Cartoon characters, even human ones, [[Anatomy Anomaly|aren't always drawn to the exact specifications of real life]]. This is done to give the characters a unique look, or for the sake of simplicity. A common form of [[Lampshade Hanging]] in animated cartoons is characters pointing out such oddities in their own designs, or the designs of other characters.
Line 28 ⟶ 27:
* In the [[Live Action Adaptation]] of ''[[Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids]]'', Dumb Donald tells another character that he can't take off his hat, which he wears as if it were a ski mask, because the animators never drew his whole face.
== [[Live
* In a rare live action example, in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4qmXTILkoM#t=07m18s this hilarious interview] [[Sesame Street|Elmo]] notes his lack of a forehead.
Line 55 ⟶ 54:
** ''[[Homestuck]]'': [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003315 "Suddenly a powerful aroma hits your] [[The Noseless|nonexistent nostrils."]]
== [[Web Original]] ==
* Done too many times to count in ''[[Homestar Runner]]''. Strong Bad has received countless e-mails asking "How do you type with boxing gloves on?", and there have been a few jokes about how some characters (like Homestar, Marzipan, and the King of Town) have no visible arms, yet are still able to manipulate objects.
** It doesn't hurt that this is done so perplexingly and [[Lampshaded]] so often that The Homestar Runner Wiki has a running list of evidence for/against said characters having arms/legs or not that rivals your average JFK conspiracy list.
Line 70 ⟶ 69:
** In a fairly recent episode, Bart, Lisa and Maggie notice that [http://imgur.com/DNVDw they can't tell where their hair stops and head begins]. [[Go Mad from the Revelation|They take it]] badly.
** ''[[Futurama]]'' also referenced Groening's [[Signature Style]] with ''Bender'', where his (non-visible) overbite once caught on his neck hole when he was sinking down into his torso.
* In one episode of ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy
** Not to mention the episode with the talking Taking Tree, where he countered Mandy's insulting observations with "Well, why don't you have a nose?", with her [[Lampshaded|lampshading]] the scenario with her retort: "Yeah, like I've never heard that one before."
** And lampshading its [[Art Evolution]], a flashback to the pilot episode is criticized by Grim as, "That didn't even look like us!"
Line 89 ⟶ 88:
** Then there's Perry grabbing Doofensmirtz nose to pop the bubble they were trapped in to which Doofensmirtz asks, "Is my nose really that pointy?"
* The characters of [[Veggie Tales]] have no arms or hands, but are still able to function as if they did. Lampshaded at least once: Everyone bursts into applause, and then someone looks around, puzzled "How are we clapping?"
** In ''The Toy That Saved Christmas'' the human shaped toy Louie orders "Everybody who's got hands, start tying!", followed by a close up of Larry and Bob before he resigns himself to "That'd be me."
