Just "Rio" is fine!

I'm concerned that the image on this page won't make any sense to someone who hasn't seen "The Giggle"; even as someone who has, I still think it's a weak image. The scene this still comes from has some even sillier-looking shots than the one that was chosen.

Well, here we go again!
The image was also added without discussion. Should I send an image changes notifier?

I'd suggest using this thread to discuss Moment pics.

A closer crop is needed but the silliness of the moment does come across.

[up][up]My argument is that, without context, it comes across as JAFAAC (which, in hindsight, I probably should have picked for the title).

Remember that discussion isn't necessary to add pictures to pages with no previous images; it's just recommended in some instances. As someone not familiar with the show, I think the body language and outfit are silly enough; it just needs a crop:

Yeah calling this JAFAAC is very confusing to me what with the pose and all.

I tried to find other stills from the scene to replace it (for example, the shot where the Toymaker first appears with a burst of confetti), but in every instance the action was either too blurred or the subject was too far away. So, based on the arguments presented, we could Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

[down]Agreed, it frames the subjects a lot better.

The crop in 6 is pretty goofy.

Should we also address how the original image was added without discussion, or is this nothing to worry about?

[down]Okay, thanks.

If a page has never been discussed in IP before, discussion before adding an image is recommended but not required.

The crop in 6 works for me.

This is at the clocking point and the POV in the thread is that 6 is more or less fine, so it's in and tagged. I kept the caption but culled the link to the other Funny/ page since it doesn't really make sense to non-fans and is rather dependent on that page staying alive.
