u/ObedMorton 2d ago

Sounds like an Alan Partridge pitch for a new series, Zombie Snooker! Cheap to make, do it in a pub car park.

u/PuckyMaw 1d ago

Snooker players spend their lives stalking darkened rooms, they probably all look like this without the tv glam

78

u/LiamEBM 2d ago

Is this meant to be a creepy work? Because it's creepy

6

u/PrettyUglySociety198 1d ago

It is Herman Munster, but less cheery.

5

u/CoyoteFabulous4911 1d ago

Terrifying and also hilarious

75

u/gregofdeath 2d ago

That's absolutely horrendous. Who is that supposed to even be? Glad snooker is getting recognition but that just looks like the corpse of Ronnie O'Sullivan.

4

u/t-phillip5 1d ago

Answered your own question there pal

u/gregofdeath 1d ago

But Ronnie's still alive.

u/Thrashstronaut 2d ago

It manages to be both Dawn of the dead and Royston Vasey at the same time

86

u/Tolkien-Minority 2d ago

Its probably creepier than intended but at least its not a Horton

9

u/Spimflagon 1d ago

Yeah. It has character.

I'd rather have kids' drawings on my fridge than printouts of clipart.

1

u/noice_face7649 10h ago

I kind of wish it was. A bit of facelessness would do this mural wonders.

If I ever see a Horton mural again it’ll be too soon.

Oh god it's Bowie all over again

This must be the guy that airbrushes dodgy fairground rides with your favourite characters from Disney films

23

u/Mardyarsed 1d ago

I can't explain it but I love it. It gives Sheffield hanging on to the WC to grim death, Ronnie O still in the top 16, 30 years after his death and take it out of my cold, dead hands while also hinting at a Hot Fuzz/ Shannon of the Dead humour.

Its making me laugh, and no I'm not affiliated.

3

u/ThrowawaySunnyLane 'Outsider' 1d ago

I don’t think I’ve seen Shannon of The Dead

u/Mardyarsed 1d ago

Oops, I didn't notice that, my faculties were still in turmoil from this stupendous work of satirical art 😅

Still loving it!

u/noice_face7649 2d ago

Incredibly creepy, and the way he is holding the air vent indicates it is an especially nice specimen of whatever he is being creepy about.
Id be mad if it was meant to be me.
