Some of the most memorable of holiday attire are keyword. These humorous outfits set a jovial mood and keep us laughing long into the evening. The possibilities are endless. Take ideas from popular culture and media and create a satirical garb. Besides, you expect the horrifying on this holiday of death and darkness. Funny Halloween costumes on the other hand are unexpected and therefore more memorable.
You don't want to do the same old thing that's been done year after year. There is humor in most topics and most characters but it can take some thinking to come up with a new concept. Try to look at common daily examples in a new way, add a twist or exaggerate a detail and you have something truly funny.
A woman dressed as Barbara Walters or Sarah Palin is the same old thing. A man cross dressed and exaggerating the speech or characteristic mannerisms of either woman could be hilarious. Perhaps a man dressed as Palin carrying a huge tube of lipstick looking for pigs? It's best to poke fun without being mean spirited with your costume. Keep it light hearted to keep it funny.
Funny Halloween costumes do not have to be recreations of human beings. Other living things can be incorporated as well as inanimate objects. Go as something unique, like a bottle or can of your favorite whatever. Perhaps you prefer to dress up as a fruit or vegetable, or maybe the obligatory chicken costume? Add your own twist to the look. Dress as a punk carrot, or maybe a fancy chicken in a gown. Other ideas that have been done include packages of famous inexpensive soups, fast food containers, even mail. These may sound a little out there, but that is the point. The humor also comes from the unexpected.
Famous (and often overused) sayings are useful and can be incorporated as an accessory or as the topic of your costume. Remember ""Where's the beef""? For a current topic your character might be ""Miss Behavioral Disorder"" (think beauty pageants) with MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and other social media applications decorating your costume. Poke fun gently and twist your character to make it slightly warped and very funny.
The only caution when using funny Halloween costumes is to keep practicality and comfort in mind. It is so easy to be carried away with an idea and build on it and add to it - and then find you've created a costume that won't fit through the door or doesn't allow you to sit down to rest. If a Halloween party is your destination it might not be polite to wear a costume so wide you take up half the room. Consider your comfort and the comfort of those around you and keep your costume within reasonable boundaries when it comes to size.
Remember not all humor may be family friendly. If your costume has a sexual or other off color implication, or includes parts that are questionable for younger eyes, you may have to make some alterations. If you plan to wear your costume in public, keep in mind certain places may not allow you to enter in such attire. Always check ahead with the host or hostess of holiday parties to make sure no children or anyone else who may be offended will be in attendance.
It may take time to come with a unique concept for funny Halloween costumes but this type of make believe can often be put together using everyday items. Less complex designs and ideas will be easier to create. There are no gender boundaries for Halloween so keep your mind open. If you think about it you may find the most memorable funny Halloween costumes you've seen on others were not the most elaborate but they were unique and caused smiles and laughter from all who saw them.
