Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': A police sketch or wanted poster of someone ends up looking inaccurate.
* '''Straight''': Bob is a police sketch artist who is asked to draw a picture of Alice, the person who robbed and then beat up Charlie. The sketch is very inaccurate.
* '''Exaggerated''': The sketch of Alice [[EpicFail somehow ends up looking like a bunch of]] [[WeasternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb dancing weasels]].
* '''Downplayed''': The sketch of Alice is mostly accurate, but some details are wrong.
* '''Justified''':
** Charlie didn't give a very precise description of Alice.
** Bob is a TerribleArtist. [[FridgeLogic Don't even ask how he got his job]].
* '''Inverted''': The sketch is very accurate, but Alice sees it on the news and for whatever reason says it doesn't look anything like her.
* '''Subverted''': Charlie sees the sketch and says it doesn't look like Alice, but later finds out he was remembering incorrectly.
* '''Double Subverted''': Alice actually looks much less accurate than she does there.
* '''Parodied''':
** Alice turns on the news and sees a police sketch of herself. She starts freaking out, not because she realizes she's being tracked by the police... [[SkewedPriorities but because the sketch looks nothing like her]].
** Charlie starts describing Alice. [[WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball Bob reveals he was just drawing a picture of a sailboat the whole time]].
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Some of Bob's police sketches are accurate, and some aren't.
* '''Averted''':
** There is no police sketch/wanted poster.
** Any police sketches/wanted posters are accurate.
* '''Enforced''': To add some humor (or even conflict) to the scene where they attempt to catch a criminal.
* '''Lampshaded''': [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} "They just can't get my nose right!"]]
* '''Invoked''': For some reason, Charlie intentionally gives false information to Bob as to what Alice actually looks like.
* '''Exploited''': Because the police sketch is inaccurate, nobody can identify Alice, making her harder to catch.
* '''Defied''': Bob asks for as many details of Alice as possible to avoid making mistakes.
* '''Discussed''': "That's not what she looks like at all!"
* '''Conversed''': "Why do police sketch artists always suck at their job in fiction?"
