| | Abbey Road One of the more memorable Beatles album covers. Frequently used for head swaps or complete body replacements if the shop subject is walking in profile. Abbey Road has been called the most recognized crosswalk in the world. The street has been repainted since the photo was taken and it's current day appearance is somewhat different |
| | Abu Ghraib In April of 2004, the CBS news program 60 Minutes II broadcast photographs of U. S. Army Spc. Lynndie England mocking and mistreating prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison. The photos caused an immediate scandal which eventually resulted in some military court marshals. Two of the photos most commonly used as clichés are one of a hooded prisoner standing on a box and England with a cigarette in her mouth pointing at a prisoner's groin. |
| | Admiral Ackbar This fictional alien is a character from the Star Wars movies and novels. There's lots more about him on Wikipedia. Normal usage of him as a cliché includes using the phrase "It's a trap!" or something that rhymes with the word "trap." |
| "All your base..." - See Zero Wing | |
| | American Gothic This painting by Grant Wood is one of the most famous paintings of American art. Painted in 1930 and sold for $300, it seems to satirize the narrow-mindedness and conservative nature of rural America, although the artist denied the accusation. The cottage in the background was located in Eldon, Iowa and the people are the artist's sister and his dentist. As a cliché, the painting is frequently used for head pastes. Thanks to Khabi715 for the suggestion. |
| Apple Girl - See Feiss, Ellen | |
| | Attention Whore This gal doing a handstand on the beach makes an occasional appearance, enough to say she's a cliché anyway. Thanks to vwfst55 for the suggestion. Here's a photoshopped 'O' without the text thanks to Brian O'Blivion. BTW, she is officially considered NSFW on Fark.com if you don't cover up her backside. |
