Yellow Sash of Power

Current picture

Seems like this picture was added three days ago by m8e. Spongebob looks like he's just had an orgasm and very little about this picture suggests "Hall monitor".

How about something that clearly identifies the character as a hall monitor, while actually in the halls.

Cartman (personal fav :P)

Bart

Bart would be as good as Cartman if Bart wasn't somewhat blurry.

Hidetoshi from Persona 3?

Not excercising power, but DAMN if he doesn't look smug as all hell.

I like that Bart's sash is yellow and other kids are looking at him.

I don't like the current.

I like Cartman best. Hidetoshi just looks like a person with a yellow armband - which isn't the trope - and Bart is too literal.

Bart looks like a hall monitor though.

Is there a bigger version of the Bart pic that makes the text on the sash a little bigger? If not, I lean toward the Cartman pic.

Ok, I just want to point out the big HM badge on his... square pants, there's also the badged cap and the walkie-talkie.

His orgasmic look and the wanted poster in the background also shows the common Insanity part or the trope.

While Spongebob is probably a better example, this isn't obvious from the picture so I agree with replacing it.

My vote goes to Bart. Reasons: The sash is yellow (it isn't in the Cartman pic), he's obviously a hall monitor and he's obviously abusing his power.

Just so we are clear, the trope isn't about the sash's colour, and being literal about that runs the risk that other equally acceptable colours won't be added as examples - Tropes Are Not Narrow.

[up]Conceded. But I still think the Bart pic illustrates the trope more clearly than the Cartman pic.

Calling this one. Can someone please upload the Bart pic and put it on the page? Thanks in advance. Caption or no?

The others are on an Image Links page.

Are we changing the way we're doing it? It used to be you only wanted the pictures in green on Image Links.

[up] Those are the ideal choices, and in a crowner where we've got a lot of options it won't hurt to limit the IL page to just those. In a case such as this where there's not many options, it won't hurt to have some that are in the red on the IL page. I don't like having IL pages with only one or two links, and that factors into it as well.

There does not seem to be consensus on a caption here. Shall we close?

Lack of caption suggestions in the last four days indicates that a caption isn't needed, or that no one has any ideas.
