I don't get it either. Let's pull.
Me neither. I don't think it's even possible to find an image that isn't JAFAC, unless it's a comic lampshading it.

Couldn't the trope be well represented by a picture of the Doctor from Doctor Who?
Only if the image shows someone asking "Doctor who?" and it's not in the caption. There are plenty of Doctor Who comics.

Trans Siberian Anarchestra (it/they)
Oh - that's from Galaxy Quest, I think. It's a terrible image, and I'm not even sure it's an example (it's the same kind of situation as the page quote, which is also misleading).
The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableSo, anyone object to a pull? Because I don't.

Hi
Posting the old pic.
There is no Planet B
Good that you got rid of it.
I kinda like the idea of Doctor Who. I don't watch it (though plan to dig in in the future), and I know about this catchphrase. I didn't know there were comics. Sounds like it could work.

Definitely worth getting into. I found this article
on the phrase, and it lists every time the joke is made. There are a few examples from comics, which is fantastic.

There is no Planet B
IMO that could work. Is this the most recognizable doctor? I wouldn't know.
What might be even better... I'd like having a collage of say 4 images, to emphasize that it must be repetitive.
Trans Siberian Anarchestra (it/they)
Probably not. That's the 6th; the most recognisable are the 4th (Tom Baker, "the one with the scarf") for the old series, and the 10th (David Tennant) for the new series (though 11 is catching up). I like the idea of a collage, though. Here's another example.

There is no Planet B
I have another suggestion. I made a collage for Ace Rimmer of Red Dwarf. Not a definitive version — I could play with it a bit, swap some pictures, replace the speech bubbles with subtitles, things like that.

In uffish thought
That's fine with me.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
I approve of that.

I don't get it.
There is no Planet B
The guy in the middle is known as Ace Rimmer, and everybody he encounters just gasps "What a guy" with utter admiration. The screen grabs are from the moments when it was said. Perhaps if I turned on subtitles and included them, it might be clearer. I thought Red Dwarf is a fairly known sci-fi show.

Hi
It works well enough for me, although the pic of Rimmer could be a little bigger or more focused on his face.
No, the other one.
Too bad most of them look to the left. Would be great if all of them looked at him.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
There is no Planet B
Another version, with Ace's face and people looking at him.

Hi
That's not bad, either.
No, the other one.
I like it. Sort of, anyway.

The current image confuses me, as I don't know what work it's from, who catches the phrase, and what the phrase refers to. o3o I don't know if this trope is possible to represent in an image without it being wholly text-oriented.
