{{examples|Examples:}}
 
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Natsumi from ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'' sometimes does the [[Angry Eyebrows]].
* Goku from ''[[DragonballDragon Ball]]'', especially in ''Dragonball Z''.
* ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'' - He even gets his face ''stuck'' in the "Angry" position because he'd been [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] and hadn't had the chance to glare at people for a while.
* Luffy from ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]'' plays this trope completely straight in his fight with Bellamy.
* In the not very well known anime ''[[Shin-Hakkenden]]'' the main character, and for that matter all the jewel bearers, aren't noted so much for their facial expressions, but when one of their jewels glow...um...run away and you MIGHT survive.
* In ''[[Flame of Recca]]'' when Recca fights the monk with the "Oni" artifact. {{spoiler|"Hit me three times." After the third hit, mister placid buddha-face becomes mister I own your ass.}}
* Kenshiro of ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'' has [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]] to begin with, but when he gets mad and ''glares'', you know someone isn't walking away from the next fight.
** Heaven help you if his [[Aloof Older Brother]] Raoh does it. He might just punch your head clean off, and that's being merciful.
 
== [[Film]] ==
* A rare example in ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 2'', with Mr. Potato Head. When they encounter the other Woody's Roundup Toys,
{{quote| '''Mr. Potato Head:''' Prepare to meet... MR. ANGRY EYES! AAAAAH!}}
** Subverted in that he actually puts on his spare shoes by mistake.
 
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* A rare live-action version is Sylar of ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]''. Whenever he's especially annoyed or pissed off, [[Big Ol' Eyebrows|his eyebrows]] take on a life of their own. Of course, this is [http://zach-quinto.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=551&pos=230 Zachary]{{Dead link}} [http://zach-quinto.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=93&pos=229 Quinto]{{Dead link}}'s eyebrows we're talking about.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Ryu of ''[[Street Fighter]]'' and the anime film ''Street Fighter Zero Generation'' does it before going Satsui no Hadou Metameza Ryu after Gouki(Akuma) deals him a critical blow.
* In ''Project Justice'', the sequel to ''[[Rival Schools (Video Game)|Rival Schools]]'', there is an unlockable alternate version of Batsu called Burning Batsu, complete with powered-up attacks, ripped abs and [[Angry Eyebrows]]. [[Unstoppable Rage|You wouldn't like him when he gets angry]].
* Ryu in the NES ''[[Ninja Gaiden]]'' games would always sport [[Angry Eyebrows]] when he was ready to kick some ass during a cut scene.
* ''[[Ristar]]'' originally only had angry eyebrows for boss fights; in the American version, they're present ''[[American Kirby Is Hardcore|all the time]]''.
* [[Gorgeous George|Narcis Prince]] of ''[[Punch -Out!!]]'' will not let you touch his "beautiful, beautiful" [[Not in Thethe Face|face]], so doing so is [[Attack Its Weak Point|obviously his weakness]], right? Yeah, [[Berserk Button|except you just turned him into a British brawler]], his "beautiful" face now has a growling sneer, and [["Wake -Up Call" Boss|you better be quick on your feet if you want to beat him]]. That, or wait until he calms down ("Stay calm, matey!"). Luckily, [[Tactical Suicide Boss|his anger leaves his face exposed]], allowing you to sock him in the face even more until he's knocked down.
* ''[[Worms (Video Game)|Worms]]'' - the angry eyebrows are so iconic that when ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'' cross-promoted it by offering a Worms-style helmet as a pre-order bonus, said helmet came with said eyebrows.
 
== [[Web Animation]] ==
* Strong Bad from ''[[Homestar Runner (Web Animation)|Homestar Runner]]'' specifically added [[Angry Eyebrows]] to his dragon creation Trogdor to heighten his "majesty".
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* ''[[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]]'': [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2003-12-22 This comic, last panel.] Who knew Tedd could look so ''frightening''?
* The last panel of [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=131944 this] ''[[Everyday Heroes]]'' strip, when Jane is sparring with Wrecking Paul and actually manages to hit him.
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Western example: [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090318221623/avatar/images/e/e3/AangDesertAngry.png Aang]{{Dead link}} in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''
** Inverted with Zuko, whose [[Perpetual Frowner|usual expression]] is angry eyebrows. You know something's amiss when he has the [http://i55.tinypic.com/2d2jeix.jpg eyebrow of mild worry.]
* ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' was a master of [[Angry Eyebrows]], but they weren't always angry. Sometimes, they were just ''resolved'', and always, ''always'' shown in close up. In addition, the eyebrows were sometimes shown after his gi had been shredded once again, combining the eyebrows with a costume change. Followed by ass-kicking.
* Often used in [[South Park]] to express anger given the limitations of the animation.
* Parodied in ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]''. Timmy's Dad is mad at DINKLEBERG as a kid and wants to glare. Crocker comes by and pushes his eyebrows down into an angry face for him.
* ''[[Ben 10: Alien Force (Animation)|Ben 10 Alien Force]]'' - Ben does this right before transforming into some alien form to own whoever poses a significant danger to his friends and comrades.
* An episode of ''[[BluesBlue's Clues]]'' had Blue wanting to express an emotion [[Captain Obvious|(anger)]]. One of the clues was a pair of "angry" eyebrows, and since the clues now sing for some reason, it lead to the hilarious image of some cartoon eyebrows singing enthusiastically [[Crowning Moment of Funny|"I'm scrunched-up]] [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|eyebrows~"]]
* Angry Eyebrows serve as Mooks in an episode of The Cartoon adventures of Larryboy. Seroiusly.
