Whenever fire or explosions are involved, the first thing to go is inevitably the eyebrows. This is nearly always Played for Laughs. This is usually a good way to have people hit by fire come away without true injuries in comedic works. In Real Life, eyebrows do get singed off fairly readily in the case of flame, due to being fairly prominent on the face and thinner than normal hair. However, singed eyebrows may accompany more serious burns as well, so Don't Try This at Home. See also Playing with Fire, Kill It with Fire, or Ash Face. Compare Close-Call Haircut. |

The Simpsons: Bart and Milhouse decide to do their own version of MythBusters. The first myth is that cell phones make gas pumps explode. (The same myth that resulted in Adam's eyebrow singe.) After the explosion, Milhouse is sans eyebrows. In "She of Little Faith", Milhouse's eyebrows get blown off and fly onto Bart's head, which he wears like sideburns. |

In an early episode of MythBusters, host Adam Savage stood too close to a box full of gas fumes he was trying to light when it exploded, leading to the page quote above. Adam later claimed that he had said the line as a joke, only to find that his eyebrow (and a good chunk of his hair) had indeed been singed off. To make it worse, that night he had a date and was planning to propose! (She said yes.) The line would later be repeated several years later by Build Team member Tory Belleci during an experiment involving copious amounts of popcorn, particularly when he makes forehead contact with the popcorn machine's hopper. |

Jane the Virgin: In an attempt to curry favor with River, Rogelio orders her favorite, bananas foster. The flambe burns her eyebrows off, which makes her slightly less amenable the next time they meet. She does assure him they are insured, however. | |

In The Moodys Dan gets too close to one of his brother's rocket launchers and has his eyebrows wiped clean off his face. His brother takes advantage of this by drawing angry eyebrows on his face in permanent ink while Dan sleeps, forcing Dan to wear a tennis headband for the entire day. | |

The titular antagonist in The Terminator tries rushing after Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese even when Reese puts up a wall of fire between them. The terminator immediately has his hair burned down to a crew cut and his eyebrows disappear completely. This turns out to be the least unsettling disfigurement he sustains throughout the movie. | |

Foxtrot: Roger, in true Bumbling Dad style, decides he can fix the furnace without needing to call the repairman, turning the valve so it keeps emitting gas and applying a lit match. Once the repairman shows up to fix it, he wonders if Roger managed to singe off both his eyebrows and hair, though Andy quickly corrects him on that last point. | |
