History Main / TheFaceOfTheSun

* Vitalite sunflower spread in the UK had a sun, in sunglasses, singing about the spread to the tune of the Desmond Dekker song "Israelites", with a sunflower backing group. One ad also had a cameo from [[PlayingWithATrope the face of the moon]], who took over when the sun RageQuit over his inability to make "polyunsaturates" rhyme with anything (with an insult from the moon persuading the sun to return at the last minute).

* In the ending of ''VideoGame/KidIcarus: Of Myths and Monsters'', Pit's wings fall/rip off in front of an overly [[SlasherSmile happy looking]] sun, presumably leaving Pit to plummet to his death. No wonder it's called Kid ''Icarus''.

A common depiction of the sun in more lighthearted fare, such as children's and [[AnimationAgeGhetto animated]] media, is that of a large yellow disc with rays perpetually coming out and a human face, often wearing sunglasses, which leads to the [[FridgeLogic question]] of why the sun would need protection from its own rays. ([[IncrediblyLamePun Well, what other glasses would the sun wear than SUNglasses?]]) Plus, if your head emitted as much light as the sun does, you would probably need something to protect yourself from the harmful rays of... [[FridgeBrilliance yourself]].

* The infamous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39FB2aXN85A "The Dawn Is Your Enemy"]] bumper by [adult swim] uses this for [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NightmareFuel horror]].

* The ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' second season finale has a scene set on a planet lit by a sun with a face...and NoIndoorVoice, as it apparently screams as loud as it can for 42 straight hours every day.

* The [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d4/Screamadelica_album_cover.jpg cover]] of Music/PrimalScream's ''Music/{{Screamadelica}}'' is a blue-and-yellow "psychedelic sunburst" with childish eyes painted by Paul Cannell.

* A commonly accepted way to get the obligatory Colin Mochrie reference into WebAnimation/{{Animutation}}s is to put his face in the sun, a reference to the one and only ''Hyakugojyuuichi!!'' - which in it itself was probably a reference to the ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}'' sun.
