The 30 Most Unsettling German Halloween Costumes
|
Here’s Robin Hood, standing proudly with the weapon he’s least famous for. What’s wrong Germany, couldn’t you find a boomerang to give him?
These two represent the two houses of German parliament, according to an update we just posted on Wikipedia.
Do you see this Hillary Clinton? Do you see?! Look into the true face of socialized medicine!
It's the neck trunks that make these costumes, since we're all picturing the guy chatting up another party guest while sucking down a nearby beer with his trunk (for the purposes of this scenario, we're assuming the guy just got a tracheotomy).
Hey, you know who would find this offensive? Cavemen. You know who else? Fucking everybody.
This costume relies on a well-known stereotype, the greedy Asian chef. In Germany, Asian chefs are routinely blamed for the country's ills.
Admittedly, we’ve grouped a bunch of the most racially tone-def costumes together; very few of the costumes we saw on German costume websites were this bad. But let’s be honest: These costumes should never have been made in the first place. It’s like they’ve never even seen a person in Germany who wasn’t white. Could it get any worse than this?
Holy fuck.
Well, that looks utterly impractical. At least it’s kind of cute. Hey, we wonder what else could be done in this vein?

This article is plain weird and a little bit biased.
Okay it is really biased.
American or Japanese costumes are thousand times worse.
And I really believe that "Robin Hood" is more than likely Little John.
And to all the people who scream racism, when they see those ethnic costume:
You know what? Germany is actually really casual about such things.
Because people know it is a freaking joke.
germany is awesome. my favorite offensive american costume is definately the illegal alien costume they were selling at target. it was an alien mask with or without a cheech moustache in an orange jumpsuit holding a green card. its too bad were so loving to illegals that they pulled it from shelves.
Germany's a cool place.
Oh come on people, if you google even for a few minutes you can find much worse junk than this for every other country, including your beloved US. Change that to "especially your beloved US".
I'd say more than three quarters of these are completely ridiculous, not only is the text about Germany complete bullshit, but also does it go so far as to continually blame Germany for pretty much all racial and anti-semitic junk that pops up anywhere.
I've been reading Cracked for a long time now, there's some truly great stuff here. And nobody minds the occasional jokes about and against pretty much anybody, but an entire article dedicated to how stupid Germans must be? What's that all about?
Oh yeah only all British People call it the Union Jack, so let's make a big deal about it.
That costume called "America Boy" isn't of the Union Jack, it's the Union Flag. It's only called the Union Jack when it's flown from a ship, a fact that very few realise. My year 9 history teacher soon learned to call it the Union Flag after a year of my correcting him ^_^
Nice article - the latter few costumes were... disturbing...
The racial costumes made me laugh so f*****g hard. I think the "holy f**k" in the middle is when I lost it
How do you walk through doors, when wearing that fish costume?
I wonder if those are costumes for Halloween or for german Karneval, because for Karneval they should be just ridiculous (which would match all those furry-suits) and for Halloween the costumes usually try to be more scary.
Some of them wouldn´t fit either way, cause there is no excuse for bad taste like that...
I just want a picture of the dreidle saying something like "I represent the cruel deaths of millions!"
Dreidel.
The black guy was face-palm inducing. And the Jewish Top (how are they called in English?) features the wrong letters.
that guy with the curly hair and glasses isn't supposed to be Davin Hasselhoff, that's a German "comedian" named Atze Schröder.
concerning all the dudes in blackface - Americans find this offensive, but should note that no one over there minds, not even black people, because they know it's all in good fun.
like the things posted below about Sinterklaas - no one takes offense, because it's a tradition that was never meant in a racist way.
but of course, for Americans, it probably brings back memories of a time when black people where forced to sit on the back of the bus and entertainers played black people with brown paint on their face.
anyway, a little understanding please...
Dude, I would actually wear the dreidel costume, it's cute.
Ah Germany, how I wish to move there.
Dreidl costume in Germany? You would think that would be outlawed by now. They've outlawed everything else Nazi-esqe. Rightfully so.
i like the last one
oh wow, I've just been censored myself. I guess it then must make sense... the word was n e g r o. or egronay, anayway, I'm just trying to get a point across. Or is someone getting paid for recognizing all 'profanity' and spending the day changing letters to a*******s?
... the utterly insulting black dude (yes the one that deserved the comment 'holy f**k' is a Dutch invention. If you are willing to be shocked right after thanksgiving, there's loads of these buggers on the streets for Sinterklaas. They are called Zwarte Piet, which could translate to "Black Pete". The dutch also used to have a kind of candy that was named negerzoen, which translates into 'n***o kiss'. Though being a rather unoffensive creamfilled chocolate on a wafer, the term negerzoen was banned from the dutch vocabulary recently. The name of the chocolate is censored to just 'kiss'. Zwarte Piet is, however, still going strong every frigging year. And yes, he is the servant of a very white man. If you feel like it, look up sinterklaas any time

Actually the guy in the red/blue costume with his face painted black is a dutch "Black Pete" from our national holiday, Sinterklaas (and yes it is the origin of Santa Clause). Only our elves are black and kidnap you.
