The impersonation equivalent of Paper-Thin Disguise. A character is put into a position (for whatever reason) where they must impersonate someone or pretend to be a member of a particular group. The character, instead of simply acting like an X, attempts to do this by constantly announcing they are an X, that they're doing things because that's what an X does, and there is not the slightest chance that they could ever not be an X. Did they mention they're an X? In short, there is no way anyone with two functional neurons wouldn't smell that something is up.
This sort of behavior almost always indicates that the Rule of Funny is in full effect, so its effectiveness as a disguise depends on whether it would be funnier for the impostor to get caught, or not. If it's funnier for everyone around him to completely fail to see through the ruse — even though the impersonate-ee is someone they've known for years — then that's what's going to happen. At best the Only Sane Man might point out that their friend is acting a little odd, but everyone else will just brush it off as him suffering from stress, fever, or relationship issues.
Note however that, contrary to what the name of the trope could lead to believe, this trope isn't limited to villains. Any character doing a terrible impersonation will qualify.
Compare Paper-Thin Disguise, Master of Delusion, Clark Kenting, Blatant Lies, Hugh Mann, Louis Cypher, and Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today? Kind of a subtrope of Bad "Bad Acting", although it isn't deliberate. Tends to fuse with Suspiciously Specific Denial. Often happens during a case of Impersonating the Evil Twin. Contrast with Have I Mentioned I Am a Dwarf Today?
Named for a recurring line in the Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series spinoff Cr@psule Monsters; "My name is Dr. Alex Brisbane. I'm definitely not a villain."
If you're looking for a similarly named webcomic (which is not an example of this trope), see Not a Villain.

Thud! features a short appearance by John "Most Definitely Not A Vampire" Smith, the representative and local leader of the Black Ribboners in Ankh-Morpork. Vimes makes several references to his less-than-successful attempts to pass himself off as more human, including wearing hideous knit woolen sweaters instead of evening wear, overemphasizing Ws in his speech, smoking pipes (despite not breathing) and collecting bananas for a hobby. Then there's Doreen Winkings of the same group, who tries far too hard to act like a vampire even though she isn't one.

Angel:
A certain amount of Fridge Logic applies to the beginning of the first season, in which Doyle's Irish-ness is a major part of his character, and yet Angel steadfastly retains his assumed California accent, and never so much as acknowledges that he is, in fact, Irish as well. This may be a mercy, since the flashbacks to the life of 'Liam' prove that David Boreanaz cannot fake accents at all.
Played with in the episode "Guise Will Be Guise", in which Wesley finds it necessary to impersonate Angel. When his cover is blown, he tries horribly to keep up the facade.

The Simpsons:
Bart barely convinces a group of children from Shelbyville that he is one of them. "No, not in my mouth! ...Uh, is what that kid would say." To be fair they don't have a clue who he is even after his reveal.
In a Halloween Episode, Homer suffered an accident and Moe took advantage to trick Marge into thinking Homer left her. To further convince her, Moe gave her a letter saying it was written by Homer using his(Moe's) calligraphy. The letter was a forged (and exaggerated) confession of homosexuality.
In Cape Feare, Lisa's letter from her pen pal Anya is read in voiceover:
One episode has Mr. Burns poorly masquerading as a different character (all he does is wear a fake mustache) named "Mr. Snrub" in order to convince the townspeople to invest a newly-acquired large sum of money (which they got from a fine handed to Burns) into Burns' power plant.
Another has him putting on Jimbo Jones' clothes to try and convince Skinner to give the oil well to Burns. Skinner easily sees through Burns' pitiful attempt to pass as a teenager.

In one episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Splinter and Shredder's minds are accidentally swapped. Splinter manages to bluff his way through, after almost being found out when he doesn't sufficiently insult and belittle Shredder's two idiot minions Rock Steady and Be-Bop. Shredder, on the other hand, has far less success.

A Hero has Dalek Sec, who inverts this by proudly proclaiming that he is, in fact "AN IM-PE-RIAL-IS-TIC SPA-CE NA-ZI" to anyone who cares to ask. This, combined with the fact that, for all their fearsome firepower, Daleks naturally look ridiculous, has lead people to believe that he's just a crazy guy in a suit.

Borderlands 2 gives us Mal, who pulls a Pinocchio essentially through this trope.
"I am human. I eat food, and desire things."
Additionally, his side quest has him experiment with various ways to be human, including wearing clothes and having limbs, each segment ending in this trope. Though eventually, he learns that the true meaning of humanity doesn't lie in physical possessions or attributes, but in trying to kill other humans, specifically the player character. Duh.

Golden Freddy in Five Nights at Freddy's: The Stories, as once he was taken back to 1987 (as well as possessing his 1987 body) by the present day Toy Chica (as well as the future Scraptrap), he is forced to pretend to revert back to his evil ways once Puppet, Withered Foxy, and Toy Freddy show up... which doesn't work out so well... The bear's act is so bad that the three see through him almost instantly after he accidentally spoils the future.

In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations, Furio Tigre's impersonation of Phoenix consists of having spiky hair and declaring himself to be Phoenix Wright. Despite his otherwise completely different appearance, his noticeable accent, and his wearing a fake attorney's badge made of cardboard, he fools an entire courtroom, including a judge, prosecutor, detective, and defendant who are all familiar with Phoenix (Godot easily saw through him, though. He just felt like screwing with Phoenix). Phoenix himself is, of course, not amused. There's a possible Lampshade Hanging on this, after hearing the excuses Tigre gave to Maggey ("He said he took a trip to Hawaii"):

In Super Paper Mario, Merlon and Merlee both show up in Castle Bleck at different times, despite the fact that the last time you saw either of them, they were in a different dimension and had no apparent method or reason to go to where you found them.

In Final Fantasy XIV, All Saint's Wake is a time of celebration in frightening costumes. Every year, the Continental Circus comes to town, claiming to be helping the festivities and providing performances like no other. In truth, the members of the circus are all imps and their "celebrations" are rituals meant to open a stable portal into the void to cause the Night of Devilry. The Circus members are not very good at hiding their true natures, often letting out Freudian Slips and badly trying to course correct. The Adventurer's Guild is well aware of their nefarious nature and send representatives to spy on and sabotage their efforts. When their plan is foiled every year, they still have to put on a show for the audience to avoid outright hostility.

The pilot for The Muppet Show, "Sax and Violence", featured a short called "Planet of the Pigs" where a human space explorer had to pretend to be a pig on a planet run by them. With a fake snout and ears on he says "Oink, oink! As we pigs say." (Interestingly, Henson used the voice he would later use for Link Hogthrob.)

An episode of Ben 10: Alien Force features an alien with a copied Omnitrix stuck in Ben's form. When he first attempts to pass himself off as the real Ben, he says stuff like "Yes, it is I, Ben Tennyson. Escort me, Ben 10, to my domicile."
Ben himself ends up acting like this in the series premiere — his idea of acting like a DNAlien is to try and make small talk with the others, who don't usually speak English. It's probably a minor miracle that he wasn't discovered.

Subverted in an episode of Out of Jimmy's Head. When Sonny unveils his Jimbotron, a robot double of the protagonist Jimmy, it looks like a sub-B-grade science fiction movie robot with an unconvincing wig and one of Jimmy's shirts, which barely fits it. Sonny also has it say things like "If I'm not Jimmy, why would I steal one of his shirts?" It spectacularly fails to fool anyone except Jimmy's idiot father, and even he had to be missing his contacts.

In Thief: Deadly Shadows, Garrett has the option on listening in on an illicit deal under negotiation. One of the parties is a thug pretending to be him, who fulfils this trope to the letter.

The Order of the Stick:
Belkar the halfling uses stilts and a cloak to disguise himself as a human.
Nale disguising himself as his twin brother Elan. Though his repeated statements of "I'm Elan" don't raise any eyebrows since that is deemed in character for Elan. Nale's high bluff skill also helps.
On the next page, it continues when Vaarsuvius catches him speaking with Sabine (who immediately shapechanges into a policeman).
Immediately after that exchange, Vaarsuvius reveals that he's noticed that the two had been making out (incidentally, Sabine's "police officer" form was male).
Elan's illusions have a bunch of these when he tries to make the hobgoblin army think that they killed all of them.
Celia when disguised as Darkblood Gloomgloom does this when she encounters hobgoblins who want to test her. (Although at least she lowers her voice.)
Haley pretending to be a Thor worshiper.
Averted with the spirit of Hel inside Vampire Durkon. It has access to all of Durkon's memories and thus can do a reasonable impersonation (though it struggles with his accent), which fools everyone but Belkar.

In PS238, some of the children mask their secret use of a launch pad into space by sending the launch pad operator a message that this launch is scheduled and completely normal; no need to panic. The operator dismisses this as the computer AI being needlessly polite.

In The Last Days of FOXHOUND, Ocelot and Mantis try to pass off an unwilling Octopus as Liquid for a possession scheme by Liquid's ghost (It Makes Sense in Context) by ODing him on Liquid's blood and having Mantis brain-scramble him into thinking he's Liquid. Although the intention differs, the result fit the trope perfectly as Octopus starts rambling about how he beats up all the enemy people and hates dominant genes.

Not a villain, in Super Robot Wars the pilot Rastel Feinschmecker is Most Definitely Not Elzam Branstien or Rai's brother. May overlap with The Goggles Do Nothing, as he tries to use them to Clark Kent. No one is fooled, though the appearance is also about ditching his identity as an Aloof Older Brother and being more sociable and friendly, an endeavor that works well.

A sign in Mahogany town in Pokemon Heart Gold and Pokemon SoulSilver helpfully informs you that the building it is situated next to is "Just a Souvenir Shop. Nothing Suspicious about It. No Need to Be Alarmed."
When you talk to the shopkeeper, he'll feel the need to make it clear that the breeze in the shop is just your imagination and is not coming from any kind of hidden underground hideout. Then he offers you stuff to buy.

Die Hard: Hans Gruber attempts to fool John McClane into thinking that he's an escaped hostage by blubbering at him in an American accent. McClane asks him his name and covertly checks an employee roster to confirm it, but Hans has already thought of that and gives a name from the roster. Even still, John gives Hans an unloaded gun and lets him reveal his identity when Hans tries to betray him.

Stargate SG-1:
In the season 3 premiere, O'Neill uses this to try and convince SG-1's captors that he was still implanted by Hathor's Goa'uld larva. Although in this case he knew it wouldn't work for very long, he just needed to buy time for The Cavalry to arrive.
In another episode, Daniel and Sam get Sam's father's help to save Jack and Teal'c who are stuck in a runaway X-301. Jacob pushes the transport ship's engines too hard, and they end up dropping out of hyperspace in a "bad neighborhood". Almost immediately, a Ha'tak arrives to challenge the arrivals. Jacob has Daniel (who speaks Goa'uld) distract the Goa'uld on the Ha'takt using a voice modulator. The best Daniel comes up with?
Daniel is really not good at playing a villain. In "Bad Guys", The team find themselves having to play kidnappers/terrorists. Daniel fools nobody.
So far so good, but....

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: A rare, non-comedic example. Garak is The Exile and really is a tailor. However, he's also formerly an agent of the state's secret police and still has his uses to the government, despite his exile. It doesn't matter how often he protests that he's a simple tailor, no one believes him... mainly because he's not only obviously more skilled than a tailor should be in areas such as code-breaking, espionage, combat, assassination, software programming, engineering and so on, but he's also a self-confessed liar. The crew used this on a few occasions to deniably leak info to the Cardassian government. Eventually his position becomes incredibly important to the Federation's fight against the Dominion, resulting in Garak's character development from anti-villain to anti-hero throughout the show's run.

Aizen in Bleach (S) Abridged probably takes the cake for this pre-reveal. He mentions he's not evil and/or points fingers at someone else in practically every sentence he utters. On top of that, he also has all of Soul Society convinced he's Josh Groban, despite the obvious problems with a living human singer being a soul reaper captain. Naturally the reveal that he's both evil and not Josh Groban completely blindsides everyone.

Professor Viktor Smyte from The Pertwillaby Papers is a former Nazi scientist and high ranking SS officer who has gone into hiding by posing as an American college professor. When people point out his rather unusual way of speaking, he insists that he is as American as "Apfelstrudel", and his accent is a result of having been born and raised in "Coüncil Bluffs, Iowa", where the local drawl just happens to sound like a thick German accent.

In Harry Potter and the Natural 20, Malfoy tries to give a bunch of students some candy, and they all flee in terror, thinking it's some evil plot of his. Interestingly, it kind of wasn't; he suspected some Polyjuice spy was around, and was trying to distribute an antidote. Anyway, his second attempt was an abandoned bunch of candy with a sign that reads: "HALLOWE'EN SWEETS, COURTESY OF HARMLESS HUFFLEPUFFS". Which, of course, works.

Subverted in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, where this trick almost works perfectly. Karone disguises herself as Astronema (her Superpowered Evil Side that was banished forever in the previous series) in order to recover Kendrix's Quasar Saber from a villain-run auction without a fight (and does a very convincing job of acting, winning it with a Whammy Bid which she ups to "and you all get to live"). Clearly, no one there knew that Astronema was, for all intents and purposes, dead - except for Trakeena, and the reason Karone's cover was blown was because she showed up. (Still, it could have been worse; if Trakeena hadn't been late to the event, she might have been in big trouble.)
This is kind of Hilarious in Hindsight, since in the previous season Astronema tried to disguise herself as Ashley to sneak aboard the Megaship, and actually gets close enough to almost kill Andros. Her impersonation is actually pretty bad, although she manages to lay low enough to avoid getting caught until the real Ashley (transformed into Astronema) shows up to expose her.

In Teen Titans (2003), Starfire and Raven, having temporarily lost their ability to fly, seek alternative transportation on a bus full of villains. They beat up two and take their clothing. Starfire then tries to fit in by acting like an over-the-top parody of a villain. Her overacting goes almost completely unnoticed by her audience; what gives her away is the use of an alien version of "God bless you." Considering some of the villains in the show though (Mad Mod, anyone?) Starfire's behavior was normal by villain standards.

Paper Mario:
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door:
At one point, a shape-shifting ghost assumes Mario's identity and runs off with all of his party members. Aside from a few party members pointing out his somewhat different personality, they buy his impersonation without question. (In a Mythology Gag, Mario is a Heroic Mime in this game, while the ghost loudly proclaims that he is Mario and shouts phrases from Super Mario 64 to prove it.)
In Chapter 5, Lord Crump disguises himself as a sailor in the crew headed for Keelhaul Key. Despite how ludicrously obvious his disguise is, nobody but the player notices anything suspicious about him. In a Lampshade Hanging, he at one point addresses the player directly and says he knows how terrible his disguise is, but could the player play along and not tell the heroes, please?
In Super Paper Mario, Merlon and Merlee both show up in Castle Bleck at different times, despite the fact that the last time you saw either of them, they were in a different dimension and had no apparent method or reason to go to where you found them. In this case, they were definitely not a shapeshifter.

The Cubus Sisters in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass are constantly giggling and sabotaging your efforts to rescue 'them', but since it's a But Thou Must! situation you can't just leave the little brats to rot.

Futurama provides a few examples:
The episode "Fear of a Bot Planet":
Subverted in another episode which features Flexo, Bender's identical brother who only differs in having a goatee. Fry and Leela then find a Bender-like robot who constantly hides his chin behind a pullover or a map, so they assume it is Flexo.
The twist is that it really is Bender.
Used in another episode featuring Flexo, in which Bender tries to impersonate him, going out of his way to "act" and "sound" like Flexo — the joke being that, different catchphrases aside, Flexo and Bender already sound like each other. He was jealous of Angleene and Flexo's previous relationship so he came up with a scheme to see if Angleene was still secretly in love with Flexo, but the joke is that he proceeds to act like himself, who is nothing like Flexo, in order to make her admit her feelings for Flexo, and Angleene finds herself liking this "new" Flexo.
The Brain Slugs are one-eyed, fist-sized slugs, who can take control of a person's body, but only by externally attaching to the heads of their victims. As if this weren't obvious enough, they speak of their host in the third person constantly. No one is fooled by this (even Fry realizes something's wrong pretty quickly), but everyone pretends to be, because it's easier to just humor the slugs.
A Decapodian (Zoidberg's people) spy goes by the name "Hugh Mann". The only one fooled is Zap Brannigan - who is, of course, in complete personal control of the entire Earthican defense network.
Leela, when disguised as a man to sneak into the army, spends a good amount of time in the beginning reminding people that she's "a man". When asked her name, she even tries to work it into her pseudonym: "Lee La Man... lemon... Lee Lemon!"

In Preacher Odin Quincannon tries to use the Ku Klux Klan to kill the protagonist. In an attempt to ingratiate himself with them, he keeps enthusiastically stating how much he hates black people, all the time, and keeps adding it to practically everything he says. The other Klan members eventually start talking about how forced this makes him sound.

This is the key mechanic for an entire level in Psychonauts, "The Milkman Conspiracy", where the player must collect objects being used by a series of trenchcoat-clad plumbers, road crew workers, gardeners, housewives, grieving widows, and assassins, among other, increasingly unlikely roles, and use them as a Paper-Thin Disguise. Amusingly, the G-men, despite gathering in groups, are all unaware of the fact that the other G-men are fakes; using Clairvoyance on them, they view all the other G-men as being totally normal people, too. Naturally, there's not a single normal person in the entire stage.
The G-men tend to use the props in very interesting ways too. The gardeners do a sword-swallowing routine with their hedge clippers and the grieving widows play invisible golf with their flowers. Sample dialogue:
There's also Crispin Whytehead, the inmate running the asylum, who explains that he is an orderly, not an impostor.

In Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, we have the hilariously evil HK-50 assassin droids, and more specifically the first one you encounter on the mining colony Peragus, which absolutely insists that it is not an assassination droid of unrivaled sophistication, totally didn't drug you and lock you in the cargo hold of your ship before murdering the rest of the crew only for the ship to be forced to land on the aforementioned mining colony, and absolutely did not manipulate the miners of this colony into fighting amongst themselves over the bounty on your head giving him the opportunity to engineer a number of fatal accidents or reprogram the docile mining droids into killing machines (after all, only a diabolical genius could pull off something like that).

Oglaf features a swarm of identical humans outside a castle. They say "We are authentic humans!" "I am eating cheeses and cooked meat" "Hey! Let's build a really big thing!" "Aah! Pain in my vulnerable parts!" "Who wants to have sex even though we don't intend to breed?" and "I'm repeating your opinion because I want you to like me." They try to prove their humanity by having sex with each other. This leads to a massive orgy, which finally convinces the guard to let them in, against her better judgement.

While Scorpina passes for an ordinary human, Goldar is wearing a hoodie and jeans over his armor, and his blue-furred face is plainly visible.

Naru-Hina Chronicles Mini-sodes: During an undercover mission, Naruto takes on the appearance of Hinata and spends the night with an hotel manager while the real Hinata is investigating the hotel. At one point, Naruto tries to find an excuse to leave without giving off any suspicion. After getting an idea, he then asks the manager "Hey, I need to go take a piss, I won't be long. But, where's the girls room, cuz, you know, I'm a girl. I pee sitting down and everything." Taken aback at first by the coarse language, the manager doesn't realize yet who "she" really is and reveals where the girls room is.

Invader Zim invokes this trope by necessity in order to maintain his Paper-Thin Disguise. ("I'm human! Yep, human, human, human. Just look at my neck!") Only his nemesis Dib and Dib's sister Gaz ever notice. In the episode "Abducted" however, he encounters a pair of even stupider aliens who have even worse disguises and invoke the trope even harder - they abducted Zim because they actually thought he was a human! (And then abduct Dib because they think he's a weasel.)
In another episode, Zim decides to steal organs from the other kids and swallows them as a part of an awful "human" disguise, replacing the stolen organs of his victims with miscellaneous objects. He gleefully points at "his many human organs" when questioned, and the school nurse blindly swallows his Blatant Lies hook, line and sinker.

In El Goonish Shive, all you have to do to convince everyone that you're a normal, everyday human being is to wear a T-shirt that says so on it. In fact, Tedd's father makes a living covering up supernatural or alien entities in such a manner, as seen, for example, here.
This is parodied in a fan-made comic centered around the fans who are represented as avatars with nametags over their heads. One strip involves two characters chasing after Dan. Note that Dan represents himself as an anthropomorphic squirrel. A guy who looks suspiciously like Dan in real life shows up holding a "NotDan" tag over his head and points them in the right direction. In an earlier strip, the comic's Card-Carrying Villain manages to deceive two detectives with a fake name tag.
Sorry Mister Smith. We thought you were a different person who uses the same avatar.
Hilariously, it turns out that for many of the extraterrestrials on Earth, the 'not an alien' thing is true. Many of them have citizenship in their resident countries. In fact, more than a few were born on Earth.
The above is later apparently retconned, as Uryuoms have been using illusions to hide their identities. The viewer only ever saw them as Uryuoms, occasionally dressed with clothing with "Human" written on it, as mainly only people who knew about them and/or were immune to their illusions (mainly Tedd, Grace, Elliot, and Edward's colleagues) ever interacted with them on-panel.

Blackadder:
In the Blackadder Goes Forth episode "Major Star", Kate pretends to be "Bob". She says, "Oh no, sir, I'm not a girl! I understand cricket! I fart in bed! Everything!" in a breathy, high voice. Blackadder is the only person not fooled by the ruse.
Further subverted in the episode "General Hospital", in which Blackadder is asked to root out a German spy in the hospital, in which there is a patient with an outrageous German accent who intently listens to conversations with a binoculars and a notepad... who turns out to be a British spy who picked up "a teensy veensy bit of an accent".

"New Earth": Subverted when Cassandra takes over Rose's body. Of course the Doctor knows something is wrong, but he jumps to the wrong conclusion.
"Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood": The teenage "son" from the Family of Blood spends the two-parter walking around looking as suspicious as is (in)humanly possible. It only works because he pulls it off in such a magnificently creepy way.

Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series:
As mentioned above, Dr. Alex Brisbane. He may lure the heroes into an obvious trap, but he's still definitely not a villain. Of course, as the people he has to fool are Joey, Tristan, Tea and Yugi, not one of them thinks there's anything strange about him. Well, Yugi does. Though his reaction is less "he's definitely a villain!" and more "I'm tired of rescuing people. Let's just go home and forget this happened." Unluckily, Brisbane easily tricks Tristan and Tea to "step on the map", dragging Yugi along for the ride.
At one point, Evil Bakura tries to impersonate Normal Bakura. He mentions his "Britishness", says he had to do British things like "drink tea and eat bangers and mash" because he's British — and everyone falls for it.
And of course we have "Malik Blishtar" who is "definitely not Marik Ishtar".
"Attention duelist! My hair is definitely not leading you into a trap!"
Let's not forget Crump, who was possessing Tea, and had to avoid arousing suspicion. He constantly made references to penguins, and the fact that he wanted to have sex with Yugi. But, well, the only thing that really convinced everyone it was Tea was this little gem:
And when Tea gets possessed again, this time by Marik, he attempts to create a distraction. Nobody notices despite "Tea" pronouncing her own name "tee" instead of "tay ah".

In An Entry with a Bang!!, no one seems duly concerned with the Wolfnet agent named Remus Lupin, even though such a name should be more than a mite suspicious. The BT universe, by nature of being itself, is chock-full of pop cultural references. They've even run across Mario and Luigi, brother plumbers and a reporter named Lois Lane. None so far have exhibited anything special than just the odd coincidence in names, but there's just so many that GDI has decided to just ignore them all. It's just the universe screwing around with them again. This perhaps falls under the rationale it would be funny. After receiving word about other operatives from Wolfnet, Remus Lupin (his name chosen beforehand as a random pseudonym and now having read Harry Potter) mutters:

The monsters in We Are the Strange are a rare creepy example of this trope. In the empty ice cream shoppe, there are rather odd-looking posters which try to pass both the shoppe and the townspeople off as normal.

Monty Python's Flying Circus had multiple examples of this trope:
The "Secret Service Dentists" sketch opens with this, where the Straight Man inadvertently stumbles into a secret spy operation quite terribly disguised as a book seller.
The "Mr. Hilter" sketch, in which the premise is that most of the Nazi Germany higher-ups have escaped to a small English country town called Minehead and are quite badly trying to fit in. Nobody notices.
The "Mr. Neutron" Sketch: Captain Carpenter, from the top-secret agency FEEBLE must disguise himself to go on a mission to the Yukon. His disguise? A large sign which says "Nothing to do with FEEBLE".
And from "The Cycling Tour":
The "Encyclopedia Salesman" sketch: An encyclopedia salesman cons his way into a woman's home by insisting that he's not an encyclopedia salesman, just a burglar here to ransack the flat.

Played straight in Battlestar Galactica (2003). During Simon's first appearance, he spends his entire first scene insisting to Starbuck that he's human, even using the trope name (with "Cylon" in place of "Villain", of course). Starbuck's too disoriented to notice, but the audience... isn't. Word of God tells that they figured the audience would pretty much guess that Simon was a Cylon, so instead of trying to hide him being a Cylon, they tried to build up the suspense by making it unclear what Simon really intended to do with Starbuck and what the "hospital" actually was.

Codename: Kids Next Door shows us just how stupid the world's worst villain, the Toiletnator, is, by having an off panel story about how he was fooled by Numbuh 1, whose disguise was just a t-shirt that said "I'm not Numbuh 1."
When the KND operatives played a game of tag to decide who'd be their leader, (Numbuh 13 was the only one who wanted the mantle but the others wouldn't let him have it) Numbuh 4 hid himself in a box that had a written message stating he wasn't there.

In Sam and Max: The Mole, the Mob, and the Meatball, Ted E. Bear's Mafia-Free Playland and Casino is a Mob-themed Chuck E. Cheese's-esque arcade/restaurant that doesn't seem to try very hard to convince the outside world that it's not a front for the Toy Mafia.
Then there's the theme song, which is catchy as hell:
Max's fake Final Speech from the same episode, which is so long, overblown and such a Cliché Storm that it's painful. He even 'dies' several times only to wake up again and add more to it, to the (unsuspecting) villain's annoyance.
Also General Skun-ka'pe acts like this when you first meet him.
It also helps that the heroes have seen the vision of the future where Skunkape is attacking the city.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door:
At one point, a shape-shifting ghost assumes Mario's identity and runs off with all of his party members. Aside from a few party members pointing out his somewhat different personality, they buy his impersonation without question. (In a Mythology Gag, Mario is a Heroic Mime in this game, while the ghost loudly proclaims that he is Mario and shouts phrases from Super Mario 64 to prove it.)
In Chapter 5, Lord Crump disguises himself as a sailor in the crew headed for Keelhaul Key. Despite how ludicrously obvious his disguise is, nobody but the player notices anything suspicious about him. In a Lampshade Hanging, he at one point addresses the player directly and says he knows how terrible his disguise is, but could the player play along and not tell the heroes, please?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
"Doppelgangland": Willow (well, Season 3 Willow, anyway) pretending to be her vampire duplicate was doomed to failure. "I killed her. And sucked her blood, as we vampires do." She lasts all of five minutes before the other bad guys catch on. And her vampire duplicate is equally pathetic at passing herself off as the human Willow — though far more successful, because she's talking to the ever self-absorbed Cordelia. "Why don't you let me out, 'cause I'm... so helpless." In fact, there's an enormous distinction between Willow, vamp Willow, Willow posing as vamp Willow, and vamp Willow posing as Willow.
On the other hand, the Scoobies were completely oblivious to the true nature of the BuffyBot in her first appearance, despite its weird behavior and stilted dialogue along the lines of "I wouldn't keep a secret from you, Willow. You're my best friend. You're recently gay" (the robot's heads-up display reveals that these are the only two things it knows about Willow). Buffy was understandably irritated when she found out.
Yet another Buffy example: when Faith exchanges bodies with Buffy in "Who Are You?", she spends about three minutes practicing saying "Because it's wrong!" very emphatically and with different inflections in front of a mirror. It's amusing. She later says this seriously in a case of Becoming the Mask.
Spike once attempts to disguise his vampness with a horrible American accent: "I'm just a friend of Xanduurr's!" Made even funnier when you realize it's American James Marsters pretending to be British pretending to be American badly. And both the characters Giles and Spike have changed accents over their lives: both Giles and Spike come from well-educated families, both adopted low-class accents in early adulthood (with Spike sticking with his, and Giles reverting to a posh accent when his rebellious phase ended). The actor who plays Giles actually has a lower-class accent, and the American Marsters used that accent as a model for Spike's.

Winnie the Pooh pretends to be a little cloud when he tries to use a balloon to steal honey from a beehive. This includes having his friend Christopher Robin walking back and forth below him with an umbrella and loudly proclaim that it will rain soon. While Pooh himself sings a little song about how he's just a raincloud:
The Disney adaptation provides an even better example of the trope, as Pooh's song gets even more insistent that he's only a cloud and definitely not interested in honey:
In the Russian adaptation, he first of all establishes to the bees that: "I'm a little rain cloud and definitely not a bear."

A clumsy case is Morgana from Merlin (2008). When she returns to Camelot in series three, she spends most of her time smirking evilly to herself (in public) and interacting with her friends and family in a cloying, faux-sympathetic way (that was completely unlike the Morgana of the first two series). The audience isn't fooled for a second, but everyone else is completely taken in.

Justice League Unlimited has The Flash being terrible at trying to act like Lex Luthor (after the two accidentally swapped bodies), as mentioned above. Two people seemed to have caught on, but kept it to themselves for their own reasons (Gorilla Grodd, who wanted to see him squirm, and Tala, who liked "new" Lex better). The rest assumed that their leader had fried his brain trying to Mind Probe Grodd, although Bizzaro might have become suspicious that this wasn’t the real Luther.
