Sometimes when a character has to use the art of disguise, they go too far. If they have to pose as a member of a certain minority group, they incorporate every stereotype of said group possible into their costume. Probably the best-known instance of this: The spy/secret agent who wears a grey trenchcoat and black hat (as an effort to "blend in" with the general populace) decades after these went out of fashion. Also frequently occurs when individuals must disguise themselves as the opposite gender. Compare Culture Equals Costume. |

The Sarah Silverman Program played with this. Sarah argued with a black man that being Jewish is harder than being black, and the two agreed to go through one day as the other ethnicity for a day to test it. Sarah dressed up in a horribly stereotypical and offensive way, receiving very unpleasant remarks, thinking they actually thought she was black and their responses were genuine racism. When she met the man in the usual spot she and the gang get their coffee and said that she agreed that being black was harder, the black man said he realised being Jewish was actually harder. He was wearing a yarmukle, peot, a long false nose, and a shirt saying 'I <3 Money'. The man left the place as the two exchanged suspicious looks. | |

In High Anxiety, Richard is wanted for murder and he and Victoria need to bypass airport security, so they disguise themselves as a loud, bickering elderly Jewish couple. Their reasoning is that the louder and more obnoxious they are, the more they'll be ignored. | |

Supernatural. In "Frontierland" Sam and Dean have to travel back to 1861 Wyoming. Aware that Dean is a massive Western fan, Sam reluctantly wears the clothes he's picked out for them, which sure enough don't resemble what everyone else is wearing. It's not that which gives them away however, but the fact that their clothes are unusually clean for strangers who supposedly just rode into town. | |

Discworld, Jingo: Sergeant Colon does this in a downright racist manner (as well as Malaproper, calling the Klatchians "brothers of the dessert" rather than the desert and asking "Had any baksheesh lately?"), to the point that onlookers assume he's a spy for a country other than the one he seems to be from, since no actual spy would be so obvious. And especially Ankh-Morpork, being a Proud Merchant Race run by a Magnificent Bastard, would never send such an idiot. 71-Hour Ahmed in the same book does this brilliantly. He keeps doing stereotypically "Klatchian" things (like offering to buy someone's wife for twenty camels) and speaking Morporkian badly, with a thick accent. It turns out that not only is he the police chief of Al-Khali, he was educated in the Assassins' Guild school and speaks Morporkian perfectly when he wants to. He actually puts on a slight Morporkian accent in Klatchian just to mess with people. In Moving Pictures the Wizards of the Unseen University do this by disguising themselves as Wizards. Specifically they put some conspicuous wire in their beards, which convinces everyone else that they were locals in ridiculous Wizard disguises. This allows them to attend the Moving Pictures show "incognito". |

Ayakashi Triangle: Being turned from male to female did not alter Matsuri's personality, and he has a hard time fitting in with girls even when he tries. When he tries to act feminine as part of a disguise, he affects an obnoxiously cute act where he talks loudly, giggles, and proclaims his enthusiasm with a heart in his speech bubble. Suzu saw through it instantly, and people who didn't know Matsuri was a boy found it incredibly conspicuous. | |

In The Man Who Was Thursday, the anarchist Lucian Gregory repeatedly tries to infiltrate respectable society by disguising himself as a priest, a capitalist, or a military man. It fails each time because, as he was raised on anarchist propaganda, he acts like an over-the-top strawman of these groups. | |

Spies Like Us: Inverted. The two KGB agents' "American" disguises seem like they were inspired by Malibu Ken dolls, as they consist of bleached blonde hair and preppy, pastel-colored clothing - complete with their own baby blue Jeep - in rural Pakistan. Of course, neither of the protagonists are suspicious of them until Millbarge notices one of them wearing a Russian-made wristwatch. | |

Back to the Future: Back to the Future Part II: Marty falls into this trap with the "something inconspicuous" outfit he bought with Doc's money. The leather jacket and Sunglasses at Night would've been conspicuous enough, but then he tops it off with a nice trilby hat, which was not considered casual headwear and normally only worn with a suit in the '50s. Back to the Future Part III: Marty's flamboyant cowboy attire, which he does lampshade, but (1950s) Doc insists is fine to wear (note that westerns were huge in 1955, but historical accuracy in westerns was not). Marty switches to more reasonable clothes as soon as he can. |

In the Tintin comics, bumbling detectives Thomson and Thompson often attempt to go undercover by wearing ridiculously stereotypical disguises of whatever country they're in. The Blue Lotus has them dress up in garish Qing-era garb (complete with queues) on a visit to Shanghai in the 1930s. They end up with a large crowd of people pointing and laughing at them. Destination Moon has them wearing traditional ceremonial garb◊ of the wrong country: |

South Park. Cartman pulls this twice: He goes undercover with Butters into a Chinese restaurant wearing a dÇ’ulì, false buck teeth, and slanty eyes so that he can get secret plans for PRC world domination. He also acts like a stereotype of mentally handicapped people to get into the Special Olympics — he loses so badly that all he has to show for it is a Consolation Prize. |

In Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, a prolonged scene with the President and a staff full of political caricatures includes a "Chief Spy" with "a false moustache, a false beard, false eyelashes, false teeth and a falsetto voice" while in the office.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance: Raiden's idea of an authentic civilian disguise while in Mexico is a gaudy mariachi sombrero and poncho draped over his completely unaltered cyborg body, not to mention his high-tech car and Bladewolf. The first two locals he sees are more perplexed by the bizarre attempt at blending in than anything. He was apparently told that this would be a perfect disguise by the shopkeeper who sold it to him, who by all rights deserves the "Biggest Balls in Mexico" award for tourist trapping a heavily armed murder machine without fear or hesitation. | |

Private Schulz is sent to infiltrate Britain wearing plus fours. It's only after he's been put on the plane that his superiors ask if they still wear plus fours in 1940s wartime Britain. This and a few other blunders (like asking for a coffee in a British pub) soon give him away and the police are soon on the lookout for "the man in the plus fours" as a suspected German spy. | |

Kindergarten Wars: Played for Laughs. At one point, Dandelion Class and Sylvia need to infiltrate Yokohama's China Town, and so Sylvia prepares very stereotypically Chinese outfits for them. She claims it's for a disguise, but then blatantly admits she wants a reason to wear a fancy Chinese dress. Hilariously, Hana ends up dressing in a panda costume. | |
