edit: fixed their to your and spelling. I need to brush up on my TLC.

[–]styxman34 107 points108 points ago

I'm disappointed that that is not a real subreddit.

[–]Parker_I 9 points10 points ago

The name was too big. This is the best I could do /r/onthepassengerside

[–]alphasci 2 points3 points ago

how do you make a subreddit? ive been trying to figure it out for some time now...

[–]THIS_POST_IS_FAKE 68 points69 points ago

you must rescue 5 cats to unlock this feature.

[–]Joat 7 points8 points ago

Thank You!, you have successfully rescued cat 5, but your subreddit is in another subreddit.

[–]dimechimes 0 points1 point ago

I think I had the option in the sidebar. But that was with my last account. I don't see it now, so I guess you gotta wait.

[–]alphasci 1 point2 points ago

sidebar?

wait? do u have to be a rediditor for a certian amount of time?

[–]dimechimes 1 point2 points ago

I don't know. But over on the side where it says submit a link. I think there was one that said create your own subreddit. But that was a few accounts ago. Maybe it's a karma score thing but I don't see the option and I know when I created mine it was stupid easy.

[–]Scumbag_Dustin 0 points1 point ago

The option to "start your own community" doesn't show up when you're in the comment section. Go to your front page or /r/all and you'll see it.

[–]Nom_de_Guerra 19 points20 points ago

It would be if it said "friends" instead of "friemds".

[–]xmtg2o7 0 points1 point ago

[–]Neebat 8 points9 points ago

I don't want to share Reddit with people who grew up with the Teletubbies. :-(

[–]cgdiaz 1 point2 points ago

Not just grew up with it...watched it enough to pick a favorite.

[–]JaronK 7 points8 points ago

The Ring... it's perfect for people who like teletubbies.

If I didn't know what teletubbies were, I'd be terrified at that painting.

Welcome back, did you hear the calls of millions of redditors wanting their posts to be watercolored?

Yeah. The girl from the Ring might crawl out of it.

The TV or the Teletubby?

Both. At the same time.

"And, you know, the thing about a teletubbie... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'."

That's ok, those two categories overlap. /r/funny and /r/wtf do not overlap conceptually, but people don't seem to get that at all.

This needs an appropriate response. I found ones on Google, but they don't come with the creepy mask as well.

[–]FireReadyAim 2 points3 points ago

I would be completely unwilling to take pictures of shit like that just because it's exactly what they want.

[–]gedouttaheyah 9 points10 points ago

This is the most WTF I've seen thus far today. Where the hell was that thing headed I wonder?

The bowels of hell, that's my only guess.

Po obviously did not learn vehicle safety from the big baby sun in the sky. She must have skipped that episode.

Oh man, this reminds me of the life-sized inflatable Gumby my friend had in high school. We stuffed that thing into the passenger seat of my car with his waving arm sticking out the window and drove all over town like that. It was awesome. I wish we'd thought to take pictures.

[–]TheWorstHasHappened 0 points1 point ago

Man talk about a scary neighbor.

[–]whatbrighteyes 0 points1 point ago

This kid I used to work with showed me a picture one time of the bros who lived across the street from him.

There were four of them, and they were each dressed as a different color teletubbie, and they were hanging over the wall of their back yard facing the road, drinking PBRs.

He said they did that EVERY AFTERNOON.

[–]sunshinesurr 0 points1 point ago

Screw you. Now I can't sleep. Upvote for keeping creepy alive.

[–]_angel 0 points1 point ago

I've been in this situation multiple times before. (The one in the costume.)

How it works is there is an event, in this situation in the picture a parade most likely. The character either walks or rides in the parade, but before and after the parade the character is driven to the parade from the changing spot as it is not close to the parade usually.

When in a hot suit it is extremely comfortable to stick your head out the window or at very least your arms. You can't feel the wind strongly so it feels like a nice fan. Not only that but it is TONS of fun to wave at people on the side of the street and the people driving their car. People honk, wave back, laugh, smile, ... everything positive you can think of. I've even seen people open their sun roof and stand up and yell weird things like, "I love you!" or "You're awesome!"

I haven't worked as a costume character in years. It is a hard job. I did it mainly during my teenage years into my early twenties to go to random places. I could be in a show that is 30 minutes long in some part of the country and then half half the week to explore that town. I would get paid to travel and get paid a decent amount for the little amount of work it took. At the time I was traveling to different countries and all over the USA just to see the world. Because I was a teen I didn't want to spend money so I decided to take the chance to get paid while doing it.

During my adventures subbing for sports mascots and performing for kids I met tons of different people. Most of the people who wore suits were older and doing it for the extra money. I was always the youngest.

It is an excuse to go see the world. Why wouldn't I do it, especially at that age? :D

If you're interested in being a Nesquik bunny for $20 an hour or escorting for $15 an hour, then checkout locations here and if interested email nqbunny@mascot.org Just an example. Bumping into random people are amazing if you're interested in the different stories people have.

[–]Monocle_Lover 0 points1 point ago

We rented a whole lot of costumes last night for a 5th birthday to (gladly) find out they were 7 day rentals.
