I also find the poster from this to be amusing, though perhaps a little less clear: [3] Thoughts?

You have 1.3 here somewhat larger and in colour.

Yeah, the running with scissors comic is a nice illustration for the trope.

I've gone ahead and put up 3 and tagged the page. Caption or no? I'm thinking no.
