* ''Franchise/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.]]

--> [[LetsPlay/HellfireCommentaries '''FTA:''']] Sonic Unleashed, sponsored by Colgate.

* Lyle Waggoner's trademark, especially in ''Series/TheCarolBurnettShow'' and ''Series/WonderWoman''.

* The Great Leslie (Creator/TonyCurtis) had an audible twinkle when he smiled at Maggie [=DuBois=] (NatalieWood) in ''Film/TheGreatRace''. She visibly reacted, so apparently it wasn't just the audience who heard it.

''My shiny teeth and me! (Shiny teeth, shiny teeth)''

* ''Series/NightAndDay'' repeatedly superimposes a cartoon-like twinkle (complete with AudibleGleam) on the teeth of character Django Doyle; he's a cheesy pop star and superficially charming chap, and on the surface this trope is used to imply a kind of physical perfection. However, the show blurs the border between this and AudibleSharpness as it becomes clear he's in fact come to town with the intention of murdering his father. His shark-like quality is played upon repeatedly, to the extent that he is often seen lurking menacingly in the Doyles' hot-tub, and at one point performs a fairly disturbing rendition of Frank Sinatra's song 'Mack the Knife' (which references sharks repeatedly).
