Line 80:
 
 
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* The rare times [[Batman]] smiles—a real smile, not a fake "Bruce Wayne, idiot billionaire playboy" smile—can be either really creepy or really heartwarming, depending on the context.
* All those moments of shame, defeat and unhappiness and depression Charlie Brown goes through is worth it to the reader just to see him when he's really, truly happy.
 
 
== Fan FictionWorks ==
* Kyon, already described as average-looking in ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'', whose smile is a source of security and relief to Tsuruya.
 
Line 101 ⟶ 100:
* ''[[Scott Pilgrim vs. the World]]'': Kim. She's completely [[The Stoic|serious]] throughout the movie, but when you look through the bloopers and outtakes and you see her laugh, or smile... She's absolutely beautiful.
** She also smiles ''once'' in the movie itself, after [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Scott finally apologizes]] for [[Noodle Incident|whatever he did to her when they dated in high school.]]
* Completely subverted in ''[[Addams Family]] Values]]'' when [[Perpetual Frowner]] Wednesday Addams decides to smile after being tortured by Disney films and other musicals at a ridiculously cheery summer camp. When she does smile, [[Slasher Smile|some of the other camp girls start to cry in terror]].
* Warren in ''[[Sky High]]''. For reference, behold [http://i40.tinypic.com/1reozo.png behold Kubrick!Warren] and, for contrast, [http://i43.tinypic.com/2h7p85i.png grinning!Warren]. [[Mr. Fanservice|Oh my, I'm all swoony!]]
 
Line 207 ⟶ 206:
* [[Golden Earring]] has the song When The Lady Smiles revolving around this trope.
* [[The Flaming Lips]], "When You Smile".
{{quote|''It's like, I didn't need to
''Say anything or do much, I could tell
''When you smile
''All of the sub-atomic pieces come together
''And unfold themselves
''In a second }}
* In what might be the worst song [[Bruce Springsteen]]'s ever written ("Queen of the Supermarket"), there is this lovely little gem about the explosive qualities of a grocer's smile:
{{quote|"As I lift my groceries in to my car/I turn back for a moment and catch a smile/That blows this whole fucking place apart"}}
* Dia Frampton, "Inventing Shadows":
{{quote|''Don't you know the world shines
''Every time you smile?
''Why cant you just smile? }}
* [[Concrete Blonde]] also have a song called "When You Smile". Unlike what you'd expect, the musical backing of the song is [[Darker and Edgier]] heavy [[Grunge]]/[[Post Punk]].
{{quote|''When you smile, I don't know what to do
''{{'}}Cos I could lose everything in a minute or two
''And it seems like the end of the world...
''...'''when you smile.''' }}
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc71AmT_b2k "Mine"] by Bazzi, a 2017 song that was [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/you-so-precious-when-you-smile turned] into a [[Memetic Mutation|meme]], starts off with:
{{quote|''You so
''fuckin'
''precious
''when you
''smile}}
 
 
== Newspaper Comics ==
* ''[[Peanuts]]'': All those moments of shame, defeat and unhappiness and depression Charlie Brown goes through is worth it to the reader just to see him when he's really, truly happy.
