Caption Discussion/Repair Thread:

Go To

This is the thread to use if you feel that the page image itself is good but the caption needs help.

If you think that both the image and the caption are poor, please make a thread in Image Pickin' for the page, and we'll work on the image and caption both at the same time.

As with other TRS and IP threads, please state your reasons and make your case in your first post. Don't make the other posters spend time trying to pry it out of you.

Called the crowner for the caption for Non-Natural Number Gag, and put the winner on the page.

Maybe replace the Rocky caption with this tagline?

The caption on Gruesome Grandparent doesn't really hit the same if you don't know who Butters is, even though it does link to his character page.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

[up] It's weak, but I wouldn't pull without a replacement. It's not quite Fan Myopia since it is at least saying that his parents are worse rather than assuming you already know that.

Writing Around Trademarks' caption was changed without discussion. The previous one was selected by thread.

Originally, the caption for Use Their Own Weapon Against Them used Drop The Hammer as a pothole, but since the trope was disambiguated, the caption was changed to use Carry a Big Stick in its place. It's a lot more awkward when reading it that way, I feel, so I'm proposing this modification:

Put that hammer down, Shadow! ...No, not like that.

[up]That seems like a logical change.

Cool, new caption has been put in, and I also upgraded the image to meet the new size standards + higher quality scan.

Not too big on the caption for J. R. R. Tolkien, as it relies too heavily on knowledge of Epic Rap Battles of History. May I suggest this quote from him instead?

"After all, I believe that legends and myths are largely made of 'truth'."
