* Mostly everyone in ''TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'' cartoon has this feature, a rare modern usage not meant as a throwback.
* ''MOTHER1'' clay models had these kind of eyes on Ninten and Ana. Loid and Teddy's aren't apparent because they wear OpaqueNerdGlasses and CoolShades respectively.

* Mr. Hanky, from ''SouthPark''.

* ''MOTHER1'' clay models had these kind of eyes on Ninten and Ana. Loid and Teddy's aren't apparent because they wear OpaqueNerdGlasses and CoolShades respectively.

* The song "The Ghost of Stephen Foster" by the Squirrel Nut Zippers had an AnimatedMusicVideo that paid homage to the MaxAndDaveFleischer cartoons of the 1930's. Every character in the video is pie-eyed.

During [[TheSilentAgeOfAnimation the 1920s]] and going into the [[TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation 1930s]], animated characters tended to have eyes or pupils which were black and circular, but shaped like a pie that's had one slice removed from it. This was widespread until around the time color became the standard for most cartoons in the early 1940s, by which time WesternAnimation as a whole had undergone significant ArtEvolution.

When it shows up in modern media, it's usually as [[{{Retraux}} an homage or throwback]]. Parodies of cartoons of the black-and-white era will almost always employ this along with RubberHoseLimbs and the like.
