Halloween is coming up in a few weeks, so of course that means I couldn’t resist sharing with you some of the worst Halloween costume ideas I’ve come across.

The Plug-In Outlet Halloween Costume:

It’s scary all right…scary that anyone would actually dress up in this! This one is from Things You Never Knew Existed.

Baby Wonder Bread Halloween Costume:

They’ll be wondering all right…wondering what the heck you were thinking forcing your kid into a costume like this one…What kid dreams of being bread for Halloween? You can get it here. Yes, there is one for adults, too!

The Car Freshener:

This one simply just wouldn’t work for a kid…one whiff of that diaper and there’d be no fooling anybody that you’re not a real car freshener. I’m sure you can find some better kids halloween costumes out there somewhere! Also available in an adult costume…from Amazon.

The Lost Dog Costume

Um…Do I really need to go into why this one made it to my list of the 10 worst Halloween costumes? You can see this one here.

Genie in a Lamp

This is one genie I would not want making all my wishes come true! Get it here.

Tinky Winky Adult Teletubbies Costume

While this one would be okay for a kid, there’s something very unsettling about this picture! Something like an Adult Tinky Winky TeleTubbies Costume should probably not exist.

My Peeps

Maybe because I associate Peeps with our Peep torturing Easter rituals…but even so, this still makes it to my list of the 10 worst Halloween costumes. From Amazon.

The Breathalyzer

In my experience, a Breathalyzer at a Halloween party is typically not a good sign…See more here.

The Giant Boob Costume

I could be wrong, but it just seems like something is missing from this Giant Boob Costume.

The Rat Trap

There’s nothing like wearing a Halloween costume that makes people not want to sit next to you.

So that’s it, my list of the 10 Worst Halloween costumes, I’ve also got some bad ideas for anyone interested in couples Halloween Costumes. Actually, they’re not as bad as these, but the Bacon & Eggs one I put over there should really be over here!

What’s the worst Halloween costume you’ve seen? You know I want to hear all about it!

I read today that over 2000 people each day are searching online for women kicking men in the groin.

Is this something people find amusing? Exhilirating?

Well, I did some research for Best of Stupid sake and found this video of women kicking men in the groin. Actually, it is more like a bunch of women kicking one man - this guy is trying to go for a world record of being kicked in the nuts the most times and enlisting complete random stranger volunteers at a park.

Stuff like women kicking men in the nuts and that kind of thing really all comes down to a big question:

Is it funny when people get hurt?

A lot of comedic humor has been based on the clumsiness of others or people who hurt each other. Think of the cartoon Tom & Jerry - they blow each other up, stab each other, chop each other up - you name it! Then there’s stuff like the classic guy who slipped on a banana peel or someone who sits down and misses the chair and falls flat on their butt.

This leads to another big question:

Have you ever actually seen somebody slip on a banana peel?

I have never witnessed firsthand someone slipping on a banana peel. No doubt this has something to do with a lack of banana peels on the ground. I did however see this video that’s super short and made me laugh, a banana peel slipping on a man on the ground:

So what do you think? Can you answer my big questions for me?
