Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~Barney_Teeth_6941~~Barney Teeth 6941.jpg\|link=Barney and Friends ~~(TV)~~\|frame\|Barney gives us an [[Artistic License: Biology\|accurate]] depiction of a [[Tyrannosaurus Rex]]'s dentition.]] Line 7: {{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * Characters drawn in manga usually have these. And when they do, it's usually the creepy/funny-looking kind. ** Notably averted in [[Beck]] in that every character has all their teeth visibly shown. Line 17: == [[Live Action TV]] == * This is one of the signature traits of the eponymous purple dinosaur, ''[[Barney and Friends ~~(TV)~~\|Barney]]''. Line 29: == [[Web Comics]] == * Humans in ''[[~~Gunnerkrigg Court (Webcomic)\|~~Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' are usually depicted this way. Except [//www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=565 Zimmy] with her "[[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family\|many, many fine sharp fangs]]". == [[Western Animation]] == * [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic ~~(Animation)~~\|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] * Pretty much anyone in a [[Seth ~~Macfarlane~~MacFarlane]] series. Especially Mr. Bottomtooth of ''[[Family Guy]]'', a pretentious rich guy with a single bottom tooth. His son shares this trait. Strangely, the creepy pedophile also has tooth strips when he laughs or chuckles, despite not having most of his teeth... * Averted in ''[[~~South Park (Animation)\|~~South Park]]''~~-- even~~—even though the characters are [[Stylistic Suck\|crudely]] animated, they still have lines to mark the division of teeth. * We see a weird variation in ''[[Invader Zim]]'': the Irkens all have their teeth joined together in an undulating, [http://images1.fanpop.com/images/photos/1400000/Zim-invader-zim-1404611-1024-768.jpg zipper-like pattern]. The humans usually have their teeth drawn separately. * Many other characters in Western animation use tooth strips for the same reason as anime/manga. Drawing them with individually divided teeth looked bad and would be difficult to draw. It isn't so much lazy animators, but what looked decent and was reasonable to animate. * [[Pixar]] is infamously known for their tendency to give most of their nonhuman characters this kind of teeth, whether they are either [[Toy Story (franchise)\|\|toys]], [[A Bug's Life ~~(Animation)~~\|insects]], [[Monsters, Inc.\|monsters]], [[Finding Nemo\|fish]], or [[Cars\|vehicles.]] * Played straight with many animated Disney characters. Aversions include [[Aladdin (Disney film)\|Beggar Jafar's]] crooked dentures and [[Pinocchio (Disney film)\|The Coachman's]] [[Nightmare Face]]. * This is standard in 3D modelling: the artist models a tooth strip and maps the color and normals to make it look like a row of discrete teeth. * Bubs from ''[[Homestar Runner]]''. * The Car Crusher at the end of ''[[The Brave Little Toaster]]'' apparantly has a large guillotine-like blade used to crush cars into tiny cubes that's shaped like a wall of teeth. * ''[[Recess]]'' uses this sometimes. * ''[[101 Dalmatians ~~(Disney)~~\|101 Dalmatians: The Series]]'', [[Depending Onon the Artist]]. {{reflist}} [[Category:Lazy Artist]] [[Category:Teeth Tropes]] [[Category:~~Tooth Strip~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
