kid surprised by a mouse in his locker: mocked for days by the whole school kid performs a mediocre & impromptu ventriloquist dummy routine in the middle of the hallway: lauded by everyone as a super-cool comedy god
Only Goosebumps book with a line of dialogue I distinctly remember. One of the characters is trying to do some sort of comedy bit with the dummy and says "Hey Slappy, why are your eyes closed?" To which the dummy replies "I'm trying to see what it looks like with my eyes shut." Ever since I've read it, any time I've began to laugh at an inappropriate time or place, all I have to do is think of that terrible, terrible joke and I'm back to stoneface.
The more I think about it the funnier this awful joke becomes, why is this capable of making me laugh? It's just so stupid but it's great at the same time
It’s like how the Killer in the first Friday the 13th is Pamela, not Jason. Now at parties, whenever someone mentions Slappy (which happens all the time) I can say ‘Actually, the original evil goosebumps dummy was Mr.Wood’. Thank you for making me so popular
Good job, Lindy, your prank resulted in both of your dummies being taken away and you being forced to stay up all night cleaning up the trashed kitchen alongside your sister. I can totally see why you'd be so proud of yourself.
3:44 When I was 12 (well, from 10-14) I was in a puppeteering class. They taught us how to give the puppet a more natural movement, and how to talk without moving your lips too much (though later I learned through observation that really good puppeteers don't need to do that because people aren't looking at them anyway when the "puppet" is speaking). It was a fun experience. Pretty sure I don't have that puppet anymore, though I couldn't say when it finally wandered off.
I have to say that I truly love your distinct brand of G-rated horror drinking games combined with sassy narration and continuous cat interruptions. My added rule is to drink for every cat interruption. Please drink responsibly.
Never having heard of these books before, I looked up Mr. Stine and he has apparently built an entirely new literary genre around Slappy the ventriloquist dummy. Titles include Slappy's Revenge, Son of Slappy, and Slappy New Year. There is also a separate series of novels called Slappyworld and a series of Goosebumps Graphix titles that includes Slappy's Tales of Horror. Evidently, Slappy is now writing juvenile horror fiction himself. Either that or Mr. Stine has been completely subsumed by his creation.
30:16 I STILL have this phrase locked in my brain, and I also know it apparently translates to "you and I are one now." I swear if I suddenly get amnesia this shit will still be in my memory.
"Going upstairs to practice with Mr. Wood" There's a thinly veiled masturbation reference if I ever heard one, what was Rudolf Ludwig Stein thinking...
R.L. Stine got his start by first writing a series of kids joke books. Not only did I never find Goosebumps scary, but it always seemed to me like they weren't even trying to be scary. They always came off as Stine wanting to get back to his roots of writing joke books, but he had already established himself as a kids horror novelist with his legit horror series like Fear Street in the late 80s to early 90s. I suspect Goosebumps was born from him starting out at writing joke books but he just threw in vampires and werewolves. And now I STRONGLY suspect that's the case with him writing a Goosebumps specifically about a talking dummy who spouts every cliche joke straight out the 101 Wacky Kids Jokes book.
When I was a kid, probably too young for this series (7 or 8), I found this book in my dad’s office at school. I read it. I was so legitimately terrified that for like a month, my mom had to sit outside the bathroom every time I went in there because I was scared an evil dummy was hiding in the shower behind the bath curtain and I wanted to make sure I didn’t get got.
I kinda blew right past the rl stine phase as a kid, so I never got to read them all. I'm going to have to bookmark this series and follow along on weekends now
I think that in my elementary school brain I conflated this story with the Are You Afraid of the Dark episode about clowns. (And yes, I am afraid of the dark).
Ok.did anybody see that movie from the 1970s called "magic" about a living ventriloquist dummy? Its not for kids at all, butit does have the little know actor anthony hoppkins in it.
So Slappy was alive to begin with and Mr. Wood originally wasn't. BUT that also means Slappy was jealous of Mr. Wood when Mr. Wood was nothing but an inanimate object. Slappy needs therapy to address his deep-seated insecurities.
I never read Goosebumps but I love these. When you're done with them you could start Drunk Game of Thrones. (Everytime something horrible happens you take a drink. Patreon could pay for your new liver.)
Awesome video, can I make a suggestion that you look at the camera a little bit more. I know you have the script you wrote I personally just find it oddly off-putting lol. But your videos are great
Typical American dream house. If you look at the episode of Night of The Living Dummy 2, the exterior and in the painting Sarah makes its a one storey house, but Amy's room is upstairs....lol, like, what
3:38 Well, we know who didn't grow up with the joys of Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, The many Muppet Movies, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, Gremlins, Little Shop of Horrors, The original Star Wars Trilogy, Critters, Tremors, MST3K or The Nightmare Before Christmas. Damn millennials and their lack of culture and exposure to classic art forms. This moment is almost like the moment I was watching Teen Jeopardy in the early aughts, and the three 18 year olds blanked on a very easy The Princess Bride question.

When I was 12 I carried around a little moose puppet and made it be rude to people I didn’t like so I didn’t have to
A moose puppet. I want one
And funnily enough, the other twelve year olds did not love that weird unusual hobby I performed in the hallways
a real life conky!

i thought the joke was fucking hilarious

I was never allowed to read these as a kid-- and I'm glad, because experiencing this way is definitely the best way possible
Good job, Lindy, your prank resulted in both of your dummies being taken away and you being forced to stay up all night cleaning up the trashed kitchen alongside your sister. I can totally see why you'd be so proud of yourself.
"If you were twelve and you loved puppets I don't want to here that about you no one does." this explains why I never get a second date

"I'm sure this 12 year old blond girl is well versed at hip-hop arts." 😂 😂 😂 😂
"Her little capitalist brain" XD I love this so much~

I can't help but think of "Puppet-crazy Mabel" at the beginning. I love this series. You are an inspiration.
That was actually a pretty good twist at the end. Great video! Very funny! And Sammy was super cute in this!
"Slappy" and "Mr. Wood"?
Does R. L. Stine throw in double-entendres like that all the time?
I just came here from "The Blob Monster That Ate Everyone" and... goodness, you have no idea.
My Hairiest Adventure has a character called Dr. Murkin.
@@ZombieWeiss that may be the worst sentence I've ever read

I guess you could say he's a (•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■) slave to his own creation
I know this is an old comment, but are you from the US? I can't imagine anyone NOT having at least heard of the RL Stine's Goosebumps.
But Mr Wood was the evil dummy!
I love this series because it's like cinema sins but with specifically goosebumps and alcohol and it's fantastic
Dont insult her like that
Ouch. Why’ve you gotta be so mean to Bailey like that?
And of course there's none of that turning on your coworkers and siding with a shady company garbage.
30:16 I STILL have this phrase locked in my brain, and I also know it apparently translates to "you and I are one now." I swear if I suddenly get amnesia this shit will still be in my memory.
My favorite R.L. Stine character archetype is young, endeavoring capitalist pre-teen
I thought Slappy was alive from the start, staged the earlier stuff, and was the one who put the slip of paper in Mr. Wood's pocket
It's a surprisingly well thought out twist for a Goosebumps book
"Going upstairs to practice with Mr. Wood"
There's a thinly veiled masturbation reference if I ever heard one, what was Rudolf Ludwig Stein thinking...
I'm drinking along with a pointsettia cocktail. Thanks for the beginning disclaimer.
This is a criminally under appreciated series. Art.
AAAH YOUR CAT IS SO CUTE AND GOOD

This is an underrated series
The Night of the Living Dummy books were always my favourites! Hoped you’d do one of these since I found the channel!
Great episode loved it
This series is a delight and I love your cat so much
Best series ever
I kinda blew right past the rl stine phase as a kid, so I never got to read them all. I'm going to have to bookmark this series and follow along on weekends now
Forgot how good these stories are 😂More please!
Did the lovely miss baily just say; "bad mam a jamma"? Thats rad! I havent heard that expression in years.
35:25 suddenly a cat appears
Mr Stein taking the bold stance of "all dummies are evil and haunted"
I’m now caught up on all the GooseDrunks episodes and I am sad.
I’m starting to think you call the end of every chapter “a cliffhanger.” I respect the hustle for another sip
It's an R L Stine book, I don't know that he can end a chapter without a cliffhanger.
35:25 Lol, sudden cat :P
"That's the thing about ventriloquist dummies, they can wear anything and they're still ventriloquist dummies."
-You heard it first here, folks.
Goosebumps- more cliffs than a national park!
I think that in my elementary school brain I conflated this story with the Are You Afraid of the Dark episode about clowns. (And yes, I am afraid of the dark).
These videos are really weird but I like them. It's like storytime with a drunk person. Good times.
Ok.did anybody see that movie from the 1970s called "magic" about a living ventriloquist dummy? Its not for kids at all, butit does have the little know actor anthony hoppkins in it.
I mean it wasn't actually alive, but yes
When the audio desyncs later on in the video it really adds to you being inebriated xD
I’m low key so into this
this series is great because i'd never read a goosebumps book but like y'know with the morbid curiosity and all I wanna know what happens
hey i looked it up and RL was NOT the first kardashian i am unfollowing and reporting for misinformation
So Slappy was alive to begin with and Mr. Wood originally wasn't. BUT that also means Slappy was jealous of Mr. Wood when Mr. Wood was nothing but an inanimate object. Slappy needs therapy to address his deep-seated insecurities.
More like Night of the Living YOU!
Oh! Sick burn! **high fives**
36:20 snappy or .. slappy
Good more of you content its few and far between.👌🏽👌🏽👍🏽 i hope the beginning next month I would like to join your patraeon page😀
I never read Goosebumps but I love these.
When you're done with them you could start Drunk Game of Thrones. (Everytime something horrible happens you take a drink. Patreon could pay for your new liver.)
Awesome video, can I make a suggestion that you look at the camera a little bit more. I know you have the script you wrote I personally just find it oddly off-putting lol. But your videos are great
Grindolf :D there’s no script, I’m just making eye contact with myself because I’m drunk and vain
Bailey Meyers , impressive I'd have trouble talking with that fluidity without a script
i have that glass!
so glad i Googled drunk chicks reading books' this morning.
I hate dummies. But, lowkey, love this.
Please do The Haunted Mask!
A lot of the protagonists have two story houses.
Typical American dream house. If you look at the episode of Night of The Living Dummy 2, the exterior and in the painting Sarah makes its a one storey house, but Amy's room is upstairs....lol, like, what
After watching this video i was thinling that youd be a fun mom. Also i read your sweat shirt, did you work there? 😊
Oh man, I hope this doesn’t awaken something in me... 30:12
3:38
Well, we know who didn't grow up with the joys of Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, The many Muppet Movies, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, Gremlins, Little Shop of Horrors, The original Star Wars Trilogy, Critters, Tremors, MST3K or The Nightmare Before Christmas.

_Eighteen_ year olds didn't know _The Princess Bride??_ That's easily one of the most meme-able movies ever made, how is that possible??
She's talking specifically about ventriloquisg dummies though nobody liked those
I didn't like puppets as a 12 year-old, well not really anyway.
real takj, her cat seems needy lol
ColdBrew Gaming ok like you’re so perfect
Bailey Meyers wasnt so much as an insult, thought it was cute
it wasn't nice what you said about jim henson here
I loved the yawn... have you ever thought of sharing some of your own stories?
!✨⚡👻👻WOOO! IMA GHOSTS! AND I HAVE COME BACK TO SUPPORT THIS VID! GR8 VID! 👻👻💜✨⚡!
Im mediocre to bad. at life. T_T
Flippy is worse than Slappy
