Line 98:
* 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''.
Line 165:
* ''[[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]]:

'''Guybrush:''' Stride?
'''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]]".
Line 177:
** Technically they're calacas (see above), which accounts for their stylization.

'''Manny''': But you don't have any tendons!
'''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.
Line 281:
** 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.
