Maybe if the "Well, this sucks" text was cropped off.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.I assume the purpose of this is to be completely confusing and make the viewer feel like a moron... ಠ_ಠ Well, if that was your intent, then congratulations. Because I don't get it. Or rather, I get it, but don't get how it really demonstrates in a simple to understand way without having to turn the screen upside-down.

Check out my fanfiction!Apologies, Rethkir.
Is 'mistakenly' putting something upside-down to show stupidity a Discredited Trope? And does anyone know why it just says 'Discussion' instead of 'Image Pickin' Discussion' like every other IP crowner?
EDIT: Ah, there it goes.

About the "Discussion" problem, there has been a bug ever since earlier this summer. The same is true for TRS. You have to "rename" the thread (top left corner), keep the article the same and just click "save", and that should fix it. It's really a bug report problem. Septimus reported it a while ago, but nothing's been done about it.
Image Source. Please update whenever an image is changed.I think the joke is more "oops, we put the image on upside down". The problem is, this trope is about the the producer assuming that the viewer is an idiot, not the producer of the work doing something stupid. The idea would fit much better on something like Epic Fail.
Reaction Image Repository"A common belief among TV executives is that everyone who watches TV has the intellect of Beavis and Butt-Head."
In other words, the trope is not "Someone does something stupid". It's "The producers of a work assumes that everyone in the audience is stupid, and write the show accordingly."
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.Weird, I thought Epic Fail had a picture. It would need a different caption, I used this website for upside-down text.
Maybe a picture◊ of Beavis And Butthead in a sophisticated setting with a witty caption?
"We may play morons on Television, but..."
It's better than an intentionally confusing upside down image macro.
That's definitely the best, but can you make it bigger?
Image Source. Please update whenever an image is changed.That's a good Take That!.

@12 is relatively OK for me.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI like Calvin and Hobbes.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.12 is great.
How about this picture of a guy watching paint dry◊?
Palpare Tropo: Grope the Trope!That doesn't really illustrate the trope. It's not "people are dumb". It's "Executives in charge of a production, or the creators of a work, treat the audience like they're stupid."
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.Doesn't say moron.
Check out my fanfiction!12 works much better for me than the other two, although it's a mite cluttered compared to how it could be - but I'll look past that simply because it gets the point over quite ell.
"Did you expect somebody else?"I like the Calvin and Hobbes one the most.

Clock is set. One or two more votes for 12 and we can run with it.
I just now realized that we had enough votes to use the C&H pic, and since the clock's up, it's up, potholed, and tagged. Locking up.
