Little bit of useless trivia. There was a comedian that performed (As far as I know) exclusively at the Renaissance Festival that went by the name Ded Bob. He was a ventriloquist in an old-timey executioner costume with a dressed up skeleton puppet; He's since retired and let others take up the mantle.

He often did skits requiring people form the audience, who he would 'Bobnotize' them with his eye sockets. 'Bobnotized' audience members were 'Bob Zombies'
