Good folks exist that have a variety of appearances, I don't think this level of humour suits the site too well.
The pug and baby pics were ok, otherwise it is too close to mocking a physical deformity to , eh, ... I just don't like it. It creates a bad echo in the mind next time you meet somebody or somebodies parents that happened to be born that way.

I got the same vibe as buzzman. Before the page was half-loaded, I started really hoping it was going to turn out to be some sort of Photoshop exercise. It is some sort of a Photoshop thing isn't it?

Nah - they're just those false goofy hillbilly teeth that they sell at the mall and at baseball games.
Quite funny to see so many of them lined up like that. Good post - insofar as it's definitely something I wouldn't have dreamed would be on the net.
Americana? Eh... I was hoping there'd be a few more Brit jokes in there.
I heard the British all have bad teeth because they live on an island and their gene pool is ...narrower... than elsewhere - and this causes bad teeth genes to flourish, so they all have lousy chompers. Anybody know if there's any truth to this?

Baby_Balrog: Combination of things, and I doubt genetics is one of them (mongrel race, and all that).
There may still be some truth on the purely cosmetic front - silver fillings are free on the NHS while white cost money, and tooth-whitening isn't an everyday thing (yet), but as far as functional soundness goes, I really think it's a meme that's hanging on beyond its time (if you could find data for UK/US floss or toothbrush sales, that might prove me wrong).

I've seen comedy here in the states about British toothpaste having sugar in it... uhhh... geographical idiocy; or?
I've also met good people with teeth like these. I know it is a joke here, but I mean; it would be like saying to somebody 'Hey, how come your mom is so wrinkly?" or "gosh, your dad looks like he worked too hard and too long in the sun"
Eh, just a bunch of pictures; and I won't be trying on a pair anytime soon. I have a singular tooth out of alignment; every halloween I toy with the idea of painting it black... I just don't want to offend the tooth Gods and then chip a tooth accidently on a beer bottle the next day. Kinda like industrial/mechanical accident jokes (toes, fingers, hands, etc.) ... they are only funny until it happens to you or somebody you know.

British teeth? All the gut-rot tea with lashings of sugar and condensed milk.
