Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

For the younger redditors who don't recognize everyone in the pic... Left to Right:Michael Jordan-Christopher "Kid" Reid-Will Smith-DJ Jazzy Jeff-Christopher "Play" Martin

[–]TimesWasting 20 points21 points ago

Holy shit I thought the guy on the far right was malcolm jamal warner

[–]vertekal 5 points6 points ago

[–]wowowowowow12 2 points3 points ago

Me too!

[–]7Dayss 12 points13 points ago

Will Smiths's son Jaden Smith is Sideshow Bob

[–]Bank_Gothic 14 points15 points ago

Hey Crabman.

[–]metalrader 10 points11 points ago

Hey Earl.

[–]YouListening -1 points0 points ago

Kid needs a serious trim.

[–]mixmastakooz 5 points6 points ago

And for a bit more info: Christopher "Kid" Reid and Christopher "Play" Martin were the dynamic duo of Kid-n-Play. They were damn good dancers and had some great party songs: check out 2 Hype from '88. They were only big in the '90's because of their fun House Party movies.

[–]a594109 10 points11 points ago

Kid n Play Dancing

How did you get imgur to spell white?

[–]skinniegenes 22 points23 points ago

[–]Alias135 2 points3 points ago

Make it even bigger!

[–]nicoleisrad 7 points8 points ago

As a kid, I thought it was "Kitten Play".

[–]OmniaII 24 points25 points ago

We just had this conversation...

[–]WalrusRid3r 0 points1 point ago

Clicked it. "Backhoe hand shovels." Practically the same picture.

[–]-Syphon- 11 points12 points ago

Shit MJ really changed in the 90s.

[–]webby_mc_webberson 6 points7 points ago

I'd be inclined to say he changed in the '00s

[–]tearr 3 points4 points ago

yeah, huge changes in 2008

[–]compromised_account 3 points4 points ago

What? I thought that was Jimmy Fallon.

[–]BaobhanSith 3 points4 points ago

I just looked at it again thinking that I'd somehow missed Michael Jackson.

[–]TinaEatTheHam 3 points4 points ago

The Funky Charleston, FTW

[–]d0ndada 4 points5 points ago

The Illuminati killed Kid-N-Play. They were threatened by their dance moves.

[–]joeynana 4 points5 points ago

Man, as a nerdy white Australian boy, I always felt I was the only person out there that loved Kid and Play.

[–]wrathborne -2 points-1 points ago

You were. Sorry to have to tell you now that its too late :/

[–]anonymousHacker 7 points8 points ago

The early repost in one repost.

[–]Davey303 2 points3 points ago

This is supposed to be a gif that simulates dial up loading speed.

[–]mistergookey 4 points5 points ago

Fixed.

[–]ChuckDeezNuts 0 points1 point ago

No you didn't..?

[–]huds5321 0 points1 point ago

Nailed it.

[–]ImAFlyingWhale 0 points1 point ago

Is that Tony Hale?

[–]jerklecirque 1 point2 points ago

But... there's no Lisa Frank.

[–]magusg 7 points8 points ago

Is that failed baseball player Michael Jordan?

[–]MediocreJerk 1 point2 points ago

Wow, I had no idea that besides acting he also played baseball.

[–]H_E_Pennypacker -1 points0 points ago

Won 3 championships in a row, quit to play baseball for 2 years, then came right back and won another 3 in a row. Yeah he was pretty good.

[–]BeatsbyChrisBrown 3 points4 points ago

If Boyz II Men showed up, it would've been the End of the Road as we know it...

[–]TheRealEggNogAdam 0 points1 point ago

But it's so hard to say goodbye

[–]Dwells_Under_Bridges 3 points4 points ago

Ok Jordan, Kid (or Play, I don't really know the difference), Will Smith, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Play (or Kid, like I said before.)

[–]doomisdead 1 point2 points ago

All that's missing is Ninja Turtle.

[–]heodieat 0 points1 point ago

I don't see any flannel.

[–]deeznutz12 -1 points0 points ago

Just missing Arsenio Hall.

[–]Neite 0 points1 point ago

Oh How I miss 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air'

[–]LolerCoaster 0 points1 point ago

This image has been reposted since the start of the internet. Sweet pic though.

[–]vagrantwade -1 points0 points ago

Pretty sure the 90's for me consisted of more than MJ, Kid n Play, and Will/Jazzy Jeff. Add some Power Rangers and TMNT and we are talking a bit.

[–]JustHereToDerp 0 points1 point ago

DAE 90s?

[–]Notahipster_ 0 points1 point ago

Awesome tidbit of information, if anyone wants to know: Michael Jordan went to the high school I'm starting my senior year at.

The gym has these huge letters on the front (at the very front of the school) that says "MICHAEL JORDAN GYMNASIUM" or something.

[–]H8rade 0 points1 point ago

If only there were a few Wayans brothers in there too, it would be perfect.

[–]O364388 0 points1 point ago

I love seeing this reposted over and over

[–]PAUL_ONEIL 0 points1 point ago

I remember buying House Party on vhs way back and I have to say, was one of the best snap decisions I've ever made.

[–]CliffThaRiff 0 points1 point ago

I freaking love House Party!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

where's Bo Jackson?

[–]HeWentToJared91 0 points1 point ago

WHERE THE FUCK IS SCREECH? How can you forget Screech?

[–]doublechucklehaha 0 points1 point ago

50 Shades of Black

[–]DesiccatedDogDicks 1 point2 points ago

...in America.

[–]Pagan-za 0 points1 point ago

Thats either the whitest black dude I've ever seen or the blackest white dude.

'Well, that depends on what you're wearing'

[–]Backdoor_Man 1 point2 points ago

I thought The Jackson Five was a 70s band...

[–]pinjas 1 point2 points ago

Is it normal to see so much 90's nostalgia and even nostalgia type stuff on reddit?

[–]latticusnon 1 point2 points ago

Yes

[–]TimesWasting 2 points3 points ago

To reddit, anything after 99 sucks

[–]himurax3x -1 points0 points ago

Thats priceless.

[–]thecacti -1 points0 points ago

Throw in Billy Corgan and call it wrap.

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

Even the white dudes had a high top fade

[–]webby_mc_webberson 20 points21 points ago

he ain't white, he's light (Well actually, he's half Jamaican, half Irish). That's Chistopher Reid from Kid 'n Play. What a flashback.

[–]thetoastmonster 12 points13 points ago

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

[–]the_goat_boy -5 points-4 points ago

I thought it was Eminem.

[–]Vagnarok 1 point2 points ago

I didn't have time for a fucking high top fade. I was too busy playing with my skip-it and stealing my sister's polly pocket dolls.

[–]Frailed 1 point2 points ago

I can name Eminem but don't know the rest.

[–]DylanMorgan -2 points-1 points ago

Odd, I don't see Nirvana anywhere in that photo.

[–]JoshwaarBee 1 point2 points ago

This is Nirvana at a halloween Party.

Folks were a lot more lax about those kinds of things back then.

Fun fact: Kurt wanted to be Jazzy Jeff, but Dave had dibs.

[–]SnackeyG1 0 points1 point ago

There is a whole lot of early 90's missing with this.

[–]ottguy74 -4 points-3 points ago

Which one of these guy's in Metalica?

[–]coffeesleeve 0 points1 point ago

Back when Jordan was a nice guy...

[–]BaobhanSith 6 points7 points ago

What happened? I don't know any of the stories.

[–]YOU_MADE_ME 8 points9 points ago

I think the consensus is that he was never actually a nice guy. He just had an amazing PR team.

[–]DylanMorgan 0 points1 point ago

I knew a guy who had met him his first year on the Bulls, who said he was a really cool guy and very friendly. That said, imagine for a moment that you spend several years where nearly every minute you are working. I know I'd be an asshole too.

[–]BipBopBoop -1 points0 points ago

Playing basketball all day and earning millions and the adoration of hundreds of millions of people....hm, doesn't seem like work to me.

[–]DrinksBathWater 1 point2 points ago

I don't get the point of these posts. Did anyone look up to Jordan to be a nice guy? He is a basketball icon a standard for top notch players, not Mr. Rogers.

[–]Miley_Cyrax -1 points0 points ago

Michael Jordan looks eerily like a Magic Johnson/Michael Jordan hybrid in this photo. Maybe it's the smile that he'll later trade in for a menacing glare.

[–]Aegean 0 points1 point ago

Now I know why hip hop went gangsta-rap.

[–]Hair_N_Play -1 points0 points ago

You can see me to row, second from the left.

[–]Fu_Man_Chu -2 points-1 points ago

I don't know about you guys but I was listening to Wu-Tang, Master Ace, and Das Efx in the early 90s. That Kid-n-Play shit don't cut it.

[–]cannedmath -5 points-4 points ago

Jesus Christ. Well, at least this is the early 90's 'Mericah...

[–]DickBaggins -3 points-2 points ago

There were no white people in the early 90's?

[–]dlsspy -4 points-3 points ago

Dude. The second one from the left...

[–]Rainieification 1 point2 points ago

... is half-Irish, if I remember correctly.

[–]jnathanh1 -1 points0 points ago

It looks like michael jordan is absorbing the black from them.

[–]Kapidux 0 points1 point ago

Let them downvote. This is the first time I've laughed today.

[–]xhephaestusx -3 points-2 points ago

apparently I was born in a very black time...

edit: what, does it actually turn out that there were no white celebrities in the 90s? am i somehow wrong here? jesus reddit, you make no fucking sense

[–]great_gape -3 points-2 points ago

Is Christopher Reid albino?

[–]theotherspartan 0 points1 point ago

Nah, just black mixed with plenty of white (i.e. there was probably some white in the 'black' side of his family as well). I'm the same way, but with more loosely curled hair. When I let my hair 'fro out, people just assume I'm Jewish or something.

[–]JoeCool888 -3 points-2 points ago

Where's Kurt?

[–]RoboNinjaPirate -1 points0 points ago

The early 90s was much less racially diverse than I remember it.

[–]upinscraps -3 points-2 points ago

The 1990s: The Decade of the Oreo

[–]GenkiElite -5 points-4 points ago

80% of the early 90's sucked.

[–]HHRLLC 0 points1 point ago

This makes me want to shoot some hoops at a Summertime House Party!
