Compensating for Something was recently cleaned up to make it an in-universe only trope and remove all of the instances of tropers just speculating and/or making bad jokes. The current image is of that exact example variety and needs to go. To quote a troper's comment about the image from the trope's discussion page, "It looks more like an old radio antenna than anything else. But nobody's saying the guy was compensating for the bad reception he got from his radio/tv/soundblaster, do they?". I don't have any ideas for a replacement image right now but if I find any I'll let you all know.

Edit: What about this◊ image from Family Guy? I just got it from a quick Google search and it's not a very high quality image. Can anyone find a better version of that image?

I like that image, but I couldn't find a better quality one. Both of my main sources for Family Guy screencaps just happen to be missing that particular episode ("And the Weiner Is...").

Motion to pull

Not a true demonstration of the trope; re-definition means we need an in-universe example of this.

Seconded. The Family Guy pic seems pretty perfect of this.

Thirding the pull and seconding the Family Guy pic.

Another vote for the pull.

Use any of those.

Subtle.

It's bad to say "cut" or "pulled" in this case, so I'll just leave the pic here. Codpiece is great...would it be possible to pair one of the pre-gun scenes with one of the action pics, or would that be overkill?

Because any example from that comic would be overdoing it, more reason to use a panel from it. Blatant is much better than subtle and barely needs subtext to explain it.

Clock is set. We need to stop dicking around with this one and come to a decision. I still like the Codpiece pics...any one in particular?

The cover — where he's proclaiming "Codpiece is HERE!"

How's this?

Caption: "I think I'm supposed to be impressed, but ... I can't stop laughing."

Not bad...prefer mine.

"Nothing can stop the power of Codpiece!"◊

As hilarious as that boxing glove on a spring is, I think the above pic is the clearest.

Anyway, captions. Uh....

I like the silhouette.

No that was a suggestion for a caption to the image in post 14, and a pothole to show it's a quote from the work.

I still like it.

Duly noted.

Wow, I was going to suggest Iceland and the Penis Museum from Scandinavia And The World, but that Codpiece guy is hilariously perfect.

Support either 14 or the top panel of 19.

We sure it isn't NSFW to use something that blatantly resembling a penis?

To be Not Safe for Work, it would have to resemble a naked penis.

NSFW means apparently pornographic or gory.
