16 Best And Worst Halloween Costumes Characters Wore

ABC, NBC

Halloween is on its way, and you may be wondering what costume you plan on wearing to your upcoming party, work gathering, or something to throw on to greet children who come to beg for candy at your door. The emphasis on “candy.” Don’t be one of those places that have pencils, pennies, fruit, or whatever. It’s gotta be candy.

Now, back to the topic at hand, you may be searching for costume, ideas but don’t want to try being a wolfman, vampire, or wolfpire again. Why not look at the best source of ideas: television! Several of your favorite TV characters have gotten dressed up for Halloween, with varying levels of success. Some have great ideas and execution of costumes. Others… Well, it’s debatable. On one hand, they’re lazy or bad, but even lazy/bad can have a little genius in them. 

Here are some Halloween costumes that various television characters have donned for the holiday.

The Office

Halloween costumes of fictional characters OK BO The Office WORST Jim Halpert as Facebook This is kinda clever if you're not much of a costume person, but at some point it seems less insulting to the other costumed party goers if you don't just show up as yourself with marker on your face.

NBC

The Big Bang Theory

Halloween costumes of fictional characters WALKING OZOMBIE ٨ The Big Bang Theory BEST Leonard Hofstadter as Inspector Gadget This costume plays within Leonard's inherent dorkiness, but with a fun headpiece prop. If he swaps the hat, he could double as a hard-nosed detective or a trench coat pervert at any time, too. CRACKED.COM

CBS

Parks and Recreation

Halloween costumes of fictional characters Parks and Recreation WORST Ron Swanson as My Halloween Costume Is he a minimalist pirate? A feudal serf? The pub owner at a Robin Hood-themed bar? The answer to all of these is yes and no at the same time. In a way, it's kinda genius. CRACKED.COM

NBC

The Simpsons

Halloween costumes of fictional characters ٨ The Simpsons BEST Sideshow Mel as Spider-Man Mel is showing real commitment in finding a skin-tight Spidey outfit that can fit over his beehive hairdo. CRACKED.COM

Fox

The Venture Bros

Halloween costumes of fictional characters The Venture Bros. WORST Hank Venture as The Bat Clearly representing a particular Caped Crusader, this costume and others like it were staples in every store around Halloween time if you grew up in the late '70s/early '80s. Ask your uncle. CRACKED.COM

Adult Swim

Regular Show

Halloween costumes of fictional characters BEST Regular Show Rigby as M. Bison A nice homage to the bad boss of the classic Street Fighter II game. Dressing as a dictator also fits Rigby's personality a little too well. CRACKED.COM

Cartoon Network

South Park

Halloween costumes of fictional characters South Park WORST Stan Marsh as Raggedy Andy Look at how sad he looks! The guy should have just gone with the flow and wear a Chewbacca costume like everyone else in his grade. CRACKED.COM

Comedy Central

Family Guy

Halloween costumes of fictional characters THE ٨ Family Guy BEST Chris Griffin as Optimus Prime If a costume is good enough to fool your sister (see the episode Halloween on Spooner Street for context), it's good enough here. Plus it's not the Michael Bay version, so points for that. CRACKED.COM

Fox

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Halloween costumes of fictional characters TMNT (2003) WORST The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as themselves Since the TMNT look like costumed humans on Halloween, they can just walk around as themselves during the holiday. On one hand, this shouldn't count because they're not wearing costumes. On the other hand, how many of you dressed up as a Ninja Turtle for Halloween? They're pretty much doing the same thing.

Nickelodeon

Euphoria

Halloween costumes of fictional characters ٨ Euphoria BEST Lexi Howard as Bob Ross Spot-on costume, and screw the haters. Halloween is fun and Lexi gets it. CRACKED.COM

HBO

The Simpsons

Halloween costumes of fictional characters The Simpsons WORST Homer Simpson as a hobo It's true that being a hobo is a lazy costume, but if you just want to let go and eat beans straight from a can, you do you. CRACKED.COM

Fox

The Goldbergs

Halloween costumes of fictional characters M RIPLEY ٨ The Goldbergs BEST Dana and Adam as Ripley and the Xenomorph A nice cute couples costume for the teens that more couples could replicate in the future. That and the Robocop/ED-209 that Adam and his mom wore together in a previous year. CRACKED.COM

ABC

King of the Hill

Halloween costumes of fictional characters King of the Hill WORST Bill Dauterive as a ghost/toga party guy It's just a sad bed sheet, but props to Bill for being able to improvise when he tears a big hole into it. CRACKED.COM

Fox

Bob's Burgers

Halloween costumes of fictional characters CLOSED Bob's Burgers BEST Gene Belcher as Andre 3000 the Giant There's nothing better than mixing 1980s pro wrestling with 2000s progressive rap to make The 8th Wonder of the World into The 8th Wonder of Atlanta. Gene deserves all the full bars for this one. CRACKED COM

Adult Swim

How I Met Your Mother

Halloween costumes of fictional characters 4C How I Met Your Mother WORST Everyone as John Bender from The Breakfast Club If you're going in a group costume, y'all have to figure it out in advance. The only way this could work is if each Bender was mildly different, in a Crisis on Infinite Breakfast Clubs sort of way. CRACKED.COM

CBS

Community

Halloween costumes of fictional characters Rr ET YOUR KEIF are N B ALLEW T'e 14 IF ٨ Community BEST Abed and Troy as Calvin and Hobbes Most couples costumes are for... well, couples. But Troy and Abed found a great costume that fits their friendship, especially since Abed often blurs fantasy with reality like Calvin does. CRACKED.COM
