[[caption-width-right:350:No points for guessing why they call him "Slit".]]

* There's an infamous ad for Durex condoms that shows a woman with bandages at the edges of her mouth (the implication apparently being that her recent partner's endowment was [[BigPrickBigProblems a little too big]].)

* ''Manga/IchiTheKiller'': The deranged gangster Kakihara has cut cheeks that he ''[[CombatSadomasochist let]]'' his fellow gang members inflict on him. His is interesting in that he kept the cuts in his cheeks from sealing together when they healed and scarred, so the slits are permanent. As a result, his mouth opens ''far'' wider than it normally should, and he uses piercings to hold his cheeks together.

* The PerversePuppet Chachazero of ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' smiles while saying the most twisted or acidic of things, if only for the fact that she was carved that way.

* Heinkel from ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' gets one of these toward the end after taking a sniper round through the mouth. She doesn't seem too bothered by it, but it makes her dialogue a nightmare to read.
* Joejoe of ''Manga/{{Toriko}}'' has what looks like stitches on the entire length of his mouth, which runs for the entire width of his visible face. Zebra has half of a Glasgow Grin--his left cheek is torn, exposing his teeth up to the wisdom ones. It might be intentional--he claims it's useful for shoveling food in, and might be possibly useful for all his [[MakeMeWannaShout shout-based attacks]]. For a short time, Zebra's cheek was sewn together, but the stitches gave way quickly.

** [[spoiler: Katakuri's mouth aside from his massive [[ScaryTeeth fangs]] has two asymmetrical stitches on his cheeks. Katakuri [[BerserkButton ''really'']] doesn't take kindly to his mouth being seen or talked about. As he kills the three chefs who see his face]].
* In ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun'', these are the aftereffects of Scary Monsters when turning from Dinosaur back to human. [[BodyHorror This sometimes happens to the Stand User, but each time it's creepy as all hell.]]
* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'':
** The Female Titan opens her mouth so wide it splits [[spoiler:so she can devour/capture Eren after defeating his Titan form]]. She pretty much redefines BodyHorror.
** Another well-known example is a titan that wears a permanent grotesque grin and can unhinge its jaw to bite, known as the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Smiling Titan.]]
** Holders of the Armored and Jaw titans receive scars resembling Glasgow grins when they stay in their Titan form for an extended period. The Armored Titan has one in its Titan form too, but it's a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] case as it's formed by his bony exoskeleton and is not a scar to begin with.
** In the prequel ''Attack on Titan: Before the Fall'', Ogre, a [[BadassNormal pure Titan]] has a significant case of this, which defies all logic as Pure Titans are usually pretty scarless.
* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'': Part of Dabi's facial scarring does this trope very effectively.

* The Comedian in ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' has half a Glasgow grin, after being slashed by a Vietnamese woman whom he'd gotten pregnant [[spoiler: and whom he ruthlessly shoots down]].

** The ''Batman Confidential'' story arc ''Lovers and Madmen'', a re-telling of the Joker's origin, had the Joker given his Glasgow Smile by a thrown Batarang.
** On a similar note, the Joker's Earth-3 counterpart, the Jokester, did have one of these from his encounter with Owlman I and Talon.

* Mr Rictus from ''ComicBook/{{Wanted}}'' has this, though it's due to horrible burns rather than cutting.
* The ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'' series has Karu-Sil of the [[Characters/GLSinestroCorps Sinestro Corps]], a WildChild who cut off her lips and sharpened her teeth into fangs so she could look more like the large beasts that adopted her, giving her a permanent predatory grin.
* Inverted with Whiteface, the ComicBook/SupremePower's AlternateCompanyEquivalent of the Joker. After being assaulted in prison, he's left with a set of scars that make him look constantly sad, or like a nutcracker or some other strange puppet. Differs from a PerpetualFrowner in that other than the scars, he has no affect display ''at all.''
* A ''ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}}'' story-line had Constantine encountering a version of the Chelsea Smilers.
* In ''ComicBook/AmericanVampire'', [[spoiler:Hattie]] has one of these after losing a fight with another vampire.

* ''Fanfic/AShadowOfTheTitans'': During the Gotham Arc, [[spoiler: Joker carves a smile into Jade's face as punishment for ratting him out to Batman]].
* In ''Fanfic/TheButcherBird'', [[VillainProtagonist Grigori]] [[MadScientist Vinci]] gets one fairly early on, courtesy of [[spoiler: Eustass Kid.]] Even after developing VoluntaryShapeshifting, he keeps the scars from it and the accompanying EyeScream. Meanwhile, [[spoiler: Tashigi gets half of one due to shrapnel from her WreckedWeapon in a fight with [[TheBrute Herman]].]]
* ''Fanfic/DanganronpaMementoMori'': [[spoiler:[[DepravedDentist Luka]], true to the Kuchisake-onna urban legend, not only leave these on the faces of her victims, but also [[MaskingTheDeformity wears a face mask]] to cover up her own scarred cheeks, revealing them during her VillainousBreakdown]].
* ''Fanfic/MiraculousThePhoenixRises'' protagonist Morgan boasts half of one after the start of the story.
* ''Fanfic/{{Hivefled}}'': this is what happened to Gamzee when his MonsterClown and StepfordSmiler parents got frustrated with his refusal to pretend to be happy through all the terrible things they did to him.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' is a cute, cuddly-wuddly cartoon featuring adorable ponies. The chief smiler, Pinkie Pie, makes it her job to put a smile on everypony's face. In the dark and violent fanfic ''Fanfic/{{Pagliacci}}'', however, [[MonsterClown Pinkie Pie]] puts THIS smile on everypony's face... because she has one, too. Yes, it's NightmareFuel.
** As another ''MLP'' example, ''Fanfic/PagesOfHarmony'' has a MadScientist Twilight Sparkle do this to [[spoiler:Sweetie Belle]] when she's captured with [[spoiler:Rarity]].
* In [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/881050/cloneserpents Cloneserpents]]' "Screams" series Harry has one due to extensive torture by Death Eaters. Hermione, who's equally tortured and equally insane, refers to him as her "Smiling Man."

* ''City of Joy'' has its main antagonist, the son of a Godfather-like mafia figure in India use this as his preferred [[DisproportionateRetribution punishment against females]]. He does it once to a minor female character, and late in the film he attempts to do it to [[spoiler:Anouar's daughter in retaliation to his defiance]], but is unable to [[PapaWolf go through with it]].
* ''Film/TheDarkKnight'':
** Instead of the character's traditional rictus grin, the Joker's mouth was apparently torn open, given the ragged, uneven scarring on his cheeks and lower lip. He gives [[MultipleChoicePast two completely different explanations]] for how and why this happened, and tries to give Batman a third.
--->'''Joker:''' It's a funny world we live in. Speaking of which, you know how I got these scars?\\

** Which, interestingly enough, brings the chain of references full-circle: Joker's rictus grin was based off Gwynplaine from the film version of ''Literature/TheManWhoLaughs''--who had a Glasgow Smile in the original novel.
* One of the most fearless of the Dead Rabbit warriors in Creator/MartinScorsese's ''Film/GangsOfNewYork'' is a large Irishman named Jack Mulraney whose left cheek is curved up in a permanent grin thanks to a long-ago knife injury. Because of this peculiarity, the other gang members call him "Happy Jack."

** The [[Characters/MonsterVerseGodzilla MonsterVerse version]] has a "born with it" variation, though it's only really visible when he opens his mouth to roar or use his [[BreathWeapon atomic breath]]. Its design seems to be based off the similar "smiles" of many real life reptiles.

* The film ''Film/GreenStreet'' sees Matt threatened this by a group of Birmingham FootballHooligans. Being hooligans, of course, they refer to this as a Chelsea Grin.

* The original film example is ''Film/TheManWhoLaughs'', whose face was permanently deformed into a grin as a punishment for his father's misdeeds.
* ''Film/{{Mirrors|2008}}'': After Angela is murdered by her possessed reflection via {{Jawbreaker}}, the mutilated cavity where her mouth used to be looks like this on her corpse, and when the Mirror Demon manifests an apparition of her in a rear view mirror.

* The ''Saw'' franchise contains two examples of this trope:

* The killer in the internet slasher film ''Film/{{Smiley}}'' is named for carving a smile into his face (in addition to [[EyeScream stitching his eyes shut]]).

* In the [[Film/TheWitches2020 2020 film adaption]] of ''Literature/TheWitches'', the titular antagonists have enlarged mouths which appear as Glasgow grins when undercover.

* In Creator/RobinJarvis' ''Literature/DeptfordMice'' trilogy, a rat who offended [[BigBad Jupiter's]] lieutenant [[TheDragon Morgan]] in his youth had his lips sliced off as punishment. Because of his permanent grin, he was given the nickname Smiler.
* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novels, author Terry Pratchett plays with this when he writes about Death, who carries the personage of TheGrimReaper. "Death grinned" is a frequently-used description, with occasional lampshading that he never ''stops'' grinning, being a skeleton in a robe.

* Early in ''Literature/FightClub'' the protagonist gets a hole punched in his cheek, which he covers with two fingers when he drinks coffee. Later [[spoiler:he tries to commit suicide by fighting fifty guys, splitting the cheek completely. The he [[AteHisGun shoots out the other cheek]]. He points out that he now looks like a piece of vandalism from earlier in the book]].

--> '''Jeff''': Now, you can smile forever...

* Mentioned in "Journal of a UFO Investigator" by David Halperin. The MIB discuss to cut the protagonist one "so he looks better". (At least that he is spared.)
* The title character of ''Literature/TheManWhoLaughs'', by Creator/VictorHugo. Despite having this trope, he isn't that bad.

* ''Literature/TheRifter'': Kyle has the "Glasgow smile" scar. He was a supposedly celibate initiate at a monastery; the senior priest Dayyid cut him as a mark of shame after catching him with a man in an alley. Dayyid needed him to become the Kahlil and so couldn’t have him publicly accused of homosexuality and executed, but everyone in Rathal’pesha knew what the scar meant and he was utterly ostracised.

* Mr. Grin from ''[[Literature/AlexRider Stormbreaker]]'' is a former circus performer who used to catch a knife between his teeth as the finale of his act, until his mother came to see his act and distracted him at the crucial moment. In addition to the scars on his cheeks, he [[TheUnintelligible has no tongue]].
* In Creator/CliveBarker's ''Literature/TheThiefOfAlways'', Rictus has a Glasgow Grin.
* ''Literature/YoungBond'' novel ''Literature/BloodFever'' has a fellow named Smiler, who is Count Carnifex's head henchman and assassin. He got his name from the scars that he bears on his cheeks, which he received for betraying his last gang. In Glasgow.

* On the season 3 finale of ''Series/SonsOfAnarchy'', Chibs (see "Tommy Flanagan" in Real Life, below) gives Jimmy O a payback Glasgow Grin just before killing him.
* Marcie intends to do this to Cordelia in the ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' episode "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E11OutOfMindOutOfSight Out of Mind, Out of Sight]]".
--> '''Marcie:''' Your smile... I think it should be ''wider''.
* In the ''Series/MastersOfHorror'' episode "[[Recap/MastersOfHorrorS1E13Imprint Imprint]]", the disfigured prostitute has half of one as a result of a genetic defect.
* In ''Series/MarcoPolo'', a hashshashim is given one of these as the first step in being tortured for information regarding an assassination attempt on Kublai Khan. The one doing the cutting cautions him not to scream as he cuts, as the prisoner will only tear his mouth.
* In ''Series/{{Hannibal}}'', the mentally ill girl Georgia Madchen does this to a friend in an attempt to 'take off her mask'. Later, Hannibal uses the same method on another victim to frame Georgia Madchen for the murder.
* Arthur Shelby Sr. has the scars of a Glasgow Grin in ''Series/PeakyBlinders''. His actor Creator/TommyFlanagan has them for real, and is mentioned in RealLife below.
* ''Series/Counterpart2018'': After being grazed by Howard Prime's bullet in "The Crossing", Baldwin has this on her right cheek, the scar making it look like her lips are extended.

* Music/BringMeTheHorizon's song [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Chelsea Smile,]] has lyrics about one, as well as the title being another phrase for the Glasgow Grin.
-->''"I may look happy,\\
But honestly, dear,\\
The only way I'll ever smile is if you cut me ear to ear."''
* Deathcore band Chelsea Grin is, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin named after the Chelsea Grin.]]
* Music/SteelyDan's "Sign In Stranger" (about a hideout for wanted criminals) features the lines:

He will make your mug shots disappear
** In the context of the line, Pepe is dead, and his mugshot is used to fool authorities into thinking people are dead.
* The Music/{{Voltaire}} song ''The Straight Razor Cabaret" is about a performer who would give these to people who wouldn't laugh at his show.
* In GHOST and Crusher-P’s song, Novocaine, the Depraved Dentist singer is shown to have these scars. It’s implied to be due to the dentist ripping off the jaw of the previous song’s singer and replacing their own with it.

* MonsterClown from Wrestling/{{AAA}} has one, with his forcibly-exposed teeth being yellow.
* Jessicka Havok sported two cuts on her face at ''Welcome To The [[Wrestling/{{CZW}} Combat Zone]]''. Though they had gotten better by ''The Heart Of Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}}'', Amber Gertner couldn't resist slipping in a reference.

* Doctor Loboto from ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' is the definition of the curlicue version; his lips are thin and go halfway up his head, ending in partial [[GothSpirals spirals]].
* While not a villain, [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Vincent Valentine]]'s Chaos form in ''VideoGame/DirgeOfCerberus'' has markings on his face that resemble a faint Glasgow smile.
* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'': It's only visible for a few seconds, but Psycho Mantis sports a small, half-Glasgow grin on the right side of his face; origins unknown.
* Double B. from ''VideoGame/AllPointsBulletin'' has a half-Glasgow Grin scar (it's also a selectable scar for player characters). Britney Bloodrose has a full one...''drawn on''.

* Mentioned in one of the Sniper's lines in ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2''
-->"I'm gonna cut a smile into ya!"
* You can choose a Glasgow Smile for your character in ''VideoGame/{{Brink}}'', and, just like in real life, it's permanent.
* Kefka Palazzo in ''VideoGame/{{Dissidia|FinalFantasy}}'' sports a Glasgow grin with his redesign for the ''Dissidia'' subseries of the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series, both the Creator/HeathLedger's Joker variation (normal form) and the more traditional variation (EX-mode)

* Alvina and the Great Felines from ''VideoGame/DarkSouls''. They're basically Catbeargators, with their grin coming from their alligator like mouths.
* Raiden, of all people, seems to possess this in ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance''.
** He had a similar, but less noticeable example in the ending of ''Metal Gear Solid 4''. [[spoiler:The reason is, before the fourth game began, Raiden's body was replaced by an artificial cyborg version, leaving only his head sans lower jaw intact. That line is where his organic parts connect the cybernetic parts.]]
* Every single hurlock from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' sports a Glasgow Grin. In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', they were modified to have a more skeletal appearance.
* Mileena's new character design in ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'' gives her a fully functional set of human lips, bordered on both ends by [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily razor-sharp Tarkatan teeth]] that form a menacing grin. This was not enough to make her ugly in the eyes of players however.
* Zant of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' has his mouth cut both upwards and downwards at each end of his lips, so he has both a Glasgow grin and a Glasgow frown at the same time overlapping each other so it is impossible to tell if he is smiling or frowning.

-->'''Strasse:''' You call me "Deathshead." I don't like it. (points to his grin) I'm a happy man. You see?
* ''VideoGame/SaltAndSanctuary'' has [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Lenaia, the Queen of Smiles]]. Following the death of her husband, the gregarious king Adnan, she began to spiral into violent madness as she fell under the influence of the [[EvilWeapon Black Widow]]. Her epithet as Queen of Smiles was earned by her habit of cutting a grotesque smile into the faces of the many, many people she had executed for increasingly frivolous and nonsensical reasons before hanging the corpses up as decoration. When her reign was finally cut short by a mob of vengeful villagers, it was seen fit to leave her with "the greatest smile of all." Judging by the state her wraith is in, they outdid her by ''[[FacialHorror tearing off her jaw]]''.
* ''VideoGame/SleepingDogs2012'' has "Big Smile" Lee, named for the giant scar that gives him a half-Chelsea Grin.
* ''VideoGame/GothamKnights2022'' [[AdaptationalUgliness sees]] Red Hood sport half of one of these.
* The ''Franchise/{{Injustice}}'' series sees both the main universe and the Regime universe version's of the Joker sport one of these, like in ''ComicBook/{{Joker}}'' and ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' and he inflict people with his Joker toxin.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Judecca}}'', it's Nayako's defining feature.

* The 15 Mar 2015 strip for ''Webcomic/{{Precocious}}'' has alt-text showing the artist likes the subtle hint of this when Dionne Crup's cheetah markings touch her mouth to give her a suggestion of this. And the only one who hasn't commented on her being utterly evil is the naive newcomer Ursula.

[[folder:Web Original]]

* The very first episode of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' features a Joker pulling a huge knife on Terry and declaring his intention to "put a ''smile'' on his face". This is probably something Jokers do a ''lot''.

* In the episode ''Good Hunting'' from ''WesternAnimation/LoveDeathAndRobots'', the bionic [[AsianFoxSpirit Huli jing]] prostitute Yan fights off the Governor of Hong Kong who was beating her and she reaches into the sides of his mouth and rips hard...
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/MightyMax'', [[BigBad Skullmaster]] holds Max hostage and threatens to "cut the boy a new smile."

* ''VideoGame/SleepingDogs'' has "Big Smile" Lee, named for the giant scar that gives him a half-Chelsea Grin.

* ''Film/{{Mirrors}}'': After Angela is murdered by her possessed reflection via {{Jawbreaker}}, the mutilated cavity where her mouth used to be looks like this on her corpse, and when the Mirror Demon manifests an apparition of her in a rear view mirror.

* ''Fanfic/DanganronpaMementoMori'': [[spoiler:[[DepravedDentist Luka]], true to the Kuchisake-onna urban legend, [[MaskingTheDeformity wears a face mask]] to cover up her scarred cheeks, revealing them during her VillainousBreakdown]].

* Robin shoots one to TheDragon Godfrey in Creator/RidleyScott's ''Film/{{Robin Hood|2010}}''.

* Punsy [=McKale=] in ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'' has a permanent smile. It gets [[TearJerker kind of sad]] when he's offended that someone is laughing at him when he himself is actually very sad after losing a pun-off and sheds a SingleTear.

* ''Film/TheHobbit'': [[Characters/MiddleEarthFilmIndependentVillains Smaug]]'s mouth has a curving shape to it which makes him look like a SmugSmiler when he's calm, and it outright looks like a SlasherSmile when he's baring his sharp teeth.
