Dem Bones: Difference between revisions

* Erm....does [[The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson|Geoff Peterson]] count?

* Pierce hallucinates these during a [[Mushroom Samba]] in the ''[[Community]]'' episode "[[Community/Recap/S1 E07 Introduction to Statistics|Introduction to Statistics]]".

'''Jeff:''' "Well, when we go to floating skeletons with our problems, we get what we pay for, don't we?" }}

* Bonapart the skeleton from ''Owl/TV''.

* ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' has floating skulls as enemies.

* ''[[The Curse of Monkey Island]]'' and ''[[Escape from Monkey Island]]'' had the fearsome Murray, the demonic animated skeleton with plans to conquer the world, who would have been significantly more fearsome if he wasn't just a skull and unable to move around by himself. Still, with lines like this, it's no wonder "Murray the Mighty Demonic Skull" is [[Ensemble Darkhorse|so popular]]:

'''Murray:''' All right then, roll! ''Roll'' through the gates of hell. Must you take the fun out of everything? }}

** ''[[Monkey Island]]'' had more examples in LeChuck's demonic crew. ''[[Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge]]'' notably featured [[Dem Bones]] actually singing "[[wikipedia:Dem Bones|Dem Bones]]".

** Technically they're calacas (see above), which accounts for their stylization.

** The question of motor skills is lampshaded in Manny's conversation with a short-tempered clown:

'''Balloon Guy''': Well you don't have a tongue, but that doesn't seem to shut you up, now does it? }}

* Skeletons show up throughout the ''[[Heroes of Might and Magic]]'' series as the standard melee grunt for [[The Undead]] faction.

** In the reboot, his face was dissolved by acid in the first episode.

* ''[[Swat Kats]]'' had a recurring villain, Past Master. One of his shticks was reanimating skeletons, as he demonstrated in his first appearance. It wasn't very effective, as a patrolling police helicopter sees them, asks them to stand down, and then delivers a [[Bond One-Liner|parody on the Miranda Rights]] right before shredding them to bits with the on-board Gatling:

* ''[[Skeleton Warriors]]''. In this one, the "curse" of becoming a skeleton could be reversed by removing a ruby in their chest, as they were immortal otherwise.

* Jack Skellington, of ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]''. He's the hero, so that's OK.
