I can't tell if the one on the left is improvising a comedic act or not.

I'm going to vote Keep Until Better Image Suggested on this, mainly because Eddie's a huge Marx Brothers fan. That said, I definitely would prefer to see a pic of Harpo doing something more obviously comical, as I can't really tell what he's got in his hand.

I'll vote PETIFMnote  here - not really clear how this illustrates the trope.

Everyone should be a huge Marx Brothers fan.

As it is, this probably isn't clear enough, is it. Hm.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

[up]If it's true, then Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure applies to me.

That's said, I don't think that image is any better in conveying the improv part.

Don't think this is picturable, unless you were to include a picture of the script. Since it's all about improvised comedic bits. And how do you illustrate improv? So Keep Until Better Image Suggested on the image.

Is 4 better than current? If so, Swap Until Better Image Suggested.

I think #4 illustrates the trope better.

4 has Harpo doing something funny. Can't capture the script part of it in image form, but this is a decent enough compromise.

4's an improvement content-wise, if not quality-wise.

EDIT: Here it is at 350...I'm content with this.

[up] I like that one better, since it has Harpo doing something obviously funny that's unrelated to the actions of the other two, which could imply that he's improvising. Better than nothing, and better than current, which qualifies it for a page image.

It IS better than nothing, as it demonstrates the funny part.

I'm okay with it as the page image as long as the others agree that it fits.

Good enough; it's up and tagged. Do we want to recycle the old caption, come up with something new, or just leave it be?
