In the article for Sitcom Arch-Nemesis, you have two guys in large robots yelling at each other. All I can say is: What.

Things of mine keep getting deleted. I curse too much.

[lol] Dinkelberg!

Yeah, no, I'm not really seeing it from a "no context" perspective, though. I don't really know how we'd picture this without a lampshade in text (i.e. from a comic)...

It might help if we got people who at least look like they're from a sitcom. The fact that the guys in the picture are in giant robots kind of implies actual villainy as opposed to the "Antagonistic next door neighbor" that the trope normal includes.

How about Seinfeld and Newman? (Not an upload yet, just a link.)

[up]That was actually the first example I thought of, but I'm not sure how to convey the trope in an image.

Two guys yelling at each other over a fence, anything that really hits home the "small scale" aspect might work.

I'm not familiar with the current page image, but I thought it worked fine. That said, I would like it even better using one of the most classic examples ever as long as it visually demonstrated the antagonism, which that Seinfeld shot does perfectly. So that's my vote.

Hitting the snooze on this one...anyone else prefer the Seinfeld pic to the current? I confess, I haven't looked at it yet.

I prefer the Seinfeld pic. Gives off more a neighbor feeling to it.

Yeah, while the Humongous Mecha are funny, they're just not fitting here.

The pic is up, potholed, and tagged, and two of the quotes are moved to the Quotes page. Locking up.
