The trope refers to Video Review Shows that frequently interrupt their reviews for (usually humorous) sketches. The image can thus be inferred as representing a sketch, but it doesn't indicate any sort of reviewing on its own. The caption does the entirety of the legwork here, which I feel is not the best approach.

I think taking an image of the review portion of an AVGN episode (or any other example) and coupling it with a sketch may be the best option here, somewhat similar to the image that's currently on Big-Lipped Alligator Moment.

I'd pull the current for quality problems; no ideas on a replacement.

Hmm...the only replacement idea I can think of is if we see a reviewer holding up the game/DVD/whatever they're reviewing, followed by an image from a sketch.

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

[up] I’d like if there was a third panel using a screenshot from after the sketch, in order to emphasize the “mid-review” part.

jandn2014: Despite the trope name, I'm pretty sure it still counts if the sketch is at the beginning or end of the review. [tup]7

The clock's up and the only thing that has solid consensus is to pull the current, so that's done and the page is tagged. Locking up.
