It's a meme: Zonk

Yep, it's one of those meme animal-and-a-caption pics.

Also, the trope is "gag prize", and I don't think that half a car with a rather expensive attached counts as a gag prize anyway.

Support pull. No indication that it's a game show prize.

Yeah, this one definitely needs to go; +1 to pull.

Supporting pull.

Pull it.

Yank the Image Macro, yank it!

That's enough. It's pulled.

I want to see a better image before this is pulled.

I trimmed it.

The only thing wrong with this picture was that it was in meme format.

Seeing how the first line is "Some Game Shows have gag prizes of negligible value" then shouldn't the picture be that of one being on a game show?

This is the only one that I could find that gave off a game show vibe. [1]◊

That's much better!

I support pulling the original image mainly because the whole "worthless prize on a game show" part is missing. It doesn't even come close to explaining what a zonk is.

Exactly. Post #11 is much better.

Improvement on original, but agree with , it is missing "prize" completely.

Like 11 a lot more than what's up there currently.

Yep, #11 is much better. For starters, It's actually an example.

I like post 11. This is about bad game-show rewards, after all.

Vote for 11

One or two more votes for #11 and we can run with it.

Yeah, 11 looks a lot more game show-ish.

Good enough. The goat pic is up, potholed, and tagged. How's the caption?

I like it.

While we're on the subject of this trope, I don't think that the trivia that "the producers made a mistake on this once" belongs in the header, and certainly not in the second sentence. Any objections to moving this down to the examples section?

Fine by me.
