The caption is doing all the work. Without it, the picture is just Some Guy With Glasses. Pull?

Meh. Caption alone doesn't tell anything either, and the person looks like a blind one (not sure why)

[up]I think the idea is "Let me show you this thing on my computer screen, whoops I'm blind and don't realize this is something else".

If it's not that, then I'm really confused.

Argh, searching for something in Robin Hood Men In Tights isn't going well; in images which might work (walking into a tree, missing a ladder, hugging a statue rather than Robin, not noticing that the castle has gone, etc.) you can't see Blinkin's sunglasses. The only thing which really shows them is this, which doesn't really depict a mistake.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Is it me or is that first RL example very bad taste?

And yeah that Robin Hood Men In Tights pretty good the only other good one I can think of is Mousse from Ranma but I am not digging in 36 volumes of the manga without a good reason...

[up][up] I was about to do just that! But then I forgot.

[up] Don't know about the example you mentioned, but I can totally relate to the "digging up 36 volumes" thing.

Would it be wrong to pothole Buxom Is Better in the "But you grew some nice boobs."?

It just Crosses the Line Twice there to be funny as hell.

[down] No it isn't.

But it would be yet more misuse of Buxom Is Better.

Buxom Is Better is a specific situation In-Universe where a girl is considered more attractive specifically because she's well endowed. It has nothing to do with the situation that the caption implies, namely that the blind guy thinks his male friend has grown boobs.

Bump...the Magoo pics are alright, but I much prefer the Robin Hood example. Any other thoughts?

A couple more votes for Robin and we can run with it...hopefully not into things.

This one's withering on the vine and Blinkin has some consensus, so the pic's up, potholed, and tagged. Locking up.
