Just a Face and a Caption: Hand Puppet Mockery

It was agreed that this image doesn't make it clear that this hand puppet is supposed to be mocking another character.

I'm not exactly sure if this◊ will count...Jeff Dunham's puppet on his right has his own puppet of Dunham to mock him, while Dunham has another version of that first puppet to mock him in the same manner. It's very meta and I don't know if the trope's meant to go that far.

I don't really see the mocking in that.

Yeah, it would need an explanatory caption.

Does the music video caption make it clear enough that this is a puppet mocking the real Jennifer Lopez?

I think that's about as good as we're going to get.

Good enough.

How about God mocking Satan in Sinfest?

5. It's obviously unflattering, with very little text needed as explanation.

EDIT (after TheUnsquished replied): 9 is also good. I'm fine with either.

9 is clearer on the mockery, for people who don't know who Cartman is. It can be done with just its first panel, if people prefer.

9.

I prefer 9

Crowner? (I admit I slightly prefer 9, but also I'm a little sick of Sinfest images, plus it's texty. My main issue with the South Park one I proposed is that people might not know J-Lo is a real person.)

EDIT: Made the crowner myself, hollering to hook.

Got it, thanks.

Votes bump; three are in the green but none are in consensus range.

I added a "no pic for now" option to the crowner...should've thought to do that when I hooked it.

Votes bump; two in the green right now, one in consensus range.

We have to talk about the image on Copycat Mockery which actually illustrates the more specific Hand Puppet Mockery and could be a contender here in the crowner.

That wouldn't be bad if we can find an alternate image to Copycat Mockery.

Copycat Mockery could be OK without an image.

Alternative ideas for Copycat Mockery, though I admit neither are really that good:

• Something from this scene in A Charlie Brown Christmas (timestamp: 0:20 - 0:31). Maybe show the image of Snoopy mocking Lucy, then show her negative reaction to him, similar to the current comic layout?
• Panel 10 and/or 11◊ from Calvin and Hobbes (though I vaguely remember this being used elsewhere on the wiki, I can't find it right now...it's not a great image but it's the best I can imagine right now)
• Something from this video...not sure how to arrange that either.

Probably deserves its own thread.
