Poor Image: Stalking Is Funny If It Is Female After Male

J Kalve uploaded an image from Girl Meets World which is extremely poor quality. I'm also not sure how well the image demonstrates this trope; the last two panels don't really fit, and don't illustrate the reverse that well either.

That's bad; pull regardless of replacement.

Pull.

And it might be difficult to find something good that doesn't cross with Stalker Shrine, so BUPKIS?

Pull.

Good lord, that quality is abyssmal.

Pull.

It's a bit too easy to look at that image and see the male character as the "stalker".

Current is terrible, and needs to be pulled.

Fair point.

Here's a video with all of the relevant points in their character dynamic. With subtitles. Might be possible to build something decent out of it.

The pic's gone and the page is tagged.

^ Thanks.

I'm leaning more towards BUPKIS purely because I think it will be hard to show the "it's funny" double standard part of the trope unless we use a comic example.

Maybe put something together with the Hyper Fangirl from The Nostalgia Critic, such as a collage of the montage scenes from this video? Most of the Critic's reaction to her are very cartoonish, which may make the Played for Laughs angle easier to understand. I also don't think there's any risk of seeing the reverse as the stalker.

Some images I pulled from the Looney Tunes Show song "We are in love"

Lola outside Bugs' house [1]◊ or [2]◊

Lola tracking Bugs to Bolivia [3]◊

Lola in the closet (probably a two image set) [4]◊ [5]◊

Lola tapped Bugs' phone [6]◊

As others have mentioned, it's kind of hard to find stalking images that are funny. Usually it's the whole chase that is funny.

My last idea is this scene from MLP of Pinkie Pie breaking into Cranky's house through the chimney, but I can't find one without the logos. [7]◊ Maybe someone can screencap the episode?

• 1 and 2 are legit creepy rather than funny.
• 3 is great.

I like 11.5 best. Or the MLP one if we can find a version without those bugs in the lower right corner.

I like 11.3.

I also found a bugless version of 11.7 and another version that crops out some of the dead space.

13.5

Weak on the "stalking" part and looks just like Abhorrent Admirer.

I agree. 14.2 looks a bit blurry, but otherwise it's good. It conveys the stalking part and is also funny.

Agreed.

The standouts right now are 11.3 and 14.2.

I'm happy with either.

14.2

"Timmy-senpai! Only 5 hours of digging and here you are!"

EDIT: This is assuming that she popped out of the ground and didn't drop in...I don't know the context.

With the logos removed I like 14.2

I don't really love the MLP one cuz the characters aren't in focus very well, but I guess it shows the "stalking" and "funny" better than other suggestions.

Clock is set. Crowner?

Crowner here.
