Cheshire Cat Grin: Difference between revisions

 

 

'''<s> Albireo</s> [[Loveable Sex Maniac|Ku:Nel Sanders]]:''' I get told that a lot...|''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''}}

 

* Dee Laytner, from the ''[[FAKE]]'' manga and anime, is a good example of a grin with sexual overtones, while he's plotting how to seduce Ryo. Occasionally, Dee's expression is downright scary, and it leads Ryo to comment, "You're grinning like the Cheshire Cat."

* Washu of ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]!'', usually right before she's about to stuff Tenchi into some machine or another.

** Shinji Hirako has an [http://manga.animea.net/bleach-chapter-184-page-8.html even more classic version of a cheshire cat grin].

* Ichihara Yuko from ''[[xxxHolic]]'' has a grin that can roughly be summed up in words as: "Not only do I know something you don't know, but it's going to bite you in the ass in a ''very'' [[Hilarity Ensues|amusing fashion]]." Despite this, it's when she appears ''serious'' that should really scare Watanuki. This is because Yuko's Cheshire cat grin simply means she's going to make him do all the laundry, whereas the latter expression is usually a forecast of man-eating crow demons or similar.

* Talk show host/Comedian Jay Leno always seems to have one of these on his face.

* Theo ''[[Kojak]]'' pulls out one of these at least every couple of episodes.

** River Song is fond of it, too.

{{quote|'''[[Television Without Pity]] [http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/doctor_who/the_pandorica_opens_a.php?page{{=}}2 recap]:''' I think part of the actual -- not the endlessly explicit and told-not-shown, but the actual, the perceivable -- charm of River is her lovely smile when she's doing something ''really awful.'' }}

* ''[[Mario & Luigi]]'': Fawful's face seems to be permanently frozen into this expression. Whether he's dropping a giant rock on our heroes, fighting them off in a mech, selling them badges, {{spoiler|or mutated by the power of a [[Sealed Evil in a Can]] into a freaky bug thing}}, he always has a giant toothy grin on his face.

* ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'': Good ol' Dimentio's mask/face is always curled up into an unnerving smirk. Although, to be fair, he was never even trying to be on the heroes' side to begin with, so no mystery there. {{spoiler|Beyond that, it was more so when he ended up possessing the final boss, though that arguably made his joyful look even more unsettling.}}

** Hazama/Terumi Yuuki sports several smiles that almost never leave his face, but simply tag each other. His default smile is a Cheshire smile with closed eyes, yet with no reassuring kindness in the expression. When his [[Psycho Smirk|smile]] shows his [[Eyes of Gold]] you better start running, 'cuz it might very well be your last chance at getting away with your life. If his [[Slasher Smile|smile]] shows teeth, [[Fist of the North Star|you're already dead]].

* Dee Jay from ''[[Street Fighter]]'' smiles because [[Fun Personified|he's an almost always happy dude]], but the type of smile he has is this one.

* On ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'', [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|shapeshifter]] Nergal Junor replaces the teacher in order to get revenge on the class bully Sperg. "Ms. Butterbean" approaches the bully with a smile that starts as a [[Psychotic Smirk]] and quicky grows in width, as well as tooth size and sharpness, until it's grinning fanged maw ''as wide her head''. Cue [[Nightmare Fuel]]. And a change of underwear.

* [[Played for Laughs]] on the ''[[Dexter's Laboratory|Dexters Laboratory]]'' sub-series ''Justice Friends''. Major Glory and Valhallen accidentally break the TV while Krunk is watching TV Puppet Pals. They try to unpress his [[Berserk Button]] by offering to make up for it. Cue grin.

** Timmy gets one of these himself, in the episode F.L.A.R.G. Mark sums it up pretty well.

{{quote|'''Mark''': What's with the face? It is happy, yet at the same time, ''disturbing''!}}

* A favorite expression of [[Enfante Terrible|Heloise]] on ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes|Jimmy Two Shoes]]'', whenever she's not using a full on [[Slasher Smile]].

* The animated [[Beetlejuice (animation)|Beetlejuice]] often grins broadly when scheming. Bonus points for the unsettlingness of [[British Teeth|his gross green teeth]], complete with half-chewed bug bits.

* Twilight Sparkle of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' pulls one off in "Lesson Zero" when she prepares to create an argument amongst the Cutie Mark Crusaders in a bid to solve the said problem and have a friendship report to write to Princess Celestia.

* T-Bone from [[Swat Kats]] donned this grin occasionally, almost uniquely amongst the characters of that series.
