* Pictured above is Kyubey from ''PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''. Same cute (bordering on creepy at some points) expression even with the horrible things happening to the heroines, [[spoiler: apparently not changing even when Kyubey himself is shot full of holes]]. This is likely the first sign that fans took not to trust him. However, Kyubey is quite a bit more expressive in the manga.

Kyubey\'s face can move (you can see it do so when he\'s running from Homura in the first episode). As is being discussed in the image pickin\' discussion right now, this trope isn\'t about characters who don\'t move their face by choice. Rather, it\'s about characters who couldn\'t move their face even if they wanted to.


* As seen in the picture, Kyubey from ''PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' has that CatSmile ''permanently stuck on him''. Even when pushing girls to become {{Magical Girl}}s [[spoiler:while their mentor gets horribly killed.]]

* {{Buster Keaton}}, who started his career in vaudeville as a child, learned that smiling during roughhousing made the audience think he was being abused. He took the lesson to heart: his nickname as an adult star was "The Great Stone Face".

*** It also has been shown to limit how wide his left eye can open. At best it can widen half as much as the other eye. This can be overcome by the rest of his face, but it still can make it look like he's glaring.

** Around the eye does not constitute half of the face; Zuko can smile and has been shown doing so quite a few times. The only restrictive purpose the scar plays with the face is how the tear ducts leak at a slower speed than his undamaged eye.

Please note, many animated shows will feature characters who appear paralyzed but for their mouth movements. This is caused by reducing frames due to low budgets, and is not the same thing.

** A frozen grin on the corpse's face is the trademark effect of Joker Venom, dating all the way back to the Joker's first appearance. In some cases, the venom even does it to ''living'' people that have recovered from the venom's effects, for that extra bit of HighOctaneNightmareFuel.
