{{quote|...Ganondorf has an exceptionally unique case of unibrow, in which his eyebrows connect clearly with his hair, thus forming one very long eyebrow. This puts the typical unibrow (one that connects in the middle of one's face above the nose) to shame...
|''The Urban Dictionary''}}

Ah, the Unibrow. Not generally considered the most attractive kind of facial hair on the market. So like most kinds of unfashionable/unattractive appearance, characters sporting one are mostly consigned to being either [[Beauty Equals Goodness|evil]], or [[Gonk|comical]].

* '''Type I:''' If a character has a unibrow, they're either evil, conniving, scummy, or have some defining negative trait.
* '''Type II''' pretty much just boils down to "unibrows are funny".

A Subtrope of [[Unusual Eyebrows]] and [[Good Hair, Evil Hair]].


{{examples}}
== Big Ol' Evil Unibrow (formerly called "Type I") ==
* Count Olaf from ''[[A Series of Unfortunate Events]]'', as we are reminded of every book.
* Helga Pataki of ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'' has a large unibrow which runs in the family. With the exception of Olga, the family itself isn't very noble, and Helga is constantly threatening everyone around her (often times following through with her threats), despite her stalkerrific crush on the lead character.
* The [[Creepy Twins|Twins]] in ''[[Superjail]]!'', who are constantly plotting.
* Squilliam Fancyson, Squidward's [[Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up|childhood rival]] on ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]''.
* Control Freak of ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]''; however, he is a rather pathetic villain, so this could be combination of the two types.
* As shown in the picture, [[The Simpsons (animation)|Maggie Simpson's]] nemesis.
* Mr. Grumpy and Mr. Stubborn from ''[[The Mr. Men Show]]'', are two of the more negative personality characters, and the only two to have unibrows.
* Doctor Drakken from ''[[Kim Possible]]'', much like the abovementioned Control Freak.
* Ryou Mashiba from ''[[Hajime no Ippo]]'', the local [[Heroic Sociopath]].
* [[World Wrestling Entertainment|Professional wrestler]] Santino Marella, an Italian [[Funny Foreigner]].
* From ''[[Saint Seiya]]'' we got [http://img469.imageshack.us/img469/2390/wyvernradamanthyskyotoebg5.jpg Wyvern Radamanthys]. He also has the dubious distinction of being one of the [[Bishonen|best looking]] characters displaying this particular trait.
* Captain McGillicutty in ''[[Tales of Monkey Island]]''.
* Despite being a robot, Megatron of ''[[Transformers]]'' Generation 1 had a evil large unibrow.
* General Molotov from ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]''.
* [[Bone|Phoney Bone]], not especially evil, but more than often a [[Jerkass]].
* In Salman Rushdie's novel ''Midnight's Children,'' there's a scene in a Moslem neighborhood in Delhi, India, where an 8-year-old girl with one eyebrow starts a riot against a Hindu.
* In [[The Company of Wolves]], Rosaleen is reminded by her grandmother to beware men whose eyebrows meet - because they're [[Fantastic Aesop|werewolves.]]

== Big Ol' Funny Unibrow (formerly called "Type II") ==
* Fran Stalinovskovichdavidovitchsky from ''[[Dodgeball]].''
* The man whose eyebrows are connected and who has a gold tooth, in ''[[EarthBound]]''. Granted, he's also [[Invisibility|invisible]], so you have to take his word for it.
* [[The Far Side|Gary Larson]], when he wasn't giving his characters glasses, was generally drawing their eyes simply as a thick line.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q81NFaRjp5s This] Superbowl ad.
* Bert from ''[[Sesame Street]]''.
* Vakama in ''[[Bionicle]]'':''The Mask of Light''.
* [[Meaningful Name|Una Brau]], {{spoiler|Frau Farbissina's seen-once lesbian lover}} in [[Austin Powers]]: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
* Ed from [[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]] is a Type II.
* So is [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=72475 Ed Generic] from [[Everyday Heroes]].
* The Todd gets one for a one-off visual joke in ''[[Scrubs]]''. His waxer was in the Bahamas.
* Satoshi Horio, [[The Chew Toy]] from [[The Prince of Tennis]].
* Henchman 24 from ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' is described by 21 as "Jerry Seinfeld with a unibrow".
* Groundskeeper Willie from ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''
* King Bob from ''[[Recess]]''.
* Daggett in ''[[The Angry Beavers]]''.
* Spanky Ham in ''[[Drawn Together]]''.
* [[Wallace and Gromit]]: Gromit, being a dog, has no (extra) hair on his brow, but its constant animation can give him this appearance. It conveys ''everything'' he feels, more effectively than words could, really.
* Ryotsu from [[Kochikame]].
* Major <s>Monobrow</s> Monogram from [[Phineas and Ferb]].
* Francine has one in [[American Dad]]. Typically she waxes it, save for one episode where she let it grow in.
* WWE's Santino Marella sports one, and he's one of the funniest guys on the roster, Face or Heel.
* There's a superhero in ''[[Empowered]]'' who's even named Unibrow. Of course this trope applies to him. {{spoiler|We don't learn much about him, except that he's a Superdead.}}
* Both the Irish cop and Leslie Clark the salesman in the Disney short ''Duck Pimples.''

== [[Real Life]] ==
* Frida Kahlo is famous for her self portraits that emphasize her large bushy unibrow. Rare in that it is not villainous or comical, but rather is valued for its artistic value and redefinition of beauty.
** Kahlo was actually rather classically attractive. She just [[Accentuate the Negative|Accentuated The Negative]] whenever it came to drawing herself due to a bad self-image.
* Poppy from Lola and Virginia. Instead of being evil or comedy, she's one of the main character's two best friends. Visually the unibrow is played as part of her tough, tomboy image. But plotwise it's not really an issue and isn't even pointed out by the other characters.
* Akaishi in ''[[Cross Game]]''. Neither evil nor funny, his unibrow is just there.
* Chi McBride. He usually plays likeable characters though.
* Brazilian writer [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lWPlgIw47hk/TarVeYz_jsI/AAAAAAAAATs/OIJv13yxuCk/s1600/Monteiro_Lobato.jpg Monteiro Lobato].
* Anthony Davis, a member of the recent{{when}} NCAA champion team, the UK Wildcats, is known for his unibrow. So much so that there is merchandise relating to it ("Bow to the Brow"; "Fear the Brow") and they have even ''redecorated the mascot'' to give it a unibrow.
