* This was a plot point in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum'', where Fanboy thought he was a vampire and wanted to bite Chum Chum's neck to make him one, too, but Chum Chum ordinarily doesn't have a neck. They go to [[StevenUlyssesPerhero Dr. Acula]] to get him a neck, and the one he gets is comically long.

* While the characters of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' are known for outrageous fashions, they tend to have normal enough bodies unless they're vampires or are otherwise supernatural. Part 5, ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Golden Wind]]'', has a few exceptions, however.
** Pesci's head inexplicably has the shape of a carrot rising from between his shoulders, complete with green hair, leaving no distinction between his head and what you would expect to be his neck. He's seen as the chump of his squad as well.
** Carne just seems to have no neck at all.
** Polpo is not only so morbidly obese that he has an extra chin instead of a neck, he's outright AmbiguouslyHuman.

* Pipimi and Popuko of ''Manga/PopTeamEpic'' count under this. Popuko is the straighter example of the two, having the height and invisible neck typical of most trope qualifiers. Pipimi on the other hand has no visible separation of neck and head, being either one long face or a stylistic representation of her being tall. However, she still gets used for neck gags (such as her [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Lesser Dog]] parody).

** The title character is short and [[BigFun pudgy]] enough to be drawn with no neck [[DependingOnTheArtist most of the time]]. In [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E13SoManyBirthdays "So Many Birthdays"]], Steven is subject to RapidAging that makes him gain a visible neck as a teen, then lose it again as he reaches middle age. By the time he's sixteen in ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseTheMovie'', Steven's neck is normally visible ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydJrPHK2Db8 which the movie's publicity takes special mention of]]). It is even lampshaded by Amethyst in "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E26StevensBirthday Steven's Birthday]]" after he used shapeshifting to pretend he got taller:

Note that this is different from a {{Cephalothorax}} or a WaddlingHead, who basically is just a head with arms and legs. A No-Neck Chump has a "normal" body, minus a neck. Related to RingAroundTheCollar.
