The trope is about how certain foreign characters speak butchered English. The image is, well, I'm not exactly sure but it appears to be a blurry mask with red eyes. I'd call it JAFAAC except I'm not even sure it is a face. Poor quality and doesn't illustrate the trope, so I suggest we replace it.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

[up] You forgot the "primitive or of low intellect" part of the description. I'll say Keep Until Better Image Suggested...I'd like to see something that actually shows the entire creature, like one of the kobolds from World Of Warcraft actually using the trope name phrase.

EDIT: This may turn into a TRS issue, which is even more of an incentive to not mess with the pic.

I'd say those are better than the current, since it still shows the trope, but the sentence isn't just a slight variation on the trope name. (mirror instead of candle)

Never mind, my brain just kicked in. I was reading that completely backwards.

[up] Dang, that's good too...I just wish the face was a little more clear.

Sharpened it a bit

Also just thought of a caption: "Yes, but please first learning how to better English."

I like the picture too.

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

Alright, that's enough consensus. If someone will upload the pic and put it on the page, I'll take care of the rest.

Downloaded, uploaded, put up, potholed and tagged.

Caption? What do we do with the old image?

[up] I just captioned it with the one proposed a few posts up.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Looks good. Locking up.

EDIT: I added the old pic to its reference in the Video Games section, since making an Image Links page for one pic is a waste.
