TV Tropes, I hate you so much....

That's pretty good, for MS Paint.

Ridiculously out of proportion and slightly scary, but given the tools used...

Bullshit. Mona Lisa in MS Paint.

Wow, did you see the cheeto Velvis? Proof that a skilled artist can make the most of any medium.

Given most things drawn in MS Paint look like the finger paintings of a three year old on LSD, you haven't actually refuted my point.

I was just going to say that! The portrait in vegemite on toast was pretty impressive too. Actually, they're all pretty good.

MS Paint is not a powerful tool. Neither are coloured pencils. Yet there is some amazing coloured pencil art out there. Paint's limited abilities (not much beyond coloured pencils) aren't the problem, the problem is that it lets everyone easily make & post images. Most people who are serious about art get something more powerful, leaving the shitty artists on MS Paint.

I've done one or two surprisingly decent drawings on MS Paint.

Yep. It's all about how good the artist is.
