Aye, the current is not good. Suggestion is better IMO.

I prefer Charlie Chaplin for being something of a Trope Maker.

If it actually looked funny I would agree but really those pics are not really funny.
"Looking funny" is not what this trope is about. The trope is about a specific portrayal, not its audience perception.

'Treating him like a joke' and 'emphasis on wackiness'. implies some kind of comedic portrayal.

Yes, and it shows in the images. "Not funny" does not matter however at all.

I would like the second part of the op. Usually I like collages, but two pics like this does not quite sit well with me. But I like him with the globe ball. Great illustration of the trope. The pics from Producers could go to image links subpage.
No, the other one.
I like the first part of the OP better. 3 also works.

1.1 and 3.1 work well for me.
I love you, Krillin!! -struggling to breathe- I love you as well, honey..
1.1 works for me.
The Unknown
1.1 is good.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?
Hi
1.1 > 3.2. > the others.
Filthy casual
I'll go with 1.1.

Yeah, 1.1 is good.
I'm a (socialist) professional writer serializing a WWII alternate history webnovel.
1.1. for me as well.

Hi
That's enough consensus for 1.1; it's up and tagged, and the old pic and the other suggestions are on an Image Links page. Keep the old caption ("Heil silliness!"), a new one, or none?
Psshhh...
That's a good caption. After all, it demonstrates the point of this trope: A spoof of the Nazi regime.
I'm good with the old caption.

I'm good with the old caption, but I'm just throwing it out there:

Pfffft...that's got my vote.
No, the other one.
Sure.

^^^ I prefer that as well.

The image for Adolf Hitlarious has no source, and besides that, only has a painting of Hitler with a moustache photoshopped on. Perhaps there should be an image from The Great Dictator, which shows a pastiche of Hitler doing silly things:
