Caption Discussion/Repair Thread: Convenient Photograph

The Face of the Sun uses the Latin American "Sun of May" icon (as implied by its "Sol de Mayo" filename) but is neither potholed to anything about this, nor does its caption refer and/or pothole to this. In fact, the caption even refers to the Raisin Bran logo, and it's easy to think that's what it's from if you haven't actually looked at a box of Raisin Bran in a while and don't think to check the filename.

I'd say pull the caption regardless of replacement, and find a valid source, (ie. not Wikipedia) explaining the Sun of May, to which to pothole either the image or any caption we come up with.

EDIT: Also, the caption for Idea Bulb has nothing to do with the image.

EDIT again: Hilariously Abusive Childhood's caption could also use a note about how it's supposed to be "well," not "good." You can pothole it to Comically Missing the Point as well, I just figure tropers could use the reminder.

Crowner's hooked for Distant Duet.

"It's almost like you're here with me" is running away with it. 5 points in the lead, 4 points in the green; the others are in the red.

The new caption's up on Distant Duet, and a new crowner's hooked for You Cloned Hitler!.

The new caption's up on You Cloned Hitler!.

Are captions allowed to have spoiler tags in them? Because Otherwords added a caption to Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon that contains a spoiler tag.

I don't think there's a hard rule against it, but it should be discouraged.

I thought that fell under the whole no spoiler tags above the example line rule, but I could be wrong. I know it's come up once before. I think it was Angsty Surviving Twin, but I'm not certain.

Good point...probably need to redo that caption to get rid of the spoiler, then.

I went ahead and removed the spoiler in the caption on Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon since other than that, it's a fine caption.

Crowner's hooked for Conviction by Counterfactual Clue.

There's an option missing in the crowner: "Presumably, no woman ever adjusted her husband's or boyfriend's tie for him, and no woman ever dropped in and chatted to the barber while her boyfriend or husband was getting a haircut."

It's a bit long for a caption tbh.

The caption on Stupid Crooks was changed a few days ago. I noticed it when went to fix the formatting.

I get that it's a Spongebob quote but it's funnier without the needless pothole. It's also more funny than the previous caption.

Agree on both points. Edit: Caption change was made by a ban evader, so I'll revert it for now.

I've put up the caption on Conviction by Counterfactual Clue and tagged it.

Do you guys think we can change the caption for Token Minority? I’m not sure why we have an ableist slur in a caption, which is apparently a pun...that I do not get.

The pun is about Timmy, the guy in the wheelchair; it's punning on "cripple"...which is kinda crude, but given that it's South Park, that's to be expected.

Well, just because South Park is offensive doesn't mean that we should be offensive on this site - there are better ways to handle this. (Also, I don't even think it works as a pun).

Heartwarming.Coco and AwesomeMusic.Coco both have the same caption. If it sounds necessary to prevent redundancy, I've considered the following alternative for the former:

"Mamá Coco? Your papá — he wanted you to have this."

I'm good with that.

Me Too!

Edit: And I see it's already on there now.

Crowner's hooked for Psychic Strangle.

The link in the caption for Five-Token Band is broken. Any way to fix that?
