Line 9:
== Anime and Manga ==
 
* In the ''[[Dragon Ball (Manga)|Dragon Ball]]'' manga, Demon King Piccolo (who has [[Four-Fingered Hands]]) temporarily grows a fifth when he tells Goku [[You Have No Chance to Survive|"You shall die in five seconds"]]. This is actually [[Lampshaded]] by the author. (In the anime, Piccolo has five fingers, so the [[Averted Trope|trope is averted]].)
 
== Comic Books ==
 
* In the ''[[Fritz the Cat (Comic Bookcomics)|Fritz the Cat]]'' comics and [[Fritz the Cat (Animationanimation)|both]] [[The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat (Animation)|movies]], Fritz ([[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal|who wears no pants]]) is only... er, anatomically correct during sex scenes. [[Double Standard|The female characters, however]] [[Fan Service|always are]].
* One comic issue featuring ''[[Donald Duck]]'' shows the characters experiencing a sound tremor that causes everything to vibrate, with one of the [[Same Sex Triplets|duck triplets]] making a comment going "If I had teeth, they would rattle". The interesting thing is that in that very panel, ''he does.'' And this is not uncommon - the Disney duck characters are drawn with teeth at many other occasions in the comics, usually gritting them or brushing them.
 
== Film ==
 
* Verne the turtle in the movie ''[[Over the Hedge (Filmanimation)|Over the Hedge]]'' mentions his tail a lot, and it's prefectly visible whenever he turns his back. Unless he loses his shell.
* None of the characters from ''[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'' have visible irises, but when Princess Aurora finally awakens from her deep sleep at the end of the film, her eyes actually turn dark blue but turn black again during the epilogue.
* B.O.B. from ''[[Monsters vs. Aliens]]'' is able to grow arms when needed. Justified in that he's a [[Blob Monster]].
 
Line 30:
 
* Averted in ''[[Homestar Runner]]'', where many characters have no visible arms. Rather than sprouting arms when necessary or being hindered by their character design, these characters [[Take a Third Option]] and seem to manipulate objects through telekinesis (though it's sometimes implied they simply have ''[[Invisible Anatomy|invisible]]'' arms).
* ''[[Madness Combat (Web Animation)|Madness Combat]]'' gave an unfortunate [[Mook]] an ear [[Ear Ache|just so the protagonist could rip it off]].
* The klaymen of ''[[Klay World]]'', who often grow fingers just to point at or stroke each other, and don't talk with a mouth but grow one whenever they feel like chewing on something.
 
Line 48:
* The [http://ask-jappleack.tumblr.com/post/14816438117/applefact-in-2006-58-of-apples-produced-in-the Ask Jappleack tumblr] makes a point of how Jappleack, possessing hooves, grabs things...HilarityEnsues.
** In its parent series [[Pony Dot Mov]], Fluttershy was briefly seen with fingers so that she could snap them in SHED.MOV, and in MAGIC.MOV Twilight is seen actually sprouting a finger out of her hoof with which to press a button.
* Characters in ''[[Bonus Stage (Webweb Animationanimation)|Bonus Stage]]'' will often be without arms in inaction scenes. Lampshaded at one point:
{{quote| '''Joel''': I wish I had arms for this scene.<br />
''His arms appear from the top of the screen.''<br />
Line 63:
** Gossamer's arms appear from and disappear into his body as needed.
** In "High Diving Hare" after Yosemite Sam pushes Bugs off the diving board Bugs grows a pair of toe claws to catch onto the board, this is the first and only time we ever see them.
* In the ''[[Dilbert (Animationanimation)|Dilbert]]'' TV series, characters that normally have [[No Mouth]] suddenly develop one whenever they need to say something, and it then disappears as soon as they stop. In the comic, Dilbert's mouth is only visible when he's gritting his teeth or shouting.
* The ''[[Veggie Tales (Animation)|Veggie Tales]]'' characters. It started out avoiding obvious manipulation of objects, but as time went on and available plots where this was still an option got used up, the animators started fudging. Especially amusing is the fact that in the opening, Larry still points out that he can't play the guitar because he doesn't have hands... and in the "Silly Songs With Larry" segment of ''Lord of the Beans'', guess what we see him do.
** They recently gave the opening sequence a major overhaul (new animation, new recording of the song) that finally takes out that joke.
** See also the Flash-animated spinoff Larry-Boy series, where the animators came up with every excuse they could to let the characters physically manipulate things: Larry-Boy's utility belt has robot arms for every gadget, Professor Bok Choy wears a robe with empty sleeves to hold his pointer, various villains either have natural or technological arms, and a scientist was shown wearing a levitating "empty" glove.
Line 77:
** "Mr. Mojo's Rising" features a dramatic close up of the Professor's eyes as he's remembering when (Mojo) Jojo was his lab assistant and he suddenly has both irises and eyelashes.
* In a ''[[Garfield]]'' TV special when the announcer says that a dog can play five instruments at once he grows an extra finger to emphasize this, the fifth finger disappears seconds later.
* In ''[[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants]]'' it is often pointed out that Patrick doesn't have a nose. But, in "Wet Painters", after seeing Spongebob make a paintbrush with some nose hairs he suddenly gains a nostril and produces a giant mess of nose hairs. And, in "Battle of Bikini Bottom" he makes himself grow one in order to fling boogers at Spongebob. There's also Squidward, Patrick and Spongebob growing hair on more then one occasion. And of course, the infamous toenail removal scene in the episode "House Fancy". In the episode "Sailor Mouth," Spongebob counts the swear words on his fingers during Mr. Krabs' [[Cluster F-Bomb|cluster F bomb]], announcing that Mr. Krabs' said all thirteen bad words, holding up his hands with a combined total of thirteen fingers. They go away after the gag is over. Patrick has also been capable of growing ''hair'' by sheer will.
* In an episode of ''[[Camp Lazlo]]'' involving [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|serial pantsing]], the [[Long Pants]] the characters usually wore became well-defined shorts just seconds before they were pulled down.
* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'''s Perry the Platypus only has teeth when he wants to bare them.
Line 84:
** When Gumball is listening to something across a room in "The Robot" he suddenly grows a large human-like ear on the side of his head and the cat ears he normally has on the back/top of his head disappear.
* While not a human, Bender of Futurama tends to suddenly have plugs, switches, buttons and other devices on his body whenever a joke calls for it.
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'': Unlike the usual case, this is done constantly and subtly with eyebrows in the show, which for most characters only appear when an expression requires them.
* [[Frosty the Snowman]] has [[Four-Fingered Hands]], but sprouts a fifth finger when he tries to count.
* Done often in [[Adventure Time (Animation)|Adventure Time]], usually with eyebrows in a wide range of styles or chin hair on Finn for humor/emotion. Marceline also picks her nose, once by [[Shapeshifting|growing one]] and another time with her [[The Noseless|apparently invisible one.]]
