This joke is a fighter jet; it went over my head at breakneck speed.
Is this a pop culture reference?
Is it because they're showing their teeth and that's a threatening gesture among predators? Is it because they are particular characters from some other media? Is it because the camera flash turned their eyes red and that's scary?
The teeth thing makes lots of sense especially if you've read the Cytoverse series. In it, there's an alien race that sees the showing of teeth as a sign of aggression or a sign of fear.
