Needs Help: Dolphins Dolphins Everywhere

This isn't really about the picture. It is about the caption. I'm not seeing the relevance of Oh, Crap! (the stock phrase or the trope) to a Dolphin index.

I doubt anyone would object to me cutting it, but does anyone have any ideas for a witty replacement?

"Smile, pretty dolphin!"

It's the page quote, I think.

Flush it.

Yeah, but it doesn't quite work. I'm good without it.

It's because the dolphin has thumbs. Not strong.

I don't think this needs a caption.

Or we could replace it with a picture from an article about that huge dolphin group off California (IIRC) recently if we really wanted to...

Dead link?

EDIT: The actual link is here.

Please be careful about copying and pasting links.

The link problem is due to an issue with the forum parser where it adds a space after every comma for some reason.

I never even noticed the dolphin having thumbs. Now I'm not so sure I like using the picture to represent dolphin tropes as a whole. Perhaps we do need a new picture as well as a new caption.

This is an index about dolphins. (Maybe a too-small one at that). Only needs a picture of a dolphin, not a picture that's better used for a subtrope (missing or not).

Yes, this is just fine a picture.

To make the link work, delete the space after the comma.

Is the Dr. McNinja dolphin-with-a-gun (panel 5) in use on the wiki already, perchance?

Not as far as I know, I'd support it.

Not yet.

If Dolphins Are Bastards ever gets launched, though, I would want to move it there.

Yeah, come to think of it, this particular trope isn't about Dolphins being evil, just... dolphins. In index form.

It isn't really a trope, or at least not anymore. It is now an index of dolphin tropes.

How about we leave it and use Image Links?

The current image is fine. 15 is bad for an index about dolphins. The only possible suggestion the page can use is to have multiple dolphins because the title makes it sound like there's more than one, but that's not a big deal. We could just take the caption away and close this.

Well, it's not exactly hard to find images on dolphins. [1], [2].

I like the second dolphin picture with them all jumping up, although it could probably use some croping when we reduce the size to fit on the page.

My problem with the current picture is that is is a non-standard dolphin. It is really subtle and I didn't catch it until someone pointed it out to me, but now that I've noticed it, I think it best that we not have a picture of a dolphin with thumbs as a generic dophin picture.

I like that one too, or the third image from the second page.

I'd prefer a dolphin image from a work. Maybe Flipper◊?
