This trope is when a celebrity, Super Hero with a Secret Identity, a magical, non-human creature, etc. is mistaken for an impersonation of themselves, and furthermore, criticized or laughed at for their lame "costume".
Picture this: Elvis really is Not Quite Dead after all. He decides to surprise the world by showing up at one of those Elvis Impersonator conventions in full iconic Elvis regalia. What does he hear when he shows up? His outfit is the poorest recreation anyone has ever seen, his accent sounds totally fake, his hair style is all wrong, and he's much too tall. Nice try, newbie, but you would never pass as the real Elvis.
May be evoked in Clark Kenting. Yes, this does happen in Real Life because Reality Is Unrealistic. Also, performers who are going to work have cosmetics and costume people to get them ready to look good under the bright lights, compared to whatever day-to-day clothes they wear to go shopping.
A contributing factor is that impersonations are usually not judged on how much they look and act like the real celebrity in general, but how faithfully they can recreate a small number of recorded performances. Those same recordings are available for the impersonator to rehearse with again and again, whereas for the real Elvis, that performance was only one out of hundreds in his career. Many of the small details in the canonical recording that the impersonators lovingly reproduce would be unimportant accidents to the real performer, or at best just one point on an entire scale of ways they can perform.
Not to be confused with Cheap Costume or Beta Outfit. Also see Recognition Failure, Mistaken for Clown and Genuine Imposter. This might lead to the "impersonator" explaining that Actually, I Am Him.

An episode of Renegade has Reno meet a man who claims to be Elvis. He looks and even sings similar, and Reno begins to have some doubts. After a while, he finds the man at an Elvis look-alike contest, complaining about this trope (he lost). Subverted in that it turns out that he isn't Elvis but Elvis's manager, who blames himself for the King's death.

Digimon:
Digimon Adventure: When Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon are kicked out of a pachinko place in "Out on the Town", the bouncer tells them that, if they're going to try sneaking in dressed as cartoon characters, they should at least try to get good costumes.
Digimon Tamers has Takato walking with Guilmon on the street at plain daylight. Nobody was alarmed because it was a real good life-size replica for a 10 year old. It's okay, a dinosaur that snorts, talks, walks and spits fireballs is just a basic project to do for your average 10 year old. We're in Japan, after all.

In the third book of The Looking-Glass Wars trilogy, "Arch Enemy", Redd (the Queen of Hearts) tries to return to her old mountain stronghold... only to discover it's been turned into a tourist attraction whose proceeds go toward promoting the principles of White Imagination (as opposed to the darker Black Imagination Redd favors). And while she did use a piece of cloth to disguise herself, the man in the ticket booth fails to realize who she is even after she balks at having to pay "to get into [her] own home", and amusingly thinks she's pretending to be herself ("You do play the part, don't you?").

In Echo, the trope is used. The crew take a break at a rest stop and inform the staff that they are there on government work. However, thanks to the body-warping Phi-project, Ivy is too young and Julie is too beautiful to be taken as government employees and Vijay, the new tagalong member of the gang, is Indian. The staff is now convinced they are serving M. Night Shyamalan and a movie crew, despite all claims to the contrary.

In a Halloween episode of Dark Angel, several of the cast (who were transgenic supersoldiers with barcodes on their necks) tried to pass for people dressed as... transgenic supersoldiers with barcodes on their necks. The response to the costumes varied, some were considered cool, others unoriginal, and some normal humans were using the same costume. The transgenics were actually what they were cosplaying as, and using it as a cover, but some were still told it needed work. Also played with where one transgenic, a lizard man bred to fight in the desert, doesn't quite get it, goes around with a football helmet on as his costume, saying he's Joe Namath.

In an episode of Grimm, a Löwen (a lion-faced Wesen) ringmaster is running a traveling circus whose greatest show is him revealing realistic-looking monsters (all of whom are, of course, Wesen in "full woge"). Naturally, while people are impressed, they assume it's all very realistic-looking masks. The star of the show is a Blutbad named Max. He goes for a walk, and two women who saw the show invite him to their place to see "the monster". They discuss how it's a very realistic mask... then he goes "full woge" on them.

On Reign, Mary and Catherine end up getting lost and finding themselves in a small village. They soon see a pair of con artists posing as Mary and Francis, taking advantage of how most in the country have never actually seen their rulers. Meeting the imposter Mary in private, Catherine says she knows she's a fraud... as she and Mary are "mother and daughter" who pull the same con posing as Mary and Catherine. The imposter Mary laughs on how it's not bad although she knows she makes a much better Mary and that "the real Catherine looks so much older."

An episode of the Polish comic Kajko i Kokosz has both heroes, medieval Slavic warriors, transported to present day where they stumble into a movie set of a historical drama film about their adventures. The film's main characters are completely unlike them, and when someone suggests that the two strange-dressed arrivals might serve as stuntmen for the lead characters, the director laughs them off; after all, they look nothing like the "real" Kajko and Kokosz!

The Simpsons:
Played with in "$pringfield (or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)", in which Bart is forced to find a last-minute replacement act for his treehouse casino, because "the Liza Minelli impersonator we hired turned out to be the real Liza Minelli".
In "Itchy and Scratchy Land", Homer and Marge visit a 1970s-themed disco:
In "Simple Simpson", no one believes Homer can be Pie Man even after he reveals himself, having built him up into an urban legend. Subverted when Marge says she has always known Homer was Pie Man, Homer asks if it was the kiss that filled her in, but Marge replies she knew because it was obviously him in the costume and you'd have it be an idiot not to see that.
In the "Treehouse of Horror XVI" segment "I've Grown a Costume on Your Face", Springfield held a costume contest and a woman dressed as a witch won but was disqualified for being an actual witch (the prize had to go to someone who, technically, was wearing a costume). In retaliation, she cursed everyone into being whatever their costumes made them look like.
In the opening of "Treehouse of Horror XX", at Halloween, Frankenstein's Monster, Count Dracula, a Mummy and a Werewolf decided to pose as people dressed as themselves but were mocked for impersonating old-fashioned characters, so they bought real costumes anyway.

Zig-zagged in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, where at one point B.J. steals the identity of an actor named Jules Redfield to infiltrate a casting call to play the role of "Terror Billy"... that is, himself. He flubs an initial line-reading, causing Hitler to comment that he could learn much from another actor who nails the reading. Then comes time for a mock battle with a fully-armored guard, and the first actor panics over a light nosebleed after taking a small smack to the face, and he's laughed off (and also shot)... and then B.J. steps in and straight-up murders the guard, emptying his own gun into him, smashing his corpse repeatedly with it, then throwing it at the glass and threatening to do the same to every other Nazi in the world without a care that by all rights this should have blown his cover. They eat it up, with Hitler specifically praising him for being so attuned to the psychotic urges of "Terror Billy", and he gets the part.

Played with when The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers one day notice the fourth wall, discovering there's a comic strip starring them. They promptly decide on complete wardrobe makeovers to avoid association with the idiots on the printed page. That evening they find their local watering hole is holding a Freak Brothers lookalike contest with a cash prize, and can't find appropriate clothes.

Miraculous Ladybug:
In "Horrificator", the class is making a monster movie for a contest, only to be interrupted by one of them turning into an actual monster (as is usual). Nino manages to get their battle with her on tape and edits it into their film... only for Mayor Bourgeois, who's a judge, to reject the project from entering. He thinks the monster looks too fake.
In "Frightningale", Marinette and Adrien end up playing their superhero selves in a music video. While everyone else praises the costumes (which actually were not their real magic suits, but were so similar that both removed their masks) and some acknowledge a resemblance, they decide that the pair's awkward mannerisms make them nothing like Ladybug and Cat Noir. In this case, it was self-invoked so as to protect their secret identities.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987):
Raphael won a ticket for a costume party cruise and went as... himself. A pompous aristocrat dressed as one of the Turtles complained that Raph was trying to upstage his expensive high-quality costume with a cheap knock-off.
Another episode had all four Turtles attending a Channel 6 costume party as themselves and giving out pseudonyms. Some people compliment them on their lifelike costumes — except Vernon, who actually knows the Turtles and says these guys look nothing like them.

In The Amazing Spider-Man (Lee & Ditko) #12, Spidey tries to save his then-girlfriend, Betty Brant, from Doctor Octopus while suffering from the flu. He is easily defeated and unmasked, with Ock beating him down with his bare hands... and his poor showing convinces Doc Ock, the hostage, and the other witnesses that he isn't Spider-Man but just Peter Parker making a brave but very foolish effort to save her.

In a Vegas-based episode of Roseanne, the Conners have to settle for seeing a Wayne Newton impersonator rather than the real deal, but Newton himself shows up partway through the show and takes over. Roseanne is out of the room for his entrance, and comes back (drunk) to heckle what she thinks is a bad impersonator. ("He doesn't even have a mustache!")

Darkwing Duck:
The title character was told he was much too short and his costume could never be confused for the "real Darkwing Duck" when attending a costume party with his neighbors. It's always been established that they aren't too bright.
In the Real-World Episode "Twitching Channels", Darkwing and Megavolt invert this trope by complaining that their images in the popular cartoon series Darkwing Duck get their noses wrong (Darkwing complains that his beak, as drawn, is big enough to land fighter planes on).

In the movie Badlands Rumble, Vash attempts to use his reputation as an outlaw to avoid getting kicked out of a bar by Meryl. After a Beat, everyone in the bar bursts out laughing. It helps that the diminutive Meryl had just dragged him across the room by his ear, taking the impact away from anything he could've said. Vash greatly enjoys the mixup.

Carp, believing that she's Erika, drags her back to the dress shop she runs. When Anneliese tries to assert her true identity, Carp sneers at her and mockingly asks if she thinks just changing her hair will make her look like the princess.

In the Inuyasha manga, chapter 520, Inuyasha shows up on a present-day Tokyo train as he usually appears, haori, sword, ears and hair and all. Some of the innocent bystanders think he is cosplaying, but say that he's not a very good cosplayer. This makes sense since not many manga exist inside their own worlds. So, even if it was Sesshoumaru in his brother's place, he could as well be given the same treatment (after all, some people do cosplays of their own Original Generation characters, which gives some bystanders the right to point flaws in them).

Upon discovering a high-class Nightmare Night masquerade party, Rarity has them crash the party by pretending to be themselves (with Twilight pretending to be a pegasus pretending to be her). Plenty of this trope ensues, along with disturbing revelations about what several non-Ponyville ponies think they know about the Mane Six, mostly courtesy of tabloids.

Played with in episode 18 of S1 of Beyblade. Tyson returns home briefly after winning the Chinese Beyblade Tournament. When he sees that the local kids have picked up playing Beyblade, he comments on two girls beyblading. When asked who he is, they don't believe he's the real Tyson, commenting that the Tyson on TV is far cuter. However, in this case, it's justified as Tyson is set to head to America to compete in the American Tournament. Most people assumed he was already in America or heading there (Including his friends from his home town)and therefore he couldn;t be the real deal. This is subverted in V-Force were whenever any of the Bladebreakers talk with the kids in Tysons town,or whenever Tyson plays or partakes in local shop tournaments as celebrity challenger, the kids there immediately recognize them and are thrilled to meet/play against them.

Comedian, actor, and professional poker player Gabe Kaplan (best known from Welcome Back, Kotter) recounted a similar story when he appeared on Just For Laughs in the early 2000s, where he saw an impersonator playing him in a 1970s nostalgia stage show, and figured he could do a better job of playing himself. The show's producer told him that he was just being Gabe Kaplan, not doing Gabe Kaplan.

An episode of DuckTales (1987) had Gizmo Duck go to a convention where everyone was dressed as him. No one's believes he's the real guy and he tries to prove he is by showing the mechanics of his suit, which other people have as well.

In the pilot of Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015), Bumblebee gets called a "bad imitation of Bumblebee" by a pair of museum security guards. (It's because he's acting oddly, not because of his appearance, though.)

House, M.D.: In a meta example, the American Dr. House (played by the very British Hugh Laurie) calls a clinic posing as an English doctor and is told his accent is obviously fake. Justified in that Laurie was deliberately exaggerating his accent for the scene.

In Spider-Man 2 during an Uncomfortable Elevator Moment a man comments "Cool Spidey outfit", though Spider-Man himself notes that it's "itchy" and "rides up in the crotch a little bit". Justified, because why would the real Spider-Man need to use an elevator when he can crawl up buildings? note  He's doing it because his powers have been temporarily disrupted, but the man doesn't know that. In the Extended Cut, an alternate version of this scene is used where the man thinks Peter's the real deal and tries to suggest merchandising deals.

The Lucy Show:
Lucy recruits what she thinks is an Ethel Merman look-alike to sing in a Boy Scout fund-raiser, in an effort to live up to her inflated promise about getting the famed star to participate. Needless to say, the real Ms. Merman decides to go along with the charade, considering it's for a worthy cause, and allows Lucy to "teach her to sing like Ethel Merman."
In one episode, Lucy convinces some neighbors to install a shower for her. Instead, they hire a professional plumber, introducing him as a handy friend. Lucy spends most of her conversation with the plumber commenting on professional plumbers, and how he looks nothing like a professional plumber, even when he says it point blank.

In MOTHER: Cognitive Dissonance, on Saturn before Bowfest '8X, you play as Zarbol and another insectoid in a UFO named Boson, who is bringing the group their instruments to play for the crowd. As Colonel Saturn approaches them and says they are nearly ready to play, a fanboy Shambler approaches them and tells the Colonel that his own hat is off and fights them for the chance to play at their own show. After he gets trounced, he says they'd make an acceptable cover band.

Invoked in the first InCryptid book by the Fish and Strips, the club where Verity waits tables. Nearly everyone who works there is a cryptid, but the bar's shtick is cute monster girls and they all wear obviously fake costume pieces, which makes their very real nonhuman attributes seem just as fake.

Subverted when Camila sees Vee's true form for the first time. They initially think that the basilisk is someone in a costume and starts to compliment it on being well made, but then trails off as they slowly realize that it's too good to be a costume.
Then again when King meets the Titan Catchers. He assumes them to be of his own species, while they assume him to be what they are; ordinary people dressing up as the Titans. Bill gushes to Luz about how good his costume is, which tips her off what he's in danger.

In the Dragon Magazine article "The Ecology of the Troglodyte", the Framing Story is a wizard describing to his fellows how he used a spell to occupy a troglodyte's body in order to learn more about them. Throughout his story, a heckler in the audience criticizes the illusions he uses to illustrate his findings. At the end, the wizard admits he was unable to reverse the spell, and has been using magic to animate his unconscious body from the "illusionary" troglodyte.

In Gwenpool Holiday Special: Merry Mixup, Deadpool stumbles upon a Halloween "Deadpool Costume Contest" full of pretend-Deadpools of varying believability. Predictably, he's mistaken for a poor impersonator. The contest is also hosted by Squirrel Girl, who's deliberately pretending to be dressed up as herself, and there's a guy dressed up as Leather Boy (the guy who killed Squirrel Girl's first sidekick, Monkey Joe) only to turn out to be the real deal (and attending so he can off her current sidekick, Tippy Toe, because he's frankly completely crazy). She's convinced that Deadpool's the real deal after he saves Tippy Toe, but since it wouldn't be fair to the impersonators who put in actual effort in their costumes, she gives him a "Minimum Effort" participation badge as reward instead.

An episode of Stargate SG-1 involves a Show Within a Show called Wormhole X-Treme! that was a low-budget knock-off of the actual show. During the episode, the crew complains that the script calls for a spaceship to appear during the episode but that the budget doesn't allow for that. At the end, the crew is filming outside, when an actual massive starship descends through the clouds and hovers right above them. The camera guy is told to film it. At the end, two crew members discuss how fake the ship looked and mentioning that they'll fix it in post.

Avatar: The Last Airbender:
In "The Serpent's Pass", Aang tries to get his group free passage on the ferry to Ba Sing Se. The woman taking tickets doesn't find his Avatar costume any more believable than those in the nearby group of impersonators. For some reason, he never considers just airbending to prove who he is instead.
Naturally, in "The Ember Island Players", a kid tells Zuko his "Zuko costume" is great, but his scar's on the wrong side of his face. In the kid's defense, the Zuko character in the play they're watching had it backwards, so technically - if he was cosplaying as Zuko, the character, not Zuko, the exiled prince - he did have it wrong.

In Sword Art Online Abridged, when Kirito eventually joins Alfheim Online, nobody recognizes him as the famous "Black Swordsman" and "Hero of Aincrad" who made such a name for himself during the Sword Art Online disaster. It turns out the entire Spriggan faction is/was comprised of Kirito fanboys who copied his look and went so far to use nearly every permutation of his preferred Online Alias (forcing him to enter the game as "xvx_K1r1t0_xvx_KillMe"), so anyone who meets the real Kirito assumes he's another of his imitators.

In Mass Effect 3, during the Citadel DLC, if you bring Javik along to the Silver Coast Casino infiltration, when Shepard needs a distraction so s/he can disable a camera blocking his/her progress, Javik goes up to a guard and says that he's a Prothean. The guard responds that Javik is the fourth one he's seen this week alone, but his costume's better than the rest. Something similar happens if he's around when you meet Kirrahe at a salarian intelligence base; he thinks Javik is a surgically altered drell meant to screw with the Reapers.

The Nanny did a similar one with Marvin Hamlisch guest starring as Fran's old music teacher who looks remarkably like Marvin Hamlisch.
In another episode, Fran is in Atlantic City and runs into Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme by a poster advertising their engagement that night. Fran thinks they're impersonators, even when they start singing, and begins telling them how their performance should be. Humorously, after Fran leaves them, Steve talks to Eydie about how Fran is correct about one of her points ("She's right, you do need to look at me adoringly." "I ALWAYS look at you adoringly!").
Hell, they used this trope... with Fran Drescher, playing herself. Specifically, in the penultimate episode, Fran and Niles meet the real Fran checking into a Hollywood hotel; they admit to being fans of...The Nanny and tell Drescher that their favorite characters are naturally themselves. Fake! Fran is also shocked that Real! Fran's voice actually sounds like that nasal. It gets even weirder when, in an aversion of Celebrity Paradox, Fran Drescher tells Fran Fine to tune in for the big series finale of The Nanny next week.
Real Life example: Some fans believe the actor portraying Maxwell Sheffield doesn't sound British, and suggested he learn from the actor portraying Niles. Sheffield is the one portrayed by an actual Brit.
In one first-season episode, Maxwell, distracted by problems at home, turns away dozens of women auditioning for a new Broadway show. He complains that he's looking for a big-name Broadway veteran with a ton of experience and an instantly recognizable voice... and that's when Carol Channing shows up. She gets one note of "Hello, Dolly," her Signature Song, out before Max shouts "NEXT!"

Batman:
In a classic '70s era story, "The Batman Nobody Knows", Bruce Wayne takes some inner-city kids on a camping trip, and around the campfire, the subject of Batman comes up. As Bruce listens, the kids describe what they think Batman's like (one calls him a demon, another claims that he's Shaft-meets-Superfly). Bruce then emerges from the woods in his Batman costume, and the kids reply, "Yeah, nice costume, Mr. Wayne, but you ain't no Batman!" It's not so much that his costume needs work: at the end, Bruce wonders why he didn't get the reaction he intended. He realizes that it's because the kids are innocent, and they have nothing to fear from Batman.
Inverted in the third issue of Batman, Inc:
Same thing happens in All-Star Batman #11, where the Penguin and his cohorts chide Batman for his supposedly subpar Bruce Wayne "disguise."

In an episode of Drake & Josh, Josh keeps getting attacked because he looks an awful lot like a criminal called the 'Theater Thug'. Later, Josh later comes face to face with the real deal and the police show up. Guess who they tackle.

The entire premise of the game show To Tell the Truth was for a semi-famous or notable person to be paired with two impostors, and the contestants had to figure out which was the real one. They often got it wrong. It usually used people who might be known by name or reputation, but not by appearance, to the panelists doing the guessing (the founder of a company or organization, an inventor, or a very minor author, for example). The two impostors were also similar in age and appearance to the real person. The show was famously pranked by professional prankster Joey Skaggs, who sent an impostor in his place. Skaggs pulls the impostor-as-him trick so often that the impostor knows pretty much everything about him, and what he makes up at least sounds plausible...

Larry Kenny, the voice of Lion-O from ThunderCats, once met two boys at a Toys 'R' Us who were arguing about which ThunderCats action figure to get. He introduced himself, and in his Lion-O voice, told them to get a Lion-O action figure. As he walked away, the boys said he didn't sound anything like Lion-O.

Inverted for comedy in Galaxy Quest. The Thermians generally do a terrible job of impersonating humans, with unnaturally pale skin, silver jumpsuits, and extreme Cloud Cuckoolander tendencies. But since they're hanging around a sci-fi convention, they blend in perfectly. Further played with in the finale at the convention, when the ACTUAL Sarris appears from the wreckage of the ACTUAL crashed spaceship, and is promptly shot by an actor (in-character as Jason Taggart) using a Thermian ray gun constructed in imitation of a prop (which didn't work, of course...) to the wild applause of the audience, most costumed as various Star Trek parodies, who think the whole thing is a stage performance...

In A Man of Iron Book 4, worried no one in the North will believe Arya has undergone a Plot-Relevant Age-Up to almost 20, Mystique transforms herself into how Arya was before. Arya snaps that no one will believe this as Mystique looks far too pretty, lacks muscles, her hair is too sleek, her voice isn't high-pitched and screechy and too tall. Everyone else just smirks as Mystique looks exactly like what Arya used to.

A famous example occurs in the Will & Grace episode "Gypsies, Tramps, and Weed." Jack gifts himself a Cher doll and treats it like the real thing, as Cher is his idol. Will, Grace, and Karen get fed up with his obsession and storm away, prompting Jack to soothe the doll. A voice then remarks that it's weird that Jack is talking to a toy. Said voice belongs to the real Cher, who just so happened to be nearby. Jack, of course, naturally assumes that she is "just some drag queen" (although he gives "him" credit for pulling off the look), and launches into his own Cher impression to give her tips. Cher tries singing "If I Could Turn Back Time" to prove her identity, but Jack takes this as another invitation to show off. It isn't until Cher slaps him across the face and says "Snap out of it" that he realizes that it's actually Cher... and he promptly faints dead away.

Girl Genius:
Subverted when Aaronev Sturmvoraus catches his son up on the play they were watching; he mentions a "hilariously bad midget in a cat suit." Sounds like he was talking about Krosp, right?. Well... no. Turns out there really was a midget in a cat suit.
Also deliberately invoked by Mama Gkika. Jägermonsters aren't allowed in Mechanicsburg, and she runs a club where the girls all make themselves up to look like Jägers. With all these fake Jäger girls, nobody notices the real ones in their midst.
Later, the crowd in the street is at first not convinced that Gilgamesh Wulfenbach is exactly who he says he is. At least, until he puts on the hat.
Agatha and the circus arrange a horde of Jägers, consisting mostly of actors, but lead by Da Boyz. One of the actors tells Dimo his make-up needs work.

The original 1942 version of To Be or Not to Be has an interesting inversion — the actor Bronski, cast as Hitler in a play just before the invasion of Poland, is told by the play's director that he cannot play a convincing Hitler. To prove it, he points to a portrait of Hitler on the set. He points out all the Hilter-like features of the painting contrasting them with Bronski's demeanor and looks, before Bronski points out that the portrait ''is'' actually himself dressed as Hitler. At that point, the director responds "well, then the portrait's wrong too."

Likewise when Hans Rotwood offered a reward for photos of a real dragon Jake gave him some photos of himself that Rotwood decried as fakes, but this time because they were too good, as most other Cryptozoology photos (e.g. Bigfoot◊ or Nessie◊) are blurry and taken from distance.

Peter Parker gets this response from Flash Thompson on Halloween when he goes from patrolling the city to showing up in front of his classmates in his costume. ("Puny Parker?! He looks nothing like Spider-Man!") Mary Jane Watson and Liz Allen on the other hand... feel that he fills out the costume quite nicely ("You can web me up anytime, Petey.").
When Eddie Brock is wheeled away screaming about how "WE ARE VENOM!" in "Identity Crisis", the onlooking Flash Thompson scoffs at this, saying, "Brock's lost it. Venom's, like, twice his size."

Dragon Ball Super likewise had a mini-arc where they were making a "Great Saiyaman vs. Mr. Satan" movie, and Satan (who knows Gohan's identity) got him cast as the Saiyaman's stunt double so he could get at least some small recognition for his heroics; the rest of the cast and crew just assumed he was doing his nerdy son-in-law a favor.

Pony POV Series: In the Finale Arc, Daring Do eventually shows up to assist against the crisis. Even after demonstrating her strength and fighting skills, almost everyone she runs into annoys her by calling her some nutty Daring Do cosplayer. In their defense, Daring Do had been established as a fictional character. Pandora, the Goddess of Imagination, recently brought her to life to help against the crisis.

In The Last Spartan a good chunk of people don't believe Master Chief is the real Master Chief, and that the armored grunt who has been made the first human Spectre is just some random soldier they put in similar armor as a publicity stunt. Ethan Jeong is the only one to personally call him out on his alleged impersonation so far though.

Codename: Sailor V: This happens twice to Minako Aino:
The first time she was mistaken for an impersonator trying to advertise the Sailor V Game (it helped it was her first public appearance, with most people who knew of her having only seen her on the Sailor V Game machine);
The second time she had just kicked down a youma that had assaulted her school's festival, and the first thing one of the victims said after recovering was to ask who was the crazy girl wearing a fake Sailor V costume.

In Exterminatus Now, Lothar uploads a video of Demon Morth getting killed by a Greater Demon online as "Extreme Badger Baiting". Several comments list it as "fake" with one even claiming you can see a zipper. And another asking how they did the CGI.
Meanwhile, one commenter on the comic wondered if since Morth's entire plan relied on getting followers by livestreaming his ascension, this reaction meant that it was doomed from the start. Author!Eastwood recognized that it was "a flaw in Morth's plan".

They meet Johnny Stompanato in a bar, accompanied by a woman. Exley, attempting to out-badass Vincennes, tells the woman that "A hooker who's cut to look like Lana Turner is still a hooker." Vincennes replies, "She is Lana Turner". Truth in Television, as the real-life Johnny Stompanato dated Lana Turner. Though a few years later than the film is set; the Rule of Funny means it still works.

Let's ignore the fact that Klug said Satan was a myth, but let's focus more on the fact he's saying that our green-haired villain is wearing a costume of a guy from an entirely different section of Puyo Puyo's history. Which he got from a book about another dimension. ...Unless he means the real Satan...

In the Horatio Hornblower short story "The Last Encounter", Hornblower, now retired to his estate, receives an evening visitor who claims to be Napoléon Bonaparte, asking for a carriage so he could go to France and run in the presidential election. "Napoleon" is taller than him, does not dress at all to resemble him and instead follows dandy fashions of the day, and doesn't have the correct accent, so Hornblower concludes that it's a case of Napoleon Delusion. Hornblower lends him a carriage (mostly because it amused him) but some weeks later he and his wife gets a letter from the new President of France, Napoleon Bonaparte the Third (nephew of the Trope Namer), graciously thanking them for the service they rendered, making this more a case of Exact Words (and perhaps Napoleon exploiting the Napoleon Delusion trope).

In Dave, the main character is a part-time presidential impersonator who ends up taking the real president's place. In one scene, he and the real First Lady are out in public, and he passes them off as a husband-and-wife impersonation act. Someone comments that his impersonation was fine, but "she needs a lot of work". Primarily because she looked lost and confused, while he was experienced as a performer.

Braveheart; "William Wallace is seven feet tall!" This may also be a nod to the real William Wallace, who was (inaccurately) estimated to be at least 6'8. This happened because someone looked at the sword traditionally said to have been his (though it almost certainly wasn't - it's from the wrong period) which is 66" long, compared it with the average knight's sword which is anything from 30" to 45", and concluded that you'd have to be at least 6' 8" to wield it. This is nonsense; the 'Wallace Sword' is a typical two-hand late medieval sword, widely used in 15th-century armies, which didn't include whole regiments of giants.

In the intro to the Call of Duty: Zombies map "Call of the Dead", George Romero is shooting a zombie action film when a real zombie shows up, missing its jaw and looking very gory. Romero's response is "Get back to Hair and Makeup, you don't look nearly dead enough!"

In the Empath: The Luckiest Smurf adaptation "The Smurf Impersonators", during the part of the story where Gargamel disguises himself as a Smurf, he tries to tell Sassette that he has been working on doing a perfect Gargamel impersonation to explain why he sounds like Gargamel. Sassette simply tells him that he doesn't sound quite as menacing as the real Gargamel.

In Amazing Fantasy, Peter gets mistaken for a Spider-Man impersonator instead of the real thing because Spider-Man is considered fictional in Izuku's universe. Because of this, the police refer to him as a "Spider-Man copycat" or a "Vigilante dressed as Spider-Man" and mistake his webshoosters for a web-producing Quirk despite people on site clearly seeing that he stopped a careening truck.

The incredibly jaded townspeople are not impressed, saying they get bothered by Hercules impostors five times a week. While Iolaus is offended, Hercules shrugs and tries to finish his drink. Some men say they've had enough of the impostors and attack them. In the ensuing Bar Brawl, Hercules and Iolaus prove to the stunned townspeople that they are the real deal with Hercules' Super-Strength and their incredible fighting skills.

South Park:
In one episode, Satan throws a Halloween party, and at one point starts to complain to what he thinks is a guy dressed as Steve Irwin, complete with a stingray embedded in his chest, telling him the costume is in bad taste so soon after Irwin's death. When the guy protests that he's actually the real Steve Irwin, Satan then throws him out of the party for not wearing a costume.
A very early episode features Mr. Garrison auditioning to play Mr. Garrison in an America's Most Wanted reenactment of a crime he witnessed. He didn't get the part.
In one of the Halloween episodes, Kenny wore an insanely elaborate ED-209 costume and got frustrated every time someone immediately identified him through the costume. This being an early-series episode, he ended up getting tripped and blown up by tiny Rebel snowspeeders.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the president of Luigi's fan club wants to meet the man in green personally. If you wear the L Emblem, changing Mario's shirt and cap to green, she'll be convinced that Mario is Luigi and offer him a present... just in time for the real Luigi to show up and get chased off as an impostor. Which is particularly jarring since green Mario still has the "M" on his hat. It's also a Call-Back to the days where Luigi was nothing more than a color-swapped Mario. It was only later that he got his own design, becoming taller and thinner than Mario.

In an episode of Mork & Mindy, Mork decided to reveal his existence as an alien to a tabloid reporter who was offering a reward for anyone who could prove the existence of extra-terrestrial life. Mindy and her father, hoping to save Mork from becoming the subject of a media freakshow, both claimed to be aliens to draw the reporter away from Mork. In the end, the reporter angrily scoffed at the obviously fake aliens, saying that Mork was the least-convincing of the three.

In the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Buffy vs. Dracula", the Monster of the Week introduces himself:
"Actually, Billy Idol stole his look from... never mind."
Angel pulls this on himself in "Lie To Me" when complaining about vampire fanboys, saying that they can never get the right look to appear genuine. Right on cue, a fanboy dressed identical to Angel walks by.
The Scoobies catch sight of the Initiative commandos on Halloween during "Fear, Itself", but think they're more people playing dress-up.
Although he's not being himself specifically, one episode of Angel has Lorne being told that he got the forehead wrong on his costume.

In Empowered the title character finds that the only job she can get is with a group of superhero impersonators impersonating herself. Nobody realizes that it's really her until she ends up having to save the group from several supervillains who had kidnapped them in order to blackmail the REAL superhero team. In this case, she really is wearing a poor replica of her real costume.
In a semi-related example, Major Havoc once wrote fanfiction about himself and posted it anonymously, figuring that nobody could get his character down better than the real deal. Cue several reader comments on how bad and unrealistic the characterization was, including one (which, on a reread, you realize is from Empowered's alter ego) claiming it "inexcusably ignores the Homoerotic Subtext that makes the Major such a compelling and intriguing subject."

This happens to Gohan in Dragon Ball Z when he interrupts filming in a movie about the Great Saiyaman. The director and actors mistake him for a meddling stunt double. They only realize it's the real deal when, after being rejected, he flies away — dragging a huge crane behind him, no less.
Dragon Ball Super likewise had a mini-arc where they were making a "Great Saiyaman vs. Mr. Satan" movie, and Satan (who knows Gohan's identity) got him cast as the Saiyaman's stunt double so he could get at least some small recognition for his heroics; the rest of the cast and crew just assumed he was doing his nerdy son-in-law a favor.

Lenny Kravitz was once detained by police in Miami on suspicion of robbing a bank. He didn't have his ID with him, and the Miami police did not believe him when he told them who he was. After the bank manager cleared him, the Miami police came to his home personally to apologize. He wrote the song "Bank Robber Man" about the incident, which appeared on his 2001 album Lenny.

The Batman: Inverted in "Grundy's Night" when a Halloween partygoer assumes Batman is a guy in costume, but thinks the costume is great. Batman plays along with this and asks if he's seen a "friend" of his in a Solomon Grundy costume (seeing as he's looking for the real one).

I Love Lucy:
In the episode "Don Juan Gets Shelved", Lucy wants to hire an actor to play a producer trying to steal Ricky to convince an MGM producer not to fire him. Unbeknownst to her, the very producer she wants to fool overhears her plight and volunteers himself as an actor. Lucy is reluctant to hire him because he doesn't look the part at all, corrects his wardrobe, and coaches him on how to sound important and act like a producer and never feels she makes any progress.
In another episode, Lucy spots Charles Boyer in a Paris cafe, but Ricky convinces him to tell her that he's just a look-a-like. She later persuades this "false" Boyer to play the real one in an attempt to impress Ricky and the Mertzes, instructing him on how to be a more convincing Boyer as he doesn't quite have the same passion.

Discussed in Infinity Train: Voyage of Wisteria. The Red Lotus Quarto — Lexi, Atticus, Amelia and Hazel — need to enter the Canals of Fondue Car to get to Goh, except the entire car is going to be filled with cosplayers dressed up as them (but replacing Hazel with Chloe) in celebration for their victory against the Apex. Sashay of the Fashion Runway car states that the bets way to blend in is to have a few "flaws" in their appearances and no one will bat an eyelash. Indeed, Atticus covers his crown with a paper replica, Amelia cuts her hair short and Lexi's current attire — a kyorinrin — is so recent that no one notices.

In the Young Avengers Amerikate fic "I don't wanna be your superman," Kate Bishop goes to a convention "cosplaying" in her actual Hawkeye outfit. She meets America Chavez, who makes a point of criticizing her costume. It turns out America knew who she was all along, but still considers it a terrible cosplay due to the total lack of effort.

A recurring character in It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time is an annoying Avengers fanboy who refuses to believe that Tony and Clint (and later, Sam and Dean) are the real deal. The first time he appears, Tony and Clint get so annoyed by him they destroy Comic-Con; the second (and last) time, he annoys Castiel, who proceeds to send him straight to Hell... only for Crowley to get so annoyed by him that he sends him back. The guy then gets sent to an insane asylum. Ironically, he actually complimented Cas' "costume".

On I Dream of Jeannie, Jeannie throws a party for some old friends, all of whom are great figures of history. Bellows shows up at the house unexpectedly and, assuming it's a costume party, tells Henry VIII that he has overdone it with the fat padding.

At one point in My Side of the Mountain, after he's been living in the woods for a while, Sam makes a foray into town, wearing one of his deerskin suits. He meets another boy, who assumes he's into the Davy Crockett/cowboys-and-Indians trend (the book was written in the late fifties) and tells him his outfit looks totally fake, sarcastically asking if he chewed the leather himself (Sam responds that he actually ended up softening most of it by hitting it against a rock, only chewing a little around the neck).

In Season 3 episode 4 of Happy Heroes, to make a lie he told about the existence of a people on Planet Xing called the Blue Stars convincing, Smart S. hires someone to paint actors the necessary colors. When that person sees the partially blue-colored Monster of the Week, he thinks he's one of the actors and complains about the quality of his costume before the monster angrily shouts that it isn't a costume.

When Law & Order: UK premiered, some viewers criticized Jamie Bamber's British accent, having assumed Bamber was an American after watching him for the past four years on Battlestar Galactica (2003). Bamber is in fact British (though he has US citizenship thanks to his father being American) and needless to say, the British accent is the real one.
