Alligator Dog Costume

Alligator Dog Costume

As far as dog costumes go, this is definitely one of the better ones. Although it can’t be fun to drag that alligator suit around, the poor puppy.

But it does look great! What a funny idea. I wonder how heavy that costume is?

ThatCostumeGirl’s Elf Costume

I love what ThatCostumeGirl is doing over on her costume blog.

This week, she provides an excellent tutorial on How to Make an Elf Costume - with no sewing required! All the bases are covered: The shoes, the outfit and hat. Very helpful! And she looks terrific.

Best of all is her Elf Dance video that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face. I love it! What a great way to have fun with costumes and spread holiday cheer. Well done, TCG!

The Cast of How I Met Your Mother

Do any of you watch the TV sitcom How I Met Your Mother? The cast has done something funny again, this time in a photo-op that celebrates “The Best of 2008.”

Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris, Alyson Hannigon, Josh Radnor and Jason Segel wear some great costumes, and as EW puts it, “reenact some of the year’s most memorable moments…memorably!”

Costumes for your Car

by manny

Elf Car Costume

Don’t leave your car out of the fun this holiday season. Dress it up in an Elf Car Costume! Simply attach the weather-proof elf ears to the windows, and the elf hat to the front grill of your car, and presto! You’ll have the most festive car in town.

And if elves aren’t your thing, you can alway dress up your car as Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer.

“Yes Man” Costume Photos

by FunkyLady

Yes Man Movie

Yes, I know Jim Carrey is a comedic kind of guy, and he’s worn crazy costumes before, but check out these hilarious production stills from the Yes Man, coming to theater’s Friday, December 19th.

Yes Man Movie

There’s something so ridiculous about seeing Jim Carrey in a Harry Potter costume, isn’t there? But, I guess when you say “yes” to EVERYTHING, you’re going to end up in costume at some point or another.

Here’s a peek at the trailer. I can’t wait to see this, it looks pretty freakin’ funny, wouldn’t you say? (the answer to that is “YES,” by the way).

Bacon vs Mayo?

by manny

The video below is very odd. Which makes it perfect for MyDisguises.

Someone in a bacon costume battles someone in a mayonnaise costume - in a tub full of a 6,000 lbs of mayonnaise! Because everyone knows that bacon and mayo are bitter rivals, right?

Dark Knight Heavy-Lifting Tips

by manny

This is a pretty funny video from CollegeHumor.

Batman and the Joker team up to fight back pain in Better Living with B & J. It’s nice to see that two enemies can put aside their differences to make the world a better place.

Thanks to SBlakely for the tip.

 

Update (12-03-08) -
I didn’t realize that there are a ton of these Dark Knight PSA videos. These are funny, enjoy!

Special FX Thanksgiving: Revenge of the Gobbler

by FunkyLady

Imagine the worst Thanksgiving…ever. Would it be having to endure Aunt Nancy’s dusty stuffing and incessant chatter? Or, your sister’s bratty kids who use your body as their personal jungle gym?

I think the guys at Happy Birthday Harris Malden still have you beat. In their short film, Revenge of the Gobbler, created for Indy Mogul’s BackyardFX Show, these guys give you serious cause to consider just where your Thanksgiving Turkey came from! Props on the Special FX!

The Crazy Costumes of the “Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show”

by manny

Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show

It’s hard to describe the Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show. The show is bright and colorful, totally silly and has great costumes. They have a giant Panda, a Unicow (unicorn cow), Cownicorn (cow unicorn) and the host, Kiko, is a fun-loving Japanese woman who can never correctly pronounce anyone’s name.

This show is a very popular Youtube series. And if it doesn’t make sense to you, don’t worry, it’s not supposed to.

Man in Prisoner Costume gets Arrested

by manny

Man in Prisoner Costume gets Arrested

TheSmokingGun has a great mug shot on their website. Apparently, this guy got arrested on Halloween while wearing a prisoner costume. How funny.

This is the only photo, but according to the police report, his friends who were also arrested were described as “a female witch and a guy dressed as Jason from the “Friday the 13th” movies, and one man was wearing a coconut bikini top and Hawaiian leis.”

Sounds like we missed a great party at the police station. Ah, the irony.
