Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


Most people have 32 teeth, and in animation it isn't always [[ConservationOfDetail practical]] to draw each individual tooth in a character's mouth. In some case it can run the risk of careening down the UncannyValley. Because of this, a popular way of simplifying teeth is to draw them as a solid toothy mass stretching from one side of the mouth to the other.

* Pretty much anyone in a Creator/SethMacFarlane series. Especially Mr. Bottomtooth of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', a pretentious rich guy with a single bottom tooth. His son shares this trait. Strangely, Herbert the creepy pedophile also has tooth strips when he laughs or chuckles, despite not having most of his teeth. The end of the episode "Mind Over Murder" takes this to an even more bizarre extreme;[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy9stgjQ60Y Stewie's teeth have teeth]].

Contrast with BritishTeeth and MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily when you really do mean to see each one of those pearly whites. TombstoneTeeth are a lesser degree of simplification where the teeth are drawn individually, but just as rectangles.
