Besides being very boring, it also overlaps with Obviously Evil and Show, Don't Tell.

The image is basically just a guy flipping someone off. Without the caption, it doesn't really tell us anything.

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

I can take or leave the current...don't think it's bad enough to pull without a replacement.

Current's fine, though I did replace it with a higher-res version.

Keep. The Lampshade Hanging is arguably the most important part, as it is difficult to establish the necessary context with images alone.

Pull.

The imagery adds little to illustrating the trope.

Pull. Make room for an actual illustration of the trope.

[up][up]That sounds more like an Obvious Judas.

The Un-Twist is supposed to be a subverted twist (an expected twist that never ends up happening). The "twist" still happens there.

And now that I mention it, maybe the current page image is not that illustrative either. In fact, this seems impossible to illustrate, since it requires audience expectation that a different twist will happen.

Is this a "no pic" scenario, then?

The clock's up and the consensus is to keep the current for now. I've tagged the page; locking up.
