Oh no, run!
Still from the Simpsons season 7 episode, "Radioactive Man." Bart (with his back to us) delivers the line from Richard III, "Now is the winter of our discontent," to Nelson, Ralph, Lewis, and Wendell. Ralph shouts, "Oh no, run!" and runs away.

A pretty easy one, but slightly trickier to stick to a theme

Roger Moore as James Bond from a movie whose title is related to the terminological discussion in the original post. He's in a white tuxedo with one hand holding two rolls of bills and his eyebrows raised.

Well this is sure to help with my crippling perfectionism. (And, fittingly, deleted and reposted because of a typo in the alt text.)

Side view of Jeffrey Maier reaching over the wall from the stands with his baseball glove and stealing the ball from Orioles outfielder Tony Tarasco. The ball is clearly below the wall and Tarasco has a chance to make the catch. It's not clear what is going to happen, but in a million years you would never think that this would be ruled a home run.

I like that he picked an Arsenal player in this hypothetical, because he certainly had other options.
Iconic picture of Jürgen Klinsmann "diving" to celebrate a goal for Spurs: arms outstretched, fully horizontal about a foot off the ground, blond hair streaming back, his mouth open in a victorious yell.

We've got to put a stop to this!
George Washington on a white horse leads other mounted officers reviewing troops mustered to suppress the rural Pennsylvania communities producers protesting unfair taxation of whiskey in 1794. Washington and his fellow officers are in the foreground, with lines of troops on a wide plain in the middle ground, and snow-dusted mountains forming the background.
