Depending on how entrenched the art style is in the audience's mind, this can seem rather jarring. And sometimes that's actually the desired effect.
{{examples|Examples:}}
 
== 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 Book)|Fritz the Cat]]'' comics and [[Fritz the Cat (Animation)|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.
 
Line 60:
** This is also the case when Mandy sniffs Billy's stink bomb in "The Really Odd Couple".
* ''[[Looney Tunes]]''
** In "[[Rabbit of Seville]]", [[Bugs Bunny/Characters|Bugs Bunny]] is drumming on Elmer's head as if playing a piano. A close-up shows that Bugs' normally [[Four -Fingered Hands]] now have ''five'' fingers, because the piano piece couldn't be shown accurately otherwise.
** 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.
Line 74:
** Canadians have a whole different set of Missing/Sudden Anatomy.
* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'':
** In "Criss Cross Crisis", Buttercup, realizing she's in Professor Utonium's body, flexes the fingers on the Professor's hands (Buttercup's usual body has no fingers). In the accompanying closeup, [[Four -Fingered Hands]] is averted (like in the Bugs Bunny example above).
** "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 ''[[Spongebob 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 ItsIt'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.
* One episode of ''[[Cat Dog]]'' played this for laughs by having Cat hold up seven fingers.
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.]]
