* Those creepy-cute [[wikipedia:Kodama chr(28)spiritchr(29)|tree spirits (kodama)]] from ''[[Princess Mononoke]]'' are very much this.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander|Osaka]] of ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]'' does this.
* Nia in ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' does this when she sees Lagann in a garbage heap.
* In [[Durarara]] [[Cute Monster Girl|Celty]] and [[The Berserker|Shizuo]] do a simultaneous version, which A) goes to show their [[Like Brother and Sister]] bond, and B) [http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e397/I_am_Latia/drrrceltyshizzyheadtilt-1.gif is absolutely adorable.]
Line 26:
 
== [[Fan Fiction]] ==
* Used several times in ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero (Fanfic)|Kyon Big Damn Hero]]'':
** Tsuruya when Kyon received a greatcoat as a gift from Mikuru, and realized it's the same coat she saw him wearing [[Time Travel|some weeks ago]].
** Mikuru when Haruhi is explaining her plan {{spoiler|for a type 2 [[Tenchi Solution]] with Kyon and the girls in the brigade}}.
Line 32:
 
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Wild Wild West (Filmfilm)|Wild Wild West]]'': A "blink and you'll miss it" [[Shout-Out]] occurred when "Bloodbath" McGrath was lying on the ground and a dog came up and did the "His Master's Voice" bit while looking at McGrath's ear trumpet.
* ''[[Starman (Filmfilm)|Starman]]'' had [[Jeff Bridges]] tilt his head quizzically for most of the movie -- but that's because he was a non-human life form from outer space learning about the human experience as he went along, so everything was new and confusing to him.
* ''[[The Fifth Element]]'': Leeloo gives a tilt of her head to the Major before breaking out of her unbreakable container and taking from him the key to opening it.
* Detective Hoffman does this towards Strahm in the glass box in ''[[Saw|Saw V]]''
* In ''[[Halloween (Filmfilm)|Halloween]]'' Michael Myers does this when examining some of his victims.
* Jason Voorhees does this twice in ''[[Friday the 13th (Filmfilm)|Friday the 13 th]]'' series. First in ''Part VI'' when he sees an [[Auto Erotica]] going on and in ''Part VIII'' when he sees a billboard for a hockey league which features a hockey mask similar to his.
* In ''[[The Mask (Filmfilm)|The Mask]]'', Stanley's dog Milo does this the first time Stanley turns into the title character.
* ''[[Star Wars]]: Return of the Jedi'' - the Ewok whom Princess Leia befriends headtilts at her when she tries to talk to him.
** The child actor ([[Warwick Davis]], in fact) who played the Ewok stated that he purposefully modeled this behavior from his own pet pooch.
Line 45:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* [[Star Trek|Spock]] made considerable use of this, as well as the [[Fascinating Eyebrow]] (and sometimes both at once).
** [[Star Trek: theThe Next Generation|Data]] quizzically tilted his head every ten seconds or so.
* There's an episode of ''[[Will and Grace]]'' where Jack says 'reluctant pivot, inquisitive head tilt' as response to Will.
* In ''[[Supernatural]]'', this is Castiel's typical reaction to Dean (or others) not making sense from his angelic perspective. I think he's patented his version, actually.
Line 64:
* ''[[Mass Effect]] 2'' includes a particularly good scene where Joker does this after EDI cracks a hilarious, albeit very poorly timed, joke.
* Emperor Palpatine hilariously does this when accessing Imperial security panels in [[Lego Star Wars]].
* In ''[[Kingdom Heartscoded (Video Game)|Kingdom Heartscoded]]'', Data-Sora, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and Jiminy all perform one together as {{spoiler|Data-Riku}} explains the nature of his existence.
* Emil Castagnier of ''[[Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World]]'' tends to do this a lot as well.
 
Line 72:
* [[Cute Overload]] calls this the "baroo", after the sound dogs (supposedly) make along with it.
* a disproportionate amount of [[Slender Man Mythos|Slenderman-related media]] portrays him as having his head habitually tilted to one side.
* When [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Linkara]] joined [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]] to review ''[[Superman (Filmfilm)|Superman IV]]'' this was his reaction to Supes' "repair The Great Wall of China vision".
{{quote| '''Nostalgia Critic:''' Does Superman have wall repairing ability? <br />
'''Linkara:''' <quizzical tilt> ...not in any comic I've read }}
* The standard problem-solving method used by [http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/07/dog.html The Simple Dog] in ''[[Hyperbole and Aa Half]]''. {{spoiler|It doesn't work.}}
* On the vlog [[Vlog Brothers]], Hank composes a song from weird noises sent in by [[Fan Community Nicknames|nerdfighters]] to get his brother's dog to tilt quizically. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQxpgSuaiz4 It works]
 
Line 85:
'''Marge:''' Hey! [claps twice, and Garth snaps back to attention] }}
* Kitty from ''[[South Park]]'' has done this.
* In ''[[The Thief and The Cobbler (Animation)|The Thief and Thethe Cobbler]]'', there's a scene where Tak and Princess Yum Yum do this to each other for several seconds.
