- (Paulette) Hey, Dorothy! We all float down here, Georgie.
- I guess I'm a cheerleader? - (FBE) A VSCO girl!
- A disco girl! - (FBE) No, a VSCO girl!
- Oh, VSCO! ♪ (ragtime intro) ♪
- (FBE) Halloween is around the corner.
- (clapping) My favorite holiday! - I loved Halloween.
I loved to pretend. And I loved being scared.
But most of all, (sing-song) I loved the candy!
- (FBE) Well today, you will be reacting to some trendy costumes
from 2019. - That should be funny!
- I actually did dress up one time. I wore a bridal costume,
and I was Dennis Rodman. - (FBE) And even more fun,
you'll be trying some on. - Oh, wonderful. (laughs)
- Are you serious? Okay. - I'm up for it, yeah.
I love costumes.
- That's a scary one.
- (laughs) - There's no clowning around here.
- You have the horror movie ones. I don't even know what that's from,
because I don't really like horror movies.
- It looks like a clown, and maybe it's from some movie
that I did not see. - I just love It.
I like the original one with Tim Curry the best.
The new one-- I didn't see the second one yet,
but the first one was really scary. - (FBE) So, that was a clip
from the sequel of the It franchise, It: Chapter Two.
- My granddaughter just saw it with her friends.
She said they brought hoodies to put over their eyes
at certain points. (chuckles) - I have read the book.
I have not seen the movie. - (FBE) There are various takes
on the Pennywise evil clown costume,
and it is one of the most popular costumes this year.
- Oh yeah. Oh yeah, I'm expecting to see
more clowns than usual. - (FBE) So, we have one
of the options to show you now. - I like that.
Wicked smile. - Ahhh. I like that.
- Now, that's sexy. (laughs) - That's kind of creepy.
I mean, I'm not afraid, but it's just kind of creepy,
almost evil looking. - (FBE) You ready to try it on?
- Sure! - Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
♪ (whimsical piano music) ♪
- We all float down here. - (Robert) Yeah. How you like me now?
- The costume's great. I think I'd do my own face
in real makeup. I'm not big with masks.
- (Paulette) Hey, Dorothy! We all float down here, Georgie!
- (FBE) Let me show you this next clip.
- (girl) Hi, you must be new, mm-hmm.
Yeah, this is my new hydro flask. Oh, you don't have one?
- No. - (girl) Hmm.
Well, save a turtle. Um... - Is this the VSCO girl?
- (girl) These are just my scrunchies. I notice you don't have one.
- Oh, I have lots of those. - (girl) Really? You keep that.
Don't even worry about it. (laughs) - Slow down, girl.
- I have no idea what she's even saying.
- (girl) Oh my god. You're not wearing a big tee,
but do not fret. I actually brought an extra!
(laughs) Here you go. You can keep it. Don't even worry.
- Ah-ha-ha-ha, I don't trust her. - She's hysterical. She's cute.
But I have no idea what the hell she was talking about.
- (FBE) So, that was Tik Tok video depicting VSCO girls.
- What's VSCO girl? - (FBE) A VSCO girl is a term
that is generally associated with someone who edits their images
using the VSCO app and wears puka shell necklaces,
scrunchies, and oversized T-shirts as well as typically drinking
from hydro flasks and advocating the use of metal straws
to save the turtles. - Huh. Interesting.
Learn something new. - Hey, I'm part VSCO girl then,
'cause I have metal straws. - I heard of it because of the videos
where they dressed up the dogs like these girls.
- (FBE) Here's an image of a VSCO girl.
- Oh, she's cute. So, that's what they wear?
Long T-shirts? - I've seen my daughters
kind of wearing some of this stuff. Like, they have multiple scrunchies.
I haven't seen the puka shell necklace,
'cause that's pretty weird. - I see the shoes.
I see everything there. I kinda like it.
- (FBE) You ready to try it on? - If you insist.
♪ (whimsical piano music) ♪
- I like the straw. It's really neat.
- I guess I'm a cheerleader? - (FBE) A VSCO girl!
- A disco girl! - (FBE) No, a VSCO girl!
- Oh, VSCO! - And I oop. And I oop.
And I oop. (snickers) Hey, ready for Halloween.

- ♪ Thank you, next ♪ - Is that Ariana Grande?
- Ariana Grande! - Oh, dear.
She's expecting. - (laughs)
- Oh, god. One of them is pregnant. (laughs)
You know, we used to cover ourselves with--
really so you couldn't tell you were pregnant.
Today? Poof. - It's a nice thing to bring
into the video and make that more acceptable.
- (FBE) So, that was a clip from Ariana Grande's
music video, "thank u, next." - Yeah. Okay, I love Ariana Grande.
- (FBE) The pregnant cheerleader in the music video
is YouTube celebrity Colleen Ballinger,
who's actually been on YouTubers React
here at FBE. - Oh! Cool.
- (FBE) She was pregnant at the time, and Ariana wanted to include her
in the video, which has made the pregnant cheerleader costume
even more popular this year. - Okay. Pregnant cheerleader.
All right. (laughs) - (FBE) Here's what it looks like.
- (laughs) Perfect! Okay, I'm in.
I mean, he's got better legs than I do at this point,
but they used to be something special. - That's some-- no, no, no, no, no.
That's almost like mocking motherhood. Oh, no, no, no.
- Isn't Halloween supposed to be a little out there anyway?
You know, where we destroy all of our norms,
our societal norms, and for a day, we suspend reality and we become
dogs and giraffes and gorillas and whatever else.
So, just be whoever the hell you wanna be.
- Okay. This is not the way it felt, but... (laughs)
I still remember.

He's back! - (Dustin) I'm back!

- Great sailor outfit. - There's another costume right there.
- (boys making sound effects)
(boys laughing)
- (Robin) How many children are you friends with?
- She's strange thing. That's a strange thing.
She's a... That's not nice. - When I was a kid,
parents did that to the little kids. They put 'em in sailor suits.
That was a costume back then. - Since that series was so popular,
I expect to see a lot of those people banging on my door
while I hide and pretend I'm not home. - (FBE) So, that was a scene
from the third season of the Netflix hit, Stranger Things,
which hit the record of 26.4 million US viewers
during its release weekend. - Wow. That's amazing.
- What did we used to do? We had costumes without TV shows.
- (FBE) Here's what it looks like. - Okay. Yeah, that's... adorable.
- I'd wear that. That's cute. Ahoy there.
- I like that. When I was growing up, it was more like professions,
people's professions: nurses, doctors, sailors, army clothing,
you know, things like that.

You're gonna love it! - You want me to go out

That's the old sailor shuffle. It's from an old Gene Kelly movie.
- (FBE) Here's another one. - Okay.
- Aww, Mr. Rogers. - You got a pullover sweater for me?
(chuckles) Right? - I was too old even when he started,
really, to watch his show, but my kids did.
- ♪ Could you be mine? ♪
- Oh, what a wholesome TV show,
has his sweater on. - ♪ ...neighborhood with you ♪
- Okay, I'm curious what the costume would be.
- (FBE) So, that was a clip from the children's show
Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. - Right. Mr. Rogers.
- (FBE) It was announced this year there would be a film
about Fred Rogers called A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,
which will be releasing November of this year.
But it's already inspired costumes. - I forgot about that film!
Of course! That's gonna generate a lot of costumes.
Let's take a look at one. - Oh.
- Mr. Rogers never came out like that. - I didn't see that coming.
That's a different variation. - Okay, they spiced it up, uh-huh,
with some hot pants. - They look fabulous.
- No. I just-- especially Mr. Rogers, though.
That's-- I know they have sexy nun and they have all--
but no, Mr. Rogers... I mean, he's iconic.
- (FBE) You ready to try this costume on?
- No, I don't think so. There's very few things
I draw the line at. - (FBE) I'm kidding.
We actually don't have the costume in for that one.
- Yay. God, would I look terrible in that.
Oh, well. - (FBE) So finally,
how do the Halloween costumes of today compare to the costumes
from when you were growing up? - I think the costumes that I had
when I was growing up were a lot simple.
Some of those costumes consisted literally of a sheet
with two eye holes cut into it. So, I bet you I'm not gonna
see one of those knocking on my door this Halloween.
- Well, when I was growing up, they were all homemade costumes.
I can remember wearing a Batman or some Captain Marvel
or capes that I made myself. It was all let's pretend,
and I loved it. - In this day and age,
I think they're more extreme than they were when I was growing up.
When I was growing up, costumes were like Superman,
the Cisco Kid, a grandmother, grandfather.
- It was a much different time back then.
Girls, you know, they didn't dress like that.
They didn't put those kind of outfits on.
They might have put a fancy gown that's your mom's,
like they're dressed up like they're in formal wear.
But it wasn't something with cut outs
and a lot of skin showing. At least, that I remember
and I would probably remember. (chuckles)
