History Main / BigOlUnibrow

If a female has one, it's typically meant to show that she's unattractive. These are a typical uncool feature of {{Nerd}} girls.

* ''Mother Bruce'' series: Bruce the literal GrumpyBear has a very thick unibrow.

* Tim Lockwood, the main protagonist's dad in ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs''. It also works as BlindingBangs, obscuring his eyes most of the time. When we do see his eyes, it's PlayedForLaughs.

* The man whose eyebrows are connected and who has a gold tooth, in ''VideoGame/EarthBound''. Granted, he's also [[{{Invisibility}} invisible]], so you have to take his word for it.

* [[ComicBook/{{Bone}} Phoney Bone]], not especially evil, but more than often a {{Jerkass}}.

* ''VideoGame/WardenMelodyOfTheUndergrowth'': EmperorMagulus has a huge unibrow. His could be considered more a "Badass Unibrow" since he can slice through vines with one swing of his sword.

* General Molotov from ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes''.

* Buford from ''WesternAnimation/NumbChucks''.

* Cupcake from ''WesternAnimation/CupcakeAndDinoGeneralServices'' has one.

* And of course we cannot forget ''Creators/MehdiSadaghdar'', who has managed to keep a majestic unibrow for years despite regularly getting into situations where [[ElectricTorture it could easily be singed off].

* Mosquito of ''Manga/SoulEater'' has one that also droops considerably off each side. [[GrossupCloseup Close-ups]] show the thing is actually [[http://manga.redhawkscans.com/reader/read/soul_eater/en/0/45/page/42 A SOLID OBJECT]] rather than hair.

* [[Franchise/HarryPotter Harry's]] physical training instructor in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8831374/2/The-Power-of-the-Press The Power of the Press]]'' has one, in addition to being a bit of a DrillSergeantNasty.

[[AC: Film- Animated]]
* Sir Ruber from [[WesternAnimation/QuestForCamelot Quest for Camelot]]. Well, not really a unibrow, but his eyebrows are just so close to touching each other that whenever he scowls or smirks, it almost looks like he has a long red eyebrow.

** [[TheBully Harold]] also has one, however, [[TookALevelInKindness he became much less of a bully as the show went on]], making him something between both types. Ironically enough, Harold [[HypocriticalHumor makes fun of Helga's unibrow in at least one episode.]]

Army, the most aggressive of [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Ruby Squad]], and Hessonite, the BigBad of ''VideoGame/SaveTheLight'', also have these.

* As shown in the picture, Gerald Samson, [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Maggie Simpson's]] nemesis.

** Ironically, despite the unibrow, Moordryd is typically considered the most attractive guy on the show by fans. Go figure.
* Mosquito of ''Manga/SoulEater'' has one that also droops considerably off each side. [[GrossupCloseup Close-ups]] show the thing is actually [[http://manga.redhawkscans.com/reader/read/soul_eater/en/0/45/page/42 A SOLID OBJECT]] rather than hair.

* Gromit of ''WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit'' isn't strictly modeled with eyebrows at all, but his forehead is so flexible and expressive that it almost acts as a unibrow.

Ah, the Unibrow. Not generally considered the most attractive kind of facial hair on the market. So like most kinds of unfashionable/unattractive appearance, characters sporting one are mostly consigned to being either [[BeautyEqualsGoodness evil]], or [[{{Gonk}} comical]].

* Unibrows are the signature trait of the despicable, disgusting [=McPoyle=] family from ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia''. It's a result of all the [[IncestIsRelative inbreeding]].

[[caption-width-right:269:That baby is plotting something.]]

* Poppy from Lola and Virginia. Instead of being evil or comedy, she's one of the main character's two best friends. Visually the unibrow is played as part of her tough, tomboy image. But plotwise it's not really an issue and isn't even pointed out by the other characters.
