{{tropestub}}
For centuries,
In-universe, other characters may point the dimples out or compliment them, due to the [[Rule of Cute]]. The dimpled character in question might point them out themselves or feel like they're [[Blessed with Suck]], especially if they're the only recurring character with them. They might notice how manipulative their face dents are and use them to trick others with feign innocence.
Might also be paired with a [[Lantern Jaw of Justice]].
Note: this is not a trope page to list every character with dimples onscreen, especially in live-action media. Make sure the character with dimples applies to points mentioned above before adding your example.

Line 33 ⟶ 35:
* The human man Ariel falls in love with in ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'', Prince Eric, is a tall, dark and handsomely dimpled [[Nice Guy|nice guy]].
* As the God of Mischief, Loki's dimples in the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] imply his roguish dubiousness and frequent double-crossing of many around him.
* [[The Nth Doctor]]-like franchise run of the [[James Bond (film)|James Bond]]
* In ''The Little Colonel'', Colonel Gray quips to Lloyd that her dimples made her cute enough to capture an entire regiment as successfully as any weapon or army.

Line 41 ⟶ 44:
* Al the hero cop from ''[[Unforgettable]]''. In the episode "True Identity", his dimples are mentioned by Gwen when she convinces him to attend a mixer where a duchess will be. Later in the episode, Gwen refuses to hand over her company's client list, so Al tries to convince her by telling her to "look at my dimples", implying he looks innocent enough to get what he wants, regardless.
{{quote|'''Al:''' Oh, come on. Play nice. Look at my dimples. You know we'll just get a subpoena anyway.}}
* The ''[[CSI]]'' episode "Iced" uses the [[Rule of Cute]] factor when agent Warrick mentions he got much attention from girls in high school. Catherine says it makes no sense because he always claimed he was "a dork" back then, but Warrick replies his dimples helped him a lot, even if he didn't get as much attention as his "cooler" peers.
* ''[[CSI: Miami]]''[='=]s Detective Jesse Cardoza's dimples are lampshaded by a witness he and colleague Calleigh interview in "Dude, Where's My Groom?", much to Jesse's embarrassment and Calleigh's amusement. When the interview finishes, the witness suggests interviewing her boss next before leaning in flirtatiously, calling him Dimples and walking away with a smirk. [[No Guy Wants to Be Chased|Flustered]], Jesse decides to interview other witnesses, but not before [[The Gadfly|a tickled Calleigh]] asks Dimples what he wants to do next.

* [[Eminem]]'s "White America" briefly uses this trope as part of the track's theme of pointing out systemic racism and biases in American society.
