Image doesn't illustrate the trope too well. The actual trope is placed in the corner and isn't too noticeable as button popping without the small dialogue text. The rest of the image also distracts the eyes from it.

As this is a fairly common comedy trope with several variations (buckles are the second most common, and the Big Hero 6 trailer did an armor variation), it shouldn't be too hard to find more illustrative images out there.

Here's a few pics I found from a quick GIS to start us out with:

I was about to suggest a certain zipper pop from D-Frag, but the images for that aren't good (manga has a good one, but it's too long).

Also, I like the pregnant suggestion.

[up] Hmmmm...that certainly works, but I had to do a double-take to realize what was happening in the last panel.

Seems OK for me as well.

I think 4 is less clear than either in 1.

Jeez a google image search was not a good idea. -_- Won't do that again.

It is what it is.

Can't imagine why you thought it was a good idea in the first place. tongue

I would vote for 1.2 over 4, too.

Alright, the clock's up and we've got enough consensus to go with 1.2, so it's up and tagged. Locking up.
