Meme Halloween Costume Ideas
Yes, what you’re seeing is real: there is an Antoine Dodson Halloween costume on sale. Assuming you have the internet and annoying friends who send you links a hundred times, you’ve heard of the guy and know of his oratory skills (“Obviously we have a rapist in Lincoln Park”), and also know that by like, next summer, we won’t even remember why we know his name. They’re called memes, and they are born and dead in a matter of months. However, considering we’re running out of costume ideas — last year I saw at least 5 walking penises– perhaps memes are our only choice. So, without further adieu, here are four more ideas to ensure that in 30 years you will have NO clue what you dressed as for Halloween 2K10.
1. Double Rainbow guy
Get a curly brown wig, a tye-dyed rainbow t-shirt, flip flops, and a pillow to create the perfect huge belly. Walk around all night yelling, “DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY!” and “WHAT DOES IT MEEEEAN?!” and “IT’S SO VIVID!” Bonus points if you can somehow create those creepy little chin braids.
2. The Trolololo Guy
Brown suit, miserable, mustard colored shirt and brown tie. A creepy Ken-doll like wig is necessary, and if you really want to catch the essence of the video: dark eye makeup that makes you look like a broken, empty shell of yourself living in Soviet Russia. Spend the night singing this at the top of your lungs and awkwardly bobbing around town. Don’t worry. It won’t be annoying at all.
3. “Dude, you have no Quran” guy
Let’s hope for your sake that this heat wave lasts till Halloween because for this costume you will have to be shirtless. You’ll also need a creepy long brown wig, glasses from 1976, and a skateboard. You’ll ALSO need a misplaced sense of pride and should most likely be under the influence of something.
4. Sad Keanu
You’ve probably got all these items in your closet already: black boots, jeans, a black shirt and dark blue blazer, and of course from your fridge: the sad looking sandwich. Wander around looking downtrodden and worthless. If you have trouble doing this, just imagine if you peaked in 1989.
Halloween is only a month away, so you better start planning. Got a great Halloween costume idea? Let us know in the comments!
