Another thing that freaks me out is pretty much any mascot-type costume. And the very worst of those costumes is the Easter Bunny.
Now, I love bunnies. They're adorable. They look like this:
You know what bunnies don't look like? This:
This fear undoubtedly stems from being forced to have my picture taken with scary-ass Easter Bunnies as a kid. They all looked something like this:
Our nation seems to have a long history of forcing children to sit on the lap of evil bunnies.
You know what would be awesome? Combining my fear of creepy Easter things with creepy antique dolls. Oh, goody:
Happy Easter.
Oh lordy. I am going to have to make sure all my closets are free of evil bunnies before I will be able to sleep tonight.
ReplyDeleteOMG - So hilarious and so true!!! I hate bunny costumes, and I don't understand the obsession with bunnies and Easter. I just don't get it. And I especially don't get why parents put their babies in those egg lookin' costume things; seriously???
ReplyDeleteThe egg doll and bunny's may haunt me forever. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteSo of COURSE I read all this after midnight, just in time to freak me out so much, I won't be able to sleep. Yikes...
ReplyDeleteOMG. That last photo. I....there is not enough therapy in the world to help me over that.
ReplyDeleteI am scared.... I need a hug...I just added another thing to the list of things that scared the poop out of me.
ReplyDeleteWow. I didn't have a problem with Easter bunnies... until this morning! Thanks for all the creepy images to help me through my day!
ReplyDeleteI can't stop laughing. However, I'll take the evil fake bunnies over all the insincere Christian sentiment being spread a foot thick all over the place. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteOmgosh - hilarious!!!!
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I got my SRMM coffee mug yesterday and am enjoying my first cup of coffee in it! :)
OMG where the heck did you get these photos!!!!??? YIKES and triple yikes!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think that last one is the piece de resistance. Good Lord in Heaven.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever seen Donnie Darko?
It won't help your "bunny costumes freak me out" thing. FYI.
These are seriously the scariest things I have ever seen. Even scarier than clowns.
ReplyDeleteYou should google Frank from the Donnie Darko movie. Now THAT is a scary bunny O_O
ReplyDeleteSooooo glad my kids are afraid of the Bunny and completely oblivious to Easter. And the Tooth Fairy. And Santa. WIN!
ReplyDeleteOh man, giggled so much. The look on that poor kid's face in the last easter bunny pic about sent me over the edge... The creepy egg baby is just, well, creepy.
ReplyDeleteArrrrrrrgh! Um, Happy Easter?
ReplyDelete~physicsmom
It's so good to see that you have been feeling better :) It seems as though you haven't been in the best of moods lately when you write :/
ReplyDeleteCool, thanks for making me laugh!!!
Christ almighty woman, I don't know what's scarier - the crack bunnies or the EGGITY DOLL!!!! AAAARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!
ReplyDeleteHilarious-creepy, we loved it!
ReplyDeleteUh, I wasn't scared of bunny suits before. Thanks.
ReplyDelete*shudder* That last one was a doozy. Dolls are so creepy.
ReplyDeleteAAAGGHH!!! After recovering from shock, I am in awe of your curatorial skills on display here. This is a most excellent posted that shall be tweeted out post haste.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious! I get a fit of the giggles everytime I think about this post....Thanks for the good laugh!
ReplyDeleteWhat nightmares are made of!
ReplyDeleteOh. Mah. GAWD. I don't think I've ever said "WTF?!??!" so many times reading a blog post. Truely frightening. What parent would want their child's picture taken with some of those??
ReplyDeleteOMG this is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI never liked any "mascot" or "easter bunny" costumes either.
And my kiddo (who has ASD) really REALLY doesn't like them! Like, full-on run-away panic-attack feet-don't-fail-me-now kinda "doesn't like".
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! I am having the worst week in a long while (which is saying something) and was literally on the verge of tears when I pulled up this post yesterday. And somehow, against all the odds, you actually had me laughing out loud by the end. Ok and maybe still crying a little bit because of the whole stressed-out thing, but still! Any stressed-out mom knows laughing while you're crying is better than just crying, and so I have to thank you. THANK YOU!! Those scary-ass Easter bunnies might just get me through the week!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever seen Buffy the Vampire Slayer? The character Anya had a crazy fear of bunnies. And now I know why.
ReplyDeleteI just randomly stumbled upon this and it cracked me up! I've always wondered why the Easter Bunny costumes are so stinkin creepy! When my husband was a child he was scared of the tooth fairy... something about imagining her flying over him to get to his tooth! Hopefully my own kids didn't inherit his fears because the tooth fairy's coming for my 3 year old next week, thanks to an injured tooth he's having pulled. Oh, and by the way, if you are ever looking for helpful tooth info, I've found this Mom's Guide to be super helpful: http://www.1dental.com/moms-guide/. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThe egg doll and bunny's may haunt me forever. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteI just had to revisit this post a year later to see... yep still cracks me up. You should add this to the "best of SRMM".
