Fixed.
Er, why not a picture of him being violent?
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am...Yeah I think we could do better. Maybe someone could get a screenshot of Willie beating someone up or something like that.
Yeah, I have no clue who he is beyond obviously being a Simpsons character. A picture of him being violent would help tremendously.
Infinite Tree: an experimental storyThe students one is awesome.
I prefer the one with the rake.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.It should be pointed out that the picture of Willy with the rake is from a Treehouse of Horrors episode where he's playing a Freddy Krueger parody. Just showing him being himself might be better.
The one with the students could work.
Reaction Image RepositoryLike the one with the students; like the one with the rake almost as much.
Infinite Tree: an experimental storyI like the one with the rake.
Just because it's from a "special" episode doesn't mean it's not an example of this trope.
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!Had a go at cleaning up the images. I prefer the first one: I find the over-the-top I'll-take-you-all-on combativeness funnier, whereas bringing Freddy Krueger muddies the waters a bit for me. (What search found the first one?)

I like the "threatening the students" one.
The students one is better, in my opinion. Part of the trope is that he's not only violent, he's absurdly and almost comically violent, as seen with him being angry at a group of kids.
The Rake one shows him being sorta angry and menacing, but it lacks the Hair-Trigger Temper attitude about the Trope which the students one shows.
What about the glaswegian accent? I'm not seeing that in any of those pics.
Fifth panel here◊ isn't a lot better, but it's got a speech bubble with a little dialect in it.
EDIT: Third or sixth here could work.◊

This implies, quite correctly, that my mind is dark and damp and full of tiny translucent fish.^ I like the third panel in the second suggestion.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am...Scrooge Mc Duck looks much less Scottish than Willie does, though. Note that in several continuities, he's not even Scottish. (basically, every country has its own spin on the Duck family, and many of those don't resemble the Carl Barks originals).
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!Can anyone do a Phonetic Accent for "I'll take on the lot of you!" for a caption?
Fight smart, not fair."Ai'll take on tha lot a'ye!" or something to that effect. I like the third panel of the second Scrooge suggestion.
Third panel at 350px.
The trope seems to be about having a Glasgow accent, not being Scottish.
This implies, quite correctly, that my mind is dark and damp and full of tiny translucent fish.Should we have a crowner?
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am...I'm actually fine with the current image. He's clearly making a threat. *shrug*
Rhymes with "Protracted."
Crown Description:
Violent Glaswegian
Part of me doesn't want to even bring this topic into light, but part of me can't let it slide either.
To put is simply, Groundskeeper Willy is without a doubt the most famous and recognizable example of Violent Glaswegian trope, and I think this image SHOULD NOT be changed.
But on the other hand... it's still JAFAAC...
EDIT: can someone fix the title please?
