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.

Are you ready for this week’s caption contest?  I know some of you are, because I actually got e-mail letting me know there wasn’t one posted on-time.   (It’s nice to be missed!)  The reason for the delay is because of an electrical malfunction at the Buffet o’ Blog headquarters, preventing me access to my computer and the Internet for a few days.  Now that it’s resolved, things can return to normal (or a reasonable approximation thereof).

Since this week’s caption contest is late, here’s an extra special photo.  And by special, I mean “lots of humor potential”.  It’s a sumo wrestler, performing some sort of introductory dance.  Let the humor begin!

FYI, some sites may frown upon “potty humor”, where you reference passing gas and such.  Let it be known that your humor is welcome here.

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...

It’s time for this week’s caption contest, and since Halloween is approaching, here’s a photo featuring someone in a costume.  I’m not sure who it is, but it’s a caricature, and the person is standing on his bed, which is in the ocean for some reason.  So, like always, you get to explain what’s going on here.

It may be a little too early to think of my Halloween costume for 2012, but I thought of it anyway.    Since 2012 is supposedly the end of the world, for Halloween I’m going to have my hair all messed up, not shave for a few days previous, and wear a giant sign that says “THE END IS NEAR!”  It’ll be like one of those old-school doomsday prophets.

You could also do this at work on a Monday.

Obviously this picture doesn’t quite do it justice, but it’s close enough…
