* Pretty much anyone in a [[Seth 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]]''-- even—even though the characters are [[Stylistic Suck|crudely]] animated, they still have lines to mark the division of teeth.
