Previous thread, which was about some troper unilaterally replacing this pic with this pic before the old one was restored.

So the page picture wasn't selected so much as left on the page because the undiscussed replacement was worse. However, I'm having a hard time figuring out what the current has to do with the trope at all, presumably because I haven't seen Sanford. "The Big One" refers to the possible earthquake on the San Andreas fault line, I believe?

Opening.

No, One of Redd Foxx's ongoing schticks as Fred Sanford was him clutching his chest and declaring that "This is the big one!" (i.e. a fatal heart attack) when things went wrong. The Aneurism Moment came when Redd Foxx died of a heart attack.

The caption could explain that.

The Bill Cosby one is still funny, albeit for all the wrong reasons. I'd say the "big one" example is much more fitting.

Bumping after a few days... anyone else have any thoughts on this?

I think it's better to have the heart attack pictured largely because of the Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgment.

The Redd Fox pic fits a lot better IMO.

I'm not sure a caption would remedy its JAFAAC-ness. I'm open to suggestions, but I foresee it being pretty clunky.
