Throwback Easter Bunny Photos That Make You Want To Skip The Holiday Altogether

When you think of the Easter Bunny, you think of someone dressed up in a fluffy, cute bunny costume who brings chocolate to your house and sits at the mall for small children to take pictures with.

Unfortunately, though, the bunny costumes aren't always as cute as we would like them to be, and sometimes they're downright terrifying. Chances are if you're a parent, you have at least one photo of your child crying with the Easter Bunny, and these parents were kind enough to share those moments with all of us.

On the count of three, we're all going to run in different directions and then he won't be able to kidnap any of us, okay? It's every man for himself right now.

We have a lot of questions for whoever thought it was a good idea to allow their children to go near an Easter Bunny—we use that term loosely—that looks like this, the main one being "why?"

We Want Nothing To Do With This One

This Peter Cottontail needs to stay far away from us and our children. Taking your children to see an Easter Bunny that looks like this one seems like more of a punishment than a reward.

That right there is the face of an Easter Bunny that feeds off the joy of the crying children that come to visit him, and this little guy fell right into his trap.

Would you want to be picked up by a giant animal that looks like this? The older siblings always luck out in these photos, because the person is obviously going to pick up the smaller child, so they get off scot-free.

No Wonder She's Crying

One of the kids got the short end of the stick here, and we're not surprised that they want to cry about it. Have you seen the eyes on that thing?

Why does this bunny look like he's trying to kidnap this child and drag her back to whatever hole in the ground he came out of that he calls his home?

This costume looks like it was put together out of other costumes, like it was created from the closet where other animal costumes go to die after they've retired or are too worn out to be used around children.

We're all for having a fun night out, but this bunny looks like he's having a rough morning and the last thing he wants is to be taking pictures with children who cry every time they look at him.

Whatever this creature is, it's not the Easter Bunny. The fact that this little girl isn't crying or screaming is amazing considering the creepy face on this "bunny" behind her.

Once one of your kids starts crying, it's inevitable that the other children are going to start to cry too. You've got get in, get your photo and get out, regardless of the tears.

The only way that we wouldn't be crying about having to sit on this creepy bunny's lap is if we hadn't seen him. Maybe her parents somehow managed to get her up there without her turning around to look at him...

When it comes to photos with the Easter Bunny, your kid probably isn't going to sit still for very long, so you better have that camera ready to go because you'll have approximately 3.2 seconds before they bolt.

There's Such A Thing As Being Too Realistic

The point of the Easter Bunny is that they're a cute fluffy animal that kind of looks like a cartoon character who brings chocolate to your children. No one wants this skeleton-looking bunny showing up in their house at night.

Lashes On Point

First of all, it looks like this bunny put her lashes on in the dark. Second of all, it's going to take a lot more than false lashes to make us less scared.

He'll Block Out This Memory

It's okay, he'll be fine, don't worry. Being traumatized by your parents when they take you to see the Easter Bunny is a rite of passage. You're giving him just enough trauma to make sure he's a funny adult.

Candy Can't Fix This

If you think a lollipop is going to fix this situation, you thought wrong, Mr. Easter Bunny! We don't take candy from strangers, and we certainly don't take it from bunnies that are holding us hostage.

This outfit looks like something you'd make out of an old towel at the last minute when you found out you have to go to a costume party for Halloween. It doesn't look like something you'd want your child to take a picture with.

This Easter Bunny looks more like Dr. Seuss' Lorax than an actual Easter Bunny, and it's still an off-brand Lorax, so we don't blame this little guy for being upset.

This bunny looks like she had a wild night out last night and didn't have any makeup remover on hand the next day, so she's just dealing with the smudged mascara. This little girl is not here for it.

We're not sure if this bunny is maniacally laughing or about to sneeze all over this little girl. By the look on her face, she isn't too sure about it either.

Feeling A Little Down?

Have you ever seen a more depressing looking Easter Bunny? No wonder he's blue instead of a normal bunny color. It's indicative of how he was feeling about his career as an Easter Bunny.

The Easter Elephant

Nothing about this costume says festive, fun, or child-friendly. The child looks mortified, and the Easter Bunny's eyebrows (since when do bunnies have eyebrows?) make him look angry and lopsided.
