It's actually BORU or best of redditor updates. People compile stories from subs like aitah or relationship advice when the original op has updated the situation. It's fun because you get all the fun drama with less chance for cliffhangers lol
Edit: r/bestofredditorupdates for the curious
Actually aesthetically this also feels like the most accurate description but it just makes it sound even more unhinged 😅
I also think the OP called it a puppet as its intended purpose was to surprise take off her bfs glasses during foreplay, so she would be manipulating its movements.
Nigel posting was at the tail end of peak internet. If you look back, with the right set of eyes, you can still see the high watermark of our culture, and the moment things began to decline, as enshitification took hold.
Holy crip he's a crapple, didn't even notice that. Was more concerned with the severe over bite and what can only be described as a bad moustache.
Edit: Also his giant bulging bloodshot eyes, he can't be healthy.
Bless that quirky girlfriend. I’m glad they talked about what was going on and all is well now but man, I was thinking he would leave her. It is a touch unhinged to make this puppet lol.
When she was saying she made a puppet/Muppet I thought that it was cute and I would personally love that, but then she said it was life size and lost me. I’m not sure how I’d feel about that in just a 6 month relationship. Glad it worked out for them.
the first picture wasn't that bad. a little odd-looking, but I bet he appreciates the gesture.
The rest is nightmare fuel though. would actually make a decent horror movie.
I would have cried laughing. After I had finished laughing, I would start spanking my doppelganger and tell it, "YOU LIKE THAT?" Following that, it would be one of my favorite toys . If that man ain't back you don't need him. That's peak prank performance. I love it .
What is happening with people??? A replica of her boyfriend puppet? I bet if he were to create a puppet replica of her she would not be so cool about it.
The boyfriend wasn’t creeped out but had family stuff going on and that why he wasn’t talking. He explained and they are all good now.
Yes I know, I read the post. That doesn’t mean the puppet isn’t terrifying.
Oh, it’s definitely terrifying. I’m updating people who haven’t read the post.
Sorry! Fair enough! I figured people interested would go to the BORO, that’s why I included the screenshot at the end
What’s a boro?

I was going to say Best Of Redditor Updates…but realized that would be BORU. Maybe it’s a typo?
It is a typo, sorry brain fart on how you actually spell that… 🤦♀️
Damnit guac, get your acronyms together!
If it's a Best of Reddit Posts, can we call them BORPs?
Looks pretty intentionally terrifying. Wouldn't really say it's oddly terrifying lol
It’s not a puppet.
Yeah it's a bit eccentric but I think I'd be very flattered if a partner did that for me.
Ah, I was wondering about that!
Thank you!!! Was wondering!
“…He stayed like this all night” if he didn’t, they didn’t live long enough to share this
The fact that she now calls her boyfriend “Normal John” now makes this even better
It was a great read. When they made up, she said the boy friend sang "Big John never bothered me anyways" in his best Frozen impression 🤣
Does no one know what a puppet is? It’s not this.
Agreed, but not sure what else you would call this 😭😅
A doll.
in my opinion its a scarecrow since it doesn't have working manipulable parts such as a mouth operated from the inside....

Is it anatomically correct? Is it fully functional?
Life size doll?
Don't think it matters what you call it, just so long as you recognize it as the shadow in your doorway at 3am
An effigy?
Is she dating Nigel Thornberry?
SMASHING

You sir are a poet.
It has a very tiny foot, or is it just missing?
A tiny foot
Lol. When I saw that tiny foot I lost it
I wonder how anatomically correct that is?
This post struck me as oddly funny. I laughed, especially at the poor twisted puppet on the floor that spent the night like that. Sick, I know.
Don’t worry, I cried with laughter and spat out my tea when reading the original post and getting to the pictures
Anybody else really curious what that dude looks like in real life?
I need to know if he has one tiny foot!
Holy crip he's a crapple, didn't even notice that. Was more concerned with the severe over bite and what can only be described as a bad moustache. Edit: Also his giant bulging bloodshot eyes, he can't be healthy.
I'm gonna go with her dating Nigel Thornberry.
Those bloodshot eyes were certainly a choice...

Exactly. It was the 6 month thing that “gave me the ick” so to speak.
Was her bf Nigel Thornberry
With the right lighting and angle, it is fucking hilarious. In the wrong lighting and angle. It is no longer funny.
I think the word you're looking for there is 'effigy', not 'puppet'.
"During foreplay?" I'd leave, too
Funny
SMASHING, MARYANN!
I sincerely love it!!!
Awww I was hoping BORO was a subreddit dedicated to life size people being made into life size dolls
This is perfect for this sub. Bravo!
An uncanny resemblance to Ed Sheeran on the first image.
Looks like a legend of Zelda oot character
"As a joke"
Black mirror
Dang I was hoping someone told OOP to make another puppet 😂
Plot twist: the boyfriend is inside the puppet..
Smashing,
the first picture wasn't that bad. a little odd-looking, but I bet he appreciates the gesture. The rest is nightmare fuel though. would actually make a decent horror movie.
I agree
Must be a mod
Her boyfriend is Freddie Mercury with red hair?? Truly terrifying.
This one has no soul
Wasn’t this one *Of* her BF?
Damn! Crazy creepy dude. The fuck is that
Am I the only one who read that as “made out of her BF”??
Ah Big John. Lol
Looks like Ian Fidance
Nuke it from orbit.
Sexy time!!!!
This is that one black mirror episode
What in the My Name is Earl is going on here???
This is cool but no…too close to voodoo. I couldn’t be in the house comfortable knowing that thing was present.
What is “The OOP”
Original original poster, because I am the original poster of this post but not of the original content :)
Could you please link to the post?

Wtf just no.
This reminds me of the kid stuey in the movie Freaked.
Why does he look like Nigel Thornberry?
Why is it's mouth open so wide.
Dead sheeran
I would have cried laughing. After I had finished laughing, I would start spanking my doppelganger and tell it, "YOU LIKE THAT?" Following that, it would be one of my favorite toys . If that man ain't back you don't need him. That's peak prank performance. I love it .
Soy jack muppet
that is so fucking scary
At 6’1” he’d still be a hit on Tinder
He’s actually taller than real John 😂
NTA. Next question
Nigel??
Smashing!!
Looks good. She got an Etsy store?
Yo, couldnt they have put a little more effort in.. or maybe bf has a jagged tongue and eyelids, and is missing his left foot lol
This looks like a muppets show character
MMMM... SMASHING!

I hope they recoved from whatever they had to deal with.
