Wait, that's supposed to be a visual pun? I fail to see how a damaged hat is related to this trope. It needs to be killed with fire.
Oh, wait. "Old hat". Ha. Still terrible though.
No, the other one.
I was only vaguely familiar with that expression to begin with. I don't find it that funny, but the expression itself does lend a clue to the trope. It's probably not clear enough for most people, though.

This trope doesn't need an illustration, and the current Visual Pun adds nothing. I'd be fine with cutting it, but really, I'm completely neutral to it.

Hi
+1 to pull.
If we don't have anything to replace it with, I'd for leaving it be.
Sorry, guys. Gotta go with the visual pun. Sorry if some don't get it, but the payoff is pretty good for those that do.

What the hell is that supposed to be? An old tophat? How's that an illustration of the trope? Even as a Visual Pun it fails. Motion to pull this thing with extreme prejudice.
