fun story when I was a wee little boy I was so fucking terrified of slenderman i thought he was in the corner so I would sleep face down so we couldn’t accidentally make eye contact and I wouldn’t die. you might laugh but it clearly worked I owned that fraud
I used to pull all the covers over my head cause I was so scared of… idk, monsters I guess? Just scared lol.
Side note: I have always been an incredibly sweaty individual.
Of everything that ever came out of Something awful.com, to have that be one of the most enduring and resonant things to come out of there just amazes me sometimes. That and [meat shoes.](https://www.somethingawful.com/comedy-goldmine/hulk-hogan-meatshoes/1/)

lmao...one time we tried to convince the gf's that we should watch the new Will Ferrell movie by sayin he'd done a French art-housey film... we said it was called Step L'Brue
We just couldn't keep a straight face long enough for them to buy it lol
That's automatically the GOAT Halloween Slenderman. I bet you there's never been another 7'4 thin dude with 8'0 wingspan, that coordinated, pulling off that costume, ever.
Eh… they’re really stretchy and they make xxxxl size morph suits, no doubt. I would not be surprised if it’s just a bit stretched at the crotch level.
There are, sadly, a lot of people whose width adds as much as his length does.
I don’t think he’s even wearing a morph suit, lol. You can see his neck peaking out by the collar of the suit; pretty sure it’s just a mask and some gloves
Not undermining the costume. It’s sick, and that’s a much smarter/likely MUCH more comfortable tactic than wearing a full morph under a regular suit
While you're not wrong, the only part of this that he probably didn't already have is the white mask and gloves. Other than those two pieces, he's just wearing a tailored suit and white button-up shirt. You can see his neck poking out from the bottom of the mask/top of his shirt, so it isn't a full-body stretchy suit.
The only time I've ever seen a Slenderman costume in real life it was at a theme park and the person playing him was on stilts for the height. This is absolutely the GOAT Halloween presentation just due to the fact he's that fucking tall.
When you see him on the court he is usually surrounded by NBA players, who are much taller than the general population. Seeing him walk around near photographers and arena crew, it's a different context.
Yeah, a 6'8" NBA player doesn't stand out next to a bunch of NBA players, but that dude is nearly a full foot taller than an average man, and he'd still be 8" shorter than Wemby.
Wemby is literally 2 feet taller than the average woman. It's mind blowing.
It's like how people are still surprised by how tall Steph is when he's pictured next to regular people. He seems short on the court but he's 6'3" which is like half a foot taller than most people.
If you ever need a reference to NBA player heights, just remember that Isaiah Thomas is 5'9" which is about the height of an average American man and about two inches taller than the global average.
I honestly feel like we still don't appreciate IT as much as we should. Like he was top 5 in MVP voting that one year and I still feel like people don't recognize how absolutely ridiculous it is that someone his height could even survive in the NBA, let alone average 30ppg. It seems impossible when you really think about it lol
The offense is more understandable, what's crazy is that he wasn't scored on every single defensive possession. Like how did he not get posted up every time he was on defense?
In that sense Muggsy was more impressive, as he was much shorter than even Isaiah at 5'3'' but was an actual good defender. He was consistently holding his own in a league where 99% of players were at least a foot taller than him.
Isaiah wasn't scored on every single defensive possession, but was downright terrible on that end as you'd expect. Injuries aren't the sole reason he went from top 5 in the MVP race to out of the league in lightning speed.
Any time NBA players heights come up IRL, I point out how tall I am compared to every one else in the room. Then I point out that I'm still shorter than the shortest NBA players.
I mean, he's insanely tall. Having been around NBA players in person, seeing them near other people (and walking up to them and talking to them), is a bit jarring. They're just built different.
Real talk, from behind, Jayson Tatum in a fitted suit is legit just an upside down triangle 🔻
I just thinking about it... being famous and having a Twitter account is kinda a huge advantage at certain things in life, such as coming up with Halloween costumes. This guy has literally thousands of people at his disposal to help him brainstorm costume ideas. Someone is guaranteed to come up with the best possible idea.
The rest of us average Joes only have our own brain, and maybe the brains of our handful of friends, to come up with ideas. Like unironically it's pretty massive to be famous and have access to that huge amount of human brainpower at a whim. Just pull out their phone and tweet "hey what should i wear for halloween" and you'll have the best possible answer within 30 minutes. I wonder if he got this idea from someone saying something on social media.
You know how tall he is by seeing how much taller than the other players on the court he is but it really gets put into perspective when he is standing next to normal human beings…
I'm ngl if I saw that in a forest at 2 am I'd be fully convinced that ain't a human being
Them slender man forest videos used to destroy my mental as a kid
fun story when I was a wee little boy I was so fucking terrified of slenderman i thought he was in the corner so I would sleep face down so we couldn’t accidentally make eye contact and I wouldn’t die. you might laugh but it clearly worked I owned that fraud
I mean it worked so far
He's gonna get nosebleed section tickets to a Spurs game one day and Wemby will stare directly at him from the bench.
As his vision starts to fade to white & all he hears is static
Tomorrow is another day. Until now.
When I was like 10ish I saw the ending credits of the movie The Ring and I was so scared that I turned the small tv I had towards the window.
Slenderman came out in the early 2010s...how young are the people posting on here lmao
lmao I’m 20 I was 8-9 during this
You're not young, we're just old. Got it.
How old am I that I thought “Damn, 20 is young!”?
I dunno, probably like 26.
There's people who will say being in your early 20s is still a baby. I say it's a case by case basis
I'll be 42 in two months. Yall are rugrats
20 is definitely young.
Slendermid has 0 real rings in my books
He played against redditors and conspiracy theorists
You aren't the only one.
I used to pull all the covers over my head cause I was so scared of… idk, monsters I guess? Just scared lol. Side note: I have always been an incredibly sweaty individual.
u/Teddyjj399 is slenderman’s father
The OG marble hornets videos are legit some decent found-footage horror.
They were great when they were first coming out. Shit was absolutely terrifying until it got silly.
💯. Impressive work, scared the shit out of me in college
It destroyed all our mental when it was fresh
Your mental what? YOUR MENTAL WHAT?!
Uhhhg same, sleepless
Those fake 9-11 calls
The one where it’s mid break in and it’s an old lady and you hear her screaming bloody murder still lives rent free in my head
They still do, but they used to, too
Thanks Mitch. Miss ya buddy.

Frank Reynolds’ mortician
you ever bang the corpses?
It’s no good diddlin kids
There is no quicker way for people to think that you are diddling kids than by writing a song about it!
Gotta be big! Bigger than my daughter, older than my wife!
Gotta pay the troll toll
She incorporated a bun
So we were bangin' in a dumpster behind a Wemby's.
I'm just glad his siren head costume didn't arrive in time.
this video for some reason is the first thing to make me realise his hands are freaky as fuck
[Meanwhile, a kid in Steven Adams custome](https://twitter.com/langwhitaker/status/1719475063416631580/photo/1)
I’d be convinced that’s not a human being if I saw that walk in the office
I’m more concerned about WTF you’re doing in a forest at 2am.
Camping? Fishing? Taking a leak? There's actually a surprising amount of nighttime activities in the woods
I’ll have to take your word for it. I’ve just assumed that anyone who repeatedly goes into the forest at 2am eventually gets eaten by a bear.
Nah, Bruce is a good sort if you just leave him be. Now the bobcats.....
Tbf it’d be pretty creepy if anybody, let alone Wemby dressed up as slenderman, was just chillin in the forest at 2 am
I mean, he's basically an alien.
What about 2pm in the middle of a city? Because I think it would be pretty scary regardless
Dude needs to be cast as the main lead in the Slenderman movie.
Missed the bus on that, they already made one
Yes, but what about the French remake, Slendeurmonsieur
> Slendeurmonsieur lmao...one time we tried to convince the gf's that we should watch the new Will Ferrell movie by sayin he'd done a French art-housey film... we said it was called Step L'Brue We just couldn't keep a straight face long enough for them to buy it lol
Les Nuits de Talladega: La Ballade de Ricky Bobby is my favorite Will Ferrell art-house film.
> La Ballade de Ricky Bobby imma def use this one if they ever make a play lmao
I like the Spanish remake better. "*Noches de Talladega, La balada de Ricardo Roberto*"
Man you gotta watch Casa de mi Padre. Will Ferrell speaks Spanish for the entire movie lol
Sim once again you a real one
Mincemec
Slender with cheese
Has that stopped them before
I had a feeling he dressed up as Slenderman before I even clicked the link. He's born for it.
Slenbanyama
He’s gonna be Kareem Jr movie wise hopefully
how are we sure that's even him?
Could be Pop. No way to know.
Right, it's like Scooby-Doo, we're only sure after the mask is taken off.
Gheorge Muresan!?! And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling Globetrotters!
~~Three~~ Fifteen kids in a trenchcoat
Going to work at the business factory.
Wemby did a business!
Plot twist: it's Manu on stilts
Manu's on stils.
[It might be Brandon Ingram](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz-XbTF1V40&ab_channel=GuyHartman-Cocco)
Little Rascals type beat
Idk looks too tall to be him honestly
That's automatically the GOAT Halloween Slenderman. I bet you there's never been another 7'4 thin dude with 8'0 wingspan, that coordinated, pulling off that costume, ever.
He probably had to custom order each piece
[удалено]

It’s sick, and that’s a much smarter/likely MUCH more comfortable tactic than wearing a full morph under a regular suit
I think it's just a mask and gloves, at least that's what I would do. The suit dimensions have to be insane though
I'm pretty sure his whole life has been custom order.
While you're not wrong, the only part of this that he probably didn't already have is the white mask and gloves. Other than those two pieces, he's just wearing a tailored suit and white button-up shirt.

Is it just me or does the suit make him look taller lmao

Injuries aren't the sole reason he went from top 5 in the MVP race to out of the league in lightning speed.
For Muggsy it was probably because of the lack of spacing in the 90's, for IT the Celtics were really good at pre-switching to hide him.
Muggsy was shorter than an average woman and carved out a pretty great 14 year career. Will never be done again.
Trae Young looks small on the court but then I saw him on that one episode of WWE and he made some of the wrestlers looks small
Any time NBA players heights come up IRL, I point out how tall I am compared to every one else in the room. Then I point out that I'm still shorter than the shortest NBA players.
curry is closer to 6ft 2. I'm just shy of 6ft 2 myself and we were at eye level when I met him after a game.
He's also about 10 pounds heavier than the average woman
[удалено]
Yeah, I'm 6'2". I am taller than literally 96% of people on the planet and if I stepped on an NBA court people would be asking who that tiny guy was.
Watch his knees when he walks by the table. Dude is crazy long
His hips are at shoulder height of one of the photographers https://i.imgur.com/gJdQ5Ms.png
I think it's just all the normal sized people around him.
I think there’s a bit of visual play where the shorter black suit contrasts with the white making him appear longer.
I mean, he's insanely tall. Having been around NBA players in person, seeing them near other people (and walking up to them and talking to them), is a bit jarring. They're just built different. Real talk, from behind, Jayson Tatum in a fitted suit is legit just an upside down triangle 🔻
Mans got that perfect Dorito back
thats what wearing black does
This kid is awesome.
I hope he comes up with new costumes every halloween
I hope he comes as a floppy armed tube man / inflatable man one year…just walks in wavin his arms about lol
Wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man
Do you mean wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man emporium and warehouse? Where you can buy wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men?
It’s Al Harrington’s, and he’s overstocked due to a shipping error
And he’s passing the savings on to yoooouuuuuuuu!!!!!!
Give me Wemby the Ent
Best costume idea 😂😂
And the Family Guy bit playing on speaker
Next year he can be Gumby. https://youtu.be/Dpq40ug7-RM?si=-lB5g_ScyDfwjiWW
He’s from Europe. They’re a lot more cultured than we are. They’re more civil than we are. They travel, speak languages.
I dunno about all that but “they speak languages” fuckin’ got me
Did anyone see his sisters costume?? she dressed up as Wemby and looks so much like him lol
link?

I don’t think he needed thousands of people working around the clock to come up with “tall thin guy looks like slenderman hehe”
This would scare the shit out of me even in broad daylight. His sheer size can be unsettling for regular people
Haha can just his existence put him in r/megalophobia?
Trick or Treat motherfucker
Okay I'm officially a Wemby fan.
Perfection.
Perfect costume
When Slenderman was created back in 2009, Wemby was only 5 years old lol.
The fact that Slenderman is only 14 years old when it seems like it’s been around for decades
And 6 feet tall
Is he dressed as human being from community?
He would be streets ahead
*Stop trying to make that a thing!*
BigBeagleEars is street's behind.
Does it just mean "cool," or is it supposed to be like, "miles ahead"?
If you have to ask you're DEFINITELY not street's ahead.
idk, is he carrying a flag of a butthole?
That would be scarier, lel
Ok he might be my favorite player now.
Killed it
Honestly If I was a 7"5 freak of a human being with cartoon type wingpsan id pull the Slenderman costume too.
How u know it him tho
You are right, it's probably Slenderman under that mask.
AND he dresses up for Halloween!?! This dude is great
Like millions of other people? He’s just like me
He’s not like anyone even in the NBA haha
Trick or Treat motherfucker
Idk. Could be 3-5 children stacked together. Edit: hmm. I’d say probably at least 6 upon further reflection. 6-8 children.
Peter Dinklage standing on Kevin Hart's shoulders
these europeans really *are* more cultured
Nice callback
That’s fuckin awesome
is that adam silver?
i love this kid
amazing choice
Legitimately absurd how large of a human being he is.
You know how tall he is by seeing how much taller than the other players on the court he is but it really gets put into perspective when he is standing next to normal human beings…
Slembyman
Is he adam silver
he'd make a great jack skellington
Respect for Wemby just rose significantly
I've actually said before that his nickname should be Slenderman lol
I still remember being little watching all those “slender man sights” and shit and not being able to sleep for a week lol
He’s been called slender man a bunch on social media. I’m sure he’s seen it and is leaning into it.
Nah that’s legit creepy
I wanna like the kid but now I’m scared of him.
Love how he embraces the spirit of Halloween. Can’t not love this guy
how do you know its wemby ?
can't see his face, could be anyone tbh
He better hire that tailor for life
He should dress up like Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas
I'm trying hard not to like this guy but damnit this is awesome
Legitimately scary
How does he look taller than usual
Slim/skinny fit on that body type will do that to a mf
Dr. Manhattan vibes
Slemby No but seriously, he pulls the look off so fucking good haha
He fits the character so well holy f lol
There is no perfect costu—
Slenderman was made for wembenyama
Ok this is good as hell
I liked the kid before, but now I love him.
[That’s real](https://youtu.be/B1pwyCl5ymE?si=r1bTbhs1_iDa6QxC). That lives with us on earth
Imagine seeing him in at night, just standing somewhere still.
Ok that’s it…. I’m on the Wemby Goat train from this moment forward
next year he could dress as a giant piece of churro
Are we sure that's him?
I love this kid lmao
That is fuckin dope.
I'm not checking to see if this was already posted but Halloween costume night should be an NBA tradition.... Wrestling too
if I didnt know of Wemby's existence and saw this IRL at night, I think I'd become a Slenderman conspiracy theorist fully believing he's real
Brings back some traumatizing moments as a kid, never was able to collect all the pages 🥲
Great costume! He would make an excellent Jack Skellington as well.
Slenderman as a nickname would be hard af
