Does Not Illustrate: Creepy Cleanliness

Not an example.

Suggestions would be great, but if there aren't any, I think pulling it would be an improvement.

Found a couple of panels from these Endtown strips.

Too much text.

Agree with pulling the current.

Seems too text-dependent. Without the dialogue it wouldn't have anything to do with the trope.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested. The emphasis of the image is on the halo and the cleaner woman, which signifies cleanliness for me. The blood or blood-like thing on the apron throws it off, making it look like she has just cleaned up a murder scene. Looks clean and creepy enough for me.

But a bloody apron isn't the trope. It is "related to Neat Freak." The current image is misleading.

Don't really like it. There has to be some chlorine ad we can use.

I think it's misleading. It's not so clean and pristine it's creepy. It's mostly clean and pristine, but it's the non-cleanliness of the blood makes it creepy. The latter is about dissonance, while the former is quite the opposite, as there's a complete lack of dissonance.

I also think it's pull-worthy, for reasons especially stated by Duck. The suggestion in #2 isn't really better.

Pull it, pull it with no remorse.

+1 to pull, and it's gone.

"Use the loofa."

That looks funny more than creepy.

I think I saw an image from Logans Run somewhere that might fit here.

You're thinking of the Ascetic Aesthetic page image. I'd rather it stays there.

^^^ That is really funny tho :)

Thanks for that.

Okay, here's my A game. After this I don't know that I can find new pics using existing parameters. The first three are from The Skin I Live In, the last one is a Magic The Gathering card Phyrexian Unlife. There's a few more in that vein here.

On a tangent, parody images of this trope are ridiculously easy to find.

The last one isn't clean. The first three doesn't do anything for me, since they're as clean as you'd expect a hospital operating room to be. While that's potentially part of the trope, it's not doing anything for me.

The one in post 12 is funny. Funny wins.

I am willing to give Keep Until Better Image Suggested to 12 under the proviso that it gets a good caption -akin to "Foam doesn't like clean"

I can live with 12, although since I haven't watched the video yet the context is kinda lost on me.

The video was actually creepy and offensive enough to get that advertisement pulled. The premise is: imagine those cheerful tub cleaning soap suds stay around and watch you shower.

As to a caption, all I can think of is "Soap suds salivate seeing you shower."

That's not an example of the trope, though. And anyway, the picture doesn't show that.

Clock is set. Are we going with 12?

If Logans Run was viable, maybe Portal?

12. No idea what you mean with Portal, it's a redlink.
