My favorite Skeleton may have to be Grim from “The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy” just because it’s a Jamaican Skeleton man who’s friends with my favorite depiction of Dracula

[@Ghost2rific]

"Scrape and lick" Dracula in that show was amazing

[@glowing_clod969]

Same

[@SoulStarSketchin]

Never has a comment ever put me in the best mood to read

[@nathanieladams1197]

I’m glad someone finally said the truth out here 👏

[@astoron8398]

It's a close second but death from horrible histories just edges out.

[@lisasingfield4683]

fav skeleton is the "Shut Up, Louis!" skeleton from Horrible Histories along with Death of Stupid Deaths.

[@ChristopherMB87]

Was just thinking that!

[@CaptainQ2607]

Karl must have forgotten to mention that this time.

[@baileywatts1304]

Similar to Lucas's normal person costume, I gotta say the one I wore that my friends at the time thought was the scariest one was the time I dressed up as myself. I put in contact lenses and got a pair of cheap non prescription glasses that looked like mine, put in fake teeth that didn't have anything really wrong with them but were obviously plastic, got a cheap wig in my hair color that I styled took pretty much like my real hair, used my very bad sewing skills to craft a poorly made replica of the sort of clothes I usually wear and painted all my exposed skin in an acrylic paint that I matched to my natural skin tone. When I got there and name tags were handed out, I left the E out when I wrote my name on it. After an hour or so of drinking and talking the paint started flaking off around my mouth, eyes and knuckles from the skin moving.

[@henryrobert5917]

My grandparents' house in a tiny french village is right in front of the church. Said church was built upon the old village cemetary (from about mid-Middle-Ages). When they moved the cemetary in the 1800s they only moved the remains of those that were remembered. Which is why i grew up playing around the church and regularly finding human bones. So i told this to my therapist the other day and made me realise that that's not exactly normal to play around human remains.

[@kilderok]

Luckyyyy

[@0ceanmachine]

If anyone ever tells you that you are bad at your job, remember someone gave a film where a character rips of his own face, a PG rating

[@MosoKaiser]

Poltergeist was actually initially rated R by MPAA, but was changed to PG after appeals from Steven Spielberg and Tobe Hooper. And that was 1982, so no PG-13 yet. It took until 1984 when complaints over PG rated Gremlins and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom prompted the creation of the intermediary PG-13 rating.

[@thalmoragent9344]

😳

[@thegentlemanwiththemustach1087]

@@MosoKaiser I thought Raiders of the Lost Ark was the movie to create the PG-13 rating

[@MosoKaiser]

@@thegentlemanwiththemustach1087 'Raiders' indeed pushed the limits, but it wasn't quite enough to promp for the creation of PG-13 yet. It got first slapped with an R, but after toning down the head explosion scene with some added flames to obscure things a bit, it passed as PG.

"You have a bunch of human skeletons lying around because of corpse you do."

[@Icegl0w]

Just for Nisha's benefit. I used to date an Archeologist. One of the more common jobs that her archeology company had to do, was go exhume graveyards and document it all so that new houses could be built. In particular, I remember her coming to mine from working in Elephant And Castle in London and she had been digging up skeletons from there so they could build luxury apartments. So you may never know whether your house was built upon a graveyard unless you did some digging as it were in to the records of the area. Also interesting little factoid I learnt - you can't dig anywhere in the City of London until your dig site has been vetted by an archeologist

[@Rakebab1]

This has been a very interesting fact. I appreciate the mild horror I must now live with.

[@whyjnot420]

Did you know that for several years in the UK, due to a massive decline in new construction, Time Team was the largest single contributor to archaeology there. Also the mandate requiring archaeological surveys goes far beyond the square mile of the City of London. edit: largest contributor in terms of money spent

[@EZ-D-FIANT]

Brixton, luxury apartments, where am I?......

[@markusvlad7217]

The skeletons should have at least had a casting role in the credits.

[@mnm1273]

I'd 100% take a cheaper house on a graveyard. Well cheaper flat if I'm being realistic.

[@Minsc1989]

cheaper tent in my case

[@jojotheswede8444]

cheaper cardboard box -_-

[@Sherlock-in-a-Nutshell]

In my childhood home’s backyard we once found a perfectly cut cube of a human femur bone. Never was explained, just told to the police then forgotten.

[@thegentlemanwiththemustach1087]

So the femur bone was cut into a cube?

[@chrissmith3587]

Did you keep it?

[@Deseis]

I'm now officially gonna donate my skeleton to a movie studio with the provision that I get to be a reanimated skeleton warrior in a medieval fantasy lol.

[@dennispatterson5642]

A legitimately haunted house would be extremely unaffordable because you’d have big businesses fighting over it in a bidding war so they can turn it into an attraction

[@DwarfDaddy]

Every day Skeleton Warriors is brought up is a good day indeed

[@Mr.2Dirty]

That intro is godly. I blame Super Best Friends for that.

[@slappybigalow8971]

@@Mr.2Dirty still not happy about the divorce.

[@roetheboat1]

@@slappybigalow8971 I've just recently been able to go back to watch some of their playthroughs, although I still have to avoid the comments section in all of them because they're all full of people talking about how much they miss them. Also, I'm pretty sure Karl mentioned the Skeleton Warriors theme because he's a Super Best Friends fan. I know he's talked about some of their stuff in the past.

[@katttscratchfever]

My favorite skeleton is Death from Discworld, he's good at his job and a good grandfather!

[@IHoernig]

By far the best!

[@jayclaymore01]

Jack Skellington from Nightmare Before Christmas. Best skelly ever.

[@gnerd13]

I have to say Karl my favorite Skeleton has to be my own, I never go anywhere without it 😉

[@currency_susan]

The Skeleton Warriors theme plays in my head whenever someone says "cunt". Which is a lot since I'm Scottish.

[@Mythilt]

Should be pointed out that the family didn't know the house was built on the graveyard in the movie, was part of the climax was them finding out that the house was built on a graveyard and more importantly, the graves weren't moved.

[@whyjnot420]

The only qualms I would have about a house built on a graveyard would be whether or not it had been treated respectfully. Respect for the dead is one of the most prominent ways that we show respect for life itself.

[@jackukridge5381]

I bought a halloween skeleton and sat it up in the living room and accidentally scared the hell out of my landlady.

[@powwowken2760]

Imagine being a ghost and having donated your body to science. Then one day you decide to see what amazing medical research is being done, or how many lives you've saved with your donation... and instead you find out that your corpse has become a movie prop. Probably not what you had in mind, but also maybe kind of cool?

[@jarnesss2546]

Honourable mention to the skeletons in scooby doo 2 using one another to sled down the hill after shaggy and scooby

[@cramerfloro5936]

Oh, my favourite skeleton has to be Bonejangle, from the "Corpse Bride". Dude has one of the best songs from any movie!

[@stevesmith5883]

I'd take the haunted house on 15 graveyards! Would speed up the process of actively trying to have a paranormal experience that can't be easily explained away.

[@egg6144]

Same. I’m tempted to do spooky crap to try and get haunted or something. Only thing stopping me is I’m lazy

[@stevesmith5883]

@@egg6144 Basically same, I've dabbled in various aspects of the occult and it's still an interest of mine but occultism isn't the easiest activity for a chronic procrastinator considering it's need for meditation, organized ritual and regular practice haha.

[@stevesmith5883]

Also being in a tiny room in a shared house doesn't help, cant really set up an alter, can't even fit a proper desk in there!

[@Xonides]

Shoot, they’re one solid necromantic deal from having eternal housekeepers

[@convolutedconcepts]

Favorite skeleton(s) are the ones thrown at Ash (Bruce Campbell) in army of darkness. But specifically the one that runs to screen and yells "Let's get the hell outa here!"

[@sebastianquinchia1840]

My favorite skeleton is definitely Brook from One Piece. YOHOHOHO

[@justsomejerseydevilwithint4606]

0:50 I honestly _want_ a cheap but haunted large house. It's a steal all around; either I get a fun and unique roommate, or a small exorcism fee and a house for cheap. "muhahah, oh but you can't call the exorcist! I've blocked all radio signals and locked the doors!" Bitch, the window replacement will be cheaper than the rent I'd pay for this house at full price. also, if you're trying to kill me, I'll exorcise you myself, and if that doesn't work, you honestly think A DOOR will stop me when I'm fighting for my life? My point is, a haunted but cheap house, in this housing market, is a steal all around; worst case scenario a few scratches and a window replacement.

[@dorothymorrigan4251]

My favorite Skeleton is DC character Director Bones, who is basically a skeleton in a suit that works for the government

[@whyjnot420]

I think my favorite "real was cheaper" moment was the ginormous pile of guns in Lord of War.

[@threebadgersinatrenchcoat7957]

The guy whose skull David Tenant used was the famous Russian composer Tchaikovsky.

But not *that* Tchaikovsky. Same name, different person.

You guys DO know the production of The Poltergeist was cursed right?

[@mind.hemorrhage]

A house my family lived in while I was in high school def had/still has something going on with it. The house originally belonged to the first pastor of the church next to it, and he was into some…let’s just say “not very Christian things” according to a diary we found in my bedroom wall from one of his kids during renovation. While my dad was working down in the basement he had to open up a wall panel to search for a leaking pipe and found the fully intact skeleton of a goat and two unidentifiable leg bones and several candles…big ol nope right there. After Dad found all that, weird stuff started happening around the house INCLUDING an incident where my dad, my sister, and I from separate areas in the house all witnessed what looked like a little boy wander in from the back porch, go up the stairs, and go straight towards where the upstairs bathroom was. If you ever find skeletons in yer basement…leave em be.

[@russfoulkes5490]

There was an actual skeleton in a box in a cupboard in my junior school. 😂 Imagine....after you're gone, some kids occasionally get you out when play time was rained off and made you say offensive stuff like "Willy".

[@kilderok]

I still feel kinda bad for making the science class skeleton fondle himself. Maybe that's why my life sucks.

[@CookieMonster-pl2yb]

You made the joke about 360p and that's what I usually watch videos with since I Don't wanna wait for it to load 😂

[@NZLion]

Nisha came across quite different in this video compared to most past voice appearances... sounded more like she was just hanging out with Karl rather than fulfilling a role. Was cool being able to catch the more natural interactions between the hosts.

[@Demokirby]

My kids are the rare few who know static because during the pandemic start, I got them a disney princess crt because I didn't want them free roaming on streaming services, but a way they could have a tv in their room so we can get space from each other when we needed it. Can get them vhs tapes for half a dollar and since they are 3 and 6, they could care less about the video quality and find the physical media itself interesting.

[@Dericulus]

This channel is slowly turning into British Jeff Dunham (Geoffrey Dunderdash?) and I am here for it. Lol

[@Cuiasodo]

I heard a different story about someone trying to donate their skull to a theater company. The guy put it in his will and everything and his family agreed to it...but then they hit legal red-tape and were told, "yeah, you're not allowed to do that, you need your bones to either be buried, donated to research or cremated with you. You can't just ask for your skull to be removed." So, they wond up not using his skull for Hamlet

[@DragonMaul1]

It was Hamlet not Macbeth where they used the skull

[@MarkCalise]

I came here to say that

[@radishattack]

My favorite skeleton are Everquest Skeletons. They look so happy, make a cool crunch sound when you hit them, and their laugh is hilarious.

[@Professor_GonZo]

The Internet pooches a lot of things in old movies. The best skeletons are the Army of Darkness slapstick skeletons.

[@nightstalker5282]

My favorite skeletons are Spinal from Killer Instinct, the living skeletons from Jason and the Argonauts, Jack Skellington, Sir Daniel Fortesque, and Lego Skeletons.

[@kaskus7147]

I am pretty sure that in the movie they say that the housing developer was supposed to dig up the bodies and move them, but instead they just moved the headstones and lied to the families about what happened to the bodies. I

[@Breegullbeak]

Mr. Bones from Spyro 2 and 3 is my personal favorite Skeleton.

[@maube8007]

It's easy to make fake bones. One way is to make a master, mold that master in air-drying clay, pour in plaster with a Styrofoam-core. It doesn't have to look great if it's not in a close up, just the same general shape and colour.

[@GoneFishingAmalgam]

7:34 So they got them from that place in the beginning of Return of the Living Dead that ships out the skeletons and cadavers to hospitals and med schools.

[@ewokpants4891]

So stupid, every inch of land is a graveyard - people have been littering the floor with their corpses for around 2.4 million years and if you think other animals have souls then every spec of dirt on this planet would be haunted.

[@Cuiasodo]

Yeah, with the housing market what it is, most people I know would be like, "y'know, I'll take it and invest in exorcism courses. I'll take those spooky odds."

[@Tari_Ebon]

"Retuuuurn the slaaaab" 'nuff said.

[@marcofioretti6908]

If had to choose a favourite skeleton it would probably be skelly Barbossa from the first pirates film

[@deathgodbob]

Favorite comedy skeleton is Robbie Williams' Rock DJ skellington. Favorite non-comedy skellington is probably the bad terminator from Terminator: Dark Fate.

[@badwolfest83o8]

The best skeleton character ever is easily Gregg, The Grim Reaper from Conker's Bad Fur Day. 😁

Real skeletons and corpses are more biodegradable than plastic ones so respect to the filmmakers for reducing their carbon footprint in the industry 👏👏👏

Personally I'd be thrilled if my skeleton got to be in a movie. More than I'll ever do in life. Well....I guess I'd be both thrilled and pissed, since it would be a case of "oh I see, I can't get any credit in LIFE but after I die suuuuure NOW I matter!".
