A chinface, sometimes referred to as a chinikin, chinhead, chinman, or chinmonster is a performance, usually of a comical nature, involving someone's chin. By drawing or attaching eyes, it gives the impression of a distorted face when viewed upside down. ==Origins== In the early 1950s ventriloquist Paul Winchell created a chin face character named Oswald () In 1964, Bob Denver performed a chin face in the beach party film, "(For Those Who Think Young )". n 1988, McEwans Lager launched a new TV ad campaign featuring 'The Chinheads', a fictional and quirky 'upside-down' rock/soul band. The award-winning TV advert was directed by Steve Barron (director of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean", A-Ha's "Take on Me", and ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'') and featured the track "Something So Real" by Scottish band, The Love Decree. In 1989, a single was subsequently released and charted nationally, peaking at No.61 (No.1, Outselling Black Box's "Ride On Time" in Scotland). The Love Decree were: Robin Gow (Keyboards/Song-writer), Grant Macintosh (Vocals/Song-writer) and Gordon Gow (Percussion). The track 'Something So Real" was produced by Robin Gow.

In 1993, an episode of ''Red Dwarf'', "Gunmen of the Apocalypse", Lister used a chinface when the crew had to convince a ship of simulants (artificially created, cyborg humanoids) that there were no humans aboard, insisting instead that the ship was crewed by curry-based lifeforms known as "Vindaloovians". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「chinface」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
