History Main / TwinkleSmile

* In an episode of ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' where [=McGee=] fell asleep and overbleached his teeth, the end-of-episode shot (where the still goes monochrome) adds a twinkle to his teeth, complete with [[AudibleGleam the appropriate sound effect]].

** Taken UpToEleven in ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriorsAgeOfCalamity'': Using Sidon's ZR ability without attacking will make him do the pose, which will both create a minor suction effect and damage enemies, meaning that, given enough time, Sidon could use his smile to defeat the forces of Ganon!

-->'''Yamcha:''' Ha! Whatever! Anyone ever tell you your ''[[IncrediblyLamePun mummy]]'' dresses you funny? ''(twinkle)''

* ''ComicBook/TheSandman'': The Corinthian's smile. All [[TooManyMouths three]] [[NightmareFuel of them.]]

* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', Prince Sidon can hardly get through a conversation without doing this at least once; and sometimes twice. The ''Champions' Ballad'' DLC shows he started as a child.

Note that this is different from when teeth sparkle menacingly to show how sharp they are and how bad the impending bite is going to hurt. For those cases, see AudibleSharpness. In slightly more realistic circumstances, someone's smile might also sparkle because of a GoldTooth. See also BishieSparkle and WinkDing, other sparkly ways to denote grandeur. When combined with a FascinatingEyebrow and DrearyHalfLiddedEyes, you get a DreamWorksFace.

** Pinkie Pie does a variation of this after demonstrating she's able to dispel illusionary "monsters" by laughing at them. She smiles a white, toothy smile, but it's her eye that gleams. (The sound effect also seems to be a part of the magic being undone rather than AudibleGleam but otherwise, you'd have two in a row.) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tiynTPuUUM]]

* The original ''Film/HomeAlone'' movie has Joe Pesci's Harry's gold tooth gleam to Kevin... which serves as an indicator that he's the cop who would "protect" the house while they were on vacation.

* [[JokeCharacter Dan Hibiki]]'s "Legendary Taunt" ultra move in ''{{Street Fighter}} 4'' ends with him giving a thumbs up and a twinkling smile right through the {{fourth wall}}.

* In Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'', during the song "Zero to Hero", Herc gives one of these to an adoring crowd.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'', where Aladdin is first revealed as "Prince Ali" (in the musical number).
* In Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'', during the song "Zero to Hero", Herc gives one of these to an adoring crowd.

* Ron Ely as ''Franchise/DocSavage'' in the 1975 film ''Film/DocSavageTheManOfBronze''.

* ''Toys/EverAfterHigh'' has Prince Daring, whose smile is so bright the Headmaster tells him to cover his mouth, since it can [[BlindedByTheLight temporarily blind people]] and [[UpToEleven even roast them.]]

* [[WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain Brain]] once tried to use one that made people adore him for no particular reason to TakeOverTheWorld.

* [[PrettyBoy Prince Peasley]] in ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'' has a smile so bright, it [[ExaggeratedTrope regularly whites out the entire screen]].
** That's actually him tossing his hair back.

* ''Series/WonderWoman'': Season 1 and the first eight episodes of Season 2 featured an animated to live-action TitleSequence. In both sequences, Steve Trevor had a TwinkleSmile while Wonder Woman's eyes similarly sparkled. This was Lyle Waggoner's trademark that was also seen in ''Series/TheCarolBurnettShow''.

* Ron Ely as ''Franchise/DocSavage'' in the 1975 film ''Film/DocSavage: Man of Bronze''.

* On an episode of ''Series/AmericasFunniestHomeVideos'' host Tom Bergeron mentions how lucky the channels was to pick him as host and produces a proud pose with a twinkle smile.
