That Trendy Costume Guy

Ya wanna know how I got this Redsox Calendar?

And it is time for another installment of arguments against Darwinism, otherwise called That Guy. This week's that guy is one I am sure we are all familiar with and have had to suffer through over this wonderful weekend. I am talking about that trendy costume guy. From Neo to Jack Sparrow to the Joker, we can't escape that hoard of movie watching fanboys who want to be just like their big screen idols, to an infinitely shittier degree.

First and foremost that guy, you are not the Joker. Despite being a great role, Heath Ledger doomed us all by playing a psychopath dressed in clown makeup with a very easily copied voice. Therefore we already have droves of idiots who want to be this caked on sorry excuse of a costume. At least when Pirates of the Carribean was out, Jack Sparrow had a voice that was somewhat challenging to copy and thus no one walked around like they were in a drunken stupor, at least purposefully.

Halloween is a time for creativity. At the very least, be someone boring, something that's been done, something that takes more than "Hmm, that looks cool and everyone knows who that is and has a backstory, I'll be that." The worst part is though, despite being a costume of sheer laziness and uncreativity, that guy thinks he is being completely original and awesome. Maybe you and the forty seven other Jokers parading around the street. Great minds do think alike. Well, so do lemmings. Why don't you all go run off a cliff on a pile of syringes filled with AIDS. Then tell me where you got those scars and that abnormally low T-cell count.
That guy is incredibly frustrating because he is not a guy in costume, he is the character who shows up to your party, except he drinks your booze and tries to recite every single line from the movie in every possible context.

The Joker was particularly bad this Halloween. Everywhere I looked it looked like some sort of emo scenester clown college convention. All of them trying to out-Joker the other. Here's a tip that guy, if you want to be the most authentic, best joker of them all; take 4 bottles of sleeping pills and call me in the morning. HOOOHOOOHAHAHAHEEHEEHEEHEE
