funny costumes, pt 2

Here’s some more pictures of costumes for Halloween, parties, conventions, etc.  The first funny costumes post featured superhero costumes, so this one will be more random.   Some are from popular franchises like Star Wars and Halo, and there are some creative and well-done ones in here, too.  Feel free to comment on any of them, if you have something funny to add.

Chef Vader serving Jar Jar Binks

Here's some "LOL dogs".

If you want to be a generic green army man, you can buy this costume.

This is the hero, Master Chief, from Halo 3. This one will be popular! You can get a cheaper one for $68.95, but the "supreme edition" (shown) is $779.99.

Pimp Vader and Leisure Suit Boba Fett

Zoltar, from the movie "Big". This is very well-done! It's not for sale, but at this link they tell how they made it.

Once again this is getting long, so I’ll put the rest in another post.   Here’s a link to search for the other funny costumes posts.

funny costumes, pt 1

For years, people have enjoyed dressing up in costumes, whether for Halloween or for parties.  There’s also movie premiers and conventions, where die-hard fans get into cosplay (costume roleplay).  Sometimes these costume attempts end up being funny, whether intentionally or just because it’s so bad (epic fail).   Here’s a few that fall into one of those categories (but mostly the latter).  Let’s start with people trying to be superheroes.

Why would you want to dress up as a wuss? And with feathers?

There's several things wrong with this picture. Can you find them?

The Atkins Diet really worked for Batman!

Does this make you marvel?

It's not easy being Green... Lantern.

I know he's supposed to be a good guy, but this scares me.

Uhh...

No utility belt, no shoes, no service.

The economic downturn even affected Tony Stark. But switching from iron to paper is gonna cost him in other ways...

Space Ghost is awesome, but every time someone dresses up like him, it just doesn't work out so well...

This post is getting long, so I’ll put the rest of them in another post.  Here’s a link to search for the other funny costumes posts.

funny pictures, episode 5

Here is another post of funny pictures.  Do I need to say more?

I predict Pickle Me Elmo will be the holiday shopping craze of 2009...

Anybody can be cool. Hey, wait a minute... Is that John Tesh?

Have you ever wondered what the backside of Mount Rushmore looks like?

Saw this at Cracker Barrel... what's this about? And why do "natural beauties" need badger body care?

If there's a proper way to speak Ebonics, this probably ain't it...

funny pictures, episode 4

While perusing teh Internets for photos for upcoming caption contests, I come across many funny photos that are worth sharing because, as the name implies, they are funny photos.    Of course, if you have any comments or captions to write for any of the pictures, feel free.   Actually, in this issue, I would like some captions for the last picture, because I just don’t get it.

Barf dishwashing soap -- doesn't that just scream CLEAN? And now, it has magic brightness!

Well, see, there was this bike stuck up there, so we thought we'd throw another one up there to knock it down...

Notice it says "MY" STUFF. Perhaps this was designed for corporate layoffs...

Some people don't even try to hide their bias.

Why???

This last picture was taken by a friend this past week.  I also saw it, and was wondering why in the world someone would put a Dodge Neon of all cars on a huge frame like that.  I really don’t understand.  If you have any possible explanation for this, share it in a comment.

hair bands of the ’80s

The decade of the ’80s saw some tacky fashion trends, too many to name here, but one that stands out is the “hair band”, where guys in rock bands had long hair — sometimes even with perms. Ugh!

Be forewarned that the following pictures are not for the squeamish. If you can withstand the tackiness, look beyond the big hair and notice what some of them are wearing. I was a child of the ’80s, so fortunately I didn’t get too caught up in that craziness. But looking back, you have to wonder how in the world people thought that was cool!

Can anyone explain how that was ever considered fashionable? I have no idea… Did we just overlook that because some of the music was good? Could there be any other possible explanation?
