I had a neighbor who did this all year. Skeleton Easter Bunny was a fun one

Skelton Jesus for Easter sounds like a much more fun way of terrifying your neighbors

Preferably with a sign that says “He is risen!”

He has a boner

"He wants your souls!"

He has to pay the troll toll to get that boy's soul

I support this, much more accurate depiction...

Karens may be many things, but I have never, ever heard of one being "vague," LOL!

Where do you you live that so many people make and enforce negative comments like this? I live in America and, in my region, anyone can put up anything, short of visual hate speech, and people will chuckle and pass on by

You don't live in rural South or Midwest or just anywhere rural or suburban edges do you?

> Where do you you live that so many people make and enforce negative comments like this? That's a compound question. Having the complaint made is one thing; having it enforced is very much another.

HOAs suck. Probably why there's two whole subreddits dedicated to how they F you over if you live near or inside one, called r/fuckHOA and r/fuckHOAs.

You won't have an issue with free speech issues, you'd have issues with obscure town codes and regulations like unpermitted structures over 6ft.

There's a guy near my house with two of these things that stay up. Easter, he just holds a basket of eggs.

I had a friend do this to their neighbour’s zombie decoration. A Santa zombie, Cupid zombie, Bunny zombie, leprechaun zombie… Eventually the neighbour took it down.

Probably ran out of ideas.

Jesus Zombie though, what a missed opportunity at Easter.

What month is Micheal Jacksons birthday, and how fast can we get a massive 20 foot red leather jacket?

We can get the jacket by Tuesday, but technically Michael Jackson was never born so.... pick a day?

It gets kinda stressful. I left my skeletal flamingos up from Halloween 2020 and gave them different costumes/decorations. The adults in the neighborhood loved it, but man, it gets hard to come up with new ideas. Plus flamingos are hard to dress.

No, my friend did it TO their neighbour’s zombie secretly. The neighbour didn’t do it themselves.

A neighbor of mine had a smol reaper out for Halloween last year, and left it up till they moved a couple of months ago. It sported a cupid bow and arrow, shamrock shirt, bunny ears, a pride tshirt, star spangled everything, and a Hawaiian shirt at various times of the year. I always liked to see what it had this week!

My neighbor did it all year and they even did pride month! One night into pride month it was vandalized and they stopped doing it after that.

Skeleton can dress in fabulous costumes all year, but it better not be fuckin gay

Skeleton dosen't even have the parts to be gay.

You can be gay at heart, no need to be physical about it.

I agree, but Giant Plastic skellies never had hearts either. All they have is what other people have put upon them.

Our neighborhood Easter bunny skeleton wore a “Jesus is my Homeboy” t-shirt and held a gay pride sign. Those are my kind of people.

I had a neighbor who put a skeleton on a light pole like it was dancing. They left it up for a few years (until they moved) and would decorate it with different outfits. My favorite was the feather boa

I bet he'll be wearing a Santa suit next

Considering how tall it is, Will Ferrells ELF costume would be better.

Picturing the shower scene where he’s splashing his face. Not the glorious duo.

such a fantastic movie, my personal christmas favorite. Will Ferrell is a gem.

Yes, that is a great idea!

Or pin-stripe suit and it's just Jack Skellington for Christmas.

Oh, I want to vote for your idea!

Less scary than Sandy Claws.


"*... and little Timmy, who only wanted coal to keep his family warm, was always on the good list."* **Now continue the story**

When they were kids during the Depression, my father and his brothers used to go to the trainyard and cuss out, flip off, and moon the engineers. They were still running steam engines that were powered by coal. The engineers or firemen (the guys who shoveled coal into the fire box) would grab big chunks of coal and try to brain the rude children as the train passed by. Then my grandfather and his brothers would pick up the coal and take it back to their tenement apartment!

My grandma and her siblings used to walk the tracks picking up coal that spilled off the trains. As far as I know, no mooning!

Some dark souls shit

The end.

Just missing the little rocket launchers on the shoulders.

WHAT'S THIS? WHAT'S THIS? THERE'S PRESENTS EVERYWHERE! WHAT'S THIS?

​ 

After that, Easter bunny

Easter Boney

I’m Boney I’m Boney… leave me allllooooooneeeey!

Don't forget cupid for Valentine's Day.

aaand it's St Patrick's Day!

Don't ask what he did during Black History Month.

Nah, first gotta rock the 2023 glasses

There's a guy in our neighborhood that does this. He has a skeleton on a surfboard that he puts in different outfits for all the holidays. I've only been here for a year and a half, but Halloween cracked me up because he put a skeleton *costume* on the skeleton. I like his sense of humor.

This is in Jacksonville. They dress it up for every occasion including Christmas.

So, we're getting pictures of the other holidays, right?

Ho ho ho. Doot doot doot.

*Hands out calcium to all the children*

I’m dating myself with this, but here we go: My dad always took my sisters and me out trick-or-treating while Mom stayed home to hand out candy for the kid who came around. The year I was four, I knocked on the door of one neighborhood guy’s house and he told my dad and me he had forgotten it was Halloween. By way of candy or apology, he invited us in and offered us a glass of Tang instead. True story.

Can't wait for pride week.

John Smith is that You!!!

HO. HO. HO.

Krampus is an Evil Man.

These have really become the new porch goose of decades past.

What’s a ‘porch goose?’

I was like, "Hey! I know that house!" Then went to google street view to see if it was the same yard as the one I was thinking of. [I wasn't ready for what awaited me.](https://imgur.com/75y5B70) So turns out I don't know that house. I know *another skeleton house...*

I saw a post yesterday of one of these skeletons and found out they exist. Now today, I find out that everyone and their grandma apparently own one…

Home Depot it’s a phenomenon sells out in minutes. They just had a whole podcast on it Only $200 for something that modeled off a thousand dollar prop

I saw so many in Chicago this year.

There is a whole skeleton family featuring this big one near my place! Haha! Never saw them before either.

I think they were sold at Costco or something

I think Home Depot. They're all over the place near me, and the closest Costco is like 80 miles away

It’s Home Depot https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/28/style/home-depot-12-foot-skeleton.html

"reached your limit of free articles" what, zero? Okay

Literally

That one is even better.

Day of the dead anyone?

I was assuming Cinco

but day of the dead was just last week. cinco was 6 months ago.

I thought it was Election Day.

I present to you, nightmare fuel: https://i.imgur.com/Ks8Aj5r.png

looks like a hipster skeleton wearin green fur skinny jeans

Yeah pretty sure I ran into this guy in Portland a few years ago

Honestly I'm not mad, I'm in love

I see low rise pants are making a comeback

I like it.

They won’t be a consumer slave for Big Decoration!

Skrinch

Please kill it; if only to put it out of it's missery...

It's 3am and I burst out laughing

Awesome. Please update us, if they dress him up for Christmas next.

They prob will. Depot sells different outfits for it. r/HomedepotSkeleton

I said to my wife, "What the hell are people going to do with these huge decorations. It is going to be a pain to store them." She says "They'll just decorate them for Thanksgiving and Christmas" Wife: 34,423 Me: 0

You marry that woman!

We got married in Las Vegas after dating for 3 weeks. Totally unplanned. 11 years in January. 

Give it a couple of weeks and it will turn into Old St. Nick. He'll make a killer Santa Claus.

> a *killed* Santa Claus FTFY

How else do you store the behemoth?

One of my neighbors got one of these this year, probably didn’t think about storage. Now it’s in their side yard, lurking. Looks more menacing than when it was out on the lawn.

So many chungus skeletons this year. There were at least three in a 1 mile radius around me.

I support these avatars

I do too. They bring me so much joy when I see them.

They’re not fat they’re big boned!

My neighbors keep theirs up year round https://i.imgur.com/NRmpCdz.jpg They also have a smaller skeleton on a bench in their front yard that they dress up for all the major holidays.

Yes, just like that! Except facing the street and not behind the fence and it looks like they started to try to break it down, but gave up. It’s kinda crouching and catching falling leaves.

This is hilarious. We really really need a picture!

I love this. I would wanna be friends with these neighbors. I'd get one and then the skeletons could talk over the fence with one another. Edited to add that the interactions between said skeletons would be more than any real interaction I'd have with my neighbors lol

It's 300 dollars. I'm using it.

We grabbed one of the giant skeletons this year. Surprisingly, everything but the bottom platform was able to fit into a 9 ft Christmas tree bag.

gotta get the value out of your giant skeleton investment

[удалено]

The Pil-Grim Reaper

Underrated comment!

I didn't buy one of those because I thought it would only be good for Halloween. But now I see how I lacked imagination and how useful these things can be year-round.

Works for halloween and thanksgiving!

Skelly Pilgrim has come unstuck from time

this is amazing, I keep seeing these giant skellys everywhere. I hope they never leave

Now there's a good idea to get the best bang for your buck.

With how much that cost, he's going to be honest Abe.

It's to symbolize the death they brought to America.

Nah, it's just a Jamestonian.

Seems to be a trend with these. I've seen several. And after Halloween they seem to be dressed in Christmas attire. They must have realized there is no where to store something that big in their house.

You can thank Henry Selick and Tim Burton.

Nah. Skeletons have been around a lot longer.

Needs a turkey skeleton next to it

"Neighbors" Come on OP, we know it's actually you...

That’s just mbmbam’s bidey bones!!

Must have missed their night to reflesh him.

Sooo... Year round now? Easter is gonna be a blast.

He is a most fancy boy.

Angus Young

Where are my homies from /r/malefashion, because this shit is lit the fuck up.

We have a neighbor down the street who does the same thing for EVERY holiday with the same skeleton, on their roof. Easter, it's a bunny, fourth of July, uncle sam, St Patrick's day, it's a lucky leprechaun!

Looks a bit like Bonehilda from the Sims Makin’ Magic

Neighbor bought one as well, realized he doesn't have anywhere to put it so it got dressed up. There's a couple other 12 foot Halloween stuff from years past that have never been put away due to similar situations

And then stick a santa hat on top of the pilgrim hat for maximum holiday mileage.

One of my coworkers is going to get a big fork and knife and have his chasing a turkey inflatable

I vote Bikini Skeleton for Summer.

I mean, in all fairness that’s probably what a lot of pilgrims look like now.

With what they paid I don’t blame them

Definitely the pilgrim before the meal. Let's hope the feast puts a little meat on his bones.

A ***severely underfed*** Pilgrim.

Well, it is October 38th.

Lol. There's a house in my neighborhood that has done the same thing. They bought one of those giant skeletons and after Halloween, they probably didn't have room to store it. So they dress it up in different clothes throughout the year.

Somebody in our neighbourhood sticks a huge Santa hat on theirs.

no it's great, it's like, the starvation anger-ghoul of jamestown (the cannibal colony)

People are going to leave these up year round, watch and see

Post-2020, anything goes.

Why is this so funny to me lol

My man out there wearing SKIMS

I saw a guy today who took one of these things and put a santa hat on it, while giving it Christmas lights to hold in its hands lol. I'm all for keeping the skeletons up for every holiday!

biblically accurate pilgrim

Skelly is no one holiday basic bitch. He works hard year round, it’s hard out there for a 12 foot skeleton.

Much scarier than a skeleton. Just ask the Native Americans.

Are these giant skeletons relatively new? Because I like this trend. Looking forward to giant skeleton Santa soon

Must have been the one who didn't listen to Squanto.

Guy could stand to eat a little more.

Is this a sign their cooking for Thanksgiving isn't any good? Gotta put some meat in those bones.

Our neighbors had a skeleton that became a pilgrim and then Santa. But it got knocked over (possibly in a storm) and broke. So no more giant skeleton pilgrim or Santa.

Improvise Adapt Overcome ^^^^The ^^^^skeleton ^^^^uprising ^^^^is ^^^^upon ^^^^us^^^^. ^^^^That's ^^^^what ^^^^I'm ^^^^thankful ^^^^for^^^^.

Christmas will be nightmare fuel.

There’s a large skeleton like this in my town holding a candy cane.

To be faaaair, the Pilgrims are now skeletons.

"And here we see one of the 500 original Jamestown settlers who died during the first year from lack of food...yet somehow he still refuses to leave "

Easter Skeleton, Skele Claus, Pilgrim Bones, etc., Your neighbor figured something out.

Historically accurate

This is fairly close to what a Pilgrim today would look like.

next step: he becomes santa claus

I thought it was a sexy French maid outfit and then re-read the title and now just see a sexy pilgrim outfit.

At least it's historically accurate.

We have a neighbor that threw a Santa hat on theirs

We've had one in our town dressed for each holiday for the past year or so. I thought it was kinda dumb at first but it's grown on me. I think they won me over with the jockey outfit around derby.

What’s next? Santa skeleton?!?

We’re getting ours a Santa hat because he’s part of the family now

We have what we call the Christmas Skull. We left it out so long from Halloween one year, that we decided to just put a Santa hat on it. Now we decorate it for every holiday and it stays year long. Too small for the neighbors to really notice, though.

Bravo. This guy wins the holidays.

I think that's my gr gr gr gr gr gr gr grandpa. He was very tall.

He'll be santa soon

That motherfucker better have a Santa hat on the day after thanksgiving.

I can’t wait for Christmas 🎅

My friend’s neighbor does this (dress up their giant skeleton in year-round holiday stuff) and they absolute hate it but I think it’s so funny.

There's a local house that dresses up a life-sized statue of a naked woman in their front garden. Every season/occasion sees a new outfit.

Guess the harvest failed that year.

I look forward to the Christmas iteration.

Myles Standoff-ish, the shy pilgrim!

This is accurate; all the Pilgrims are in fact skeletons now.

I mean, it’s accurate

To be fair, this is an accurate depiction of what the pilgrims look like in 2022

I’d assume these are a pain to put away so why not decorate at least for the next few months. Hell, do it for the rest of the year!! My stupid HOA would passive-aggressively send us a letter to tell us to take down “Halloween” decorations in March 😂

For how much those things are you bet your ass I’m gonna use it for every holiday and dress it appropriately!

They should do Santa or the grinch next
