Usually we put an homage example on pages like this instead of the original shot. Suggestion from this music video.

Doesn't seem especially clear to me (I didn't even know what I was supposed to be looking for until I checked the page).

Trope name is not very indicative, from the title I would have guessed that it was referencing the stocking scene

Combine the two pics, perhaps?

That works, with an appropriate caption.

One or two more votes for 6 and we can close this one.

[up] 6.1, if I'm not mistaken, is the orginal image. My question is, do we use the homage pic or combine them? I think this one may need both since I'd bet that most people think of the leg shot when they read the title.

[up][up] I was under the impression that the intent was to use both just like they are there.

Alright, looks like we've got enough consensus to roll with this. I've combined the pics in 6 and added them to the page.

For the caption, I was thinking "Wayne, you're trying to imitate me, aren't you?" to play off the iconic quote from The Graduate. Thoughts?

Do we need to point out where both panels are from, or is that obvious from the page and image link?

Either the pic or the "Wayne" should be potholed to Wayne's World; doesn't matter to me which.

This one's stalling out. I've added the caption and moved the pothole there but haven't tagged it since there's not a lot of consensus. Locking up.
