Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })You see it all the time in manga or anime: During a comical scene, a character may express anger in a way that's meant to incite laughter from the audience.
In such cases, you can expect the character to have enlarged, distorted and oftentimes pupil-less eyes; fangs or otherwise distorted teeth in their mouth; and No Indoor Voice — angry waving of hands or over-the-top violence are optional descriptors. Usually invoked when another character says or does something extremely stupid.
Of course, when anger is displayed in more dramatic scenes, a person's anger will be portrayed (and drawn by the artist) in a much more realistic manner.
Also possible to pull off in live-action works, but also more difficult since the physical distortions aren't as readily evident as in works of animation.
May overlap with Demon Head, where the angry character's entire head expands to large size. Often accompanied by Cross-Popping Veins, and sometimes completed with a Facepalm. Compare Goblin Face.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })When listing examples, state which characters are most prone to this convention; if it's plot-relevant, note it as such. Western animated works which are inspired by Japanese animation conventions may also be included.

In Bleach, the most frequent users of this trope are Kon, whenever he's inside his lion plushie form and is upset at some circumstance that makes him into a Butt-Monkey, or Ichigo and Rukia when they're annoying each other.

Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist whenever his more comedic Berserk Buttons are hit (His height and his relationship with Winry being prime examples). In fact, the current trope image for the Berserk Button page shows Ed displaying this kind of face.

Assassination Classroom: Nearly all of the students in Class 3-E get afflicted with this from time to time, often over each other's weirder quirks or the just plain crazy stuff Koro-sensei pulls. The teachers of 3-E get this way, too; even the usually even-tempered Karasuma◊.

In the Full Metal Jacket scene in which the Drill Sergeant Nasty famously berates the main characters, Private Joker is asked to show his "war face". Said war face consists of the character comically screaming, looking more scared than angry.

Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple: Frequently happens among Kenichi's friends, most usually directed toward Nijima. Even Tanimoto isn't immune to expressions like this.
Miu oftentimes has this expression toward the Ryozanpaku masters when they do something idiotic. An example is shown in Chapter 77 of the manga, where Miu ropes Sakaki and Shigure into pretending to be her parents, along with cover occupations of jet pilot and fashion designer, respectively.

Happens frequently in One Piece, with even usually-serious characters like Roronoa Zoro not being immune. Among the Straw Hat crew, Nami, Sanji and Usopp are the three who most usually get this treatment in response to some outrageous or idiotic act committed by the others (though they themselves are often not much better). In fact, Nico Robin is the only crew member who doesn't show a Comical Angry Face at any time (she makes up for it by being a Comically Serious Deadpan Snarker, however).
Brook, the newest Straw Hat member, never pulls the Comical Angry Face off either. On the other hand, he's a skeleton.

In The Legend of Korra, we have Tenzin do this in response to Korra mentioning his mother. This has only happened once so far, however.
Actually, it was also used in a Book 1 scene (complete with fire and lightning strikes in the background) when Ikki tells Asami that Korra likes Mako. Later on in the same scene after Korra tells her to run along, Ikki makes this face as well along with growling and cat scratching.

Kaoru Kamiya, Yahiko Myoujin, Sanosuke Sagara, and Misao Makimachi in Rurouni Kenshin frequently have moments of this among the main characters. This usually accompanies physical violence against the titular character, which is always played for laughs.
Interestingly, a flashback during the Kyoto arc shows that when he was still training under Seijuro Hiko, Kenshin himself had bouts of this during the argument that led to him leaving Hiko's tutelage.
