'''Basic Trope''': A usually [[TheStoic stoic]] character tries to smile, but it ends up being creepy.
* '''Straight''': Bob, who has never been seen smiling, finally does, but it heads straight into the UncannyValley.
* '''Exaggerated''': Bob, who has never been seen smiling, finally does, but his [[SlasherSmile smile]] twists and stretches his facial features in ways that people normally insist are physically impossible.
* '''Downplayed''': Bob, who has never been seen smiling, finally does, but it looks somewhat creepy until he gets it under control.
* '''Justified''':
** Bob, while attractive in real life, is just not very photogenic.
** Bob can smile just fine when he has something to smile about. ''Faking'' a smile, on the other hand, gives Bob a CentipedesDilemma which makes him screw it up.
* '''Inverted''': WhenSheSmiles.
* '''Subverted''': Bob slowly smiles, and it seems to be heading into the uncanny valley, but becomes cute smile.
* '''Double Subverted''': ...Then it keeps going into creepiness.
* '''Parodied''': Bob's smile is so horrible to look at that every adult around him [[BringMyBrownPants loses]] [[PottyFailure bladder control]], while all infants and children in the nearby area start to cry.
* '''Zig Zagged''':
** Bob's smiles can either be this or WhenSheSmiles, often without rhyme or reason.
** Bob's smile is CreepyCute.
* '''Averted''': Bob's smile is in no way creepy.
* '''Enforced''': When the actor playing Bob smiles, it really does look creepy, and he'd need a plastic surgeon, an orthodontist, and a specialized facial expression coach to change that. So instead, Bob's creepy smile is [[ThrowItIn just thrown in]] as a genuine character trait.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Is that a smile or did you lose a fight with a weed whacker?"
* '''Invoked''': "We want to use Stoic Bob in a joke. I wonder how..."
* '''Exploited''':
** Bob's creepy smile is used to distract a guard so they can sneak in somewhere.
** Bob uses his creepy smile to intimidate someone.
* '''Defied''': Bob refuses to even try to smile.
* '''Discussed''': "So why did we ask Bob to smile again?" "Who knows? I really wish we hadn't. It's creepy."
* '''Conversed''': "Bob really looks better when he doesn't smile. It's actually quite unsettling."
* '''Deconstructed''': Bob was in a horrible accident years ago, and the facial nerves and muscles didn't heal right.
* '''Reconstructed''': There is nothing that Bob wants to smile about anyway.
* '''Implied''': The audience never sees Bob's smile, but Alice seems quite unnerved by it.
