History PuppyDogEyes / LiveActionTV

** The Tenth Doctor as played by Creator/DavidTennant has possibly the [[http://www.azurite.ca/dw/doomsday.jpg hugest puppy dog eyes]] to ever exist in the show.

** Clara does it in "Dark Water" to the point where it annoys the Doctor:

** The main character, [[HonorBeforeReason Scott]] [[TurntheOtherCheek McCall]] has the most goddamn adorable big brown puppy-dog eyes.

Kate Argent, the ''most'' heart''less'' character on the show, cannot resist them and says, "you, with the adorable brown eyes(, drop your bike, you're staying for dinner) " and "...because I ''really'' do love those '''''adorable brown eyes'''''."

** [spoiler: Daniel Sharman (who played Isaac in TW)once again gets to show his off as Kaleb, who is actually Original Vampire Kol]
** In ''Series/EightSimpleRules'', Kerry is so good at this that the other characters actually gave a ''name'' for it: "The Kerry Face".

* In ''Series/EightSimpleRules'', Kerry is so good at this that the other characters actually gave a ''name'' for it: "The Kerry Face".
* ''Series/{{House}}'':
** Dr. Cameron has big eyes and looks like a sad little kitten quite often, usually when somebody points out she takes things way too personally and that she should act more like a doctor, not a friend, when dealing with patients.
** Dr. Wilson has big chocolate eyes. Cynical House, MD sometimes laughs at him for it.
** Dr. House isn't exactly adverse to looking like a kicked puppy when someone hurts him in one of his weak spots, either. His initial reaction to his cane snapping in half in "Safe" and his emotional moments with Stacy are good examples.
--->'''Cuddy:''' I'm here if you need me.\\
'''House:''' ...I need you.
*** For a more deliberate (and hilarious) version of this trope, see "Deception", where House needs a lab technician to run twenty-nine tests on one cc of blood. She refuses. House compliments her eyes. She starts to say something sardonic and turns--House, chin on a nearby centrifuge, slight sad smile, eyebrows up, gives her a soulful blue look. She did the tests.
* Lt. George from the fourth season of ''Series/{{Blackadder}}'' can do a particularly heart-rending version. Creator/HughLaurie has a talent for looking like a kicked puppy.
-->'''Lt. George:''' Permission for lip to wobble, sir?

** Nobody can resist Sam's Puppy-Dog Eyes Of Doom, ''nobody''. And he knows it, too.

** The main character, Scott [=McCall=], has the most goddamn adorable big brown puppy-dog eyes. Add to that his heart-melting smile, and you have to either be A) heartless, or B) Mama [=McCall=] to not succumb to it. Kate Argent, the ''most'' heart''less'' character on the show, cannot resist them and says, "you, with the adorable brown eyes, [drop your bike, you're staying for dinner]" and "...because I ''really'' do love those '''''adorable brown eyes'''''." (Although once Kate finds out Scott's secret, well...if you saw Code Breaker, you'd know.)

** Isaac; when Dereck kicks him out of his pack, and after Alison dies and he goes home with her dad. (Mr. A. goes on about how he can compartmentalize his emotions, and Isaac says, "But ''I'' '''can't'''!" It would take a meaner person than Mr. A. not to hug him.

** Jeremy Gilbert, Tyler Lockwood, and Klaus Mikaelson are all highly skilled at this.

* ''Series/{{Mash}}'': Col. Potter pleads with Hawkeye and B.J. to make Maj. Burns feel like part of the gang, and the two consent to it. Hawkeye says "How can I resist those big Colonel eyes?"

*** And ''then'' the female Q pops in, demands to know what Janeway's doing with "that dog", and clarifies that she's not talking about the ''puppy''.

* In {{Psych}}, nearly all of the characters (with the exception of Henry Spencer) were capable of this trope. Most notably, [[http://38.media.tumblr.com/6c7802831392c3bae56ff997ed6d8f31/tumblr_mmjvyybfpb1qjd7uzo4_250.gif Gus]], who is also a sympathetic cryer.

** Buffy tries the wounded look on Giles, to get out of training and go to a party. He stoically resists.

* Annie in ''Series/{{Community}}'' uses this often to manipulate the group. Jeff explains this look as her "{{Disney}} Face" when she uses it to try to keep the group from being mad at her when she does something that might have made them have to retake a class.

** Occasionally used by the Delgado incarnation of the Master when [[HoistByHisOwnPetard his own evil schemes get him into trouble]] and [[SaveTheVillain he needs the Doctor to bail him out]].

** Nobody can resist Sam's Puppy-Dog Eyes Of Doom, '''''nobody'''''. And he knows it, too.

** Castiel pulls off this look as well, particularly when he's confused by something, from his very first appearance--probably one of the main reasons [[MrFanservice he's so popular in the show...]]

** Buffy herself tries it on Giles, to get out of training and go to a party. He stoically resists.

** Angel himself. At least one review of the show placed at least part of the shows success on David Boreanaz's ability to always look like a slapped puppy.

** Isaac; when Dereck kicks him out of his pack, and after Alison dies and he goes home with her dad. (Mr. A. goes on about how he can compartamentalize his emotions, and Isaac says, "But [I]I[/I][b]can't![/b]" It would take a meaner person than Mr. A. not to hug him.

--->Troy: (having just lost at basketball) Don’t gloat, it’s impossible to guard you, your eyes are too gentle and mysterious.
