Halloween Costumes For 2012: Topical Ideas You Can Run With (PICTURES)
It's that time of the year again! Halloween is just a month away, so we know you're already on the lookout for hilarious and culturally relevant costumes for 2012. I've got you covered with topical costumes for just about everyone.
We reminisced about the funniest and most ridiculous people, things and memes from 2012 that would make great Halloween costumes and came up with 29 suggestions. If you're a lady, there's scowling McKayla Maroney, Honey Boo Boo Child, ERMAHGERD girl and, of course, Courtney Stodden. If you're a guy, there's Jeremy Lin, Tebowie, Paul Ryan Gosling and (if you're down for drag) the "Sh*t Girls Say" costume. Plenty of these work for both sexes, like Botched Fresco Jesus or Clint Eastwood's Chair. The main thing is that they're ridiculous and topical and should be a hit at any Halloween party.
Click through our suggested costumes for Halloween 2012 below and vote for your favorites! Also be sure to check back next week when we present the funniest political Halloween costumes for 2012.

Jeremy Lin
You may not have the jumpshot, but rocking the jersey should be pretty straightforward.

If you're already balding and have a goatee than this one's a snap: Just throw on a black T-shirt and jeans, give your hair a red tint and sheepishly accept awards all night

Patricia Krentcil, "The Tanning Mom"
You'd better stock up on bronzer now.

Jimmy Fallon's Tebowie
Don some Ziggy Stardust makeup, a football jersey and some glittery shoulder pads and you'll be Fallon, Bowie and Tebow all wrapped into one.

Pull your hair back into a high ponytail, throw on some warm-up clothes, make your own (silver) medal and just be unimpressed with everyone's costumes all night.

Texts From Hillary Clinton
All you need are a great pair of sunglasses, a blackberry and Air Force One.

Honey Boo Boo
Drink some go go juice at the beginning of the night and you'll be good to go.

Kony 2012
Make a lot of broad statements to show how much you care. Also, maybe don't buy the t-shirt.

Replacement Refs
Just carry around a yellow flag. Don't worry about reading the rulebook.
|
