New trope. Couple of suggestions from Screwball Squirrel.

Either the second or third can work.

Wait, so this is identical to the trope Screwy Squirrel except that it actually has to be a squirrel this time? That's... pretty confusing actually.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Doesn't that make this one redundant?

Screwy Squirrel is going to be cut (I'm against it, but whatever).

1.2 or 1.3 are pretty good.

1.1 = 1.4 > 1.2 = 1.3; the first and last get the "screwball" part across better.

I'll go with 1.1.

Here's the thread that led to cutting Screwy Squirrel and creating this new trope.

1.1

And yeah, Screwy Squirrel is getting cut, so this is not an issue.

1.4.

1.2 and 1.3 capture the "troublemaking" aspect of the trope, whereas 1.1, 1.4 and Scrat represent the "crazy" aspect better.

The trope is about characters playing tricks and/or being crazy, not about Itchy And Scratchy kind of violence. So 1.2 and 1.3 would fit better on a different trope.

The Scrat picture lacks context, it looks like he's just happy to have found food (come to think of it, Scrat's entire motive is getting food; he doesn't play tricks on anyone).

I prefer 1.1, but 1.4 could also work.

I would say 1.2 qualifies as troublemaker as well.

Let's roll with 1.1 or 1.4 then. Do these scenes make sense in context, or are they just random insanity?

Now that I think about it, perhaps 1.1 works best.

Any more opinions? Is a crowner needed?
