Red Boxing Gloves is interesting, since it's said in the description to enhance comedy and Slapstick (which is true) but a lot of the examples are just "red boxing gloves exist", and most of the examples listed in the original YKTTW are that as well. Am I missing something here? "Comically oversized red boxing gloves" definitely feels like a trope but it conflicts with the actual trope seeming to combine multiple different concepts that aren't incorporated. Thoughts?

I remember needing to take this one to Image Pickin' because the original image was Strong Bad (who has the gloves as his design but doesn't use them for anything). It dropped off my radar after that, but I agree it may need TRS.

The description is a complete mess. As is, I don't see this as anything other than chairs.

There may be a trope in "boxing gloves used for slapstick" (sometimes springing out of a box or telescoping from a camera, i.e. not even worn by people), but if so, it would require a complete retool.
