I used to love that game, but it always scared the c**p out of me when it would snap shut! Also, since it was technically my older sister's, she would never let me set up the game (putting all the teeth pegs in place). This was also true for Mouse Trap, which would take like an hour to set up but man that was a cool game! Games from the 90s were ridiculous and great.

Okay. I'm gonna get downvoted for saying this, but I feel like this is a bit disrespectful to the original artist. Making art is to express feelings or thoughts (or other reasons, whatever floats your boat) and adding silly, unrelated things to the original painting ruins it. It's unnecessarily altering a fine piece of original art.
400% this. Although some of these are pretty cool and I would print them out to hang them up in my room lol
Load More Replies...Some of these are funny but.. This pretty tasteless. If you want art like this, do it yourself. If you're going to buy paintings, respect them and the artist. If not, leave them for someone who will give them the respect they deserve. There's no need to buy beautiful paintings and then deface them for internet points instead of allowing them to be bought by people who will appreciate the art for what it is.
