Cut:

I don't know why people keep thinking this is an example. Eating popcorn in a cinema while watching a movie is People Sit on Chairs.

It was pretty bad, and it's much better to show a trope with a single image than a comic. This one works perfectly, given the shocked expressions of the people in the background while the boy up front is just merrily eating popcorn.

In a fanfic, there's actually a goblin devoted to delivering popcorn on demand.. literally wherever. It's tasty too! Also, it's his job.

Given the current political climate, I hope the popcorn you brought wasn't extra salty.

This is a great image for this page, but being a 1MB animated gif, it may be too big: http://i.imgur.com/e6OGG

I believe it's site policy not to make gifs into page images.

The other problem is that, unless you know the context from the Thriller music video, it doesn't illustrate the trope very well. The current one illustrates both the popcorn eating, and the fact whatever the kid is watching upsets everyone else present.

notreallyatroper: It's not that the new picture isn't good, but what was wrong with the old one.
