Line 41:
** Episode "Fangs For Nothin'". Jesse and James of Team Rocket do this while trying to persuade a Dragonite to help them.
* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', the very young Sousuke (before becoming a [[Child Soldier]]). ''Very'' Moe and [[Adorably Precocious Child|adorable]]. Just look at [http://pics.livejournal.com/fmp_misha/pic/0002tcfx/g44 his big], [http://pics.livejournal.com/fmp_misha/pic/000371ee/g44 beautiful eyes]. No wonder Kalinin wanted so badly to [[The Atoner|make things up to him]] and make him smile from the bottom of his heart - with looks like those, even hardened soldiers' hearts would melt.
** He's still got it, even now. [[media:Sousuke_wideeyesSousuke wideeyes.jpg|Especially]] [[media:Sousuke_wideeyes2Sousuke wideeyes2.jpg|noticeable]] in volume 10 of the Sigma manga... it ''really'' makes people [[The Woobie|just want to give him a big hug]].
* In one episode of ''[[Nerima Daikon Brothers]]'', Mako used this to try to get out of being captured by the [[Monster of the Week|Villain of the Day]], and even [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud|said the sound effect (uru uru) outloud]].
* [[Small Annoying Creature|Kotengu]] in ''[[Harukanaru Toki no Naka de|Harukanaru Toki no Naka de - Hachiyou Shou]]'' does this when he gets caught by Inori (it looks quite cute on his [[Sleep Mode Size|"chibi" form]]).
Line 128:
{{quote|'''Cuddy:''' I'm here if you need me.
'''House:''' ...I need you. }}
*** For a more deliberate (and hilarious) version of this trope, see "Deception", where House needs a lab technician to run twenty-nine tests on one cc of blood. She refuses. House compliments her eyes. She starts to say something sardonic and turns -- Houseturns—House, chin on a nearby centrifuge, slight sad smile, eyebrows up, gives her a soulful blue look.
::: She did the tests.
* ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' - Nobody can resist Sam's Puppy Dog Eyes Of Doom, I repeat, ''nobody''.
Line 171:
** James Ransone, who plays him, continues this in [[Generation Kill]].
* ''[[MASH]]'' - Col. Potter pleads with Hawkeye and B.J. to make Maj. Burns feel like part of the gang, and the two consent to it - Hawkeye says "How can I resist those big Colonel eyes?"
* The [[Woobie|Woobieness]]ness of Niles Crane in ''[[Frasier]]'' at least partly owes itself to the masterful skills of David Hyde Pierce's huge, sad, brown eyes.
** He does pull off that look with great success (occasionally earning an exasperated "Don't look at me like that!" from Frasier), but his eyes are blue. Daphne's alluded to their color more than once.
* Josh Lyman of ''[[The West Wing]]'' absolutely ''owned'' this trope, particularly the facial expressions that go along with the eyes. He was outmatched only by the even more heartbreaking puppy dog eyes of his assistant, Donna Moss. Josh once explicitly told Donna that he couldn't bear to tell her a particular piece of bad news because her sad eyes haunted him.
Line 228:
** And in [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2007-09-18 this one], where Catalina Bobcat used them to get out of trouble. [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2008-06-20 And just because].
** Heck, even the [http://www.egscomics.com/sketchbook/?date=2008-12-12 ads] make use of it.
** Susan has [http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/?date=2010-02-12 finally] used them too... inadvertently -- sheinadvertently—she's so surprised when told she's doing it that she feels her face to confirm it.
** Grace managed to "[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-08-09 convince]" Ellen and Nanase to agree on a double date with her and [http://egscomics.com/?date=2007-02-12 Tedd].
** Tedd, shocked by his own bout of badassery and [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-09-30 in need of a hug].
Line 258:
* It's not sure whether she's aware of it or not, but [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=934 this page] of ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' really accentuate Annie's eyes when she's apologizing.
* Quentyn in ''[[Tales of the Questor]]'' does it to get info from an elder. Apparently a pretty common technique among Racconan kits.
* [http://www.webtoonlive.com/webtoon/Welcome%20to%20the%20Convenience%20Store/ch7/ This] chapter of ''[[Welcome to the Convenience Store]]''. STA--ARESTA—ARE
* Jeremy MacConnor of ''[[Platinum Grit]]'' doesn't even know he has these, but they're his default expression.

Line 277:
*** Kim used it on [[The Dragon|Shego]].
*** And Shego (Miss Go, rather) used on Kim.
**** These aren't actually exceptions to the above rule -- theyrule—they were [[Enemy Mine|on the same side]] at the time.
** Miss Go's [http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee357/Pichu_Chu/Image4.jpg looks] [http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee357/Pichu_Chu/Image2.jpg the] [http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee357/Pichu_Chu/Image3.jpg most] like puppy dog eyes then anyone else's in the series.
* In ''[[Wolverine and the X-Men]]'' Toad of the Brotherhood breaks out ''the'' most pathetic cutie-face an anti-hero has probably ever worn when Quicksilver refuses to rescue him from mutant-jail. The large eyed pout is accompanied by a small-voiced "You... you're dumping me? But... but ''why?''"
