Needs Help: Cuckold

The current is a copyrighted stock image. As a replacement suggestion I think the middle panel from this cartoon◊ could be used, as it's at least work safe.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

Good catch; it's pulled and the page is tagged for this thread. The suggestion is good barring other options.

We could go with just the middle panel. The other two are not really informing the trope.

Yeah, go with the middle panel.

Only the middle panel is needed.

(Annoyed grunt)

Yeah, the middle panel alone works well enough for illustrating this trope without worries of NSFW-ness.

Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.

I see some similarities to upcoming Early Home.

^ If there's overlap, I think that one should be changed given that it's a lot broader.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

They're not that similar.

Check out my fanfiction!

I think the scenarios in the two pics are dissimilar enough that we can go with the suggestion.

This article already borders on being Chairs, and a dictionary definition image like that exacerbates the problem. (Even worse, that's a frame from a comic strip mocking Canadians for being too polite; the reaction it depicts is deliberately unusual.)

Instead of illustrating the meaning of the word, it should illustrate the meaning of the trope. The suggested page image would be useless, worse than nothing because it implies that the word definition is all there is to it.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.

Just to get my idea of this trope straight: We are dealing with a specific subtrope of Your Cheating Heart where the victim is a married man, right?

I think Rodney's argument is that the married man needs to display feelings of humiliation and/or anger.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

I have to agree, now that I think about it. The trope isn't just the cheating, it's the man's feelings about it as well, and the suggestion really only covers the first half.

Even though it doesn't really happen, Eyes Wide Shut displays this pretty well...but then, I'm not sure how much of the scenes with Nicole Kidman's character would be SFW for those purposes.

^ Wasn't the adultery only a fantasy of hers? Anyways, it's hard to see that the man in top part is not Tom.

Correct, but Cruise's character's thoughts and moods about it are just like if the affair had actually happened, so from a visual standpoint, that works well...good job.

I'd prefer something a bit more more succinct, but 15 works well enough.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

15 will do.

(Annoyed grunt)

Bump; any other thoughts?

Crowner?

I dunno, the only suggestion we've got right now that really fits the theme of the trope is 15...I'm good to go with that one pending other ideas.

One more bump for votes.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

The opening crime in Minority Report has a prime example. Too bad that Spielberg's artistic vision never allowed for a good one-shot of the threesome. 23.2 depicts the potential contained within this scene where the devastated husband (home early) crouches by the bedside while his unaware wife is making out with her lover. It's a terrible angle for an image though.

Bump. What are people's thoughts on the new images?

(Annoyed grunt)

Still prefer 15. It's not perfect, but it's okay.
