Okay, it’s not really a costume, but hey: steam punkin!
Over on the , I’ve been counting down the days to the best holiday, Halloween, with a celebration of pun-based costumes. Just in case you missed the countdown, here are the highlights:
10. Pugkin Spice Latte
Adorable and seasonal.
9. 50 Shades of Grey
The SFW version.
8. Fantasy Football
The best defense is a good Gandalf.
7a. Reigning Cats and Dogs
7b. A Coat of Arms
The writers on New Girl clearly love a good pun. Not pictured: Bee Arthur.
6. Cleocatra
This is possibly the only costume a cat would be proud to wear. She still looks a little embarrassed, though.
5. Spelling Bees
Combining three of LJBC’s favorite things: spelling, puns, and cuteness.
4. Chicken Cord on Blue
Still scrambling to put something together? This is probably the easiest last-minute costume on this list.
3. Heisenburger
Feeling sad about the end of Breaking Bad? This will cheer you up.
2. French Kiss
Rock ‘n’ rolling all night fills them with such ennui, no?
1. Stegatortoise
Cutest costume ever. This seriously makes me want to take up crochet. And reptile ownership.
Samuel Johnson famously claimed that puns were the lowest form of humor, but I think this post proves that a good pun is its own reword. Happy Halloween, everyone!
