Worked at a nightclub and my favorite was a dude dressed as a giant fucking piece of bread. It was the most inconvenient, oversized fucking costume to bring to a nightclub, but alas they sweat their way through the night towering above the crowd, as a giant slice of bread. Lol

He was in bread as it were

A gender-bent Sailor Moon entourage, all bearded and bulky in their amazing mini skirts and heels looking fabulous, with a female Tuxedo Mask leading them

In college a buddy of mine went as "that bad dream where you forgot to wear pants" and had a nice dress shirt and blazer coupled with tighty whities hidden underneath an oversize pair of boxer shorts. Also dress socks and shoes. Was a well recieved costume.

There were like a dozen guys all dressed as Monarch henchmen from Venture Bros.

Squad goals

That isn't just funny, that's dedication.

21 and 24 would be proud.

Was Russian Guyovitch there?

Not that I saw, but he's a sneaky guy I hear.

My friend one year dressed up as identity theft. She had a stack of those "My name is: stickers and people could write down their names and she would stick them to her coat. lol

[–] stealth_cookies@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I did them prefilled out one year and covered myself in them to go as an identity crisis.

Guy at a party had a bunch of cut up cerial boxes tied around him, some with knives in them. He was a cerial killer.

Ha that's great!

A big middle-aged dude, beard and all, dressed as a bumblebee. Not the Transformers character, the actual bee.

Also doubles as a Jerry Seinfeld costume.

This was a long time ago, so I don't remember the exact details, but...

A couple went as a pair of penguins. And they had a half-dozen friends dress up as National Geographic photographers, following them around.

(Oh, this was probably when March of the Penguins had just been released.)

I was once wearing a white t-shirt underneath a clear waste paper bag filled with paper waste. I was going as white trash

That guy and his entourage in Shibuya every year dressed as Xi Jinping.

My husband put a potato on a rope around his neck so that it hung right around his crotch. He was a dictator.

This one is my favorite lol

The vocalist of cattle decapitation went as a YouTube video. He walked around with a massive white border saying in the video title. How to do pig squeal vocals. His name was Bobby Br00tal.

XD I forgot about these videos! They're so funny

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

A kid showed up last night, wearing a cardboard box on his head, with a single green led light in it. I have no idea what he was supposed to be. (A security camera? Gort from "Day the Earth Stood Still?") He got candy though. It's the effort that counts.

[–] sighence@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Worked with a guy once who went dressed in a big cardboard box covered in wrapping paper, with a big bow tied on the outside. There was a tag attached to the outside of the box. The tag read β€œTo: Women, From: God”.

The priest one that has a small child attached at the waist. I have a sick sense of humour

I had a coworker wear a cardboard sign that said "Nudist on strike" once. I loved the simplicity.
