- Brace yourself for the worst Halloween costumes ever.
Let's talk about that.
- I'm Anthony Kelly from Hayden, Alabama.
(guitar strumming) Good mythical morning.
(upbeat music)
- Good Mythical Morning.
- Today's episode is brought to you by Smule,
maker of the magic piano,
which Link will definitely demonstrate now.
(Mario Brother's Theme plays)
- That was Mario Brother's theme.
- Wow. - You can play more of that.
You can download all types of songs on here
including I'm a Thoughtful Guy.
- It made you sound like you were talented for a second.
- Yeah and there's a more advanced version of it
that make you sound even more talented than me.
- Okay. - If you choose.
- Halloween is approaching quickly
and you, mythical beast, have to make a decision.
What are you gonna be for Halloween?
We're gonna make that easier for you today
because we're gonna show you
what you shouldn't be for Halloween.
- I'm actually trying to figure out if I should be anything.
You know, I've got kids who wanna be things
and they've made their decision, Power Rangers and pirates,
and all types of permutations of those P costumes.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Pyromaniacs.
- Nope.
But, you know, they want me to participate and I just...
It's hard for me not to be a party pooper, you know?
- But that starts with a P you could be a party pooper.
- Okay.
- Be like, "Kids, hey, I'm a party pooper.
I'm dressed as myself."
- Thanks for that, Rhett.
Right? - I gave you an out.
I gave you an out. - Yeah.
And now I get candy for myself.
But choosing the right costume
can make all the difference in the world.
If you're gonna, you know, you're going from house to house
and all of a sudden you realize you go to the first house,
you'll see the look on their face
and you realize that you are failing.
- Your dignity is tied up into this decision.
- So we're gonna go through these and
learn from their mistakes, people.
Let's get right into it.
Picture number one.
- [Rhett] Okay, now I know from looking at this
that these guys are trying to be Burt and Ernie
from Sesame Street.
- [Link] Yes.
- [Rhett] But I think that any party that they went to
that evening cleared out very quickly.
- [Link] I would say that Burt is the creepier of the two.
Until I notice that he has a white turtleneck on,
(Rhett laughs)
which to me totally makes him-
- [Rhett] It neutralizes him?
- [Link] It neutralizes his creepiness, which is great.
Next one.
- [Rhett] Is he's supposed to be a cell phone?
- [Link] This is a human cell phone, yes.
- [Rhett] Whatever you do do not dial the operator.
- [Link] Daredevil.
- [Rhett] You know, Meg, I'm not real...
I'm not real comfortable wearing like the tight bottoms
from this costume.
You know, I, they real tight and they're red.
- [Link] Well why don't you...
Just wear your jeans, honey.
- [Rhett] Really, just my jeans?
- [Link] Yeah, just wear your jeans, it'll be fine.
- [Rhett] You mean I'll be Daredevil up top,
then I'll just be like denim man on the bottom?
- [Link] Yeah, yeah, that that's great.
People won't notice anyway.
- [Rhett] Should I wear a belt?
- [Link] Oh, great idea, wear a belt.
Yes, yes.
- [Rhett] Okay, this is a good idea.
- [Link] Thank you.
You look great.
(Rhett grunts)
What's up with everyone we're showing
is like you should not look at the guy's groin area.
If your eyes are immediately drawn to the groin area,
then it's probably a bad costume.
- [Rhett] This guy ruined Elmo for his children.
Assuming he has children,
he has thoroughly ruined it for them.
- [Link] Now, as I'm choosing to do,
I am only focusing on the top half of his costume.
And if you do that,
if you only look at the top half of his costume,
it actually looks like Elmo is consuming that man
as if like a snake swallowing a gazelle.
It's like he's about to close down over the guy's face
and the guy's fighting for his life.
- [Rhett] Well, and the lower Elmo
looks like he's like trying to conceal something from us.
He's like, "No, don't look, don't look!"
- Yeah, I'm very appreciative
for lower Elmo's concern for us.
I'm having trouble figuring out what this is.
I know Elvis is involved but where's the real person's face?
It's up in the top.
I think it's a banana.
- [Rhett] It's a banana.
It's shaped like a banana.
It's a banana costume.
Everybody...
Yeah, Banana Elvis.
Everybody wants to be Banana Elvis.
- [Link] The Flash.
- [Rhett] Now I don't care how this man positions his arms,
he's not moving anywhere quickly.
He's not fooling anyone.
- [Link] I think I know what's happening here.
This guy has been wearing the same costume every Halloween
since he was five.
(Rhett laughs)
And the Sharpie abs are a recent addition.
- [Rhett] Well, I gotta give him credit.
The abs to me were very believable.
- [Link] Next photo.
Ironman made out of paper.
It's very ironic.
I think this guy may be a genius.
- [Rhett] Yeah this, there's...
I think this is great.
This is a win in my mind.
We have to throw a few of those in there.
- [Link] Right.
And he was, you know, he's got the birthday ribbon
coming out of his hand.
That's very flammable though.
You gotta think about that.
Oh, I'm sorry.
This is, I didn't want to include rainbow man in this.
This was just for my personal collection.
- [Rhett] Oh my.
Is that you?
- [Link] You can't tell, can you?
You know... - [Rhett] I'm not...
Listen, if this guy shows up at a Halloween party
or comes to my door, I am not speaking to him.
- [Link] Single rainbow all the way across my couch.
Next photo.
Did you choose this? (Rhett laughs)
This guy?
Because-
- [Rhett] The thing I like about this guy is,
I know it's supposed to be a He-Man costume,
kind of became a Wendy costume.
You know like-
- [Link] Like flipping square burgers?
- [Rhett] Wendy from Wendy's.
That Wendy.
- [Link] The title for this picture is Iceman.
I've never heard of Iceman.
I think it's because this is what he looks like.
- Is there an Iceman?
Is that a real superhero?
- No.
- [Chase] He's on the X-Men.
- Really? - [Chase] Yeah.
- Iceman- - [Chase] He's in the movies.
- Oh really?
I thought that was Silver Surfer.
(Chase laughs)
- [Chase] That's a different movie.
- Okay.
- [Rhett] Is that a pair of blue, tight underwear?
Like blue, just like Hanes?
- [Link] It actually looks like a diaper.
Iceman wears a diaper.
(Rhett chuckles)
I think this is what Kermit the Frog would look like
if he originally weighed 650 pounds
and then he went on like an extreme weight loss diet.
And then he shows up at the high school reunion
and you're like, "Wow, Kermit!"
- [Rhett] This is before he said all his extra skin removed,
- [Link] Right. - [Rhett] Surgically removed.
I would hate to see the Miss Piggy
that goes with this ensemble.
- [Link] Next photo.
The Kool-Aid Man.
- [Rhett] This guy's asking to be punched
somewhere in the face during the evening.
- [Link] Well, I don't think he would see it coming because,
well, he appears to have a box on his head.
- [Rhett] I think the thing that this guy forgot
about the Kool-Aid Man costume,
is that the Kool-Aid Man costume,
the face wasn't just the head the face was the whole body.
As this guy clearly understands.
- [Link] This version of Scooby-Doo,
I think they got a little carried away with the paper-mache.
There's like
it looks like there's some like a goiter action
kind of happening.
- [Rhett] This is diseased Scooby-Doo.
He's got swollen lymph nodes.
I think I've come down with something.
- [Link] Now the first time I saw this guy
I did not think Silver Surfer,
I thought six month old leftovers
found in the back of my fridge.
Optimus Prime.
- [Rhett] Now I think this is a really creative costume.
I mean, the only problem I see
is that you leave yourself in a very vulnerable position
when you go into truck mode.
(Rhett and Link laugh)
- [Link] Optimus Prime becomes much less cool
when you see him driving around like he's an inchworm.
(Rhett chuckles)
The Death Star, man, dude.
- [Rhett] This is not...
This isn't too bad,
but it begins to sort of look like one-eyed, zombie Pac-Man.
- [Link] I could be wrong,
but I don't remember the Death Star having blue jeans
hanging out from under it.
I do, however,
absolutely remember Boba Fett wearing khaki shorts.
- [Rhett] This is an Ewok costume and it's not bad.
It actually looks pretty good.
But he has left his hands free for beverage consumption.
Can't blame him.
- [Link] I think the challenge will be fine in his mouth.
This is a very cool costume, a totally cardboard Chewbacca.
He appears to be eight feet tall.
- [Rhett] No, this is good.
That took a lot of time
and it actually came out to be pretty impressive
- [Link] In sharp contrast to this cardboard Chewbacca.
This may be a child abandonment case.
Obviously there are no parents involved
in the making of this costume.
- [Rhett] Hmm, this kid is not a healthy adult now
because of this night.
And that's just a warning to you parents.
Don't do this to them.
You may not always have cardboard laying around
to create your Chewbacca costume,
but that doesn't really matter
when you resembled Chewbacca naturally.
I think this guy also found
the bottom half of that Ewok costume.
- [Link] Now this guy has the face of Darth Maul
but the outfit of a pro-wrestler.
- [Rhett] This guy falls into the category
of people I would not speak with
at a Halloween costume party.
- [Link] Apparently Jabba the Hutt
is just a fat man and a green sleeping bag away.
- [Rhett] That's ingenious.
But where do you get a green sleeping bag like that?
- [Link] Well, Jabba the Hutt was not green.
Next photo.
- [Rhett] This is a creative family.
You know, they're like, let's go with the Star Wars theme
and let's make our costumes in seven minutes or less.
- [Link] This Jabba the Hutt
is made out of like a long refuse trash bag, right?
- [Rhett] The inspiration for Jabba the Hutt
and R2D2 came from the same place.
The trash.
- And there you have it people,
worst Halloween costumes that hopefully none of you will be.
- Remember, choose wisely this Halloween,
because if a picture is taken of you,
and it's horrible,
it will very well end up on a list like this one next year.
You don't want to be one of these people.
- Let's end this episode, interpretive dance.
It's your turn to dance.
I'm gonna put this down.
It was Halloween 2012.
And the family gathered around the filing cabinet
to figure out what they were going to be.
They didn't decide until the last second
when dad stood up and said, "I have a great idea.
I have some fur here and I'm going to take my shirt off
and then I'm gonna put this fur all over me
and then I'm going to...
Yeah, I'm gonna put this fur all over me.
It's gonna take me a while to get back onto the camera
where I can interpret a dance, kids,
but it's gonna be worth it.
And look at me, kids, you guys just stay at home.
I'll go and earn all the candy
because I can do an amazing dance.
It's the furry dad dance.
We're doing it right now."
And I'm uncomfortable being in front of it.
