Does Not Illustrate: Berserk Button.Web Original get usage counts

As it is, it doesn't really demonstrate the trope (it's just a picture of the Bat Credit Card with nothing else). If we are still to have the infamous Bat Credit Card, I would suggest adding The Nostalgia Critic going berserk at its presence. Here's what my alternative is*:

It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere I'm all alone, more or less. Let me fly far away from here!

Your suggestion of adding the reaction to it is an improvement and I support it, though we may well be able to do better still. Also, can the caption either have quote marks (if it's a direct quote of his) or be changed/removed? I don't particularly like the word "rape" being used in that way.

Until a better pic comes along, I'm good with putting in the OP's revision.

Awesome, a second frame that does improve the image!

Anybody else here with a suggestion?

[up] I think your revised picture gets the point across perfectly, to the point that we may not even need a caption if this picture is used.

Sounds good. Replaced the image for at least the time being until something better comes along.

I'm good with this, and feel it is an improvement.

Disagree about caption not being needed; it is hard to tell he's upset (or that is a gun, for that matter), if you don't know what that is.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel.
Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.
I disagree. I can tell both, even not knowing the source material.

Didn't say it's impossible, just hard. Is the disagreement that it's possible, or not hard? It does not "get the point across perfectly". Wouldn't hurt.

I thought it was pretty easy to tell both that whoever that is, is really ticked off, and that he's holding a handgun. However, I will cede that it is possible to get confused.

The pic doesn't have to have the caption, but I don't think putting it back would harm it.

I'm going to right-align the pic, though.

I preferred having the caption, so I readded it.

...Sort of. I replaced it with the actual quote (assuming Funny.The Nostalgia Critic 2008 Episodes is accurate), since the rape line actually came later and I figured just "I'll Kill You!" would suffice.

[up]That works.

The system doesn't know you right now, so no post button for you.
You need to Get Known to get one of those.
