Is there any reason for this trope to have two images? I think the bottom image is better and would like to remove the top one.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Well it symbolizes immaturity (like they dont know better) and/or being a Large Ham... showing both aspects is good but maybe merge the two images together and one caption stating that.

At the very least, merging the two pics and captions with the show potholes in the characters' names and their personalities in the reasons would work. I think we could probably find something that would do just as well with one pic, though.

I'm also kinda at a loss as to why this needs two pictures. It's not like its a difficult concept to grasp: somebody's pointing at somebody rudely.

Yeah, we only need one. I think the bottom one captures the spirit of the trope better than the top one, although her weird anatomy makes me hope that someone has a replacement suggestion.

What is this "sleep" you speak of?

I'm not sure it's quite so obvious that it's rude, but this pic sprang to mind instantly.

Aww but it would have been perfect with the caption "Try overruling THIS objection".

That one doesn't seem to show the rudeness that is a part of this trope.

I definitely don't think this needs two images. Bottom image of the current two is sufficient. Ace Attorney is arguably better, but I'm not especially beholden to switching.

What about a big fat closeup of one? (I can get it without subs)

Based on this thread I've removed the top image of the two. I'm neutral with respect to replacing the other image by one of those mentioned here.

Either of the Precure pics work for me, but I'd kinda like to see something where someone's getting in another's face and giving them the finger.

The current image is good, but I wouldn't mind the Precure pictures either.

I can't think of anything good for a signature.

Why not one of Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton?
