Bad captions show us how it's done: Take That Scrappy

Aside from the abominable SUHID caption, the image isn't very good. What really demonstrates that Piplup is a scrappy? I wouldn't have thought so without looking at this page.

Pulled for JAFAAC. Previous:

Which one is Gible?

The shark that's biting Piplup the Penguin, who has become The Scrappy for the US audience, mostly because he likes to brag and act like an egotistical overconfident bad-ass when he rarely ever backs it up. In short, he's practically a Miles Gloriosus.

Oh hey, speaking of Miles Gloriosus, another JAFAAC.

^ Heck, not even the caption makes sense for that one.

I just created a thread for that one.

What about that moment Scooby Doo punched Scrappy in the movie?

Considering Scrappy is the trope namer.

Jar Jar Binks in carbonite?◊

Star Wars is considered pretty iconic.

Here's another.

That's priceless. Ha.

Hitting Jar Jar would be funny, but it's kinda hard to tell that's Jar Jar without pointing it out; just looks like a Faceless Mook hitting a random alien.

I mentioned in the Image Pickin' thread for The Scrappy that some of the suggested images of Scrappy getting some just desserts in-universe would work as examples for Take That, Scrappy!.

Ookamikun posted these of Scrappy getting yelled at by the rest of the crew:

And also this one of Scrappy getting caged:

(EDIT: Markup goof.)

If someone can get a picture of Scrappy getting punched by Scooby from the live-action film, I think it will work.

... I am tempted to go rent the movie just to get a screencap of that!

Allow me.

It's a sequence sadly, so I'll leave it up to you.

Why use a sequence when there are individual pictures that work better?

Is there one you can get of Scooby punching Scrappy, right when he connects?

Though, the last one with Scooby's satisfied grin and Scrappy splatted against a wall also makes a good impression on me.

... no pun intended.

It's hard to tell what's happening in that sequence, unfortunately—it looks kind of like Scooby is juggling Scrappy. I'm also not sold on the ones of the whole crew, because as I recall, the whole crew was pretty annoying in the live action movie. So maybe the caged one works best.

I saw that movie a long time ago, but am I correct in remembering a scene where they toss Scrappy out on the side of the road and drive away?

Sadly the toss part, it was only focused on Scrappy.

Sadly the punch is hard to do, since yeah, Scooby just kinda "flicks" him towards the background.

I thought the Mystery Inc. pic works because their faces show annoyance and disgust, but the caged Scrappy is also good.

Actually I am partial to Scrappy flattened in the background with Scooby smiling to the audience

Yeah, me too. How would it look, like this?

I don't know about the caption, though a scene like that is begging for a witty retort to Scrappy Doo's Catchphrase ("Lemme at 'em, I'll splat 'em!").

You can't tell at all that Scooby's the one who hit him.

I can. But maybe others can't.

For all I know, Scooby reached out to give Scrappy a high-five, and someone else slammed him into the wall.
