The current is a pretty poor quality image that only shows a Visual Pun, informing basically nothing about the trope itself. As a replacement suggestion I'll offer this cover of the classic boardgame Junta.

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

Seems pretty solid to me, pending other options.

That's a much better representation of the trope. [tup]

Junta is so-so from my side.

Better than nothing and/or the current.

That's 6 solid [tup]s and two weak [tup]s; go ahead and put it up.

It's up and the page tagged for this thread. Caption?

"They're bananas all right."

Too cheesy?

I don't think so. Well, I would say that 'cos it's just the sort of thing I'd come up with. grin

It's a pun, so it can't be that bad.

Well, I prefer dry heat, but otherwise OK.

I think I like 12 better. It took me a couple reads to find the pun in 16, which may mean it's too subtle—or I'm just tired.

12 is the better caption.
