Yeah, the current picture is an example, but a very poor illustration. Unless you've actually seen that episode of Friendship Is Magic you wouldn't know that the joy is flat. It certainly looks like she's legitimately happy.

The only suggestion I have off-hand is the last panel of this, which is linked on the page. her facial expression illustrates the trope a lot more than the current image.

Definite yank. I don't like the suggestion, though.

Maybe the last panel of this?

Wow, that pic is actually an example? Seriously?

The current image is weird. I don't like it.

The suggestion isn't better, tho.

[up][up] Actually, yes. In-context, it's more of a "Yay!" than the "Yay!" the picture makes it sound like.

Maybe "Jafar, Jafar, he's our man..."? The description implies sarcastic joy applies too (surprisingly).

It's cool if it's an example but the pic is seriously misleading.

How about this pic of Governor Chris Christie giving the world's most enthusiastic fist pump?

Kind of weak to me.

Garfield is slightly better than El Goonish Shive. None of the other suggestions are even in the running for me.

Can we go ahead and yank the current? Because that needs to go.

I like the Garfield one, myself.

And yeah, the Fluttershy thing is an example, but the picture doesn't really show it at all. I vote for pulling it, as it really doesn't show the trope at all.

Just for reference, here's the context:

Okay, pretty good example, but only works in sound, not in imagery.

How about this cat? Everyone likes cats.

Or the Genie.

[up] The cat's an Image Macro and those can't be used for page pics. The Genie was suggested earlier in the thread.

[up] But the genie one linked to some random dude.

[up][up] How strange, the link went to the Genie pic earlier today.

Well, at any rate, [up] is definitely a contender.

I've changed my mind and will support the Genie over the others.
