The 30 Most Unsettling German Halloween Costumes

article image

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?

Kiri, I am English and Europeans do have Halloween, we kind of invented it quite a while before your country existed

the one with alf isn't David Hasselhoff, It's Atze, a not very comical white-trash comedian which, sadly, comes from my hometown.

Just for the record, Kiri, Halloween started in Europe and was brought over here. So the whole "Europeans know how to respect their ancestors" thing is kind of really bulls**t.

This isn't as funny as I expected it to be. I've seen worse at Carneval. Kids may celebrate Halloween, and maybe a couple of older Kids who like to dress like s**tty vampires...but Carnival actually is the costume-thing over here in germany. Try to google "Schnappi" the mostpoplar costume last year...no joke.

Kari & Jan,

You are both complete idiots. Every country has its good and bad points. I seem to remember that Germany pulled some seriously evil s**t in the fairly recent past. So tkae your whining, America bashing and shove it up your ill-informed ass. Andelle, thanks for pointing out the obvious grammatical problems that Kiri seems to have. I know, Kiri, counting can be difficult. Try using your fingers if you get stcuk next time.

Kiri, even if there wasn't Halloween in Germany, there are still German costumes.

Also... After reading some previous comments. To Kiri. Carnival is not only one letter shorter than Halloween, but they are the same number of syllables.

Is it just me, or are the little kid costumes eerily similar to the outfits Bert and Ernie wear?
