INFO:

The photo cut-outs or “Stand-ins” don’t really have an English name. They originated from a French term –

Tintamarresque is a French word with no English equivalent, so it becomes the default word in English for what we otherwise call "one of those things at amusement parks and beaches where you stick your head in a hole and there's a drawing on the other side of an implausible or funny scene.
