Nah, I think six panels is too much. I'd rather vote for 17.2 + 24.

By the way, couldn't those four panels be arranged in a 2x2 fashion?

[up]I Actually like your ideas better.

[tup]17.2 plus 24

[tup] 17.2 plus 24 with the four panels in a 2x2 fashion. Also, the pothole should be to pun, not Just For Pun (which is an index).

[up] Fixed.

I also favor the 4 panel version.

4 panels works just as well as 6; I just think 17.2 is unnecessarily large when stacked vertically.

The panels in 17.2 are too wide to stack them 2x2.

Am I the only one content to wait for a kickass image?

Admittedly, I'm slightly more partial to 17.1 because having one panel in six (16.7% of the image) illustrates the "moment" aspect of this trope slightly better than one panel in four (25% of the image). It just further emphasizes that this one moment is very brief and not like the rest of the show.

[up] On second thought, that's a good point.

How about illustrating this trope with the Pink Elephants scene from Dumbo?

[up]It would be Just a Face and a Caption by itself, and is a better example of Disney Acid Sequence.

Calling the crowner. The new pic's up and tagged; reuse the old caption, something else, or none?

I like bitemytail's caption suggestion.

My caption suggestion was in post 24, should anyone be looking for it.

"Accordion to this trope, the 3rd image has nothing to do with the rest of the review."

Just For Pun can be used instead of Incredibly Lame Pun if preferred.

Nitpick, but I would prefer "3rd" to be written out as "third".

41 works but is kinda clunky, and Incredibly Lame Pun isn't the right pothole since that requires an in-universe reaction to the pun. Maybe "That third pic's out of left field accordion to the trope."?

[up] Incredibly Lame Pun is just a redirect to Pun, which isn't YMMV.

you might be thinking of Lame Pun Reaction.
