I have two simultaneous reactions when I see really awesome Halloween costumes: 1) Excitement! How cool is that? Delight! 2) Anger. Why didn’t I think of that? Jealousy.
I had those two reactions as I was browsing the web for costume ideas for this year. I came across some pretty hilarious stuff. There’s nothing like a good batch of Halloween costumes to make you appreciate humanity, is there?
Here’s a round-up of some of the internet’s most amusing costumes from Halloweens of old. Most of these you still have time to make for yourself. Make your creativity and wit (ahem, copycat skills) the envy of friends and passing strangers.
Make your baby Wilson! It’s probably not the best idea to let this one float away.

Tobias has a medical condition. He literally is never nude. Hence, jorts. Photo courtesy of Reddit.com.
In honor of Arrested Development‘s epic return, why not go as blue never-nude Tobias?
“I’m just a Bill, yes I’m only a Bill. And I’m sitting here on Capitol Hill…” Revive the old Schoolhouse Rock jingle with this costume.
Costume: “Drunk Guy Makes Out With Hottest Chick at Party.” Sexist? You bet. Creepy? Absolutely. Clever? Eh, we’ll give it to him.

I wonder if he had a selection process for the spices he included. Photo courtesy of Coolest Homemade Costumes.
Speaking of creepy… How about a “spice rack?” For the bold and the punny.
Here’s an idea as bright as Snooki’s spray tan: dress your kids up like drunk reality stars! Thanks, Jersey Shore.

Commit to the costume. Don't turn left all night (you're not an ambi-turner). Photo courtesy of Reddit.com.
It’s not Magnum, Le Tigre or Ferrari. It’s Blue Steel. (It is also not a center for ants.)
“Tequila Mockingbird.” Get it? Atticus Finch is groaning.
A little dated, maybe, but still hilarious. (#TeamJenForever)
Great group costume: Angry Birds! But don’t let anyone try to slingshot you or your friends as the night progresses.
The single greatest prop to any Harry Potter costume I’ve ever seen. An actual three-headed dog. Sit, Fluffy!
Ack! It’s a spider! Imagine waking up in the middle of the night with this thing crawling at you.
Hope this helps inspire you! Heads up, this website has really great homemade costume ideas, as well.
