This is a quintessential example of JAFAAC. It's just a guy... and a caption.

An ordinary writer steps on stage to give a little extra exposition on his show. But when he's ready to leave, the exits are blocked. He has just entered The Twilight Zone...

Aye, not seeing the trope there.

It's not even an example. Pull.

[up] Actually, it is. Rod Serling is listed as an example on the trope page.

But it's not one, even if it's on the page. Twilight Zone was an anthology show, and those were, at that time, generally hosted (intro and outro) by the producer or creator, rather than an actor playing a part. Alfred Hitchcock did the same thing. So did Walt Disney.

[up][up] But as the example points out, The Twilight Zone itself wasn't going to be one of those until the gag cameo. So one could argue it still is an example.

Anyway, I don't really mind cutting either way.

Vote for pull.

Do we really need an image for this page, though? Not sure this is even possible to illustrate without caption

Maybe a stacked image of Kevin Smith directing and Kevin Smith as Silent Bob?

That said, I lean towards no image. Just throwing it out there in case someone likes it.

[up]What's the second image supposed to indicate, though? For me it just looks like he's hanging out eating fast food with someone else

He's a character in the second.

[up]It doesn't really show that he's supposed to be a movie character though. The scene doesn't look like it's a movie scene at all. And even so, there's no indication that the movie he appeared in is something he created.

Clock's up; we've got enough consensus to pull the pic, so it's gone and the page is tagged. Locking up.
