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.

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

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

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

Was Russian Guyovitch there?

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

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.)

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

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

[–] wetferret@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

My personal favorite is the spider costume for dogs.

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

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”.

[–] 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.

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.
