* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: The short was fairly controversial upon release, but most people watching it today probably aren't going to be particularly scared or scandalised by something this lighthearted and silly.

* WatchItForTheMeme: the short is a mildly noteworthy bit of animation history on its own, but it owes most of its wider fame these days to the above-mentioned "Spooky Scary Skeletons".

* CreepyCute: Many people find the skeletons cute due to their expressions and dancing, yet are also creeped out by their design and some moments in the cartoon, such as the one where a skeleton [[EatTheCamera eats the camera.]]

* EarWorm: All of the music you hear in the short, especially the "''Troldtog''" (See PublicDomainSoundtrack on the main page) adaptation.

* MemeticMutation: Scenes from this short are often used in conjunction with the “Spooky Scary Skeletons” song.

* AccidentalNightmareFuel: Especially when a skeleton flies at the screen and "eats" the camera; and when all the skeletons assemble together to form one composite being. Yecch.
** I'll say! That screen-flying made me scream, and I'm a twenty-two-year old man. If it makes grown men scream eighty years after it was made, it definitely qualifies.
** Or at the very beginning, when the skeleton fades away to a skull and crossbones. It's not ''meant'' to be creepy, but it is.
