Sims 4 monster under the bed series#

TurboTax did a series of commercials invovling seemingly scary monsters who turn out to be rather friendly.

And then a real monster comes out from under the bed, but apparently isn't there to scare him and observes that the kid must be stressed over something else.

When they've left, Flo comes out of his closest and says she was just checking his wiring. A Progressive Insurance commercial has a little kid calls for his parents in the night because he's scared but they assure him that there's no monsters hiding under his bed or in the closest, and he says that they said 'they're always watching' but they clarify that they were talking about 24/7 protection from Progressive and leave him in the dark.A Polaroid commercial sees a boy use the titular camera to try and prove that there's no monster under the bed.The narrator informs us that the real monsters aren't under the bed or in the closet. A little boy looks under his bed and at his closet, seeing cartoon monsters. One PSA against child abuse uses this with a darker twist.Whatever the case, if you're a child about to go to bed at night, especially one that's been bad. In the end, so little about him is known that he may be the most mysterious monster ever conjured up by the human imagination. His moral alignment can shift from a vicious predator to a benign being or at least one who supplies the world with its fear in order to prevent something worse from happening. But so little about the Boogeyman is fixed that it can make his role as the embodiment of terror itself all the more effective. With most legendary spectres, from Dracula to the Headless Horseman, their appearance, modus operandi, backstory and so forth are known. But the Boogeyman? Nothing.ДЄll of which perhaps makes him even scarier: how much mystery there is to this entity. Even The Grim Reaper and Satan have stereotypical appearances: a robed skeleton wielding a scythe and a red-skinned humanoid demon king with horns, a pitchfork, and a spaded tail. He almost never looks the same, so if he has a true form, it's probably unknown, again, making him creepier. He can go from a green goblin man to a fuzzy pink beast to merely a pale man in black. What he does to the kids that he or his monsters 'get' is also rather inconsistent, ranging from simply frightening them and then leaving hem be all the way up to eating them.Д®ven his basic physical appearance is never consistent. If the latter, then the 'naughty' children may be depicted as champions of freedom. If the former, then it tends to result in a none-too-subtle aesop on why being a good little boy or girl is so important. Other times, he is a self-righteous flavor of monster. Sometimes, this makes him a benevolent force merely looking to rid the world of nasty kids. He or his monster friends may be content to show up in some level of light, so long as said light is as dimly-lit as can be.ДЄnd of course, while often he doesn't care who's naughty or nice and goes after all kids, another common component of his legend is that he targets only the naughty ones, such as brats and bullies, as punishment. His weaknesses also vary, though a common one is being repelled by light and/or needing to feed on the darkness in the farthest corners of your bedroom. You are almost really being told that you should fear him. So, when you're told not to be scared of the Boogeyman and that the only thing to fear is fear itself.

And sometimes, he may even be depicted as the physical incarnation of fear itself. Sometimes, he's the scariest of them all, and might be shown to be their leader.

He's also usually affiliated fear in general, and terrorizing children specifically. (See below under Mythology and Folklore) Sometimes there are several boogeymen, but usually, there's only one. The most infamous of these entities would be the one simply known as 'the Boogeyman.' (Also spelled 'Bogeyman,' 'Boogieman,' 'Boogey Man,', etc.) Who or what this entity is varies wildly with time and culture.
