "Smith & Jones", he nearly gets in trouble posing as a hospital patient when Martha is taking his heart rate because of his binary vascular system. And Amy thinks he doesn't stand a chance in "The Lodger" because the most normal thing about him is his bowtie, and Clara is amazed that he fools anyone in "The Caretaker".

Hugh Mann / int_d7765410	comment	The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has a few borderline cases. Ford Prefect and Zaphod Beeblebrox both visit Earth without attracting too much attention, despite the former's badly chosen fake name and Zaphod not even trying to hide he's from space; of course, they're both basically human-looking, with just a few subtle (or not; see below) oddities. Later on, the mice offer to replace Arthur's brain with a computer, and Zaphod jokingly suggests that it would only need to be able to say "What?", "I don't understand" and "Where's the tea?" and no one would notice any difference. It doesn't exactly help that Arthur blurts out "What?" on this suggestion. In the game (and in the book Mostly Harmless), it is revealed that the two-headed Zaphod went to a costume party on Earth dressed as a pirate. He put a birdcage over the second head and covered it with a cloth. The head in the cage said "Pretty Polly" every now and again.

Hugh Mann / int_f691fa67	comment	Played for laughs in Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft with "Convincing Infiltrator" minion, who's a N'raqi - a race of shapeshifters - in little more than a robe and wooden mask. The fact it has Taunt may be telling of how actually convincing its disguise is.

Hugh Mann / int_f8df4747	comment	The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: When using their holomatter avatars for the first time, the Lost Light members also get fake human identities. The few we get to know are all of this kind: Rewind is "Joe Human", Swerve is "Mr. Person", Rung is "Mary Sue" and Skids gets a blank card (which actually makes sense as his avatar is designed after the Eleventh Doctor from Doctor Who). These are, unfortunately, somehow better than the ones that the Scavengers came up with, who while having passable human names (Dennis Taylor and Alex Higgins), "Dennis" is an gigantic woman, who, because Spinister is too stupid to come up with an actual human face under her helmet, simply has another helmet under it. Meanwhile, Misfire's avatar has what can best be described as having a tiny, one-eyed face in the middle of his head. And pink skin. Made worse by the fact that both of their masks are incredibly blatant Decepticon symbols.

Hugh Mann / int_fa72ba3d	comment	The alien in "The Whisperer in Darkness" manages to fool the protagonist until the end, but it's pretty conspicuous that the human it's pretending to be has fallen so ill he can't move around and at the same time speaks in a weird voice. Apparently, the aliens just removed the human's face and hands and used them as the disguise. All that said, it does act the part as well as it can in the circumstances — it's clearly very intelligent.

Hugh Mann / int_fcf0b6c3	comment	Inverted on Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers where humans on Tortuna usually have to pass themselves off as some other alien species, like Lumwumps or Zanguils, as any human caught on Tortuna gets sent to the Queen and has their soul ripped out.

Hugh Mann / int_fdbace96	comment	In the first episode of Gravity Falls, "Tourist Trapped", Mabel meets a new boyfriend who calls himself "Normal Man" — Mabel presumes he meant Norman — who acts very off. Dipper can clearly see the ruse and tries to prove he's really a zombie. It turns out that he's actually a bunch of gnomes.
