Bad image: Grievous Bottley Harm

In this image, a crudely drawn catlike? guy? with an eyepatch? or maybe sunglasses? talks to a blue? anorak-wearing? fishlike? guy with either a big brown eye, or something else that's odd on his face. TBH I have no idea what either of these represents, but according to the caption it's from Team Fortress. Anyway, then there's a poof, and the fish?-guy's head transforms into a cylinder, or something. Or maybe his head pops off, or whatever.

Yeah seriously. It shouldn't be hard to find a better replacement, such as this one◊ or this one◊ (from GIS).

Hm. The context appears to be that the Spy is trying to impersonate the guy in front of him, but ends up with his head crammed into the bottle because the guy (even when drunk) isn't fooled. (In Team Fortress 2 the Spy's camoflauge is a literal Paper-Thin Disguise in the eyes of teammates)

What.

Yeah, the current pic falls flat in the last panel.

I kinda like this goofy one, shows the bottle/weapon in action: [1]◊

Oh, and by the way, Holy Shit: [2]

Which isn't even a very good example of Grievous Bottley Harm.

I like that first pic.

I say go with image 1 from post 4. I tried searching for some other options and won't be doing that again.

Yeah current is just jokey. Post 4 #1 is pretty good.

Always liked this Simpsons scene: Beware the nice ones, indeed◊

Ooh, that's even better!

Still prefer the Post 4 since it's clearly a bottle.

Yeah, the bottle is not very prominent there.

Artemis, I think you've found a winner.

Man, I'm having a lot of problems finding pics of this. Post 4's #1 works well enough for me.

Post 4 #1 looks kind of goofy, though. Perhaps we should keep looking.

Let's do both. Put up #1 from post four now, because it's heaps better than the current image, and then we can feel free to keep looking for something even better.

Here goes.

A. A novelty beanie◊.
B. The same beanie, worn◊.
C. Broken bottle with "blood" all over.
D. This looks good but watermarked: Woman attacks man in a party◊.
E: Juxtaposition with normal bottle◊.

But nothing convincing.

Image 4, picture 1 is good, but his hair is filled with crappy editing, so it doesn't really work.

Or if somebody's got a camera...

Yeah the black is an issue. Here's a wiki-sized de-blacked version:

I don't find the goofiness a problem in that there's a guy getting hit with a bottle so the trope is there.

Good one.

There we go. It works.

And seeing as the trope name itself is a pun, humor isn't an issue.

That works fine.

Clock is set. Any objections to the pic in post #20?
