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?

All of it. I'm guessing the joke is that this alien is sheep based and all the signs you described would put us humans in the "scary predator aliens" category.

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.

I think the very obvious murder in their eyes probably suggest a few dangers as well.
