== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Sherman and Megan might look identical if it weren't for Megan's pearl necklace in ''[[ShermansSherman's Lagoon]]''
 
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* The modern interpretation of ''[[Donkey Kong]]'' has the big ape wearing only a red tie [[Brought to You Byby The Letter "S"|with his initials on it]].
* They don't hide the entire neck, but this is apparently the reason for most or all of the female characters in ''[[Dragon Age Origins]]'' having some kind of neckwear.
** Men too, will always have necklaces even when otherwise naked.
* ''[[Mass Effect]]'' characters, for the most part, have a neck cover to hide the fact that the background NPC's are just head-swaps with an occasional change in skin color. The characters that avert this are rare but when it does happen there's a noticeable change in texture quality where their neck meets the torso.
* ''[[Klonoa (Video Game)|Klonoa]]'''s original design.
* As many modders can attest, the heads and the bodies for ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'' characters are animated separatedly, so in order to make the separation between the neck and the torso smooth for armor that doesn't end at the neck, all the official textures have some kind of neckwear. Some modders have created custom skins and models without them, to various degrees of success.

== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Most of Ed Bennedict's character designs for early Hanna-Barbera's shows.
** ''[[Yogi Bear (Animation)|Yogi Bear]]''. Also, his pal Boo Boo wears just a bowtie.
** All the men in ''[[The Flintstones]]'' wear collars. The women tend to wear necklaces.
*** Also, for formal occasions, the men wear cuffs despite their clothing being sleeveless.
* Models constructed for stop-motion animation (example: ''[[Chicken Run (Animation)|Chicken Run]]'') often have this or some other similar method used to disguise where the head was joined to the body.
* In the 1970's Hanna-Barbera adaptation of ''[[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]]'', Jerry was fitted with a bow-tie.
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' family are all designed like this. ''Pearls on a little girl?'' That's why. In an episode where Lisa loses them, she breaks down in tears and admits that without them she's nothing but [[Only Six Faces|a big Maggie]].
* Cool Cat, the last new starring character of the original ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' shorts, wore a necktie, which was bound to make people mistake him for a [[Hanna-Barbera]] character.
