Okay, I'm pretty positive we've already had a thread that went into this one.
EDIT: Or maybe it was just this.
Either way, again, the man looks snarky. Keep Until Better Image Suggested. You should start a thread on the Web Animation one, though, because that one I'd heartily support a pull on.

You mean this? https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1316325571047008100&page=1
No, the other one.
The only deadpan I see is the frying pan she's holding. I believe not having that aspect of the trope is a common problem, so it may be harming the page. I'm for pulling it.

Hi
Hmmmm...is it me, or is that pic kinda artifacted? It has a bit more context than the Morgan Freeman pic on the Live Action Film page (you can see his expression in reaction to her fear of the bunny), but it could be cleaner.

Maybe a little blurry, but I'm not seeing any typical telltale artifacts. Plus it's a PNG, so there's that?

Yes - it's his expression that sells it. Keep Until Better Image Suggested.
The Revolution Will Not Be Tropeable
No, the other one.
I think it's his expression that detracts from it, to the point of being misleading.

Agreed, his expression is really good for this trope.
These are really hard to not get JAFAA Cs, but it's pretty good. His expression seems deadpan, the situation is clearly madcap, and he's clearly talking.

No, the other one.
I think he looks surprised. Calmly surprised, but surprised. Too animated. And not deadpan.

This image needs some cropping that we can actually see the face.

I can't really make out his expression at this resolution, and I'm afraid that a close-up without the rabbit in it just wouldn't make sense. I get what the picture is going for, I just don't think it's doing it well.
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
I agree. He doesn't look very snarky and she detracts from his expression. I don't know about a replacement. Mittens
◊ maybe?
No, the other one.

That's an improvement over no image which is an improvement over the current.
In uffish thought
That.
Not that. How about Mittens is good, the current is also good, either are better than none.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
That just looks sleepy to me.
I think snarkiness is really helped by seeing what they're snarking at... can't be snarky on your lonesome, now can you?

Hi
I have to agree. Not impressed with the Mittens pic as is.
That doesn't look sleepy to me...

It's the eyebrows that mean I don't read it as sleepy.

I approve of the Mittens pic.

I prefer the existing image.

Cocked eyebrow on the Mittens pic suggests laconic, not sleepy to me. I'd support swapping it, but current is also fine.
Do we want a crowner for this?
^ I would like to seem some more suggestions first if anyone has some.
While we're on the topic of snarking, it's been awhile since I've seen Tangled and I'm pretty sure it has a few snarkers in it, but I fail to see how "scared girl wrapped around her love interest holding a frying pan" is at all illustrative of being a deadpan snarker.
