Ah, Halloween. The day of the year where you can dress up as pretty much anything and blend right in. The day of the year when pun lovers become celebrated instead of ridiculed. Puns are great, and they make some great costumes too. However, most people aren’t willing to break the bank or put in a lot of effort for a costume that you will wear to that one party hosted by a friend of a friend. Or only to Chipotle for discounted burritos. Instead, try one of these cheap and easy to make punny Halloween costumes!
1. Snakes on a Plane
All you need is some plastic snakes and a poster board! Then bam! Snakes on a plane! Get it? Get it?
2. When Life Gives You Lemons...
Write "Life" on shirt, grab a couple lemons, and walk around giving them out. You are now life giving out lemons. This way you can also make some lemonade later.
3. Holy Guacamole!
Tape some pictures of avocados to a shirt, make a halo out of pipe cleaners and you have "holy guacamole!" Because guacamole is already heavenly.
4. Holy Cow!
While we are on the theme of holy, here's the classic "Holy Cow!" Tape black splotches over a white shirt, make that halo out of pipe cleaners, and you're in business! The plus side of this one is that you can save it for "Dress like a Cow" day at Chic-Fil-A.
5. Spice Rack
Get a cheap bra and fill it with various spices and you have the "Spice Rack!" If you don't have any spices at hand, you'll be able to keep the ones from the costume afterward. Also, you could probably wear this costume while cooking to keep all your spices easily accessible.
6. The Ginger Bread Man
This costume is primarily for red heads, but if you want to invest in a cheap red wig you could totally pull this off. The bonus here is that you have snacks for the entire night. Classic pun!
7. The Identity Thief
Perfect for last-minute costumers, I present "The Identity Thief." Write random names on a bunch of name tags and then stick them all over your body. You have now stolen everyone's names! Add hoodie and glasses for extra suspicious thief look.
8. The Cereal Killer
Halloween is supposed to be scary, and nothing is scarier than a cereal killer! Wait, serial killers are the scary ones? Oops. Well, you can stab some small cereal boxes with plastic forks, tape them to your body, and be terrifying to Tony the Tiger at least.
9. French Kiss
The band KISS is famous enough, but a french KISS, that's something new. Wear a stripey shirt, paint you face like Gene Simmons, and carry a baguette around. You are now, French KISS!
10. Nudists On Strike
Are you looking for a super last minute, cheap, fun, and great pun costume? Look no further, my friends. Simply wear your own clothes, and create a sign that says, "Nudists on Strike." Best. Costume. Ever.
These 10 cheap and easy costumes for pun lovers will make you the life of the party. Or everyone will slowly grin and sigh when they see you. But hey! You're having fun! I hope you use one of these great ideas this Halloween. Pun lovers, unite!
