Two (or more) characters, for whatever reason, must pretend they do not know each other over a long period of time. There are two obvious reasons for this to happen: A spy mission or con game is in progress, and two seemingly unrelated characters chatting like friends would give away the play. If this is the first time some of these characters have appeared on the show, the audience might not be told that the characters know each other either. One character denies knowing another because they think the association would reflect badly on them. This might be a matter of life and death, for example if the person being blanked is an official unperson and the one doing the blanking is scared of a visit from State Security. In a Teen Drama or Soap Opera, however, it's more likely that one character is just embarrassed to be seen in public with the other, and demands that they pretend not to know each other. Compare Friendship Denial. Often associated with Photo Identification Denial, wherein one person denies knowing another after being shown their photograph, but they actually do know the person in the picture. Acquaintance Denial is a subtrope. |

A quick gag in the Ranma ½ manga has Genma and Sōun making fool of themselves on the street with their usual hammy antics, just as Nabiki, hanging out with some other girls from the school, is passing by. One of her friends asks her if that isn't her father, while Nabiki is ignoring them and pretends she'd never met them. | |

Arrow: In the Lian Yu flashbacks, Oliver Queen is captured only to find Sara Lance, whom he assumed drowned during the sinking of the Queen's Gambit the year before, is still alive and working for his captors. She invokes this trope, telling Oliver to not reveal his real name because they'll be killed if anyone realises they know each other. Subverted when it turns out Sara has already told them who he is and she's just playing along to get Oliver to reveal further information. Played for laughs when Sara Lance officially returns to Starling City, though she's secretly been there for months as a masked vigilante. Sin (who worked with her during that time) glomps Sara on sight to everyone's confusion. Sin quickly makes up a story about how she always does that when people come back from the dead due to having a zombie fetish, then rolls her eyes. |

Bosch: In season 5, Harry Bosch is going undercover to find the leaders of a pill mill who just murdered a pharmacist that refused to continue selling oxycontin to them. To do so, he receives a set of fake ID with his pictures and the name "Dominic Reilly", to pass himself off as an opioid addict and gain access to the smugglers. He goes to the VA complaining of pain in his knee, and meets one Dr. Hansen, who signs him up with an opioid therapy group. On the way out of the hospital he sees one of the men in the group, Louis Degner, selling pills to another group member, Elizabeth Clayton. Bosch and Edgar follow Louis to his house and arrives just as Louis is frantically administering narcan to revive an overdosed Elizabeth. The police and paramedics are called, and to win Louis's trust, Bosch pretends not to know who Edgar is and helps Louis avoid arrest. Subsequently, Louis agrees to take Harry to the Garcia Pain Clinic. | |

For various embarrassing reasons, when Lister is later "introduced" to Rimmer as his subordinate, Rimmer pretends not to know Lister. | |

The Order of the Stick: Not quite a con, but the protagonists are being cautious, and not advertising that they know each other, when Belkar is in the arena. Leads to him and V being able to insult each other by way of "introduction". And causing Elan to cluelessly ask "What's your name, Roy?" after being "introduced" to him. Not that it matters; it eventually transpires that the Genre Savvy General Tarquin assumes that when a number of high-level characters enter the city at around the same time, they're an adventuring party. | |

Aspects of both showed up in Starfighters of Adumar. Wedge Antilles, pilot and all-around hero acting as ambassador to a world believed to be very recently discovered, finds his old flame Iella from Intelligence there, looking at him without any visible recognition. When Wedge sends one of his pilots to talk to her, she asks how the pilots are doing. Later he confronts her and finds that the New Republic has known about this world for somewhat longer than he'd thought, telling him that she can't blow her cover. Later still he confronts her again, and finds that another reason is pain — they didn't break up so much as drift apart, and she'd never tried to bring them back together, and he'd moved on to other relationships, even though they hadn't lasted. She'd like them to both forget about it. But Wedge loved her too. | |

Daredevil (2015): In the season 1 episode "Speak of the Devil", Matt Murdock decides to chat up Wilson Fisk's girlfriend Vanessa Marianna at her art gallery. While Matt is talking to her, Fisk unexpectedly shows up. Fisk knows Matt as one of the lawyers at the law firm that got Karen off when he tried to have her framed for murder, and later used for Healy's defense, and who is now opposing counsel to him in the tenement case. So Matt has to be careful with his words so that Fisk won't realize he's talking to the same guy he had a conversation with over the police radio a few episodes earlier. | |

In One Piece, during Nico Robin's backstory, her mother, Nico Olvia, is captured and brought before the other scholars. Robin asks if Olvia is her mother, but Olvia denies it, not wanting Robin to be labeled as the daughter of a criminal. However, Robin persists, and after Robin admits to being able to read Poneglyphs, Olvia breaks down and admits the truth. | |

Murder, She Wrote episodes featuring MI6 agent Michael Haggerty generally feature the slight variant of "We barely know each other", since Jessica's reaction to him showing up usually makes it quite clear to others that she recognises him from somewhere. | |

In The Bible, Peter denies knowing Jesus when he's brought to trial the night before the crucifixion, making this Older Than Feudalism. And it was just a few hours after Peter said he would never do such a thing. And Christ being all-knowing, insisted he would, and he did. Peter was facing trial and horrible, excruciating death rather than embarrassment, but still...as soon as Peter realized what he did, he was horrified. | |

In the same vein as Mission Impossible, Leverage does this several times. The team will often pretend not to know each other as part of a con, or even to actively be at odds with each other (in one episode, Sophie, posing as a high-ranking member of the Irish mob, pretends to murder Nate, while at one point Parker pretended to be a dead woman that Nate and Sophie pressured the mark over). | |

In Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, Fuyuhiko and Peko, the heir to the Kuzuryu clan and his bodyguard, respectively, are the only two classmates who knew each other prior to coming to Hope's Peak Academy. Fuyuhiko insists that their prior relationship never existed, and as such, Pekoyama calls him by his name instead of "Young Master", while Fuyuhiko, instead of calling Peko by her first name, tends to not refer to her by name at all. Ultimately, however, the truth behind their relationship comes out at the end of the second trial. | |

But the problem lies in the fact that Dick is pretending to be a Gestapo officer to save his friends from the Nazis. He shakes off Caldicott, but it's not enough to dispel suspicion from the other Gestapo. | |

Omar then uses the number in a failed attempt on Avon's life. When setting up a parlay between Omar and Stringer, Joe wisely pretends to have never met Omar in person. | |

Used in one of the western films in the Trinity series, where the titular character Trinity and his brother Bambino pretend not to know each other so that they can cheat at cards. The scheme falls apart when a professional gambler accuses Trinity of cheating, which Trinity was doing by giving everyone at the table increasingly good cards, but his brother ended up with the best hand. | |

In an example that fits both types of the trope, when Dr Ethan Pierce first appeared on Shortland Street he and Dr Brooke Freeman pretended not to know each other, even though they had been lovers for years. Brooke felt that Ethan was an embarrassing reminder of her past and was already dating another man, while Ethan decided to go along with the ruse so that he could also date other women as well as use Brooke as a spy to gain a professional advantage at the hospital that they both work at. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Dawn's reaction to learning that Buffy has gotten a job as a youth councillor in her school: Spike clearly has some kind of history with Anya's old friend the vengeance demon Halfrek (to the point that she knows him as "William"), but they both deny knowing each other, out of what seems to be mutual embarrassment. As they're played by the same actress, one fan theory is that she's Cecily, the girl he wrote "Effulgent" for. |
