Adult Costumes: The Haute Couture of Puns

I love Halloween for many reasons - free candy, pets in costumes, adorable babies in costumes gnawing on free candy... ok, that's about it. But the thing I love most about Halloween is the vast assortment of "adult" costumes that the glorious Internet has to offer this time of year. Yes, we've all seen the run-of-the-mill sexy nurse, scary clown (or anything), and Captain Jack Sparrow costumes at our local mall or, if you're in NYC, the Halloween Express (or whatever it's called) that's on every corner right now. But the get-ups I'm talking about are the cream of the crop in adult costumes: the "humor" category, also known as "funny" adult costumes.

Now, when I say "funny", what I really mean is elaborate visual representations of very common gags, puns, sayings, or slang terms that "adults" would find funny. And because these are adult costumes, they're often racy or profane!

This week I'm going to post about some of my favorite subsets of the "funny adult costume" world, starting with my personal favorite: poop jokes.



You've got your "bull shit"


And the always funny "tough shit"


And for the ladies in the house, "holy shit"


OMG! Brad dressed as "CHICKEN SHIT"!! Can you believe it??? Brad, you so crazy.


You mean there's more of these? What a "crock of shit"!


You mean people actually pay $40+ for these things?? No shit?!?


And, its brainy cousin, "No shit Sherlock"


For the sexy people, you know what I'm talking about.. HOT SHIT!


This one is a little more abstract, so you might have a hard time with it - it's only for advanced pun costume wearers. Ladies and gentlemen, the poo-poo platter.


And finally, my personal favorite interpretation, "when shit hits the fan"



That's 10, count 'em, 10 shit costumes from one website! I'm sure if I searched the Internet a little more, I could find even more amazing variations. Shit costumes are like snowflakes, people. Actually.. no, they're not, at all... they come from a very limited pool of gags. (THANK GOD) I mean, how many other variants are there? Horse shit? Shit storm? Shit head? Shit for brains??

So, I leave you today with this question: who is the real shit in this situation? The Brads and Dereks who actually buy these foam turd costumes, or those poor fools who thought they were going to launch their career by modeling Halloween costumes?

(Oh, and if any of you wanted to rustle up a bunch of your friends to go to that Halloween kegger as a group of shits, then you better order now!)
