A Jolly Roger (a term originating in British parlance) is a flag flown on a ship to indicate it is under the control of pirates. As such, it is associated in general with piracy and accompanies various other tropes about how pirates look and behave. In the modern day, it is often associated with those who engage in less literal forms of piracy, such as internet data theft. The most famous image of the Jolly Roger consists of a white skull over a pair of Stock Femur Bones that are crossed in an X-shape, all on a field of black. This flag and variations of it were used by numerous pirates in real life, but many other designs were used, often featuring a skeletal or demonic figure engaging in piracy. One of the most common variants features crossed cutlasses rather than bones, which is more distinctly piratey; this has been attributed to Mary Read, Anne Bonny, and Calico Jack, among others. Because the real flags were made by individuals with limited textile expertise (i.e. pirates), they tended to include a certain amount of Stylistic Suck to their designs, not that anyone was likely to point this out to them. Additionally, in fiction, monstrous or alien pirates often use versions of the Jolly Roger with distinctly nonhuman features, such as fangs, horns, or additional eyes; this is especially common among Space Pirates. A certain amount of Fridge Logic has to be addressed regarding the use of pirate flags: it may seem counterintuitive for pirates, who needed to capture merchant vessels for plunder and who were ceaselessly hunted by most of the world's governments, to announce their presence. A Jolly Roger would not have been aired most of the time, the ship instead posing as something more innocuous, only flying the true colors when its quarry was too close to escape. The idea was to rely on pirates' fearsome reputations, so that the prey ship's crew would surrender without a fight, reducing bloodshed on both sides. Alternatively, for more bloodthirsty pirate groups that did not take prisoners, the brazen appearance of their flag could sap the morale of the enemy. Note that not all images of a skull-and-crossbones are examples of a Jolly Roger. Sometimes this image is used to invoke the threat of death in a more generic sense. Subtrope of Skeleton Motif. Hacked by a Pirate is a subtrope, in which the Jolly Roger is used to announce that a computer system has been successfully hacked. |

The Beano: Depending on the Writer Danny of the Bash Street Kids in wears a skull-and-crossbones jersey because he's interested in pirates, or actually descended from pirates, rather than just as a general symbol of anti-authoritarianism. His surname is given on the Beano website as Morgan, presumably in reference to privateer Sir Henry Morgan. | |

Total War: Warhammer II: Some of the faction icons for the undead pirates of the Vampire Coast are derived from Jolly Roger iconography, such as those of the Awakened (a skull surrounded by tentacles), the Dreadfleet (a vampire's skull, superimposed on three skeletal serpents), and the Pirates of Sartosa (a crowned skull flanked by three snakes on each side). The roving pirate fleets that must be challenged and fought in a Vampire Coast campaign include the Boyz of the Forbidden Coast, orc pirates who use a simple skull-above-crossbones, and the Shark Strait Seadogs, who use a skull flanked by bat wings. |

World of Warships: The Jolly Roger flag is available as one of the many flag options that players can fly over their ships. In the "Naval Legends" series, the flag itself is most associated with the destroyer USS Kidd (itself added into the game after the video was made), in honor of the legendary pirate Captain Kidd. Notably, in Real Life, it was also the only US Navy ship allowed to fly the flag. | |

Homestuck: Vriska, a character strongly associated with pirates, occasionally flies a black flag marked with a horned troll skull with seven small eye sockets where the left eye would be, matching her seven-pupiled eye, when captaining ships. This version is first seen during a flashback to her and Eridan's naval battles during FLARP games, and turns up again much later when she's searching for an ancient weapon in the dream bubbles. | |

Pirate Hunter, befitting a pirate-themed game, has a gigantic flowing Jolly Roger in the background of its title screen (and your titular hero in the front). In-game, occasionally the Jolly Roger symbol can be seen on Exploding Barrels — these are highly dangerous and can One-Hit Kill you if it explodes from a point-blank range, whereas barrels without the symbol will just deal some damage. | |

EVE Online: The flag of Guristas pirates omits crossed bones or swords but adds rabbit ears to the skull. Presumably in honor of their founder and current leader, Korako "The Rabbit" Kosakami.

Heroes of Might and Magic: The Chaos/Asylum faction from the fourth game has Jolly Rogers on the sails of their ships, albeit on a red background instead of black to match with their aesthetic. The town doesn't have much to do with pirates, but Pirates are a Chaos-aligned neutral creature and their campaign in the base game is the story of a ruthless Pirate Girl. The Horn of the Abyss Game Mod for the third game adds in the Pirate faction Cove. Naturally, their ships fly a Jolly Roger and there are Jolly Rogers all over their town screen. |

Warhammer 40,000: Freeboterz, Ork Space Pirates who cross the inky black while fully Dressed to Plunder, usually fly the Jolly Ork, an icon depicting a grinning, tusked Ork skull, often with an eyepatch or a pirate hat, and prominently display it on their ships and personal iconography. | |

Down Periscope: Vice Admiral Dean Winslow tells Military Maverick Lt. Commander Thomas Dodge that if he can successfully complete a war game using the USS Stingray, a World War II-era diesel sub, against a modern nuclear sub, Winslow would grant Dodge command of his own sub. Winslow also tells Dodge to "think like a pirate". During the mission, the Stingray's Ragtag Bunch of Misfits, fed up with uptight Executive Officer Marty Pascal after his failed mutiny attempt, dress up like pirates and hoist a Jolly Roger atop the sub while it's surfaced to make Pascal "Walk the Plank" onto a waiting fishing trawler. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Parodied in the "Apples to the Core" song sequence in "Pinkie Apple Pie", where, in a scene where the Apples are dressed as pirates, their cart is flying a black flag with a shiny red apple in front of crossed femurs. | |

The Horn of the Abyss Game Mod for the third game adds in the Pirate faction Cove. Naturally, their ships fly a Jolly Roger and there are Jolly Rogers all over their town screen. | |

Once Upon a Time: Subverted. When Killian Jones (Captain Hook) takes over the Jewel of the Realm, he names the ship the Jolly Roger, but tells his crew to fly the crimson flag, and that "no quarter will be given" to prisoners. A bit of Shown Their Work on the part of the writers, as according to The Other Wiki, the Jolly Roger (or just a black flag) was flown to indicate that those who surrended without a fight would be shown mercy, while the red flag (the "blood flag") indicated no prisoners would be taken and everyone would be killed. | |

Eyewitness: In "Monster", a Jolly Roger flag is briefly shown when the pufferfish is brought up, before it Match Cuts to some fugu and how Japanese eat it even though the flesh is poisonous, with soy bowls representing the eyes, fugu itself being the teeth, and chopsticks representing the crossbones. | |

Empires SMP Season 2: Pirate Joe's Arch-Enemy, Skeletron, uses a banner based on the Jolly Roger — a white skull wearing a red bandanna over a black background. It's somewhat justified in his case since Skeletron is a living skeleton. Zig-zagged for Pirate Joe himself. The banner design MythicalSausage made for his empire, Eversea, was a Jolly Roger flag, but Pirate Joe disliked it at first as it reminded him of Skeletron. When he confronts Sausage on this, Sausage justifies his initial design by Breaking the Fourth Wall, lampshading the ubiquity of the Jolly Roger flag as pirate iconography. Pirate Joe ends up adopting a different banner for Eversea — one with an anchor design. However, in spite of his differing flag/banner design, Pirate Joe eventually decides to reclaim the skull-and-crossbones from Skeletron and incorporates them into the design of his Elytra-wings. |

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire: Team Aqua, a villainous organization that seeks to expand the world's oceans and whose members dress like pirates, use as their symbol a stylized A, white on a black or blue background, with a rounded central part and "legs" ending in femur heads. This is prominently displayed on both their vehicles and on the bandannas worn by each member. | |
