Suppose you see a gorgeous woman walking down the street. Your eyes pan up the long, luscious legs, those beautiful hips swaying oh so nicely, that slim waist, and of course, those bazooms... butter face, somethin' ain't right about 'er face... In short, everything is great about her but her face! Get it? "But her face"? Butter face? This is when a woman is otherwise a total package, but Mother Nature didn't complete the package and she has a face with the shapelessness and sliminess of butter. The kind of face that makes you want to put a bag over it. Often Played for Laughs in cartoons and comedy films. In gags, the woman will often be wearing a Mysterious Veil, setting up for The Reveal. This woman often ends up being an Abhorrent Admirer. Somewhat the opposite of the Gorgeous Gorgon. If a character scores with her, alcohol is usually involved. Although this is mostly intended for female characters, the trope is unisex. Often overlaps with Fan Disservice. Also known by the acronym BOBFOC ("Body Off Baywatch, Face Off Crimewatch"). Given the usual attempt for a male observer to get closer for a better look (and looking in exactly the order listed above) this may also be known as "Good from far, far from good". Compare with Cute Creature, Creepy Mouth, where an otherwise cute creature has a disturbing mouth. The term for a man with a good body but ugly face is a Shrimp Guy, because you want to remove the head before eating. Needless to say, this is a hugely impolite thing to say to or about another person; for which reason we want No Real Life Examples, Please! noreallife |

Watchmen: Some fans consider Rorschach to be one. Since he spends his nights beating up criminals twice his size, he at the very least must be quite fit. Emphasized in the film, where Rorschach is very muscular but somewhat lacking in the face department. It might explain why he considers his mask to be his true face. | |

Manga Soprano: "I was forcibly taken to the pool by a woman with a great figure.But she was ugly face, so ..." [sic]: Maki has a great body and cute eyes but wears a mask to hide her manly, ugly face from the eyes down. "A woman with a great style but not a great face tried to stand out at a wedding": Mayu is a friend of Ram's from school and is quite confident in her attractive body. However, she has a long chin that makes her face look masculine. "A misunderstood woman who pretends to be a lover when she is not even in a relationship": Misato has a nice body, but her face is full of wrinkles. She tries to act cute around her male coworkers, but they are grossed out. "The tragedy of a misunderstood woman who can't stop boasting about her beautiful hair,": Sarah has an attractive body and luscious hair, charming any man who looked at her from behind until she turned to face them, which scared them off because her face looked, in Haru's words, "like a Noh mask." "The result of a junior who pretended to be drunk at a company drinking party clung to a man…": Minami has an attractive body and will take every opportunity to brag about it while comparing her senior coworker Kanade to herself. However, once she takes off her mask to seduce Alto, it's revealed her face is unattractive from the nose down. "When a beautiful woman with outstanding style takes off her mask for a meal…": Ruri has an attractive body and likes to flaunt it while mocking her friend Haru for her "toddler-like" body. However, when she takes off her mask, it reveals a grotesque overbite that drives guys away in disgust. "When a woman who boasts of style takes off her mask, the shock develops": Saki has an attractive body and misunderstands boys whenever they help her, acting as if they fell in love with her. When they went to the pool, she bragged about how beautiful she was and sought to have Narita as her boyfriend while mocking Haru's underdeveloped body. However, once her mask slipped off on the waterslide, it exposed her ugly face. "Teacher Brags About Her Nice Body → But When A New Teacher Tells Her Something Shocking…": Coach Miyu always wore a cap and goggles in swimming class while flaunting her attractive body, acting sweet around the male students and picking on female students' appearances whenever the latter group complained about her unprofessional behavior. However, when her cap and goggles come off after she fell into the pool, her ugly face is revealed and the boys who previously fawned over her become repulsed by her face. |

Bleach: Subverted with Tier Harribel, who has a gorgeous body. When she unzips her jacket (which hides the lower half of her face), it reveals a skeletal jaw in keeping with her shark Animal Motif. However, once she enters resurrecion, the bony lower half of her face turns out to be a mask which breaks to reveal that what lies beneath is just as beautiful as the rest of her. | |

Douji Kodama's mother Ryoko in Black Joke has an absolutely smoking body, especially for a 53-year old woman. However, she bears an Uncanny Family Resemblance to her son, and thus has a face like a bull's — a flat, wide nose and beady eyes that are much too far apart. | |

In the Heroes tie in online graphic novels, Company agent Penny Logan has a nice enough figure but a face that causes her mother (who has the power to shapeshift other people) to give her a different one for the purpose of her scoring a date once. Whether her face is just a bit plain next to the other characters or has lips that are too thin, cheeks too wide, a nose that's too big or some combination of the three is Depending on the Artist. | |

The Looney Tunes short "A Gander at Mother Goose" uses this gag in the short's take on Little Miss Muffett. Miss Muffett is depicted as a curvaceous woman viewed from the back who turns out to have a comically ugly face, resulting in her frightening the spider away rather than the other way around. | |

This trope is discussed in Battlefield: Bad Company. Most of the squad, Sweetwater in particular, expresses adoration for Mike-One-Juliet based on nothing but the sound of her voice. Eventually, however, Haggard questions whether that automatically means she's physically as beautiful as Sweetwater imagines, noting that he has a cousin with a beautiful voice "but a face like a can of dog food". | |

Attack on Titan pulls this off on the two depictions of females holding the Founding Titan. In these forms, their large, nude bodies have the female curves to them, but the faces are anything but what one would call pretty. When Frieda Reiss turned into the Founding Titan, her face was absolutely demonic with teeth bared and crazy eyes. Depictions of Ymir Fritz in her Founding Titan form showed that her head was lacking any skin and was nothing but a skull with hair. | |

In the Supernatural episode "Frontierland", Dean travels back in time to The Wild West, and is looking forward to getting on with the saloon girls, unfortunately they're a bit too homely for his taste. Another girl flounces down the staircase, only when we see her face, she's not only homely but also has skin blemishes hinting at certain social diseases. Dean is bending backwards over the bar as she tries to smooch him, when fortunately a man who'd already booked her interrupts. | |

Atomic Heart has the Twins, who much like the nuns from Silent Hill above lack faces entirely and can easily be in the Uncanny Valley, but more than make it up to it with shapely figures that look like Soviet Playboy Fembot models. Heck, their trailer scene literally has sexual connotations to it, though that last part can be seen as quite disturbing for some. | |

Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go: Zig-Zagging Trope with the Princess in "World of Giants". At first, she appears as a beautiful, giant woman wearing a veil that hides her face. When she removes her veil and reveals to the heroes (and us) just how hideous she is, her body (somehow) transforms from slender and curvaceous to ugly and overweight to match her unattractive face. | |

This was often a gag on The Benny Hill Show, in a manner similar to the Spaceballs example above (the "female" actor would actually be a man in drag, often with a rugged face and a beard). Often a twist on the concept would be skits when Benny would be dancing with four other dancers. The partners of the other three would come out, one at a time, and be spectacularly beautiful, with Benny anticipating his to be equally sexy, only for her to come out and be extremely homely. One of his more memorable sketches was a spoof called Archie's Angels, where he and three other men played very homely expies of Charlie's Angels. It's even lampshaded. |

Ms. Demeanor of C.O.P.S. (1988) is a tall, muscular yet full-figured woman with a less than attractive face, sporting pronounced cheekbones, a narrow and pointy chin, and cruel eyes. It was even a plot point in one story in the comics: she was originally a beautiful woman who was going to marry Berserko, but an experiment by Dr. Badvibes gave her the face she has in the cartoon, which made her so ugly that Berserko called the wedding off in disgust. | |

The titular villain of The Beetle is initially described as being so hideous “it was impossible such a creature could be feminine�, and most people assume she is a man. After she transforms back into a human in front of Sydney Atherton he sees that not only is the Beetle a woman, she's "by no means old or ill-shaped either." | |

In Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Eddie Valiant sees what he thinks is the silhouette of Jessica Rabbit in the window of an apartment. But it turns out that it's Lena Hyena, who somehow managed to make herself look just like Jessica (toon physics or something), excluding the face. As soon as she saw Eddie, the rest of it unraveled. | |

Used in a much more serious context in The Yagyu Ninja Scrolls, when Big Bad Wannabe Akinari and his Seven Spears try to slander both the "Hannya Mask" (Jubei) and O-Senhime by having recently-married couples kidnapped. The grooms are tied up and raped by beautiful girls who are forced to wear horrible Hannya Masks to scare them. | |

The Twilight Zone (1959): A complete inversion of this trope occurs in the episode "Eye of the Beholder". The main character's face — bandaged until the reveal at the end — is just as beautiful as her body... but to the standards of all other characters — who have hideous faces — she is the one with the butter face. | |

Referenced in Aztec. In Nahuatl, there's a spirit in some areas called the Xtabai, who appears first as a flame, and then a beautiful naked woman who dances a ways off, but the unwary traveller can't see her face. When she's lured him to quicksand, she reveals her face to him, and it's a grinning skull. When Mixtli follows the flame, he finds some sort of muck that smells like rotten eggs, and comments that no matter how beautiful, no one would want the Xtabai if she reeks like that. It turns out to be useful, though, as the muck is a sort of tar that is good fuel for his fire. | |

Clover in PAYDAY 2 was made with the trope in mind due to the player base wanting to avoid the stereotypical hot female action character many video games use. Bonnie and Joy were also made in a similar fashion, the former having Delinquent Hair, the latter having a Tom Boy motif. Sydney and Hila are the only ones that could be considered "Attractive", though this is down to sharing their faces with their VA's, Sydney has Georgia Van Cuylenberg, and Hila has Hila Klein) | |

Space Adventure Cobra had several minor female characters who were mostly beautiful humanoids except for their grotesque alien faces, like a mouse lady during the Mt. Mayfly arc and the scorpion woman from the opening scene of the Hell Crusaders arc. This trope was noticeably used by Buichi Terasawa to get away with drawing topless women with defined nipples under the excuse of Fan Disservice. | |

Mortal Kombat: Mileena has become one of the best-known Butter faces in video games (Johnny Cage even calls her such in Mortal Kombat X). At first she looks like your typical Femme Fatale in a purple ninja outfit. That is, until she takes off her mask and turns out to have More Teeth than the Osmond Family. This is due to being part-Tarkatan (like Baraka, below). In spite of all this, Mileena still tends to be considered attractive by fans. Downplayed in Mortal Kombat X: her face looks more humanlike, with a fully functional set of lips. She still has rows of Tarkatan teeth lining her cheeks in a menacing Glasgow Grin, though. Mortal Kombat 1 further downplays this one: In this incarnation, Mileena is not locked into permanent Tarkatan face, but the Tarkat is now a disease she contracted and one of the symptoms is that she will end up having her face disfigured. There is a time when Mileena is just traditionally attractive, and she still makes the best out of her eventual Butter Face with other virtues. Same can be said about Baraka, a Rare Male Example, whose body is muscular in an attractive way but whose face is anything but attractive. Shao Kahn is another male example. The guy has the physique of a bodybuilder and normally wears little else than a loincloth, boots, shoulderpads, and a harness. He also normally wears a full-faced helmet, but when he doesn't... except in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, where he has a normal human face (specifically, that of Brian Thompson) under the helmet. He also has a normal human face in Mortal Kombat: Legacy. |

The Legend of Zelda: In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, the Dark World Great Fairy has a monstrous face due to Ganon's curse. The Great Fairies from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask have long legs, large (albeit strangely-shaped, due to the low processing power of the Nintendo 64) breasts, and no clothing but vines. Despite this, their noses are large and misshapen, they each have a single mole on the side of their face, and their mouths are cartoonishly large. All of which is mostly an issue brought about by the N64's graphics limitations; when this Great Fairy design was used in Hyrule Warriors, the Wii U's significantly more advanced hardware allows them to be rendered with greater detail, making them significantly prettier. |

Garfield and Friends: The U.S. Acres cartoon "The Ugly Duckling" has Wade Duck in the title role, and is so hideous he has to wear a paper bag over his head to hide his "ugly face". He ultimately weaponizes it when the bag comes off, as his face is so ugly, it frightens and repulses the Wicked Witch of the Wool and her Lackeys. This actually gives him the confidence to be proud of his ugliness from then on... and it doesn't hurt that he has thousands of 'He's so ugly' jokes about himself to use up. | |

Inverted in the Brickleberry episode "Hello Dottie". When Woody outsources most of his employees' jobs to India (as in he has the work done by robots which are being remote controlled from India), Steve falls in love with one of the outsource workers, whose face is shown on a monitor mounted on the robot. Eventually, he decides to fly to India to meet her in person. When he arrives, he discovers that below her beautiful face, she is grossly overweight, with hairy man arms. Steve promptly heads back to America. | |

In an episode of A Different World, Dwayne and Ron are admiring the shapely figure of a young woman who is facing away from them. Dwayne wants to go and talk to her, but Ron cautions him: "This could be a case of dreamboat body, but shipwreck face!" Dwayne comes up with an idea—he sneezes, knowing the woman will likely turn toward the sound. Sure enough, she's hideous, and the guys are horrified. | |

Crayon Shin-chan does this as a recurring Running Gag, mostly revolving around the titular character's (often unsuccefssful) attempts to flirt with women far older than him. Notably one chapter where the Noharas are at a skating rink and Shin-Chan, seeing a slim lady with an attractive-looking, shapely body from behind, decide to "accidentally" bump into her from behind so she's help him up. The lady then turns around, only to be revealed as a hideous-looking woman with a shaved double-chin. | |

The Kuchisake-Onna. Genuinely beautiful, until she shows you her Glasgow Grin and asks if you think she's pretty with it. If you say no, she kills you for being rude. If you say yes, she kills you for being a liar. You can weird her out by asking if you are beautiful, or confuse her by saying she's average or only a little pretty. She'll leave, either out of ire or not knowing what to do next. | |

In the pilot, Leela is introduced this way, as Fry only sees her from behind until she turns around, revealing her single, giant eye. Since she looks perfectly "normal" otherwise (better, in fact) it doesn't bother him (or the audience) for long. However, notwithstanding the show's Generic Cuteness, in-universe she's generally treated as the horrifying Uncanny Valley exemplar that someone with her features would be in Real Life. | |

The main character Leez in Kubera. Although she's normally drawn the same as the other characters, that's just Generic Cuteness turned to her benefit (explicitly) because she's the main character. Everyone in the story treats her as ugly as sin, and every once in a while the author draws her "normally," resulting in her looking like a gonk. | |

You can play as one in basically every game that lets you fully create your characters, such as The Elder Scrolls, Fallout 3 onwards or the Saints Row series; your female character can look drop-dead gorgeous from the neck-down, but play around with the face sliders enough and you can end up with a Butter Face that would make even Mileena look like a fashion model. | |

One Piece: The 140 years young ass-kicking medic Kureha has a lovely, hourglass shaped body, but the face of a hag. Don't let her know — you WILL get your ass handed to you. There's also Kokoro, the drunken railroad inspector of the Puffing Tom in Water 7. While in the present day she's a straight Gonk, the flashback sequence shows she used to be physically attractive from the neck down before Tom's death caused her to really hit the bottle, though another flashback sequence to presumably her 20s shows she was very beautiful before then. Probably has something to do with the species of fish her mermaid traits take after. A male example in Charlotte Katakuri, whose face is mostly alright and who generally looks like a dark, brooding Hunk. His mouth, however, looks like something that belongs on a demonic dog, and he's not proud of it at all, nor happy with others knowing about it. Catarina Devon has a lovely figure, but an incredibly ugly face, with a sloping brow, crooked teeth and lips, and a stereotypical witch's nose. Yeah◊. Boa Sandersonia, from the neck down, has the body of a gorgeous big-breasted woman whose great height in no way impedes on her loveliness. But her head is an enlarged, flattened oval that evokes the face of a snake and looks disproportionate on her otherwise lovely, slender neck. The perpetual forked snake-like tongue may or may not also apply for this, depending on your tastes. |

When the man walks out, it's revealed that despite having a handsome face he has a grotesquely obese body.

The Venture Bros.: Hunter, post sex change operation. Body of a supermodel, same face as when he was a dude. Anna Baldavich is a Take Our Word for It example. Her face is never shown, but when she asks Brock Samson to make love to her (after Bud Manstrong, the only other crew member on Gargantua One for all this time, refused to satisfy her), he agrees, but only if she wears her spacesuit helmet. Myra has a very hot body, especially given her Spy Catsuit, but her face, with sharp cheekbones, wide eyes, and lines, reflects her insane personality. |

The Sirens from the God of War series are depicted as floating, beautiful girls with large breasts, but their heads are mostly hair and a gaping, fanged Lamprey Mouth. This is better seen with the Siren Widows from the second game, who keep their hair in a bun, allowing you to see that their only facial feature are the maws. The ones from Ascension have a more humanoid face, coupled with a hideously large, fanged mouth. | |

The Great Fairies from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask have long legs, large (albeit strangely-shaped, due to the low processing power of the Nintendo 64) breasts, and no clothing but vines. Despite this, their noses are large and misshapen, they each have a single mole on the side of their face, and their mouths are cartoonishly large. All of which is mostly an issue brought about by the N64's graphics limitations; when this Great Fairy design was used in Hyrule Warriors, the Wii U's significantly more advanced hardware allows them to be rendered with greater detail, making them significantly prettier. | |

Being a free folk raider, she has a muscled and shapely body, and she's "fire kissed" (red-haired) but her face is rather lacking, and her teeth are crooked. Sandor Clegane is a male example. His face is a burned mess, but Sansa Stark and some female servants at the Red Keep have noted his strong, well-build body. |

Saturday Night Live: In a "Wayne's World" segment run in the early days of the first Iraq war, Mike Myers referred to the word "Scud" [an Iraqi missile] as sounding like when "you see a girl from a distance and go 'Hello, babe alert!' then when she gets closer you say 'Omigod, she's a scud!'" In the sketch "The Sinatra Group", this is invoked somewhat by Frank Sinatra (played by Phil Hartman) regarding Sinéad O'Connor (Jan Hooks), rather her face isn't ugly, but the fact that her head is completely shaved is distracting to him. When Luther Campbell (Chris Rock) says he doesn't care about her head and prefers the rest of her body, Sinatra agrees and suggests maybe putting a paper bag over her head. |

Scythian Witch-Harpies in Serious Sam 3: BFE look like very hot women with wings for arms and exposed breasts, even up close. That is until they open their mouths◊. Then they show that their heads aren't even human, more like a red-skinned raptor wearing headgear in the visage of a human woman's head. The Witch-Harpy's breasts are detailed by NETRICSA as having no mammary function, so all they are is Schmuck Bait to horny humans. | |

In She-Ra: Princess of Power, Shadow Weaver has a shapely figure, delicate hands (usually), toned, slender arms... and a (concealed) face that revolts Hordak. Apparently it was the price of her power. A flashback to her younger years before she turned to the dark side showed that her face used to be beautiful. | |

In Tiny Toon Adventures: During a sort of Music Video of "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)," Buster falls for a mermaid who hides most of her face in her hair until they're in a Tunnel of Love. Pulled in another episode where Plucky appears in a video for the They Might Be Giants cover of "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)." He plays a private detective hired by an Arabian-style sheik to recover a priceless artifact. Among the many possible rewards are the sheik's daughter's hand in marriage, and she has a bangin' body but her face his hidden behind a veil. Plucky succeeds and returns, only for the beautiful woman to turn out to be...Elmyra! |

Beetle Bailey There's a strip in which Beetle and Killer both whistle at a woman who looks attractive from behind, but when she eagerly turns her buck-toothed face to look at them, both point at each other in an "it was him" kind of way.

Neon Indian's "Fallout" video is about a woman with long, sculpted legs, flowing pink hair, and gigantic breasts which the camera keeps focusing on. The mechanics in the video fall madly in love with her, and give her car a full tuneup. Then, at the very end, she takes off the sunglasses she'd been wearing up to that point, revealing some seriously derpy eyes, and the mechanics gape in shock as she drives off. | |

A severely disfigured teenager is sent as Earth's representative on a cultural exchange with a newly contacted alien planet with the theory that he'll be treated better there because they won't know the difference. During the transfer he meets their representative, a conventionally handsome youth who interacts with the protagonist as thought he were the butterface. The planet's inhabitants are later revealed to look just like him, in fact he's considered "gorgeous" by local standards. | |

Little House on the Prairie. It's Albert and Laura's first day back to school, and they have a new teacher. Albert, convinced she will be young and beautiful, takes special care with his looks because he wants to make a good impression. As they enter, they see Miss Wilder from behind as she is writing on the chalkboard. She does indeed appear to be young and beautiful—until she finishes writing and turns to face the class. The Reveal comes complete with a jarring trombone sound effect. She is a gaunt, middle-aged spinster with a shrill voice. Albert is visibly disappointed, and Laura teases him. | |

Lucifer: The Lilim Mazikeen appears as an incredibly beautiful woman, but half of her is horribly misshapen and skeletal. Ironically, she's very proud of how she looks; when her face is made symmetrically beautiful in one arc, she treats it as a horrible, disfiguring attack on herself. Justified in that her previous hideous appearance was a deliberate shapeshifting choice that she could have changed any time she pleased. "Healing" her actually trapped her in one shape. |

In the Screwy Squirrel short Big Heel-Watha, the chief's daughter is one of these...but turns out to be Red wearing an ugly mask. A similar switch happens in the Woody Woodpecker cartoon, Socko in Morocco. Woody and Buzz Buzzard fight over a harem girl; in the end Buzz lifts the veil to see a horridly ugly face. Woody finds out after Buzz gives up that the face was a mask and she's really beautiful. In another Woody Woodpecker short, Buster's Last Stand, an Indian tries to grab Woody's scalp to get the hand of the Indian Chief's daughter, in the end, after getting it, the father gradually shows his daughter with a curtain at the end, an ugly face appears. Another Avery Droopy cartoon, The Chump Champ, has the Queen of Sports, who looks shapely from the neck down, but is a literal dog from the neck up. Technically, they were all literal dogs...but this one was a dog in more ways than one. She also became an Abhorrent Admirer at the end. |

The woman apologises to Lisa, but when she turns around to face her, she has the face of Marty, Lisa's abusive dad. As Lisa has been encountering nearly nothing but instances of Marty in her dreamscape and the tape is called "Mom's Tape" in the files, this represents Lisa's trauma overwriting even the distant memory of her long-gone mother. | |

The Li'l Abner comic strips has at least one example of this in the form of Lena the Hyena. The "ugliest woman in the world", Lena hailed from Lower Slobbovia, and while from the neck down she was shown as a fairly attractive woman, her face was always censored in the strips themselves in order to "protect the reader from her madness-inducing visage". In fact, the strip creator Al Capp himself never drew Lena's face, but instead held a contest for people to submit what they thought she might look like. After submissions from the likes of Carl Barks and Jack Cole, the winning picture was by Basil Wolverton: a barely describable caricature◊, with a spindly, forward-jutting neck, back-sloping head, thinning hair dangling in greasy curls, large cauliflower ears, bristly eyebrows, an elongated yet flattened almost trunk-like nose, a dangling lower lip perpetually dripping with drool, a dry tongue with a cracked and lumpy texture, and massive, twisted teeth that jut so far out of the jawline past the lips the effect is reminiscent of a skinned horse's snout pushing out through a human skin mask. Historical figure Sadie Hawkins, who inspired the Sadie Hawkings Day, when spinsters and the unmarried were allowed to violently capture men who took their fancy and forcibly wed them, had a nice enough figure, but was widely regarded as the homeliest woman in Dogpatch at the time, due to her abundant freckles, buck teeth, big, crooked nose, thin neck, prominent Adam's Apple and large ears. |

Paperinik New Adventures: Invoked and discussed in one extra. The staff of Channel 00 discuss a famous soap opera actress who always arrives with her head covered by a scarf, large shades and a large brimmed hat, and then spends four hours in the beautician's office. Angus claims she's nicknamed "Iguana" and another one claims she has a nice pair of moustache. Completely subverted when it's revealed that the actress in question has a face as beautiful as her body, she just spends four hours inside because she feel she's expected to do so, while the beautician gets a four-hour long pause, so she doesn't complain. Played seriously in issue 28 by Rhaghor, an Evronian beast-man supersoldier. At first he looks like a bigger, hairier Evronian whose face is covered by a helmet... then he removes the helmet, to show a bare, downright demonic face with yellowish hide and smaller fanged mouths on tendrils, a sight which shocks with horror his superior commander. | |

Happens in Spaceballs when the Captain of the Guard believes they've recaptured Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) and her compatriots. Turns out he's only half right. Makes sense for this trope when you take into account that Princess Vespa's stunt double is a grotesque-looking man with long, straggly hair and a cigar, who just happens to have a fantastic body. Princess Vespa herself was an example before undergoing major rhinoplasty. The Spaceballs blackmail her father the king by threatening to undo it, and he cracks almost instantly. And judging by by her response, she was not any bigger of a fan of going back either! |

Family Guy: In an episode Quagmire approaches a hottie at a bar, she turns around, and we (and he) discover that she's carrying all her fat in the front and has a terrible face. She turns away again and Quagmire is about to hit on her again, but then reminds himself of what he saw the first time. Meg later receives a similar treatment from another guy. In the episode "Boys Do Cry", Peter says: "You can't ask me to make dinner, Lois. That's like asking me to choose between Sarah Jessica Parker and Kirsten Dunst in a hot body/weird face contest. It can't be done." Even more to the point, in reference to late-night Cinemax: "There was one on last night where the girl had a butt face but her breasts was immaculate." Another episode had Meg join the Baton Squad in school, after being rejected as a cheerleader. The squad contains all unattractive girls...and one perfectly acceptable looking one. Meg asks her why she's in the group, and when she opens her mouth a super-long tongue rolls out. In the episode "Scammed Yankees", Brian accidentally sees Patty, one of Meg's lame friends (frizzy red hair, glasses and braces) undress, and finds out that she has a beautiful body. |

In the Strong Bad Email "different town", Strong Bad imagines replacing Homsar with a "modestly hot" female version. Modestly Hot Homsar has a voluptuous body, but still has no arms and a slighty-feminine version of Homsar's cartoony face. | |

Celty from Durarara!! is a variation: Her problem isn't that her face is ugly, but that she doesn't have one. Or rather, she did, but it's never been attached. Her head does, in fact, have a pretty face, but given that it's in a jar instead of on her body... | |

Assassin's Creed III: Based on Kenway's experience, this is Benjamin Franklin's opinion of old women. Luckily, open five-sided pulped wood containers make this a non-problem. This is one of eight of Franklin's horrifying reasons to date them anyway. | |

In a second season episode of Voltron: Legendary Defender, Lance and Hunk are invited by a city of mermaids and mermen to have some dinner and enjoy a show. What looks like a dancing mermaid behind a curtain (which gets Lance grinning) turns out to be an octopus with a smaller octopus on top of its head. Lance's reaction turns from delight to disgust. Inverted at the end of the episode, where one of the rebelling mermaids gives Lance a kiss on the cheek. Since she has a jellyfish covering her head to protect her mind, Lance is at first reluctant, but removing the jellyfish to reveal her beautiful face makes him change his mind immediately. | |

Love Hard: When Natalie does sexy karaoke at the local bar, the men react with interest while her back is to them, but this turns to shock and embarrassment when she turns around to reveal a red, puffy face (the result of being allergic to the kiwi in some shots she took prior). | |

Anyone who wears The Mask tends to get this, as their heads tend to get all cartoony and green-skinned on them: Stanley Ipkiss, the Mask's most prominent wearer, has a very good-looking body along with wearing clothes that do look nice on him, but he is bald, got cartoony eyes, no ears and buck teeth. It is somewhat downplayed as he is very easy looking even with all of that and he is still a Nice Guy as well, so the girls get attracted to him because of it. Masked Eve has a very good-looking body as she's slender, and has huge boobs and slim legs too, but her face has questionable-looking makeup on such as red lips and blue eyelids. She also turns her lips to comedic size which can put people off along with cartoony eyes and buck teeth. Then again, her being a nice girl is enough to make up for it as Stanley does find her very attractive even if he thinks that her face is off-putting (mostly because it's green headed). Masked Dr. Neuman wears nice clothes along with having hair that goes straight up as well which can make him attractive, but like the above examples he also has buck teeth, cartoony eyes and a bald patch. The fact that he's also a psychopath doesn't really help matters. |

In Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation, Barry constantly refers to Jenny (played by a young Renée Zellweger) as "ugly" or "a dog." But his girlfriend has seen her change in the locker room, and insists she "has a body to die for." She merely hides it to deflect the attentions of her stepfather. | |

Kinnikuman is something of a male example, having a truly impressive phsyique and an ugly, ridiculous-looking face. It's played with however, in that the "face" is actually a mask of sorts, though considering that Kinnikuman is almost never seen without it, combined with it being very expressive, it pretty much functions as a second face for him anyway. It's also subverted during the few times we get to see him without his mask, where he's actually shown to be incredibly handsome. | |

Deadpool: Male example. Deadpool, like Spidey and Captain America, has a beefcake bod, but whose face is anything but gorgeous. At least as long as he's wearing his tights and mask, because the rest of his body is just as scarred and hideous as his face. Justified - the tumors are caused by the terminal cancer he's suffering from, which his healing factor makes nonlethal, but doesn't cure. Played straight by his alternate-reality female counterpart, Lady Deadpool. Hot bod, but her face is as ugly as Deadpool's. |

One of the sample characters in the Nosferatu clanbook from Vampire: The Requiem, Mary Contrary. She loves to wear Stripperiffic clothes that complement her hot body, but her face..."looks like it's been hit with a shovel. Over and over again". Being a Nosferatu, Mary exaggerates the trope. It would be bad enough just with this description, but then we actually get to see her. | |

Invoked but subverted in the Italian Dub of Saint Seiya: upon breaking Shaina's mask in the first episode, Pegasus is very surprised to see how cute she is and remarks that he thought her face was "ugly as a devil's", despite the fact that her body clearly shows she's attractive. | |

Captain America: Pictured atop this page is Red Skull's daughter, Sin. Just stick her dad's head on a smokin' female body and you'll get the picture. She got better thanks to Kobik. Funny thing is, she did start off as a conventionally attractive young woman, but then suffered severe burns to her face that caused her to lose her looks during Captain America: Reborn. | |
