The image doesn't illustrate the problem of not having a can opener where one is needed.

Suggestions:

Either suggestion is good.

I think the second one is funnier, so I'll put my vote on that.

I like the first one.

Second one gets it across better. First one is simply "Whoops, we forgot to give them a can opener!", but it could still work.

Second seconded. We need more pics from classic movies.

I'll go ahead and give the second the nod. Any other thoughts?

Clock is set. Do we have consensus?

I prefer the current. It's funnier, plus it shows the massive amount of canned goods that are apparently required by the trope definition.

Funny =/= Illustrative.

That said, second one gets my vote.

1.2 works too, I guess.

That's enough consensus for 1.2, let's run with it.

Okay, switched in the winner, and will unclock in a moment. Any ideas for a caption?

What do you mean "you forgot"?

I don't think a caption is necessary.

I'm good without a caption.
