Line #71 Main/FalseTeethTomfoolery

3	In real life, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentures false teeth]] are a sign of age, poor health/dental care, or a combo thereof. As such, they are typically not a laughing matter. However, in fiction, false teeth are usually treated as hilarious and/or gross.
4
5	In many cases, old people have no problem letting you know their teeth are false, and spitting or whipping them out to show you, still dripping with saliva. It's also not uncommon for the false teeth to be left behind either, due to biting into tough food (or even non-edible objects) or the person in question just forgetting about them and leaving them behind. And that's not getting into using them as musical instruments - they make good castanets, apparently. No matter what form it takes, the bottom line is this - false teeth are funny.
6
7	{{Phlegmings}} commonly overlaps with this trope. Compare and contrast CraniumChase, where a character getting decapitated is played for similar humor.

14	[[folder:Animation]]
15	* ''Animation/HappyHeroes'': In Season 5 episode 9, some mind-controlled elderly ladies spit their dentures at Happy S., and they go after him in an attempt to bite him.

18	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
19	* ''Weaponized'' by SharkMan Arlong in ''Manga/OnePiece'', with his actual teeth. He can remove his teeth (somehow still in one castanet-shaped piece) and use them as handheld ... bitey-things. He can also do this repeatedly, leading to him DualWielding sets of teeth in his hands while biting with his mouth.
20	[[/folder]]

22	[[folder:Comic Strips]]
23	* This is a common theme in ''ComicStrip/TheBroons''.
24	* ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'':
25	** In one strip, Jon had a blind date with an older woman. He called her to let her know he found her teeth.
26	** In another strip, neighbor Mrs. Feeny called to complain (with difficulty) that Garfield had stolen her dentures.
27	-->'''Garfield:''' She'll have to arm wrestle my sock puppet for them.
28	** Yet another strip had Garfield attempt to open a bottle with his teeth, only to get his dentures stuck.
29	** The October 25, 2022 strip has Garfield watch a movie on TV about a vampire who has to put his dentures in before he can feed on his victim.

31	* ''ComicStrip/BeetleBailey'': The General tries to demonstrate PinPullingTeeth and ends up throwing a grenade with his dentures attached to it.

This also sometimes happens when a Spy gets shot in the face, as their teeth will be launched almost off-panel. This was more common during Prohias' initial tenure on the comic, as he preferred to depict the Spies' rivalry as BloodlessCarnage, closer to slapstick than murder.
