Yeah they all have the same facial expression but I don't think that gets the trope across well enough

We don't want to overdo this one, because if they look too similar it could confuse readers into assuming the trope is narrower than it is. I think the current image works fine.

The caption, however, is really bad.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

[up] The caption definitely needs to go...as far as the actual pic, I'm neutral on it.

[up] I was wondering that myself, but there's nothing in the history showing a pic change and there's not an older IP thread.

[up] That's it...I had that pic in my head but the trope name wasn't coming to me.

There's got to be a better picture for this. Right now its just "a bunch of guys with the same expression". This might not even be picturable.

Being in a Japanese-produced work is not enough of a difference to warrant its own trope.

I want to say something from like the Star Trek comics with the Borg but google fails me.

Perhaps this? Or this? They'd need to be cropped, of course, but the Stepford Cuckoos are a really good example.

Ah, here.

[up] That one and the one with Cyclops, cropped about halfway, are good.

Is it possible to make that "boring" line a little more legible? Aside for that, the pic's looking great.

The best way I could see to do that cut out two of the five. I got a few more options, too.

Eh, not looking as good... I made the text a little clearer in the five-headed pic: here.

On a side note, noobish question: how do you post an image in a post, rather than a link?

You need to upload it.

Then just post the link here, no brackets.

Thanks guys, good to know. So, here's a version with a readable line:
