Just A... Building And A Caption?: Evil Inc

You can't tell, apart from the obvious lawyer joke, what this picture means. I finally understood the joke, but that was on a completely different page, in a tab I'd had open for an hour or so. I found this◊, but...

What

So sorry, did I screw something up? I've been a lurker for a while, but I'm relatively new to, y'know, doing things. Where did I make a mistake?

Ahh ok now I know what trope your talking about.... yeah...

Motion To Pull

We need a lampshade like a literal "Evil inc" on a on the side of building or boxes.

You didn't make a mistake. I'm not sure what inspired that "what."

While you're correct that the wolfram and Hart building needs familiarity with Angel to work, unfortunately, the Soylent Corp logo requires familiarity with Soylent Green to work.

I don't think that there's any need to pull the existing image, but the page could use a better picture, if we can find one.

There was no trope in the title. I couldnt figure out which trope he was talking about. Now there is so nvm.

[1]◊?

Ah, Google. You lovely thing, you. Can we crop [1]◊ this to size?

I think it needs a pull. Without knowing the Angel reference, it looks like it's saying: "Lawyers are evil; therefore this law firm is Evil, Inc.."

But that suggests the trope is "A company whose methods are evil" rather than "A company whose purpose is to support evil."

Edit to add: I'd go with that; it doesn't particularly communicate any information about the trope, but I think it's better than no picture at all.

There is a Webcomic Evil, Inc.. There surely must be a shot of a titular corporation building with a big Evil, Inc. sign on it.

^^^Or just the logo, yeah

Given that there is an actual webcomic called Evil Inc which follows that trope to a T, I'm surprised there isn't a decent picture there of the outside of that building.

It might be more appropriate if anyone can find one of those since it wouldnt have the "Doofenshmirtz" part of the sign to confuse people. Anyone read that comic who can think of a good picture? Otherwise i'll trawl the thing sometime when I'm free.

^I'm sure there were some shots. I just can't Archive Trawl it at the moment.

I'd prefer a zoom of the title. Purple on green doesn't seem as legible to me.

@ kroozer 101: You can add the article name when creating a new thread and there will be a link in the title and a link on the article page When you do this please use CamelCase, otherwise it won't work, if you messed up the link you can edit it afterward by pressing the button with a small green + on top of the first post.

I fixed the link for you , but I was interrupted before I could inform you.

I like that, and I can read it fine.

Dammit! That's the second time someone's had to do that for me.

And I feel much shame.

The Phineas And Ferb one is awesome. (And it's legible enough to me.)

Bump this fucker.

Bump, with a MOTION TO PULL on the side.

I second the motion to pull.

The alternative picture would work fine if we zoomed in on it a little to make it more legible.

Thurded. (am aware of spelling).

Pulled.

Here's a close-up of the Doofenshmirtz building. Alternatively, there's this◊ and this◊.

I like the blimp for some reason.

Me too, though I'm not sure why, exactly.
