Our characters are socializing happily. They're eating, drinking, gossiping and so on. If the scene goes on for too long, you might wonder what the point is. Until the camera pulls back, and we see a single character who's somehow alienated from the others, watching them with some combination of sadness and resentment. This should be distinguished from situations where the character has to do some chore and is prevented from joining in the fun. Someone doing a Wall Glower could easily walk right in, but for one reason or another they don't want to. Presumably, they're hanging around only out of masochism. They usually storm off after a while anyway. It's "glower" as in "angry stare", pronounced to rhyme with "flower", by the way. |

Lemongrab of Adventure Time does this the second he is introduced in the episode "Too Young." He comes into the castle and sees everyone having fun and being playful, and he glares nervously at the scene. Until Cinnamon Bun falls and makes a mess, and Lemongrab screams in OUTRAGE. | |

Subversion in the film Back to the Future, during the big prom scene. The camera pans past several dancing teenage couples and eventually settles on George McFly off to the side, very much alone — except that he's dancing and having a good old time all by himself. (not to mention he's thinking about Marty's scheme) | |

At Wrestlemania X, after Bret Hart had won the WWF World Title, all the faces came to the ring, lifted him on their shoulders and celebrated. In the entrance aisle was his brother, who'd beaten him in the first match of the night, doing this and saying 'what about me?' | |

Animorphs: While celebrating their cousin's miraculous recovery, Rachel sees Jake standing against the wall with an expression of pure hatred. The cousin was stated to be an asshole, but she doesn't think he merits such a reaction. Then he says one word and she understands everything: "David". David, the Sixth Ranger Traitor, heard about the cousin during a conversation and acquired him, now masquerading as him and remorphing every two hours. They happen to catch his eye and he smirks triumphantly at them. | |

Naruto: Definitely Naruto and Gaara used to do this quite frequently, but it is likely that this applies to most of the Jinchuriki. This even applies to the filler-character Sora, who's a pseudo-jinchuriki. |

Child of the Storm has Ron in the sequel during the Yule Ball. Not only that, but it's worse than canon on the grounds that he doesn't have a date since Harry asked Carol, rather than Parvati, and therefore didn't ask Padma for Ron, and as canon, Ron didn't ask Hermione in time. He didn't even notice that Ron didn't have a date at all, since he was head over heels in love and consequently oblivious (which he later apologises for). The fact that he didn't tell Ron that he arranged for Diana to come to the Ball, nominally as Draco's partner, practically as Ginny's, being a Shipper on Deck does not help. Cue a very bad-tempered Ron sulking in the corner, though he's about to get up and pick a fight with someone - probably Hermione - when Sean Cassidy notices and cheerfully-yet-forcibly sits him back down again and has a sympathetic and pointed chat with him that a) cheers him up a bit, b) gets him to go and socialise a bit. | |

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: Stevie enthusiastically tells the rest of the band how awesome he thinks they will be. He walks away from the window the exact moment he says "We need stalkers", revealing the face of Knives Chau (Scott's ex girlfriend) tearfully looking at Scott (who is sitting next to Ramona, his current girlfriend), complete with scary music and snap zooms on her face that will fit snugly in a Japanese horror movie. | |

This is lampshaded in Captain Britain and MI13 when someone calls out Blade for standing against a wall with his arms crossed and sunglasses on not speaking to anyone, during a party. Since this is an SAS party, no one's overly impressed. After a tense moment he takes off the glasses and apologizes, saying that he'd been hanging out with superheroes too much, and starts socializing. | |

In the early part of Full Metal Panic!, No Social Skills Sousuke tended to end up as the glowerer in these situations when they involved Kaname... Mostly because it was his job to stalk her and the others are blissfully unaware that he is nearby. Or sometimes everyone else is aware other than the target he's supposed to be protecting (normally Kaname or Tessa)... thereby discouraging any potential assassins from getting close to them. Of course, this tends to just have the effect of isolating them. He means well, anyways. |
