The 15 Funniest Knockoff Halloween Costumes
Hahahaha. "Very goooood!" Anyone who is still looking for a last minute costume idea is definitely going to want to check out this list from frequent Videogum tipster, Edith. It's amazing. I'm particularly fond of the costume that functions as both Neo from the Matrix AND/OR a priest. Perfect. "There is no spoon, my children." Although, the knockoff Justin Guarini wig is poorly labeled. "Star Afro"? No. More like "Runner Up Soon To Be Butt Of So Many Jokes For Rest Of Life Afro." Better.
Check out the whole list, here.

MY AVATAR AND IRL ARE MERGING!
