Big Ol' Eyebrows

"A hundred and ten percent lady-proof."

"Your eyebrows are bigger than your head!"

—Chris Zito on Kumiko of Corona Blossom, Yes Yes Love Adventure GO!

An extremely old Japanese artistic convention is giving men bushy eyebrows. The manly oyaji usually has them, and it makes his expressions more imposing and tougher. A lot of older Shōnen manga use this style to great effect. Unless it's specifically part of the art style, Big Ol' Eyebrows are a common Art Shift gag when a character is being overdramatic.

Women tend to get very thin eyebrows. Thicker eyebrows are usually just a convention to make their faces more noticeable or make their facial expressions funnier. But in a few anime, women have thicker eyebrows which resemble long commas. It's the case of Momoko from Ojamajo Doremi and Saki, Haruka, and Elena from the Pretty Cure franchise.

A Sub-Trope of Unusual Eyebrows. Usually related to Evil Eyebrows. Hot-Blooded Sideburns is a Sister Trope, and often shows up alongside this one. See also Big Ol' Unibrow. Contrast with No Brows. Heaven help you if this is crossed with Angry Eyebrows.

Other examples:

Art

• In the artistic traditions of the Northwest Coast Native American tribes (Haida, Tlingit, Nuu-chah-nulth, etc.), human figures—or supernatural beings with a roughly human appearance—are often represented◊ with prominent eyebrows. Other mammals^note for example, this bear carving◊ by Haida artist Bill Reid and birds sometimes have them too, but not always.
  • In some cases, like the work of Mungo Martin, it's hard not to wonder if the artist's own features influenced how they portrayed their subjects...

Asian Animation

• In Happy Heroes, Headmaster Tele has somewhat thick eyebrows that are forked on the outer ends.

Comic Books

• The Adventures of Peter Wheat: The Grand Wizard and Dragonel of the Hornet Kingdom have eyebrows that extend out quite a ways past the sides of their heads. It's likely they invoke the image of hornet antennae.

• Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: It's Rung's defining feature, despite no one remembering his name. They just call him "Eyebrows" instead◊.

• The Duchess: Keira Knightley as Georgiana Cavendish is a Rare Female Example. They're daunting, not to mention the cloudy 'fro that comes along.
• Dune (1984): Thufir Hawat. They're pretty big.◊ It's possible this was supposed to be shared among mentats, at the other one, Piter DeVries, has some big ones too◊, but they're still not quite as big.
• Godmothered: Mackenzie grows big eyebrows overnight. She suspects that Eleanor used magic to make them bigger.

  "The eyebrows. Thin and separate, there should be two."

• The Hobbit: Gandalf is described as having gigantic eyebrows.
  'Good morning' said Bilbo, and he meant it. [...] But Gandalf looked at him from under long bushy eyebrows that stuck out further than the brim of his shady hat.
  • The Rankin/Bass animated versions of The Hobbit and The Return of the King took this maybe too literally, and gave Gandalf a titanic, impossibly bushy unibrow that, along with his similarly oversized beard, completely frames his (also huge) nose and eyes. His freaky appearance is used to great effect when he introduces himself with an extreme closeup shot.
• Jeeves and Wooster: Nerve specialist Rodrick Glossop is described as being bald with enormous eyebrows.
• The Lost Diary of Don Juan: A defining feature of Colette, the love interest - and later wife - of Cristobal, Don Juan’s manservant:

• Village Tales: The Duke of Taunton has the bushy, Gandalfian version: his oldest and dearest enemy the Archdeacon maintains that the Duke's voice barges into a room first, followed by his eyebrows, and then by the Duke himself, although that's mere snarky exaggeration. The Rector's Very Manly Eyebrows are trim and neat, but described as thick and "impasto" all the same.
• The Wheel of Time: Ogier are described to all have very large eyebrows that are not only very thick, but also hang down like an extra set of moustaches. They're an important part of Ogier expressions, and apparently regarded as erogenous zones.

Unfortunately, after he retuned to being a drawing for the second time, his creator drew big heavy eyebrows on him in a fit of anger. Then Nicechap came back to life for a third time, and this time he was evil.
• Breaking Bad: Though he's an extremely minor character, just about every scene involving Walt's former boss Bogdan includes someone calling attention to his absolutely massive eyebrows◊.
  • Which led to one of the funniest quotes in the whole series:
  Walt: I said, 'fuck you!' And your eyebrows!
• Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Spike. Made worse by the fact that they're a wildly different color than his platinum-blonde hair.
• Degrassi: The Next Generation: Manny Santos saw Jane Vaughn swoon over Declan Coyne and asked her, "Who's Johnny Eyebrows?" His actor said he stopped reading YouTube comments of the show promos when the first one was "Eyebrow tweezers. Heard of them?" There's also Sean Cameron. Though his eyebrows are not as big as some of the other examples here, it's lampshaded nonetheless.
• Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor was literally introduced eyebrows first. Having become his defining physical characteristic, comments about the brows come up often in both the show and the Expanded Universe. When asked why he's the one in charge of the "Time Heist", he says "Basically, it's the eyebrows." In "Face the Raven", Clara cites them as a reason he can never be the good cop in a Good Cop/Bad Cop situation. In Doctor Who Legacy his most powerful skill — it unleashes tons of damage on enemies — is dubbed "Attack Eyebrows".
• Game of Thrones:
  • Little Arya Stark's noticeable eyebrows which are growing as she ages have not gone unnoticed by the viewers.
  • Daenerys Targaryen's no slouch on the eyebrow department either, mostly because of their expressiveness and prominence and how, like Spike's, they are a good shade darker than her blonde-silver-white hair, standing out strongly, although from Season 1 to 3 her eyebrows are a fair grey like her brother. The make-up artists decided to forego this whitening of Emilia's naturally dark boarders halfway through Season 4 with the justification that Dany asked her handmaids to apply Dothraki khol in remembrance of her husband once she started to rule Meereen. By the time she returns to Westeros, the natural light colour is beginning to show thorough again.

• Revolution: Miles Matheson sports a pair of big eyebrows. Well, bigger than a lot of the other characters' eyebrows anyway.

• Star Trek: The Original Series: The Vulcans and especially the Romulans had some serious eyebrow action going on.

• Quark. The Head has huge eyebrows to go with his huge head.
• Warehouse 13: References to Artie's bushy eyebrows are a Running Gag.
• Whose Line Is It Anyway?: A little revenge by Colin during Props after Steve Frost makes fun of Mochrie's baldness.
  Colin: *while holding up a large furry bag* "Oh geeze, one of your eyebrows fell off!"

  • Sam the American Eagle has an impressive unibrow, giving the impression of a perpetually frowning face.
  • The Swedish Chef appears to have nothing but big ol' eyebrows that can challenge his mustache for facial hair supremacy.

• The Japanese releases of Ratchet & Clank games gives Ratchet very thick, bushy eyebrows that many American fans refer to as "woolly bear caterpillars" - his eyebrows are fairly thick in the American version as well, but the Japanese release specifically stated he was given thicker eyebrows "so fan artists would have a place to start drawing from."
• Tekken: This seems to run in the Mishima Family. Jin's and Kazuya's are impressive, but somewhat less than grandpa Heihachi's. The Spoony One spoofed this in his review of the anime and live-action Tekken movies by wearing progressively larger construction paper eyebrows.
  • Ganryu, another Japanese character, sports these. It's actually this trait that gets him the attention of Lili, since they remind her of her father.
• Professor Pickle in Sonic Unleashed.

  • The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass: Oshus has one. They're even kept in his Ocean King form.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild:
    • Kaneli the Rito elder has eyebrows that extend way out from his face; of course, since he is an owl, these come natural to him.
    • This game's rendition of Princess Zelda also has noticeably more prominent eyebrows than previous Zeldas, a feature she seems to share with her father King Rhoam.
    • Paya also has quite the thick eyebrows. Her eyebrows is one of the most prominent features that sets her apart from her grandmother Impa during the latter's younger days, who otherwise looks very similar to her granddaughter (as revealed in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity).
• Soulcalibur: Maxi. So extraordinary are his eyebrows they have their very own jiggle physics.
• Worms: The Worms have rather prominent eyebrows. So much that a cross-promotion item of one of their helmets has a sculpted in a pair of them.

• Futoshi Shimano of the Like a Dragon series has a big pair of Evil Eyebrows as a part of his grotesquely exaggerated features.
• Deep Rock Galactic: Dwarven eyebrows are pretty damned thick. Even the "Refined" option, the thinnest of the lot, would put most human brows to shame. And of course there's a "Monstrous Thick" option, which the game refers as "secondary beards for your eyes". The "Voluminous Philosopher" option still wins out, being so thick they cover the eyes almost completely. "Perfect for naps in the shade" indeed.
• Kosuke Anayama from Ninja Battle Heroes has some big eyebrows.
• Epic Battle Fantasy 5 has giant fake eyebrows made out of seaweed as a Flair equip. As they resist several status ailments, they're pretty useful, so it is likely to gear up one party member with giant eyebrows for a good portion of the game. Equipping any player character with them will also make them show up on their respective Evil Player counterpart, but this is purely aesthetic.
• Kuukiyomi 3: Consider It More and More! -Father to Son-: Downplayed. The only male deuteragonist, who is also the player character's boyfriend, has visible and slightly thick eyebrows. The player protagonist and other extras and bystanders don't have visible eyebrows unless they react to something.

• Clicker: Trevor got them to compliment his big ol' Sphere Eyes.
• Paul from Eddsworld has these to the point where they're essentially the focus of a short that he stars in.

  Strong Bad: "There we go. One hundred and ten percent lady-proof."

Webcomics

• In El Goonish Shive, Dex has ones almost as tall as his eyes.
• Many characters from Every Button Hurts the Other Guy have large eyebrows, but Shota and Russel go as far as having the classic, thick, black rectangles, and Russel doesn't even have black hair. In Russel's case this is likely a parody of Ken Masters from Street Fighter, whose eyebrows are conspicuously a different colour than his hair.

• Guz in Fite!, though it depends somewhat on the current state of the art.
• The wizard at the Temple of Terror in The Fourth has eyebrows that nearly double his height.
• Agatha's eyebrows in Girl Genius seem to wax and wane with her moods ... even within the same page.

• In The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob!, Rocko Sasquatch's eyebrows are so bushy that they completely obscure his eyes.

• Nothing Nice to Say has a minor running gag involving Fletcher's Big Ol' Eyebrows.

• Unni from Vápnthjófr saga has thick eyebrows larger than her eyes, standing out against her white fur.

Web Original

• Epic Fail Guy of 4chan fame, when not depicted wearing a Guy Fawkes Mask, is a standard stick figure with outrageously long eyebrows.

• In Metal Gear Awesome, Solid Snake's eyebrows bulge out at the slightest provocation. At one point they branch out and sprout oranges.

• Transformers: Prime: Demonstrates that this can even happen to robots. Check out Megatron and Starscream's eyebrows if you think otherwise.
• The Venture Brothers: The Monarch has eyebrows that are each at least a gravity-defying foot long.
  • And prehensile. They curl into spirals, arch and curve to go with his expression.
• We Bare Bears:
  • In "Kyle", the titular character claims to be Nom Nom's long-lost brother because he has a pair of thick, black eyebrows that one of the koalas in a picture from Nom Nom's childhood has. They're fake.
  • In "Bunnies", the Elder Bunny has a pair of big bushy eyebrows. Grizzly even pegs him as the leader because of them.
  Baby Grizzly: He's the elder! You can tell by his eyebrows.
• Xiaolin Showdown: Raimundo, Jack Spicer and Chase Young all have these (Raimundo gets even bigger eyebrows in the reboot).
