Two or more children (or just short people or not short people) pile up, one on another's shoulders, and put a Conspicuous Trenchcoat (and usually a fedora hat) over this pyramid to make them look like an adult or a tall man. Usually a Paper-Thin Disguise. A common gag involving this trope would be the person at the top asking for something like "Two tickets—I mean one, please". An unfortunate Ill-Timed Sneeze by one of the participants will make the whole pyramid collapse at the worst time possible. There is usually a little Artistic License – Physics involved as in Real Life it is hard to move realistically as one person when standing on the shoulders of another (or having someone standing on your shoulders). True, anyone who has seen acrobats at a circus knows that standing like this is possible, but it still requires a lot of natural strength and coordination, and then years of practice on top of that — not something that can be done on a whim to get tickets to an R-rated movie. A subtrope to Two Men, One Dress. A much more advanced form of the trick would be Mobile-Suit Human. For a much more extreme form of this trope, look to The Worm That Walks. A mechanical version would be Combining Mecha. An animal form of the trick would be Pantomime Animal. This trope is also a Stock Visual Metaphor for organizations or groups suffering internal quarrels or factionalism — see also We ARE Struggling Together, Jurisdiction Friction, or Not-So-Omniscient Council of Bickering. |

Spoofed in a first-season episode of The Eric Andre Show in a skit where Andre enters a car dealership as the top half of a two-adult TPT, complete with a fedora, asking to buy a car in an obviously fake low voice. The owner of the establishment, for whatever reason, becomes extremely unnerved by Eric's antics, repeatedly saying he "don't trust like that" and demands for Eric to unbutton the coat, which Eric considers sexually inappropriate. | |

Sluggy Freelance: In "Meanwhile in the Dimension of Pain", Terribus pretends to be the Demon King in a disguise that involves his standing atop Quixxle. "4U City Red" brings us "Dr. Bunwig McTwodudes", consisting of two adult men (though they sure aren't acting like it) and a bonus rabbit. It Makes Just as Much Sense in Context; they really don't have much of a reason to use a disguise like that. It veers a bit into Black Comedy since they're talking to a grieving family about their presumed-definitely-dead daughter. Since they're not short, the "doctor" ends up being very tall, though at least Riff is sitting on Torg's shoulders, not standing. |

PAW Patrol: In a fanfic called "Pups in Disguise," the pups go to Ryder's award ceremony disguised as a human with Chase at the top. Given that Marshall is on the bottom pretty much made the whole plan a disaster waiting to happen, and Skye even points out the absurdity of the plan for that very reason! Part 2 of the story can be read here. In another fanfic called "Pups Save the Dance Competition", Marshall and Chase do this to provide a girl with a height-proportionate dance partner for Adventure Bay's dance competition. Given that Chase is the one underneath, Mayor Humdinger sabotaged their plan by having his Kitty Katastrophe Krew shed their fur inside the coat causing Chase's allergies to start acting up rendering him unable to continue with the act. All hope seems lost at first until Everest steps in and agrees to take Chase's place as Marshall's legs. In this fanfic, Marshall and Everest do this to sneak into a shop. In this fanfic, Sweetie enlists Skye and Everest to help her masquerade as the Princess of Barkingburg. It doesn’t go as well as she had hoped. |

101 Dalmatians: The Series: In this fanfiction, the main pups stack up on each other wearing a trench coat and fedora and attempt to rescue one of their adopted brothers. In the disguise, it was Lucky on top, Cadpig in the middle, Rolly on the bottom, and Spot not participating. In this fanfic, Lucky, Cadpig and Rolly do this to rescue Spot from a family of chicken hawks. Later on in the fanfic, Pongo and Perdita do this to rescue their puppies from Cruella (with Perdita on the bottom), and fortunately, Horace and Jasper were gullible enough to buy it despite all their mishaps. In this fanfic, the main pups are involved in an endurance against Scorch and Vandella in order to save the farm from being sold to Cruella. In the final round, they perform this trope. Lucky, Cadpig and Rolly form one, while Scorch and Vandella form the other. |

Discussed in Castle. One victim happens to have just run a con on a first-grade classroom; forensic evidence says that his murderer was between 5'3" and 6' tall, so the cops conclude that the first-graders probably couldn't have done it unless they were using this trope. | |

This was actually shown on an episode of What Would You Do? (Nickelodeon). In this instance, they showed a dwarf who wanted to ride a water slide, which had a height requirement, and he was too short. He soon found a kid who was also too short to ride, so he got the kid on his shoulders and used a blanket to cover them up with. This may have just been set up, but it was shown in real time. | |

Scrubs: J.D. often enlists either Turk or Elliot to help him masquerade as "the world's most giant doctor". The punchline is that there really is a giant doctor at Sacred Heart, who punctuates these scenes by complaining about J.D. borrowing his coat without permission. At the end of one episode, Elliot comes up with the idea with J.D. to attempt the "triple giant doctor". They attempt it with J.D. on top, Lonnie in the middle, and Elliot on the bottom. It doesn't go very well. |

Calvin and Hobbes: Once done by Calvin to get a ticket to a violent movie he's too young to see, using Hobbes as the top half of a Coat, Hat, Mask totem pole.note This stacking order makes little sense from Calvin's perspective, since he sees Hobbes as a real tiger several times his size, but it avoids the reality bending situation of others watching Calvin be carried around by a stuffed animal. The box office vendor, seeing Hobbes as a plush toy, is not convinced. | |

If a tiny Lalafell player tries to take the outfit from the giant Roegadyn, the game will gravely inform them that this could only perhaps work "if there were three of you standing on each other's shoulders". | |

World of Warcraft: A variant is used in the Uldum questline. The player and several NPCs need to escape their centauroid captors, so they gather the distinctive armor of the local guards. They then form the shape of a centaur with three people: One standing at the front wearing the helm, one standing a bit behind them, and a third being held horizontally between the two. Smoke from a fire the player set hides them but creates the silhouette of a centaur, allowing them to escape in the chaos. In Valdrakken, spies are using illusions to hide themselves as local citizens. One possibility on dispelling an illusion is to discover that a towering draknoid was actually three goblins sitting on each other's shoulders. |

After the Rangers get turned into little kids, several of them get caught at a disaster scene and are taken back to the police station. Kat and Tommy pretend to be Billy's mom by wearing a coat and having Kat stand on Tommy's shoulders so that they'll be let go. It helps that the police officer they talked to couldn't see very well. | |

Soul Eater: Kilik once had his two (very tiny) partners be the head for their disguise as a cloaked Arachnophobia soldier, although Kilik was tall enough to do it himself. When they start squirming around he pretends to be some experimental magical warrior by having one of them shoot fire out of the mask. In episode 21 of the Soul Eater anime, Blair is fighting the (remaining) 5 Mizune sisters. She smashes four of the sisters with one spell... but the fifth sister behind her starts giggling madly. Activating the hivemind within the sisters (accompanied by speaking in sync and rhythmic finger-snapping), they do a Fusion Dance by stacking themselves atop of each other to form a large tower and the five combine to form... a Hot Witch. It Makes Sense in Context... we guess. Though the 5-Mizune witch has yet to do anything but provide Fanservice, in the manga two or three Mizune can combine together to form a teenage-looking girl (the one made from three looks a bit older) actually capable of fighting. |

Miles ends up being the bottom half of the totem pole, and Kevin claims it's his own fault since he didn't call dibs. The first person they run into falls for it since he's wearing glasses, thinks Miles and Kevin are a wrestler, and pushes them into the locker room. A wrestler they encounter in there however sees through the disguise right away. | |

A really bizarre example of this is in Spyro the Dragon (1998). The boss of the Artisans world is Toasty, a really tall, pumpkin headed creature in a black robe donning a witch's hat and wielding a Sinister Scythe. After you flame him twice, he's revealed to be a sheep standing on stilts. Although you might be able to figure this out beforehand because the first time you flame him, you can hear him bleat, and there are even times when the sheep peeks out of the robe. | |

Sam & Max do a variation of this in the original Sam & Max Hit the Road game. They make a bigfoot disguise to infiltrate a bigfoot party. Sam's snout sticks out of the middle of the costume, but this being a Sam & Max game, nobody notices even when they're talking to each other. Only one bigfoot asks if Max is really having an argument with his belly button. | |

A recurring bit in The Hidden Almanac is for a famous historical figure to turn out to be an example of this. The tale of a much-admired socialite who cut a swathe through high society before being unmasked as sixteen crows wearing a trenchcoat. A popular singer who died of heartworm, which is not normally fatal to humans. "Further investigation revealed that the singer was, in fact, two golden retrievers in a tie-dyed sundress." Taken to a whole new level when Mord mentions that one of his former colleagues "was later revealed to be an epic poem about tadpoles". |

In the episode where Mike and the robots make fun of a German adaptation of Hamlet, Crow and Servo dress up as a ghost and try to get Mike to believe that they're the ghost of his father. Mike tells them that his father was still living, so the robots kept changing their identity to other people in Mike's family tree, but everyone they tried turned out to be a relative who was still living. | |

The Pokémon Dipplin displays a variation of this trope, consisting of two "wyrms" inside a single apple that give off the appearance of a single being similar to its pre-evolution, Applin. Despite this, Dipplin isn't much bigger than Applin, being 1'4" to Applin's 0'8". This was meant to foreshadow its evolution into Hydrapple, which is more of a general Two Men, One Dress example consisting of seven "syrpents" inside the apple that randomly pop out to give the impression of a hydra with one to five heads. | |

They wear Chef Pee Pee's outfit, with Junior forming the head and arms and Cody forming the legs. What is even more ridiculous is that Bowser mistakes them for Chef Pee Pee himself, and admits about giving up Junior for adoption. At the end of the episode, it is revealed that Chef Pee Pee was alive the whole time and played a prank on Junior. | |

Critical Role: In Campaign 1 episode 102, Scanlan suggests doing this with a cultist's robes to blend in, with Pike on his shoulders. Pike points out it should be the other way around (as she's a lot stronger than him). Scanlan enthusiastically agrees, and since the robes' sleeves are much too long, he ends up using Mythcarver and his flute to puppet the arms. In Campaign 2 Episode 53, the Mighty Nein meet the mysterious Madam Musk, a potion merchant wearing a long cloak. It doesn't take long for the party to suss out that "she" is actually five kobolds working together under the cloak. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In a fanfic called Rainbow Pie in the Eye, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie dress up as a gorilla to play a prank on the other main six (except Fluttershy). Another fanfic called "Just Horsing Around" is about a human named Ryan who somehow stumbles into Equestria and befriends the main 6. At one point in the story, the main 6 take Ryan out to lunch, but little do they know, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were also at the restaurant spying on them using this classic disguise. Applejack notices them and is completely aware it's them, but she just tells Ryan to act like he doesn't notice. In this fanfic, Diamond Tiara tries to get through a parent teacher conference about her slipping grades without her parents finding out. She has Silver Spoon, Snips and Snails come in posing as her parents. Cheerilee didn't buy it. In this fanfic, Diamond Tiara tries to sneak into the Grand Galloping Gala (after her mother refuses to let her because she's too young) by standing on top of Silver Spoon and wearing an overcoat. Although, it didn't take long for the main six to see through their disguise. In this fanfic, the Mane 6 go to a town called Anthrotrottia where the resident ponies are very tall and anthropomorphic. They perform this act to try to blend in. There is a fanfic called Celestia’s Cake Plot, which takes place during the time when Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were fillies. In this fic, the sisters disguise themselves to sneak into a bakery so that Celestia could eat a cake that she wants to eat. Luna ends up on the bottom much to her displeasure. In this fanfic Pinkie Pie and Princess Luna do this to pose as a date for Princess Celestia at the Grand Galloping Galla. Their cover is eventually blown when Luna blasts Pinkie out of the disguise with her extreme sneeze, but fortunately, Celestia had a good sense of humor. In this fanfic, Starlight Glimmer gets on Trixie’s shoulders, and they put on a long costume of Starlight’s body to masquerade around Ponyville getting other ponies to believe Starlight has grown a long body. This was inspired by an internet meme going around in 2020 of Starlight having a long body. In this fanfic, the Cutie Mark Crusaders disguise themselves as a janitor to sneak into the School of Friendship and try to help Gallus get a better grade on his test. In this fanfic the Mane 6 do this to sneak into the Flim Flam Brothers’ friendship university to see what they’re up to. In this fanfic, the Student six disguise themselves as a house inspector to try to fool Cozy Glow and retrieve back a magical goblet that she stole. From top to bottom, the lineup was Sandbar, Smolder, Ocellus, Gallus, Silverstream and Yona. There is an Equestria Girls fanfic where some of the Humane 7 disguise themselves as lab workers to sneak into a top secret lab and try to save Fluttershy, who is being held hostage by a scientist. Twilight Sparkle sits on Applejack’s shoulders, and Pinkie Pie sits on Rarity’s shoulders. This is a parody on the “Muppets from Space� example below. |

In Chicory: A Colorful Tale, there's an NPC in the Dinners Transit Office called "An Adult", who's actually three kids in a trench coat. They try to pass themselves as an adult to get a transit pass, but while they're terrible at it, they manage to steal Pizza's pass if the latter relents and gives it to them. Not that that's Plum's problem since he can just give them a new one. | |

In Yakitate!! Japan, the Kaiser brothers are usually stacked on top of one another and covered by a wrap-around cloak. Normally more than one head protrudes from the cloak, but the cloak hides the actual way in which they're stacked (including their legs and feet), so when it finally gets revealed, it creates a great shock. | |

Two fans of the Hub's Pound Puppies series worked together on a role-play-styled fanfiction of it that involved this trope. In the fanfic, Lucky and Cookie do this to try to trick McLeish into selling them a pup for adoption with Lucky on top and Cookie on the bottom. Throughout the scene, they were both nervous about getting caught, but even though Lucky wasn't wearing any facial accessories (other than a hat), McLeish was too preoccupied to take the time to notice. This fanart is of the same basic concept. |

In Season 5 of Face/Off, Roy turned his (normal-sized) model into a pair of undead midgets in a trench coat. It was so funny that the judges themselves laughed out loud. Worth noting is that the original design had the midget on top screaming, but one of the judges pointed out that this was more creepy than amusing and suggested making him a Cigar Chomper instead, which worked wonders. | |

The Forest Fairy sits on Rölli's shoulders while she wears Lerkkanen's bowler hat, uses her long hair as a makeshift beard, and covers them with a quilt, but she lets Rölli do the threatening. The humans are confused rather than scared by this display, and when the quilt soon falls off, the heroes end up being chased by the men. | |

This was also done in episode 5 of the Little Lulu anime, in an attempt to rescue Tubby from the Westside Gang. Lulu and Willy disguised themselves as Tubby's mother, with Lulu on top and Willy on the bottom. At first, the Westside Gang don't buy the act, since Lulu doesn't say anything, having Annie do the talking for her, but when she finally convinces the Westside Gang that Tubby's mother has a bad case of laryngitis and that if "she" doesn't see her son pretty soon, there's no telling what will happen. It would've worked too, had Lulu not gotten knocked off by the fence post above that served as the entrance to the Westside Gang's territory while entering and revealed Willy in front of the Westside Gang. Hilarity Ensues. | |

Lord Doom: Lord Doom starts out as just half a dozen tiny drones and a cloak, becoming more sophisticated as Taylor builds up her swarm. It's actually the source of most of "his" apparent powers; everyone (except Tattletale) thinks he has an invisible intangible Breaker state that can defeat Clockblocker's touch-based freezing and registers as non-living to Vista's spatial power. | |

Madagascar: A Little Wild: In this fanfic, the main animals do this to sneak into Grand Central Station onto a train to go to Buffalo and attend a festival to try their famous Buffalo wings. In this fanfic, Alex, Marty and Gloria disguise themselves as a doctor so that they can accompany Melman while he’s put under surgery. In this fanfic, Alex, Marty and Gloria do this to pose as Kate’s secret admirer and go on a date with her as Melman (who was her real secret admirer) writes poetry about her. |

In Dragon Ball Z's Buu Saga, Trunks and Goten mug a masked fighter in order to enter the adults' division of the Tenkaichi Budokai after curb-stomping the under-16 division. The best part is that they actually fight pretty competently, holding their own against Android 18 for a good while (it helps that they are both ridiculously strong, so unlike most kids in this list, they would have no problem carrying each other). Everyone just writes "Mighty Mask" off as a weirdo with a lumpy torso and unusually short limbs who talks to himself a lot (and they completely fail to notice the eyeholes Goten poked in the suit). Master Roshi is sharp enough to figure things out early on and 18 catches on when the boys decide to go Super Saiyan, but nobody else figures it out until 18 exposes the boys by cutting through their costume with a Destructo Disc, getting them disqualified. | |

The chimps also do this continuously in Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, as the ridiculously flamboyant "King of Versailles". The penguins kinda get in on the act, too (the costume acts as a command center of sorts for them that helps them win at gambling). | |

In Speed Racer, Chim-Chim climbs on Spritle's shoulders wearing a lab coat and hard hat in Spritle's attempt to figure out what the Royalton company is up to. It takes quite a long time for the people there to realize one of their co-workers looks like a chimpanzee. | |

Done to truly astounding effect in The Court Jester, where three average-sized people suddenly become six little people. In the climax, a pair successfully sneaks into Hawkins' and Jean's execution, disguised as one soldier, to cut him loose. Actually more plausible than most examples: the little people are trained acrobats in-universe so they have no problem standing on each other, and the fact that it's clearly an adult's head on top makes it look more organic. | |

The Brave Little Toaster: In the original movie, Kirby, Lampy, Toaster, and Blanky do this to disguise themselves as a phantom so they can scare Elmo St. Peters and save Radio from having his tubes taken by him. In The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue, during the "Remember that Day" segment, Kirby and a snake do something like this to make themselves look like Rob. This was another instance where the participants were not trying to fool anyone, but merely just playing around. |

Referenced in How I Met Your Mother. Marshal claims he was mugged by a monkey, but later confides to Barney and Ted that it was an actual mugger, and he just didn't want Lily to buy a gun. Cue Barney: "Are you sure it wasn't two monkeys stacked on top of each other with a trench coat?" | |

George and Harold do this in one of the Captain Underpants books, to pose as an adult to get an invention off of Melvin's genius parents. They only start to suspect something's wrong when George's hands are what takes the gadget (as Harold — who was on top — is white and George is black), but have their minds erased almost immediately after. | |

In Leisure Suit Larry 1: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards, Larry can meet a trenchcoat flasher on the sidewalk by the hotel. When you look at the flasher, the narrator comments that it's really a little person standing on the shoulders of another. They're both still flashers, though. | |

Kermit stands on top of Fozzie and Pepe stands on top of Miss Piggy. Done again in the 2011 movie, with Fozzie, Scooter, Kermit, Gonzo, Rowlf and Animal each operating one limb of a human disguise to sneak into Miss Piggy's office. |
