Not in the slightest. I certainly wouldn't object to a pull.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

That, A Day in the Limelight. HA HA HA—No.

And what is this with anim(ation|e) characters always having bizarrely wide trousers.

Yank it.

I don't think it harms the page, though.

Pulled it. This is going to be tough. I mean, you have to know who the obscure characters are to show the trope, and there is no way you can rely on enough people knowing the cast that well.

Goal: Clear, Concise and Witty

[up] Agreed. Barring a parody or lampshade, I really don't know of a way that this can be adequately done.

Recognizable, hrmm? IIRC, Eddie's said something to the effect of "Everybody has seen Star Wars. Everybody." So maybe...

The Star Wars Holiday Special: a day in the limelight for Chewbacca and his family! (Boy, do we wish we hadn't gotten this.)

I'm not especially serious with this suggestion

[up] The text in the bottom left corner would be unreadable at wiki-sized, though.

Technically it works, but I'm completely meh about it, plus there's [up] to consider.

I can barely read it at 350 on a 15" @ 1920*1080. (I have to look closely but it's possible.)

Admittedly, the first version of the image I found on GIS didn't even have that caption, so I wasn't that concerned about it.

It also had a huge IGN watermark in the bottom-right, which is why I started to dig deeper.

The second paragraph is really unnecessary... I don't know if you shrank it or just cropped it, but if you sharnk it you could cut off the bottom paragraph and make the rest of it a bit bigger.

[up]I cropped the image to 430* and then resized it to 350*. The image is limited by the width so removing the second paragraph won't make anything bigger.

*Width

If anyone still wants to consider other images, I put forward this one from Scrubs, Their Story showcasing the three supporting characters who star.

Something with a spotlight might be nice, with such a metaphysical concept.

That image works for me because I have seen bits of the show, but...

Yeah, I'm afraid that's meaningless to me since I don't know the show it's from. JAFAAC.

I know that show and while they are awesome examples, they are still JAFAAC.
