Marv turned into a skeleton in "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" during a comedic scene meant to exaggerate the effects of an electric shock.

Here's what happens:

In one of Kevin McCallister’s booby traps, Marv grabs a sink to wash his hands and ends up getting electrocuted. As the electricity surges through him, the film shows a cartoonish X-ray-style visual where Marv is briefly shown as a screaming skeleton.

Why did this happen?

For comedic effect: It's not meant to be realistic. It's a slapstick gag—an over-the-top visual joke common in cartoon-style humor, which "Home Alone" is full of.

To exaggerate the pain: The skeleton gag is a visual shorthand for how intense the shock is, but done in a funny, family-friendly way.

Looney Tunes-style violence: The "Home Alone" movies often emulate the physics and humor of classic cartoons like Tom and Jerry or Looney Tunes, where characters survive absurdly dangerous situations with only minor injuries.

So, to be clear:

Marv didn't actually turn into a skeleton—the shot was a visual gag to show he was being electrocuted, played for laughs.

Why does a skeleton have hair?
