Does Not Illustrate: Non Interactivity

To be honest that looks like a computer game with actual interactivity.

I still prefer the fake You Tube screen mentioned earlier in the thread. Perhaps we should crowner this?

Isn't that sort of the point, though? Non-interactivity is something that poses as being interactive, but no matter what one does or says, the result is always the same because only one result has been written and there's no actual mechanism to prompt a different response. Or, in other words, even if I tell Dora to jump in the lake, she crosses the bridge instead.

The FauxTube idea is reasonably entertaining and perhaps to some degree gives an idea of the point. But it's not what's described above, it's just a gag. The original image was sent here for the reason that it "Does Not Illustrate" the trope in question. If we put up the FauxTube image, then it seems that after a while we end up back in the same situation - it gets sent back here for the same reason - it does not actually illustrate the trope.

Well, there seem to be two choices, either the FauxTube thing or the Dora image with the three boxes. Would I be right in thinking that only mods can add a crowner?

We could add another Dora image on top of the three boxes one, and add a speech bubble saying "Click on where you'd like to go" (or whatever that image is referring too).

But the Faux Tube does illustrate the trope. It pretends to be interactive, but it's not.

Dora The Explorer is indeed an example of the trope, but that will not be noticeable from a screenshot unless you're already familiar with the show.

I really like the "Youtube" one, partially because I didn't realise at first that it couldn't be clicked on. The Dora one seems more interactive — if it was on any other page, it would be assumed that it was interactive (not the image itself, the place it's from, I mean. Does that, kinda, make sense?).

The Dora one could easily work, but the fake YouTube video is just too funny not to use.

Keep the Youtube one. I don't see how it doesn't illustrate the trope.

Liking Youtube.

We've got enough of a consensus to run with the You Tube parody, so it's up and tagged; I specifically said in the tag to not pothole it to You Tube or it'll ruin the joke. Locking up.
