The Pokémon example seems to be the weakest, as it relies heavily on context. Could be improved by showing the invention about to blow up, or something.
The Bunsen one's my favorite of the bunch.

she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportIronically, the Pokemon example shows the bungling the best, but not the inventor. The others have the opposite problem.
Not feeling any of these.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?i like 1.2 (a bigger version [1]◊)
I like 1.1.
Don't get anything from 1.3 either. 1.1 works.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"Throwing my hat in for 1.4, though I agree that none are great.
I find 1.4 about as illustrative as 1.3. That is, not nearly enough.
Check out my fanfiction!I think 1.4 shows the inventor aspect, but not so strong with the "bungling". 1.3 has the exact opposite issue (it shows a bunch of bungling idiots with no clear indication that any of them are inventors)
Clock is set.
