Spirit Halloween - SNL 

i was gonna say, what about the post-halloween clearance sale?

After we sell as much as we can at 50% off Nov 1st and 2nd.

Yeah swifties are gonna get pissed 1:58

and stuff is on sale for one, maybe two days, lol. crazy

Boop! 😆

They could have capitalized on kids trashing the store and being a babysitter for them. lol

Damn, you just called me out 😂

@@arkwill14 take them to Waffle House at 3:30am in Kansas City. Now that's scary

And they have those crazy expensive “Ghostbusters” gargoyles that I really really really hope they still have!!! 🤞

Yes!!😂

They have a lot of licensed costumes and decorations too.

@@hawkeyebricks9905 sure, but they also have a lot "Archer with good vision" costumes.

Colombo over here

It's true. You can see all those trademarked characters on their website. ​@@hawkeyebricks9905

Came across ‘electric chinchilla’ the other day. Aka Pikachu 😂

You mean 6 weeks later. They close Nov 2 so peeps got to get ready for New Year's 🎉

True. There are a few states that allow fireworks for New Years and some of those abandoned storefronts turn into fireworks stores. The municipalities allow it in hopes the buildings will burn down to prevent future vandalism and homeless people living in them.

Or some place where kids meet Santa.

​@@crosslink1493 I'm actually shocked and impressed at the same time. Never occurred to me there maybe a hidden reason.

Isn't there some cheap Christmas store that comes and goes? I forget what it's called.

And you were made manager by end of shift

And that’s why America has always been great

Exploitation! I mean... america!

@@mattg6975 Nah it was easily the best job I've ever had

​@@Nootle-mb2ooYou're 15. EVER for you is nothing to a grown up.

The original CEO, or Spencer's Gifts which bought Spirit Halloween in 1999?

They really are a sucky business tho.

He probably hated it because it wasn't very funny. For a comedy sketch, it lacked comedy and was more depressing than anything else

It's an honor to be spoofed on SNL. The CEO should be grateful. What a wanker.

I just fact-checked this. Their Twitter called SNL an irrelevant 50-year-old show with unknown actors. Instead of taking a joke they got butthurt over the skit.

The girl was great in her small role. I hope to see her join the cast for season 75.

Funniest line 😂😂😂

Oh, look, you quoted dialogue from the skit. How clever of you.

​@@andrewvelonis5940apparently that triggered you

Boop!

Yeah, it's crazy how accurate it is.

Yeah, what's it supposed to be a knockoff of? Oompa-loompas? Just a guess on my part.

That’s the name of my second solo album!

​@@andrewvelonis5940There was a picture right on the package

I dont like the look of this🎵

As a current Spirit employee I agree.

I cannot put into words how much I miss Kmart. 😢

You can thank Eddie Lampert for destroying both Kmart and Sears.

@@utmichael2008 Easy to push blame but it came down to the simple fact that folks just don't go out like use to let alone shop at a big box store

It’s close for me. The Spirt Halloween was in the same are as the Kmart I used to work at, several buildings down.

Probably to ask for a job 😂

It was so sad (in a funny way)

I think people also go there if they want to be scare actors for their local haunt that isn’t quite the same quality as Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights.

Shop or get a job there. Either one works. And that's Emil Wakim as the guy who lost his bookstore. He's SNL's newest cast member (alongside Ashley Padilla and Jane Wickline), the first SNL cast member to be from Lebanon, the second male Middle Eastern cast member after Aristotle Athari (who I still miss. Like Chloe Troast, Athari was underused as screwed over during his only season on SNL), and the third Middle Eastern cast member overall (joining Nasim Pedrad and Aristotle Athari).

@@canaisyoung3601or perhaps……… murder.

they just wanted their lick back which was even better 😂

Not really when they’re criticizing the quality of the merchandise. spirit has grown a lot over the years and their stuff is high quality. They have a lot of licensed stuff too.

They're mad?

​@@HandleNameIsStupid Yup. spirit called SNL 50 year old irrelevant show.

@@HandleNameIsStupid Yeah the CEO of Spirit Halloween actually came out and fired shots at SNL over this sketch lol

streisand effect

Had to look that one up@@nikushim6665 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

@@lens_hunter I know that Halloween started in Ireland but you know how there's like two ways to look at Halloween here in America? (Is this happening in Ireland too?) One where it's focused on being the "eve of all hallows" and mocking evil before the Catholic holy day on November first - like cutesy mocking- trick or treating in ghost costumes and playing some little tricks or pranks (harmless) or the other where people act like they are embracing and celebrating evil- decorating their homes and dressing with evil and grotesque over-the-top decorations and costumes? Spirit Halloween is way more the second type- plus all their stuff is the cheapest made-in-China garbage (I can't imagine what those Chinese workers are thinking while they're making that stuff- probably wondering what's wrong with us.) that we refuse to buy. Party City is one tiny step ahead of them- and only because they're not fly-by-night.

I guess it’s cheaper than going to the movies

@@samwiseg7380 There's no such thing as "cutesy mocking", it's just mocking lol

Might be that she is a witch who has forgotten the way.........better hope she doesn't find it, my wife did 🤕

@@kickmuncher3 cutesy mocking is baby ghost costumes, It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, and The Munsters. Regular mocking is actually scary (not grotesque, vulgar, and occult) while in the spirit of knowing there's nothing to fear under the protection of God.

That's where our Spirit is!

Oh wow same. 😳

And Big Lots lol

Ours is too lol

@@IdoNomb Huh, our Big Lots is also going out of business...

have you seen the link costumes they have now? that and the mario ones(can relate as a sales associate)

It Spirit Halloween

at least now the murder is on theme

😂😂😂

George's Hideaway Bar 🍸 in metro Orlando.gov had a double homicide late 2000s. The owners cleared away some 🌲🌲🌲 and shrubs. Now it's safer! 🙁

You weren’t hinting at a certain defunct fictional pizzeria chain, were you?

Fingers crossed!!

Mar-a-Lago, too!

And your home will be filled with not-so-friendly illegals 😅

Not happening loser

From your lips to God’s ears.

It could also be Britney spears, Hillary duff or Hannah Montana.

@@KateIeronimo They are all interchangeable aren't they?

@@boboloko Yes, with the correct surgery, sorry I don't think I understood your comment.

@@danielreed5199 they all make formulaic bland pop for the masses. They are interchangeable

I remember when I wanted to be “Blue Speed Mouse”, but also wanted to be “Turtle-Crushing Italian Plumber Guy”. Fun times!

Wow you’ve identified the joke! Good job!

And accurate..

Yes! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

The look on the girl 👧🏻 s face‼️😆😂🤣

*1:58

I almost clicked off early😂😂😂😂 it was worth the wait 😭😭😭😭😭

CONGRATS 🎉

Except they completely destroy anything left before tossing it into a dumpster, thry make sure you can't use it

its a compactor not a dumpster fyi

if u go in u will literally die

Yep! Drove by a Spirit Rite Aid earlier today!

Where do you think they got the idea for this skit?

Congratulations; you got the joke.

Man they’re getting smarter every year 😂

They took over a Taqueria that was shut down but the health dept

for 6 weeks! 👻👻👻

😂

What is there a spirit Halloween in Paramus, New Jersey? That is open pretty much all the time. Even when it’s not October.

Rt when I said to myself it's hilarious cause it's true I saw your comment lmao

All this junk will be going soon!!

Its more like 6-10 weeks but yeah

Yeah but it wasn't funny. The jokes fell flat

@@alexh8613 says YOU , I personally thought it was Perfect

@@alexh8613 Agreed, SNL isn't half what it used to be. Bland

@@Filmation77 I loved it, too!

Only the crappy off-brand licensed character costumes and the fog machines. You have to go and buy fog from them the next year, that’s why they seem like they’re single-use. Not that a fog machine from Lowe’s or whatever is any better.

he's got a weird pinched munch mouth affectation going on

Waffle House cornrows Mikey Day will always be my favorite

Mightbe gay

@@gordonrettmann8302no one cares.

That's Ashley Padilla, one of the newbie cast members. She does look like him, though. I can see why you'd think that it'd be him. EDIT: I've been told that that's actually Jane Wickline, who is also one of the newbie cast members this year (it's her, Ashley Padilla, and Emil Wakim, replacing Punkie Johnson, Molly Kearney, and Chloe Troast, who IMO, should have stayed on).

@@canaisyoung3601no, that’s Jane Wickline, also a new cast member but she had a decent following on her tiktok, probably how she got picked up.

@@canaisyoung3601 It’s Jane Wickline

Yeah, I was going to correct that. My bad. But my point remains valid: Jane Wickline looks like Elliott Page, kinda. It's the haircut. ​@@eraserheadchicken

@@canaisyoung3601 Oh, definitely! I did a double take when she popped up, and I haven’t seen Jane since I deleted tt years ago so I didn’t clock her at first either way.

Saw that! 🤣🤣

For the second year in a row, they’ve set up in what used to be a Party City on my route home from work. I think that building is going to be empty all but 6 weeks out of the year, for the rest of time. lol

And rude af

What is HR gonna do, put you on a six-week employee corrective action period lol

Your mama. 😊

All the Spirit Halloween cashiers I’ve encountered are nice & not creepy!

@@jessicagerard1380 he is just upset that none of them would kiss him

I know, right?!

"depiction" , thems facts 😅

was it really for only six weeks?

So what does the company do the rest of the year

@@icantollie hunt for a store the closes by August. But before september

Why is that? Because of the managers, or because of the customers?

@@georgethompson3763 everyday kids from the local middle/high schools would come in and want to try 10 costumes each, take a bunch of selfies and leave, which wouldn’t be bad if it didn’t take so long to put them back in the costume bags while helping customers at the same time. It was always hectic. Otherwise the worst part was that you work the most on the days around Halloween and it’s really hard to get the actual Halloween holiday off, so if you’re working there because you love Halloween, you won’t actually be able to celebrate yourself. I should have realized that before I applied 🤣

Because SNL is the king and queen of fake commercials that have real truth to them, like that Macy's one about kids' winter clothes or the one that treats having COVID like it's a ticket to get out of everything that stresses you out about life.

Besides the animatronics in the background

@PumpkinHallows_Official I'm going to assume they were stolen from Loew's. Or part of the decorations and not for sale.

I saw a David S. Pumpkins costume in Spirit Halloween, tweaked just enough to avoid a lawsuit.

@@3rdDimensionV4 It's called "Adult Jack-O-Lantern Suit".

And 100% of it manufactured in China

They even set up shop... in the ocean!

I wonder how many people clean them after using them... like the instructions say to do! 😆

@@WaltDittrich Fair point! I did not clean mine…whoops!

Yeah, especially if it's candy.

Adults be going to get discounted cop, nurse, and French maid costumes.

They didn’t need to diss Spirit’s costumes like that. At least they’re not Temu! 😂

Wait, ghostly wallowing? 😂 You mean ghostly WAILING? Wallowing is what wild animals do in mud when it’s blisteringly hot outside.

Or BABiES "R" US

😂😂😂 My city's Spirit Halloween store is a former Old Navy building that caught fire a few years back. Our old Kmart building is now a Uhaul storage center. 😂

One in town is in a old Michael's craft store, and another one in a shuttered Sears.

Lmao 😭😭

"What the **** am I looking at?!?"

@@gorlomimargheriti8870 the consequences of our actions

@@gorlomimargheriti8870 a jester with social anxiety, Which is not accurately portrayed in the photo. And all this character wants to do is just escape the digital circus and go back to the real world

@@omarolmosstudios7060 I know who the character is; I was just quoting something she said in one of her appearances

Them jeans in the background too

So youre not allowed to talk to kids eh?

@@DurhamG-q3o 🤣🤣🤣

Love how fitting it is that your screen name is commenting on this video.

I had a buddy about 15 years ago be a manager for one for the year. He loved it. Said the pay was damn good and it'd look good on a resume. He runs several Lowe's stores now so he moved up.

@@lens_hunter I've been putting "sales consultant" on my resume. And I didn't do the job for the money, I did it for fun and the discount, so I can't judge if the pay was good.

Christmas tree lot, I assume.

The Spirit Halloween in my town this year is in the same location as last year! A former Tuesday Morning. I was kinda bummed when I saw that it was gonna be in the same place. 😂

@@jessicagerard1380 The Spirit in my town had been in the same location for 3 years, but during this Summer, a Rally House opened at that location. When I saw that, I had a Sherlock Holmes moment. “Ahhhh … the game is afoot.”

Yeah. This year. Next year may vary.

You guys should change your name to Christmas Spirit the day after Halloween, sell Christmas stuff and stay in business until the end of the year.

@@georgethompson3763if only you knew..

Learn how to budget instead of bitching about a man who does commie

He is not wrong....read up on economics/ government spending....

Still facing 40 year high prices on food, electricity, rent, insurance and so on

"We Budget for this" lmao yeah let your kids starve, lapse on your utilities, for-go medicine prescriptions just so you can buy the newest Animatronic and those nifty Beetlejuice Throw Blankets!

​@@sl-te2xhhighest spending in US history was under Trump and his mismanagement of the pandemic skyrocketed inflation. His billionaire friends thrived off of everyone's hardships though, so I guess his objective was successful.

That's one in an abandoned mental ward where I live. 💯

Can't come soon enough!

Not likely loser

Why?

He really could win again and youll only have yourselves to blame. But youre all in such a bubble you wont.

@@justinmj6586 You might want to check your own bubble. It appears to be missing apostrophes.

Fr that’s what I’m saying 😂

You know a company can sell merchandise to different distributors

They probably shot this before any Spirt Halloween was open

Spirit Halloween has its own stuff. You’re not going to see it at Lowe’s or Home Depot.

They stole them.

Kmart ❣️❣️❣️

Everything does.

​@@Scipio488Isn't that the truth.

I do, too partially because they pop up in the middle of nowhere.

How perfect is that!? Talk about scary...
