  1. Undercover Miss Hong poster

    Closest match

    Netflix · Jan 17, 2026

    Undercover Miss Hong

    Why this fits: Undercover Miss Hong delivers the same identity-concealment comedy engine as Chad Powers, where the joke depends on keeping up a cover under constant risk of being found out. In a late-90s securities office, Hong’s age-disguise collides with workplace hierarchy and suspicious money, turning every meeting into a pressure-cooker for her fake persona.

  2. Fisk poster

    Direct match

    Netflix · Aug 20, 2025

    Fisk

    IMDb 7.9

    Why this fits: Fisk brings the same fast, humiliation-fueled workplace pressure as Chad Powers, with comedy built from a character trying to stay in control while everyone else sees the truth. A status-proud professional gets shoved into a humiliating downgrade, and the rapid-fire dialogue and cringe moments mirror the way Chad’s false identity keeps him one slip away from embarrassment.

    • workplace comedy
    • cringe humor
  3. SPY x FAMILY poster

    Direct match

    Hulu · Oct 4, 2025

    SPY x FAMILY

    IMDb 8.2

    Why this fits: SPY x FAMILY shares Chad Powers’ love of deception that has to be maintained in public, with laughs coming from characters juggling secrets while trying to keep daily life normal. The family’s layered spy lies create constant tension in school and home scenes, and the warmth of their bond makes the danger feel lighter, more intimate, and more action-forward.

  4. Hanaori-san Still Wants to Fight in the Next Life poster

    Deeper cut

    Crunchyroll Premium · Jul 11, 2026

    Hanaori-san Still Wants to Fight in the Next Life

    IMDb 7.4
    Why this fits

    Chad Powers turns false-name hijinks into exposure risk comedy, with sports team tryout deception that keeps embarrassment and rivalry spiraling. Hanaori-san Still Wants to Fight in the Next Life swaps the locker-room for awkward school life and teacher student rivalry, adding deflated villain comedy and slow-burn romantic tension instead of team chaos.

    • deflated villain comedy
    • awkward school life
    • teacher student rivalry
  5. Everyone Is Doing Great poster

    Deeper cut

    Netflix · May 11, 2026

    Everyone Is Doing Great

    IMDb 7.0
    Why this fits

    Chad Powers delivers sports team chaos through college locker-room tryout deception and identity concealment comedy, where getting found out costs social standing fast. Everyone Is Doing Great keeps the focus on male friendship and awkward self-delusion after post-peak careers, trading team exposure for life-and-love awkwardness and mutual dependency.

    • post-peak career comedy
    • male friendship
    • awkward self-delusion
  6. The Apartment Job poster

    Deeper cut

    Netflix · Jul 11, 2026

    The Apartment Job

    IMDb 7.1
    Why this fits

    Chad Powers thrives on false-name hijinks and exposure risk comedy, where the pressure of being recognized keeps the whole crew improvising. The Apartment Job goes for a dry dark workplace rivalry with high-speed con and deception revenge, so the consequences feel more like a corruption caper than college tryout embarrassment.

    • high-speed con
    • dry dark comedy
    • workplace rivalry
