Suggestion (New Crowner June 21, 2013): Generation Xerox

This trope is taken to ridiculous extremes in Back To The Future. I'd probably like a modified version of this, but I think this is a good starting point. [1]◊

Picture definitively needs work, but I wanted to get the point across before I go capturing screenshots and editing them in Photoshop. We should look for pictures of Biff/Griff/Buford bullying/being a Jerkass.

The first picture is the actor, no the character. And most of those pictures are the same individual

It's a good example, but the picture needs work. Also feels more like an Identical Grandson as it doesn't show they are all bullies to some Mc Fly.

It's a start, but it does need work.

Here at 250:

Yeah, that can come down to 250 or 225 and not lose anything.

Still would prefer them doing something. This is just showing Identical Grandson.

Well, they are making the same exact face. And it just screams jerkass.

At least this shows the family tendency to dive head first in manure.

That's an improvement. I'm developing a Monty Python and the Holy Grail caption for that, but it's gonna take a bit to digest.

That works.

Bump. This looks fine. A shame Griff doesn't end up in manure.

The caption is good, but I'll have to wait to see how it looks when the wiki's out of the crazy zone.
Oh, I see. Well, if the caption is the original size, then it's good.

Caption formatting is now working, but the forums are doing the "images are reduced to 300 px" thing again.

Bump; any other thoughts?

I like it.

The image is surprisingly comprehensible. I approve.

I just now thought to pothole Monty Python and the Holy Grail in the caption...should it be the whole thing or just the last sentence?

Re-bump...one or two more s for the manure pic and we can run with it.

I'm fine with it.

Oh, yeah, I did.

You already voted, man.

I really don't want to use a picture of a couple of guys covered in manure.

Fine with it.

I don't like it either, cause manure in general is a serious Squick for me. Sorry to rain on your parade by being hung up like that, but it seriously makes me nauseous. If we're looking for a Generation Xerox pic, Blackadder is all over the trope. Such as: [1]◊ [2]

It's fine with me. It's a bit gross, but it's a good illustration.
