** [[When She Smiles|Contrast with L.]]
* ''[[Kyo No Go No Ni]]'' has a chapter about trying to get a girl to smile. The characters regret it.
* The first of the ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]!'' [[Light Novels]] describes [[The Stoic|Sousuke]]'s attempt at smiling for a student picture as making him look like he's suffering from [[wikipedia:Trigeminal neuralgia|facial neuralgia]]. The effort as depicted in the anime series looks similarly painful.
* In ''[[Darker Than Black]]'', Contractors tend to have lessened emotions. When the [[Emotionless Girl]] companion of the main character wants to get emotions across [http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/323/d/1/yin_attempting_to_smile_by_lilith_zer0-d336dxk.jpg she puts her fingers to the corners of her mouth to] "[[Frozen Face|make]]" herself smile. This differs from most of the examples because of the specific [[Emotionless Girl]] trope appeal... this was considered [[Moe Moe|adorable]] by fans instead. July makes himself smile this way too. It's [[Uncanny Valley|not as cute]].
** Yin's "smile" was adorable, but July's was hilarious.
Line 167:
* [[Tex Avery MGM Cartoons|Droopy]] usually has to say "I'm happy" to let the audience know, but he did grin in a promotional and it was ridiculous.
** [[Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law|Boo hoo hoo.]]
* The borderline psychotic Jolly Olly Ice Cream Man from ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'' gives one of these when asked to put on a pleasant smile for customers.
** Though with a little training from Arnold in one episode, he was able to put on a better smile.
* General consensus within the [[DCAU]] is that Batman smiling, regardless of context, is creepy as hell. It's even a ''plot point'' in one episode of ''[[Superman: The Animated Series]]''
