{{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...

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.
Line 11 ⟶ 13:
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.
Line 23 ⟶ 25:
* Doctor Drakken from ''[[Kim Possible]]'', much like the abovementioned Control Freak.
* Ryou Mashiba from ''[[Hajime no Ippo]]'', the local [[Heroic Sociopath]].
* [[
* 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]].
Line 32 ⟶ 34:
* 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 ''[[
* [[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.
Line 45 ⟶ 47:
* 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]].
Line 57 ⟶ 59:
* Both the Irish cop and Leslie Clark the salesman in the Disney short ''Duck Pimples.''
== [[Real Life]] ==
*
** 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.
Line 64 ⟶ 66:
* 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.
