This is mainly seen on LeanAndMean characters. It is usually seen on a DastardlyWhiplash, a WickedWitch, or a VillainousHarlequin. It's also a frequent feature of {{Classical Movie Vampire}}s and characters who [[LooksLikeOrlok Look Like Orlok]], though neither Creator/BelaLugosi's Dracula nor Creator/MaxSchreck's Count Orlok possessed the feature themselves.[[note]]Lugosi had a broad chin bordering on being lantern jaw with slight but noticeable jowls, and Schreck's chin was round and somewhat underdeveloped, though it appeared slightly more pointed than it was in some shots due to being accented by his sharply angled VillainousCheekbones.[[/note]]

** [[AsianRudeness Di]] [[InsufferableGenius Lung]]'s presumable EvilCounterpart to Eustace Bagge's Main/LanternJawOfJustice also deserves special mention; whenever he gets a major "villain" role in an episode, he makes Eustace look like a ''hero''.
