Cheshire Cat Grin: Difference between revisions

{{examples}}

== Anime and Manga ==

* [[Haruhi Suzumiya]] does this quite a bit, particularly when sizing up Mikuru for a new outfit, or dragging Kyon into trouble.

* Gengar, from ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'', tends to have either this or a [[Slasher Smile]] depending on how it's drawn. Either way, it is constantly worn and only twice in the anime Gengar actually frowned.

* This is [[Bleach|Ichimaru Gin's]] [[Perpetual Smiler|near permanent experession]].

* Captain Gotoh in the ''[[Patlabor]]'' manga specializes in these wonderfully awful toothy grins.

 

== Comic Books ==

* Very literal example in one series of ''[[Peanuts]]'' strips: Snoopy is listening to Linus read the chapter of ''[[Alice's Adventures in Wonderland]]'' where Alice meets the Cat, and then Snoopy grins widely. Linus is shocked when Snoopy disappears, leaving only his grin. Then he reappears, and says, "I've been able to do that for years!"

 

* Done superbly in the [[David Tennant]] version of ''[[Hamlet]]''. "O villain! Smiling, damned villain...", saying this all while sporting a spine-chilling smile. We know his sanity is long, long gone.

 

* The [[Grimmification]] of ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]'', ''[[American McGee's Alice]]'', naturally stars the Cheshire Cat, albeit a ''much'' more insane and macabre version of him. His Cheshire Cat Grin also has bit of [[Slasher Smile]].

* Travis Touchdown of ''[[No More Heroes]]'', particularly whenever he enters a fight while in a good mood. The loading screen for [[No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle|the second game]] even shows a small picture of him sporting one.

 

== Web Animation ==

* Whenever The Cheat from ''[[Homestar Runner]]'' smiles, it's this kind of smile. Things often backfire on him, though.

 

== Web Comics ==

* The eponymous Trollface (now in [https://web.archive.org/web/20141005153947/http://img.chan4chan.com/img/2010-08-31/1283265262586.png glorious HD]).

* [[Doctor Steel]]'s robots all have huge creepy grins.

 

== Western Animation ==

* 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.

 

== Real Life ==
