Halloween is that magical time of year when kids dash around in cute costumes, while parents lag behind, possibly enjoying a few adult beverages. This year, why not turn the tables and don a costume of your own? But we’re not talking about just any costume. We’re talking about something utterly outrageous that’ll have you and your friends rolling with laughter, while your kids cringe in embarrassment. If you manage to mortify them in the process, well, that’s the cherry on top!
Remember all those moments when your kids claimed you embarrassed them just by breathing too loudly or making eye contact? It’s time to show them what real embarrassment looks like. They won’t even notice your awkward breathing when you’re strutting behind them in one of these costumes!
Roar… I’m a Lion!
To fully embrace this costume, you need to go barefoot (because lions obviously don’t wear shoes) and prance from house to house. Forget about casual strolling; if you’re going to be a lion, you need to nail the dramatic flair. Plus, Prancy the Lion is on sale at Kohl’s, and while there are no reviews yet, we can assure you it’s a 4-star experience at the very least.
A Giant Steaming Pile of Yes!
Now we’re talking! The enormous giraffe head is what truly elevates this costume — you’re welcome! And don’t forget the hoof covers for your hands; they make drinking your beer a challenge, but provide endless entertainment for onlookers. Extra points if you pretend the giraffe head is the one doing the drinking.
Deez Nuts, Anyone?
We might not be worthy of this costume, but the nut jokes alone make it worth every penny! Plus, you’ll be a squirrel making all sorts of silly squirrel noises. Make sure to accompany your kids to the door, say “Trick or Treat,” shake your tail, and pretend to munch on your acorn. They will love it—seriously!
Banana-tastic!
Nothing screams “nice to meet you” quite like a big, cheerful banana. This costume might look like the banana is in distress, but we’re sure you’ll earn applause for your unique choice. Not many fruits get their time in the spotlight on Halloween, so you’ll definitely stand out in a way your kids will absolutely despise.
Bacon, Anyone?
Dressing up as bacon requires a bit of character work. Picture a world-weary, grizzled piece of bacon pondering life’s choices. After trick-or-treating, head to the local bar, light up a cigarette, and share your woes about that promotion you didn’t get.
Dog Gone Fun!
What kid doesn’t adore big, plush dogs? And what adult wouldn’t enjoy the cozy anonymity of being one? Pair your costume with your best Deputy Dog voice, and you could have a blast! Fun fact: St. Bernards used to save people trapped in snow by digging through it and lying on top of them. Ask folks if they feel safe when you surprise them with your furry presence!
Meet Half-Assed, the Unicorn!
Not everyone is up for a full-body costume, and we get that. This half-unicorn option is perfect for those looking to do just enough to stand out without going overboard. Just remember: if you need someone to take your unicorn head off, it might create a funny conversation starter!
Christmas in October!
Who says you can’t celebrate Christmas early? If you’re a die-hard Christmas fan, dive into a Christmas tree costume. Confuse passersby, embarrass your kids, and have a blast! After they collect their candy, you can break out your finger guns and wish everyone a “holly jolly Christmas.” This could be the best Halloween idea ever!
See? Adults can have just as much fun on Halloween! Grab a costume that makes you chuckle, hit the streets, and spread joy while trying to keep track of your child among a sea of Pokémon costumes. (Seriously, how many Pokémon are there now? “Is that a SnaffBafter?”)
Have fun and enjoy your Halloween!
