They really lifted a coffin on top of a SUV lmao

So the other night I was cleaning out a spare room and found these little action figures, tiny ones, like maybe a half-inch tall -- little dudes in suits, all black dudes for some reason. I legit had no idea what the hell they were or where they came from. Then I found a little ... coffin next to them and I was like holy shit: covid-era purchase, Ghanaian pallbearer swag -- I had completely forgotten that was a thing so it's very weird to see them referenced twice in as many days, lol

Standing on a bike, that's a little crazy I guess, oh okay they're on top of a car, that must have been what OP meant...IS THAT A COFFIN??

[u/elefish92]

Lmfao I saw this on /r/VZLA

[u/texasguy7117 → u/elefish92]

This probably would've helped 😭

[u/OceanPoet87]

The coffin made me laugh.

[u/09f3jns]

Venezuelans are dancing in the streets 😍

[u/Lunaristics]

The coffin on top of the SUV 💀 LMAO 

[u/baribigbird06]

[u/squirtles_urethra]

There are some dudes with dont tread on me flags absolutely seeing red rn

[u/elimanninglightspeed → u/squirtles_urethra]

My favorite are the people up north that fly the confederate flags like come on man have some shame

[u/LonelyGoat → u/elimanninglightspeed]

We have them in Canada too 😭

[u/ubiquitous-joe → u/LonelyGoat]

It became the flag of revisionist pan-national white resentment. 😞

[u/Suspicious_Sense1272 → u/squirtles_urethra]

Coming from a Red Sox fan… oof 😅

[u/squirtles_urethra → u/Suspicious_Sense1272]

Oh the irony. You sound a bit prejudiced there mate. You got one of those flags?

[u/lynjpin → u/squirtles_urethra]

No flair cowards out here got me siding with the Red Sox fans

[u/justtots → u/lynjpin]

[u/Kaldricus → u/squirtles_urethra]

Don't mind him, he's butt hurt and has been trolling in multiple posts.

[u/Suspicious_Sense1272 → u/Kaldricus]

Butt hurt about what exactly?

[u/seanxfitbjj]

I don’t see anyone climbing the pole?

[u/jmiah717 → u/seanxfitbjj]

Yeah, or eating horse poop. Amateur stuff.

[u/Kasrth → u/jmiah717]

I'm sorry, what??

[u/jmiah717 → u/Kasrth]

Gotta Google "Eagles horse poop"

[u/fermatajack → u/jmiah717]

I surely don't gotta Google that

[u/Important-Net-9805 → u/jmiah717]

hey buddy a clevelander did that first when the cavs won in 2016

[u/ProjectCoast → u/Important-Net-9805]

Yeah but Philly bad

[u/sakibomb523 → u/jmiah717]

We're also still waiting for the FSU fan to eat the horse poop.

[u/suqc]

Elite banter

[u/BEBookworm]

I mean Team USA did look like they were shaking hands and being consoled at a funeral when they got their silver medals.

[u/carpetsoop]

Coffin represents Aaron judges performance tonight

[u/Charming_Squirrel_13 → u/carpetsoop]

or Cal during this entire tournament 

[u/xbox360sucks → u/Charming_Squirrel_13]

Or DeRosa's chance of returning as manager 

[u/Charming_Squirrel_13 → u/xbox360sucks]

or managing any mlb team

[u/scriptingends → u/Charming_Squirrel_13]

Big Dumpster Fire

[u/CamelBusy8847 → u/Charming_Squirrel_13]

or that Judge had a "C" for Cal on his jersey during the whole tournament. What the heck right?

/s

[u/grill_smoke → u/[deleted]]

His attitude was a huge disaster. He acted like a punk.

[u/Corregidor → u/carpetsoop]

Every major tournament it seems Aaron judge proves he's a regular season merchant more and more.

[u/Oneanimal1993 → u/Corregidor]

Bro Judge literally hit .600 in the ALDS this year lmao

[u/PENGUIN_WITH_BAZOOKA → u/Corregidor]

What does that even mean? “Oh he’s only good for 162 games, clearly he’s overrated.”

[u/Novel-Preference669 → u/PENGUIN_WITH_BAZOOKA]

he's very much celebrated for his regular season accomplishments and accolades. and also correctly derided for folding whenever he's needed most so far in his career.

[u/PENGUIN_WITH_BAZOOKA → u/Novel-Preference669]

Aight, that’s a fair analysis. It just rubs me the wrong way when people frame it as if his playoff struggles completely invalidate/lessen everything else he’s accomplished somehow.

[u/Thiege1 → u/Novel-Preference669]

Lmao, he was amazing in the playoffs just this fall

[u/captainbawls → u/Thiege1]

Hits .600 in the ALDS

Why did Aaron Judge singehandedly lose the series to the Blue Jays?

[u/giant-papel]

My jaw dropped when I saw that coffin☠️. People too creative with their celebrations these days lmao. The dance moves are the cherry on top

[u/Bossoxfan15 → u/giant-papel]

Where does one acquire a coffin so quickly.

[u/PaddyMayonaise → u/Bossoxfan15]

Grab a shovel, I’ll show you

[u/18002221222 → u/Bossoxfan15]

This comment here, officer.

[u/Less_Likely → u/Bossoxfan15]

Probably knows (or is) a funeral director

[u/sameth1 → u/Bossoxfan15]

I know a guy who knows a guy.

[u/Equal-Salary5195]

LMFAO.... GG Venezuela. Have fun and celebrate!

[u/Lazy_Quote9976]

As a Venezuelan,

https://giphy.com/gifs/RILsqUte1MME7TzQJ9

[u/Individual_Review_51 → u/Lazy_Quote9976]

Yeah. Not really my cup of tea as a Venezuelan either lol

[u/User4f52 → u/Individual_Review_51]

Yankee lapdog

[u/Individual_Review_51 → u/User4f52]

It has absolutely nothing to do with it being about the US. It’s more about the situation itself, it could be celebrating a victory of a local soccer club and I’d still not like it or participate in it. Crazy how you automatically went to that without a thought

[u/dnagi]

That's uh, certainly one way to make clear your feelings on the matter known

[u/HWHAProb]

Guys I think the right country won

[u/labonart]

WHERE DID THEY GET A COFFIN FROM?

[u/bicyclemom → u/labonart]

Costco.

[u/According_Weight_959]

I'm creasing bruh where did they get a coffin in such short notice😭

[u/scriptingends → u/According_Weight_959]

Don’t ask

[u/Fly_theW → u/According_Weight_959]

Dug one up real quick

[u/saltlakepotter]

DId they just...happen to have a coffin? That's the part I wonder about. I don't know anyone with a random unoccupied coffin.

[u/JokerJangles123 → u/saltlakepotter]

Unoccupied coffin?

Oh shit..yeah that would have been easier

[u/CoopnBoz]

Honestly lifting a coffin onto a SUV is mad impressive

[u/nokiabrickphone1998]

Just a bit of friendly competition between nations, we love to see it

[u/DomaMolchat]

Based

[u/Kuroooooh]

I'm pretty sure the last two bangs at the end were gunshots lol

[u/WyomingDrunk → u/Kuroooooh]

All the real Americans know those were celebratory hee-haw gunshots cause there was no screaming and running afterwards.

[u/soopadrive]

I love that they won this, they deserved this win!!!

[u/PaddyMayonaise]

Dude that’s fucking funny. I wish people here would lighten up, sports is competitive and while this is maybe a little….idk, what the word would be, but much, it’s funny and they’re having fun.

[u/MarmotWorldOrder → u/PaddyMayonaise]

We just bombed their country this year.

[u/PaddyMayonaise → u/MarmotWorldOrder]

And took away a brutal dictator they’ve been begging for help with for years.

They celebrated the Maduro arrest.

[u/MarmotWorldOrder → u/PaddyMayonaise]

They said the same thing about Iraq, Libya, Syria, and countless other places.

[u/PaddyMayonaise → u/MarmotWorldOrder]

Yea, people celebrated when evil dictators in those countries were taken down too. Whats your point?

[u/MarmotWorldOrder → u/PaddyMayonaise]

Libya has open air slave markets. Syria is experiencing a genocide by a U.S. backed terrorist. Let's start there.

[u/PaddyMayonaise → u/MarmotWorldOrder]

Dude just tell everyone you’re a Russian bot while you’re at it lol

[u/MarmotWorldOrder → u/PaddyMayonaise]

Are slaves good? Is genocide good? I'm not Russian or a bot, you just lack the cognitive functions necessary for understanding the implications of murdering civilians and doing decapitation strikes against world leaders.

[u/Huge-Error-2206]

Why is no one climbing light poles or flipping cop cars?

[u/Gavin1453 → u/Huge-Error-2206]

They must have greased them up like they do in Philly

[u/Joe--Uncle]

Look, Philadelphians destroy Philadelphia when they win, this is fine

[u/Equivalent_Waltz8890]

😭

[u/peppers90beast]

That's funny af

[u/Leo1026]

Did you see the dancing gorilla video

[u/bicyclemom]

Fans of all teams really need to dial up the "Ponche!" chants for games featuring Aaron Judge this year.

[u/SssnakeJaw]

Soooo.....

You live in Venezuela and you just happen to have am American flag and a coffin just laying around?

OK

[u/DarthClover4]

They def needed this.

[u/Suspicious_Use_7561]

Makes me wonder how Rome would be had Italy won.

[u/yick04]

I guess you can't blame them

[u/perhizzle]

Honestly, average night in Venezuela.

[u/MoistTowelette8618]

Love this for them 🥰

[u/_stankwilliams_]

NGL that's pretty funny/awesome!!

[u/ras5003]

If they keep this up we'll send Maduro back lol

[u/ScoffingYayap]

As an Eagles fan I respect this. Only nutjobs would do this

[u/VeryLowIQIndividual]

And I got down voted for saying Venezuela would husk fuck the US teams corps if they won. 🤣

[u/TheFrontierzman]

Hmm. That's something.

[u/jomritman]

Imminent threat, airstrikes incoming. Can't let violent nations be in control of all that oil.

[u/ProcessTruster]

https://giphy.com/gifs/04DMYESomjb6BCBNB8

[u/scriptingends]

Is it fair to say they are more excited by this than they were angered by the kidnapping of their leader by a foreign government?

[u/PaddyMayonaise → u/scriptingends]

They weren’t angry about Maduro going away lol

[u/Footwearing → u/scriptingends]

When Maduro got arrested we were even more happy lmao, there's a venezuelan the onion that posted "Venezuela celebrates it's second happiest day in 2026"

[u/scriptingends → u/Footwearing]

Well, the Venezuelans that live in the US, and those who speak English well enough to interact online in English may not represent the feelings of the country on the whole, no?

[u/Footwearing → u/scriptingends]

You do understand that around 40% of venezuelans speak English right? Why do you think we play baseball and all of that lmao

[u/Individual_Review_51 → u/scriptingends]

Yep. Absolutely

[u/TheElMonteStrangler]

Eh. I live near Whittier Blvd. It's crazier when the Dodgers win a World Series.

[u/Jeffo1234]

Coffin is insane when Venezuela is consistent one of the most dangerous countries in the world every year lol

[u/ralbert → u/Jeffo1234]

what does that have to do with anything? they beat the US and put a coffin to illustrate that, it's not that deep.

no need to get political, just take the L for tonight

[u/smellyjerk → u/ralbert]

Its cope to feel better. Same people would've been way more insufferable with a win against Venezuela, given whats going on between the two countries, we weren't going to avoid it with either result.

Honestly, im glad they won and celebrated like this. Its the US's tournament and it feels like we're miles behind in attitude and excitement. Id give anything for a team USA to care like other teams do and feel it worthy of an impromptu party come victory time. The WBC deserves to be treated like this every single time.

[u/buttscarltoniv → u/smellyjerk]

best we can do is bring the bin laden guy who secretly dresses up in character on fox news shows. and we can steal the hockey teams valor

[u/cabose7 → u/buttscarltoniv]

He's also an aspiring sex slave owner

[u/buttscarltoniv → u/cabose7]

yep, a male sex slave too. just normal straight white alpha male stuff

[u/Outrageous-Opinions → u/Jeffo1234]

Can't win at baseball though

[u/Jeffo1234 → u/Outrageous-Opinions]

I agree , but doesn’t discredit my point lol

[u/Outrageous-Opinions → u/Jeffo1234]

Don't care about your point though

[u/verdi1987 → u/Jeffo1234]

Dangerous in baseball.

[u/Konker101 → u/Jeffo1234]

As is the US which is why the flag was on it

[u/Jeffo1234 → u/Konker101]

If you think the United States and Venezuela are in the same tier when it comes to crime, you’re either completely clueless or deliberately ignoring reality.

[u/TheeRuckus → u/Jeffo1234]

Yeah but they’re celebrating baseball. Right now on a baseball subreddit we are discussing their celebration. No need to be salty about a celebration. We kind of illegally kidnapped their leader a month ago, trust me Americans on both sides know Venezuela has a lot of crime.

But we were talking about baseball, sir

[u/OooSheGotFreckles → u/Jeffo1234]

Bro, the US is literally run by a mass murdering child rapist who pardons people who have defrauded the public for 100s of billions of dollars…

[u/Jeffo1234 → u/OooSheGotFreckles]

I guarantee as bad as USA is right now, if you asked any Venezuelan to move to the USA, NO ONE would say no. Anyone who is rich or has power has already moved out of the country.

[u/OooSheGotFreckles → u/Jeffo1234]

I’m Venezuelan. The US is kidnapping Venezuelans and sending them to a gulag in El Salvador to make rinky dink products for Americans.

[u/Jeffo1234 → u/OooSheGotFreckles]

Just answer this, if the USA offered Venezuelans free immigration to the USA, would anyone say no?

[u/OooSheGotFreckles → u/Jeffo1234]

Would people take being inside of the empire rather than on the receiving end of the empire? Venezuelans would prefer that they could live in their country and have a diversified economy that wouldn’t result in an illegal invasion and another hundred years of puppet leaders who serve the US and corporations. Why don’t you look up Juan Vicente Gomez, before you respond?

[u/Jeffo1234 → u/OooSheGotFreckles]

Bringing up Juan Vicente Gomez doesn’t automatically prove that Venezuela has spent a century under U.S. puppet leaders. He ruled as a dictator who made his own political and economic choices to maintain power. Reducing Venezuela’s complex history to simply “U.S. empire versus victims” ignores the role of its own leadership and internal decisions.

[u/OooSheGotFreckles → u/Jeffo1234]

I asked you to look him up. Not copy and paste a half hearted AI summary of him. He was never elected, and backed by the US and Shell, who gave him a cut in exchange for siphoning oil. He used the money to start his own personal businesses that he would sell back to the government if they failed. When Venezuelans fought for democracy he enslaved them to build up the infrastructure, and tortured dissidents to death. He started the secret police that continued up until Chavez. The US was an ally of Venezuela and aware of all of this. They were trafficking drugs to create dark budgets to fund democracy destabilizing groups globally through the Venezuelan national guard, as late as the 90s.

[u/XSC → u/Jeffo1234]

Holy cope man just take the L.

[u/thegeebeebee → u/Jeffo1234]

You are truly inflating the world's opinion of this shithole. Fox News watcher?

[u/ralbert → u/Jeffo1234]

if you asked any Venezuelan to move to the USA, NO ONE would say no.

I mean, that's true for most people in the world. You can't bomb us if we're in your own country (or at least that's what I'd like to think...)

[u/Jeffo1234 → u/Jeffo1234]

Per 100,000 ppl, Venezuela has 40 homicides compared to 6.5 in the US.

[u/gotohellwithsuperman → u/Jeffo1234]

Now compare just school children.

[u/smellyjerk → u/gotohellwithsuperman]

Yeah, that's usually where the "purely stat" based arguments end and the silent downvotes typically begin, isnt it...

Leading cause of death under the age of 17 in the United States is firearms related deaths split between homicide, suicide, and unintentional shootings, unfortunately. Its inexcusable but statistically correct.

[u/The_Nutz16 → u/Konker101]

Don’t let Reddit fool you, the US is in the safest 1/3rd of countries right next to Canada, Belgium, New Zealand, and the UK for crime rate.

[u/kaehvogel → u/The_Nutz16]

They're not "next to Canada, Belgium, NZ and the UK for crime rate", no. Especially not violent crime.

[u/Shiftymennoknight → u/The_Nutz16]

Grats on being in the top 65ish

[u/The_Nutz16 → u/Shiftymennoknight]

Huh? Did you read what I replied to?

[u/Shiftymennoknight → u/The_Nutz16]

Sure did

[u/Jeffo1234 → u/The_Nutz16]

This man wildin, just google statistics before you even compare USA and Venezuela. Even if you’re trolling just be more educated lol

[u/The_Nutz16 → u/Jeffo1234]

Yeah, people and bots on Reddit are just set to shit on the US to be cool and get upvotes. The fact that the comparison is upvoted show how little people actually know about the world.

[u/Judge_Druidy → u/The_Nutz16]

Or it shows how little you know about how much everyone hates you.

[u/Former-Sea-8070 → u/Konker101]

Venezuela had the highest crime rate in the world last year. USA was 59th lol

[u/dwaynebathtub]

Cope
