This is an extreme case of JAFAAC: There's no indication at all in either of the images that it's an example of this trope. The first image is some guy watching TV, and the second image is two people with a shiny thing in the background.

Agreement.

Motion to pull image.

Caption does all of the work due to poor images. Both still require knowledge of the shows in question.

I'm more concerned that it's not an In-Universe example of the trope.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

Well, I see it's already been pulled...any thoughts on a replacement, or should we just leave it be?

I could've sworn this trope's original image was a panel of Star Trek at a Doctor Who convention above a panel of Doctor Who at a Star Trek convention

Always think outside the box. Because the box is full of scorpions.

I think that a few panels from this strip could demonstrate it well: http://xkcd.com/372/

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Posting pulled image on the thread, because it's good form to:

Top: In Doctor Who, the Tenth Doctor watches EastEnders. Bottom: in EastEnders, Bradley and Stacey attend a Doctor Who convention.

I think the XKCD comic gets as darn close as you can get to illustrating such a nebulous trope.

Get a slant at this glossary of Pulp Detective terms. It rates. Pipe that?

I'm fine with the xkcd as well.

Good enough. The pic is up, potholed, and tagged; caption or no?

I know I'm late to the discussion, but how about trimming the top panel off of the XKCD pic? Just the last two get the point across fine.
