I think we've had this thread before.

Fight smart, not fair.I'm with the OP. Seriously, how does the image add anything to the article? It only repeats the page title again. And the page title is on the page. Heck, you could make this in a quote and not loose anything. As the OP said, this is not about the meme, and being the trope namer does not make it a good image.

It says it was created by Something Awful in 2002. It doesn't seem to indicate that the image in question is from an actual comic book.
I agree that the image is kinda pointless. It adds absolutely nothing, and doesn't really illustrate the trope anyway. Just because it's a meme doesn't mean that it needs to be on the page. Neither does the fact that it's the trope namer.
Reaction Image RepositoryTimes like this that I wish I had X Men Evolution to watch. Everyone had an episode dealing with learning to use and control their new-found powers at one point or another. Rogue especially, since she's prone to a Super-Power Meltdown if she absorbs too many powers and memories. She has to learn how to use them though.

Well, the image fits fine, especially due to Rule of Funny. And it IS him asking how to shot web (even if it doesn't happen in the comics but still).
But the image displays the trope namer, and unless you're completely dense, I'd say it also infers the trope's meaning pretty effectively. Rule of Funny and classic memes do deserve a small amount of spotlight too.

Maybe of something that, I don't know, shows what the trope is? I mean the trope isn't about the meme people, come on.
Do you remember where we all came from? Do you remember what it's all about?
