It's a great picture, but I'd rather link to a work if possible.

Not sure why. The purpose of the image is to illustrate the trope, not to promote a work.

Some people have preferences for images from works (this being a wiki about tropes in fiction) and/or images that can be sourced to a work page with a pothole.

Personally, these factors are fairly low in my "what makes a good image" criteria but other people weigh differently.

My vote would be Use Unless Better Image Suggested.

A good picture is a good picture, especially if it's funny. It doesn't matter I'd it's not from something.

It being from a potholable work is on the level of all else being equal for me. And they very rarely are equal.

Love the picture. Doesn't even need a caption.

Again, Duck says what I would. All other things being equal, I'd pick an image from a work over one that isn't. All other thing are almost never completely equal.

"We made him watch."
Personally, I prefer no caption, but just testing it.

How about

How about "He knew he was next."

The "they made him watch" ones just sound too much like repeating the trope name to me.

[up]I think that one would detract from the trope. It's not about showing something to cause the anticipation of it happening to yourself, but the act itself of showing your loved ones being painful.

[up][up]Probably works better.

Good enough; it's up and tagged. Now we just need to decide on a caption.

Nope. But that scene from A Clockwork Orange isn't the trope. From the Other wiki: "forcing a patient to watch, through the use of specula to hold the eyes open, violent images for long periods, while under the effect of a nausea-inducing drug. The aim of the therapy was to condition the patient to experience severe nausea when experiencing or even thinking about violence, thus creating an aversion to violent behaviour."
