  • (Link) This, this, this, and this

  • are just a few of the most awkward Halloween costumes on the Internet.

  • Let's talk about those.

  • ♪ (theme music) ♪

  • Good Mythical Morning.

  • It's that time again. Of year... again.

  • - (both laughing) - "It's that time again of year."

  • I meant to say, "It's that time of year again, where,"

  • - and so I've gotten to that point - Yeah.

  • - and now we're just moving on. - We're there again.

  • Where you dress up like something you're not and get candy from somebody

  • - that you might live next door to. - That you're not.

  • - That you're not. - That you're not.

  • Dress up like somebody you're not and get candy from somebody you're not.

  • Some people put a lot of time and planning, spend the whole year,

  • "What am I gonna be for Halloween this year?" Other people wait

  • until the last second and just wrap themselves in duct tape and say,

  • "I'm Duct Tape Man!" which I did one time.

  • - Yep, I was there. - I wouldn't recommend that.

  • And then some people, no matter what they do, just have a knack for being awkward

  • and then posting pictures of themselves on the Internet,

  • making it even more awkward. And giving us the opportunity to find them

  • and share them with you in rapid succession.

  • - Are you ready... - I'm ready!

  • ...to view the most awkward Halloween costumes on the Internets?

  • Here we go, Rhett.

  • - Number one, - Whoa.

  • - I'm gonna bring this right in here. - For a second there... (inhales)

  • - I was like, "Are those eggs?" - Heh heh, well,

  • I was thinking something else. But, uh... I think they're potatoes.

  • Hungry... it's a TV dinner... that she's hiding behind

  • wearing some sort of a dance leotard. I don't know.

  • Does she work for Hungry Man? Is this like if you go to the

  • Hungry Man headquarters on Halloween, this what you're confronted with?

  • Because if so, I'm going. (laughing)

  • Evil laugh. Very appropriate.

  • Okay, this is a Halloween family photo.

  • - Whose idea was this? (laughing) - Yeah. I think the one in the middle,

  • - Mama Bear's idea. - Yeah, Papa Bear is doing about

  • as good as he possibly can do with this situation.

  • He almost seems happy, but he feels stupid.

  • He's making a much better expression than I would be making.

  • Oh, whoa. So, aquarium head. Now, in theory, this is a great costume.

  • But in practice, it is awkward execution. There's no way around it.

  • And we have a point of reference for this, having done pool head.

  • - (water splattering) - (Link) As you can see, uh...

  • it leaks pretty quickly, but he's really cool now.

  • I was so uncomfortable in our pool head that was leaking.

  • It's downright dangerous.

  • - (Rhett) Hm. - Oh my goodness!

  • (snorts) That's scary.

  • Like, where does... Oh my gosh. That's awesome.

  • I think the thing is is that he cannot stand up though. He's like,

  • "Uh, well, they kinda finished this,

  • but if I stand up, all of this cabbage is gonna fall off of me."

  • "Bring the candy to me."

  • And something tells me he's got nothing on underneath that lettuce.

  • - I think all this will be fed to the hogs - (laughing)

  • - after the costume is disposed of. - "Da hogs." Wow.

  • Okay, here we go. So this is like a poop emoji.

  • - No, it's a Hershey's Kiss. - Oh.

  • No, yes, it is poop. I was trying to clean it up a little bit.

  • - (laughing) - What would you do

  • if your lady friend showed up like this. That would be your wife.

  • Not... yeah, your wife. (laughing)

  • If you wife showed up and this was her idea.

  • I think it's cute. I think it's a cute idea.

  • What would you go as? A pair of butt cheeks?

  • (laughing) That's a good idea, too.

  • - Okay, well, you're welcome. - Nothing awkward about this one.

  • - (both laughing) - This is awkward.

  • - Oi. - I mean, wow.

  • I mean, why you gotta get in that pose?

  • I mean, work with me a little bit, girl.

  • This is how to not train your dragon.

  • (both laughing)

  • - (pleasantly surprised) Oh. - Again, very inventive,

  • but extremely impractical. I mean, you open your front door

  • and see this guy just laid out there on your welcome mat.

  • - Well, you'd give him something. - Probably a clubbing.

  • (both laughing)

  • I mean, the horn is great, but the mobility is lacking.

  • You gain a lot of cool points in your local high school

  • when you do the narwhal thing, though.

  • You will immediately be cooler.

  • Oh my goodness. Wha.. what is this?!

  • - Well, it's... - It's awkward.

  • ...no, it's-- well, yeah, it is that, but it's pictures of Nicolas Cage.

  • - Including the face. Everything... - Oh my gosh.

  • ... she is covered in a Spandex suit made out of Nicolas Cage...

  • - (Rhett) ...faces. - (Link) Pictures.

  • Oh, wow. The face on the face...

  • I mean, any face would have been disturbing,

  • but that face in particular is perfect.

  • - (Link) Remind you of anything? - (Rhett) Oh yeah.

  • - Yeah, it's kind of like that, maybe... - (Link laughing)

  • (Rhett) You know what, maybe I just need to get a whole Spandex suit

  • made out of myself.

  • I mean, I'm as good of an actor as Nicolas Cage.

  • Ooh... not true.

  • - Oh, little Bobby is a burglar. - (Link laughing)

  • - A cat burglar. Yeah. - Oh! This is genius!

  • But I feel a little sorry for the cat, which I'm concerned might be dead.

  • (laughing)

  • "I'm sorry to tell you, Bobby, but little Frisky has suffocated."

  • Little Frisky.

  • - (Link) Oh, yes. - (Rhett) Hold on a second.

  • There they are. Finally, I've found them: the dream couple.

  • Now, you do know that the man is a centaur.

  • - I mean, he's got extra legs back there. - Oh, yeah, he does.

  • - You just seeing that now? - Yeah.

  • And what is she, a two-legged unicorn?

  • She's a two-legged unicorn. That doesn't exist.

  • - Yeah, psh. Awkward. - Come on, now. Let's get realistic here.

  • This is going way back.

  • This is an antique photo of, like, the Michelin Man and the Michelin Woman?

  • Or like "Bagel Boy" and "Bagel Dad."

  • (laughing)

  • They could be Mr. and Mrs. Bagel.

  • - What's this dodgeball's name? - Wiltson.

  • - Wil... there's no "t" in it. - No, there is in my book.

  • - Wilson. (laughing) - Wiltson.

  • Now, this is smart, man. As long as you don't throw him.

  • Or see if he floats in the ocean.

  • His face says it all, though. "I am so over this Wiltson thing."

  • Oh. Here's that costume that goes along with the poop emoji.

  • - (Link laughing) - You wear this one on your face, Link.

  • But what is this guy, really, besides totally weird?

  • I guess it's just like "Patriots fan with free-flowing butt."

  • Don't you have parents?

  • This costume is the reason parents exist: to prevent this costume from existing.

  • Maybe it's the Bills. Maybe it's the Buffalo Bills. I take that back.

  • - Butt-falo Bills. - Ah, that's it. The Butt-falo Bills.

  • Right.

  • Okay, so this is a mind-bender, here. I see what I believe to be three legs.

  • - Converse ostrich. - No face.

  • - Is this two people? - No, it's a man...

  • With three legs? Is that his head down there?

  • Yeah, that's his head. He's just a man bending over with his head...

  • - Oh! - and he's got his hands behind his neck.

  • It's really not that complicated.

  • All you need is some black panty hose and a black pillow case and a black shoe.

  • And some sort of a pole. Check, check, and check.

  • - Uh oh. - This appears to be, um...

  • two young ladies impersonating us for Halloween.

  • - I'm impressed. - I don't know how I feel about that.

  • I think I feel the same way that the one on the left feels about it:

  • unwilling to make eye contact, totally awkward,

  • and questioning the whole enterprise.

  • Well, you definitely get the picture the one on the right playing you

  • is the one who came up with this idea, and the one on the left was talked into it.

  • - Shall I go on? - Yes.

  • - (Rhett) Mm. - All right, now we're going

  • way back again. Telephone Face.

  • Hey, we could do this.

  • This is a good last minute costume. This is better than Duct Tape Man.

  • This has got "last-minute" written all over it.

  • Oh, this is inventive. (laughing)

  • Teamwork. I call this one "Teamwork."

  • - "Bosom Buddies." - (Link laughing)

  • That would be the name on the package.

  • I like the fact that there's a

  • ultra-large screenshot of burger behind them.

  • We've got three angles of this one.

  • This awkward costume cannot be contained in one photo.

  • This is, uh, fat dancing baby. Adult baby, formal edition.

  • - (Link laughing) - And you can see that

  • - he's at his place of work. - Right before he got fired.

  • Yeah, right. The last day at his place of work

  • when he showed up as the big baby.

  • - (Rhett) Oh. Yeah. - They're
