Let’s Commemorate Nintendo’s 125th Birthday With Fun Costumes

Today is Nintendo’s quasquicentennial, which is a word I learned when my hometown turned 125 years old. It’s a fun word to call people, because they’ll think you’re insulting them. Nintendo was founded on September 23, 1889. Even though the company’s valued at around $85 billion today, it started as a small trading card and playing card company that branched into building pachinko machines (the original Plinko, long before The Price Is Right) and eventually released the first NES in 1983. In the interim, they built toys, ran a taxi service, opened love hotels (seriously), and tried numerous other ventures to stay afloat before hitting it big with the NES.

To think, back when Nintendo started, there were 38 states in the U.S. and Thomas Edison filmed his first moving picture. To celebrate Nintendo’s 125th birthday, we’ve collected cosplay pictures of some of the most recognizable characters to any Nintendo fan. This list is in no way exhaustive, but there’s no need to complain about that in the comments. Don’t be a quasquicentennial.

It’s already October. (What? How? I need to speak to the manager. This is an outrage!) This being October means we only have a few more weeks of procrastination before we try to slap together a last minute costume for our geeky selves.

As was our tradition last year and the year before that, we’re collecting a roundup of costumes even lazy geeks like us can make on a reasonable budget. That last picture on the second page is totally my look for this year.

When you’re done with these, you can also check out some of our other Halloween costumes:

Earlier today we rounded up some geeky Halloween costumes which are relatively inexpensive to make, and in previous years we rounded up some pop culture costumes here and here. But there are more costume ideas where those came from, and this time we’re turning our attention to pop culture characters and movies.

Here are another 25 costumes of varying degrees of difficulty, all unified in being creatively executed and instantly recognizable to many. Ready? OH YEAH.

Yesterday we brought you funny costumes from movies and comic books, but my favorite costumes of all may be the ones based on TV shows. These instantly recognizable, often inexpensive costumes entertained us, and we hope they give you some ideas. If nothing else, it should remind you to watch more TV.

Continue on for 25 Halloween costumes that are inexpensive enough that you won’t have to become a meth kingpin to afford them. Although if you do decide to become a meth kingpin, film it and win, like, so many Emmys.

It’s already October, somehow, so we’ve been rounding up entertaining costumes to give you some ideas (or just something to laugh at). For this gallery, we turned our attention to pop culture costumes ranging from celebrities to historical figures to Disney, Pixar, and other movies we watched a dozen times in the ’80s and ’90s.

We went a little heavy on the puns in this gallery, because if we can’t be completely silly while dressing like someone from history, those people on the Titanic fought in the Muskrat Wars of 1742 for nothing.

Halloween is coming, and we’ve already recommended funny costumes for people, but what about our pets? Who will humiliate them, if not us? To that end, we’ve collected pictures of cats and dogs in pop culture Halloween costumes.

Let’s be honest. These cute little bastards have no idea who they’re dressed as, but they’re just happy to be included. Well, the dogs are happy. The cats are currently plotting all of our deaths, but they’ll look adorable when our uppence comes.

These Cute Animals In Halloween Costumes Are Going Geeky This Year

Yesterday we brought you 25 cute animals in Halloween costumes based on TV shows, movies, music, etc. But there were plenty of animals in costumes based around comic books, video games, and other nerdy media. Today we collect another 25 pictures of adorable dogs and perturbed cats in their geeky finery. It’s a good thing these superhero pets don’t have real superpowers, or we’d all be taken to task for putting them in little outfits.

These Cats And Dogs Are Ready For Halloween, Possibly Plotting Against Us

Earlier this week we introduced you to 25 cute animals in Halloween costumes based on pop culture, as well as some cats and dogs in geeky finery.

But what about the cats and dogs who have been coerced — through the clever use of treats — into wearing Halloween costumes that didn’t fit into our pop culture or geeky categories? Were these put-upon pets humiliated for nothing? No, we say! Let them have their day on the Internet, forever touted and remembered for that time they wore the lobster suit. No need to thank us, Lobster Cat. The look on your face is thanks enough.

The With Spandex Halloween Round-Up: Our Favourite Wrestling Fan Costumes Of 2014

Halloween is my favourite time of year. The costumes, the spooky decorations, the ridiculously cheap post-Halloween jewelry sales I use to pad my daily wardrobe for the rest of the year. As much as I love the twinkle lights and cranberry-everything of Christmas, Halloween is my jam.

You’ve already seen Daniel Bryan’s predictably adorable Halloween costume, and the bevy of fans who dressed up as Ridiculous Turtleneck Dwayne Johnson. This year we put a call out to our readers who fought the good fight of patiently explaining their wrestling costumes to everyone they met, and man, you guys did not disappoint.

Did you have a super cool wrestling get-up not seen here? Hit us up in the comments, on Facebook, or Twitter and let us see what you were working with this year. Until then, click through to see our favourite wrestling fan costumes of 2014.

Ryan Reynolds Revealed Deadpool’s Suit In Fine Wade Wilson Fashion

Deadpool, thanks to fan love, is finally getting his own movie. Needless to say, Deadpool loves his fans. Somewhat inappropriately, if the official reveal of his movie suit is any indication.

See for yourself:

If you’re wondering why that image looks familiar, he’s not the first Reynolds to recline on a bearskin rug. Actually, this looks almost exactly like the suit we saw in the clip that leaked, and it is, of course, faithful to the comics. All we need now is a trailer, but in the meantime, just stare lovingly at that image. We’ll even set the mood with a little music:

Wearing The Classic ‘Daredevil’ Costume Was A Memorable Experience For Charlie Cox

Marvel/Mike Allred


Vincent D’Onofrio and Charlie Cox sat in for a Reddit AMA to promote Daredevil before it lands on Netflix this Friday, revealing a few interesting tidbits along the way. The biggest assurance for fans came from Cox, confirming the classic Daredevil costume.

This came up as the result of a question from Reddit user trekstark, also throwing in a little hypothetical about Batman:

Hi! Mr. Cox, did you prefer using the red Daredevil suit or the black one we have seem in the trailers? Also, who would win in a fight, Batman or Daredevil?

I love both of the suits. Obviously it was great to involve the John Romita Jr. black ninja costume but the day I first put on the iconic costume is a day I will never forget. I would have to back Daredevil against Batman but that may be because I am close to him now.

I’m sure plenty of people are going to zoom to an episode that features the classic costume the instant the episodes are posted on Friday morning. That’s where the true review for the show will come for some, all based on that costume. It can’t be much worse than what we’ve seen in the past, so I’m not worried.

As for the other question, I’d like to see Ben Affleck and Charlie Cox fight each other in the street. Have it play like some silly comic book movie turf war, all Jason Momoa’s fault. Photoshop the costumes on them like SNL did to Michael Keaton.

Behind The Viral Image: ‘Pug Man’ Tells The Story Behind His High-Level Dog Troll

0

pug man

Mark Potts


A few weeks ago, I came across this picture on Tumblr and posted it on Facebook. Sometimes I do that, share weird/funny/incredible images with my friends, most of whom don’t get to spend all day dicking around on the internet like I do. “Pug Man” really hit all the buttons for me. It still makes me laugh every time I look at it. The amount of effort that seems to have gone into pranking a dog is impressive, and the look on the dog’s face makes it all worth it. It’s high-level dog trolling. Which is strange, yet also universal – I always find myself singing weird songs and performing impromptu dances for dogs or babies. Getting a reaction out of them is so satisfying for some reason. Plus, it’s a pug, which have more or less been transformed from ferocious beasts into the ideal butt of jokes through thousands of years of genetic engineering – like clowns we built so we’d have something to throw pies at. It says a lot about how much time humans spend solely on entertaining ourselves, and this picture seems like the logical extension of that impulse.

Soon after I’d posted it, a friend tagged someone who turned out to be the actual Pug Man in the comments. It’s rare that you get the backstory on the random images you use as a substitute for real connection with your friends (and people you haven’t seen since high school), and I thought, what an opportunity. Not that the picture itself isn’t worth more than a thousand words already, but I asked Pug Man, aka Mark Potts, if he could tell us a little more about it.

FILMDRUNK: First of all, tell us, who and why are you?

MARK POTTS: My name is Mark Potts. I live in Los Angeles and am a freelance editor by day, writer and videomaker by other parts of the day and night. I’m a part of the sketch group Heckbender, which you’ve featured before. I’ve made a few feature films, the last being Cinema Six, which is a film you’ve featured the trailer for as well as let us use a Filmdrunk shirt in. I like getting up early and I think breakfast should be eaten for every meal.

Okay, so I guess the obvious question I have to ask, since this is the internet…  ‘shopped or not shopped? Be honest, is this picture fake and/or gay? If not, how did it come to be?

It is 100% real. I own that mask, that shirt, and that pug. Though all were bought at different times. Here’s the original tweet by my wife.

(Borat voice) MAH WAHFE.

[Silence]

Sorry, force of habit. Where did you get the mask? Is the tongue part of the mask or is that your tongue sticking out of it?

I bought the mask after seeing it through the window of an Urban Outfitters. The man checking me out was very confused why I was paying $20 for it. As was I. The tongue is built into the mask.

Are you kidding? I’d pay at least… $29 – $35 for that mask. So, what’s the dog’s name? How many different takes did it take to get that perfect look of surprise? 

Gizmo T. Pug is six years old, from Texas, and enjoys sleeping, eating, and reading Chuck Klosterman’s essays on Billy Joel. He was that surprised/scared the entire time. That’s the first picture we took. There is a second where I am looking at him and he hasn’t changed expressions at all.

PugMan2

Mark Potts


As you can see, Gizmo’s reaction hasn’t changed. I felt sort of guilty afterwards, but I gave him a new bone and some bacon treats and he was fine. I imagine he forgot about it quickly. I also realized at that moment I think of my dog too much like a real person, which is an entirely different issue.

So was it your wife taking the picture?

Yeah, she took the picture.

What did your wife say about this? Was she in on it? Is she just used to these kinds of games? Have you done any other dog trolling?

Oh, my request for her to take the photo was met with a hearty sigh, but full support. I’m proud to say we are both fully aware of how absurd and slightly stupid or obsession with our dog is. He has a Twitter and a Facebook page and she updates those more than I do. Seriously. It’s so dumb. But pugs are better than cats and it’s something the internet needs to learn. And if we have to be the stupid looking people who lead the revolution, then so be it. History will be on our side.

Did you get any flack for “cruelty” from any of the online brigade of animal crazies? How many different places have you seen it show up? Oh yeah, and WHEN did you take the pictures?

Shockingly, nothing about cruelty. People always point out how scared Gizmo looks, but pugs sorta always look scared by everything. A few people on reddit seemed to be slightly upset by his look, but there will be people upset about anything and everything. I’m sure someone hates that we are using a typewriter as a computer stand in the background.

The picture was taken last August, towards the end of the month. She posted it on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. Then I posted it on reddit and that’s when it exploded. Now, I’ve seen it used all over the place. It pops up on random Twitter accounts. I know a few sports websites have posted it as “shocked reaction” pics. It’s popped up a lot on Instagram. I get notifications a few times a month from friends who see it. Instagram user thefatjewish posted it a while back and he has a huge following.

And of course, you comment on these posts and say, “Hey, that’s mine!” but you get nothing because many of these users have tons of fans and receive tons of comments as it is. And I’m not expecting takedowns or anything like that. I don’t want it taken down from anywhere, actually. I bought the mask for a feature, Spaghetti Man, my comedy group Heckbender is making and this was just a silly pic to show the guys what it looked like and it’s awesome the pic, and my dog, will live on forever, popping up in random places at random times. And I’ve learned I should probably watermark anything like that, but I also hate watermarks. My BS artsy side says it ruins the image, but my rational, business side says that is stupid. And it probably is, so I’ll watermark any pics that contain more than one image of a pug from now on.

Thank you very much for this. I think we did important work here.

Thank you. I really appreciate it. Finally, the credit I deserve!

Charlize Theron Played An Odd Game Of Dress Up With Jimmy Fallon On ‘The Tonight Show’

Charlize Theron dropped by The Tonight Show on Monday to chat with Jimmy Fallon about her new film Mad Max: Fury Road. Things got a little odd when they chose each others’ crazy outfits for the above segment.

Looking kind of like Elton John, Fallon confessed he wasn’t too sure if he was supposed to be a man or woman. Charlize set the record straight by telling him he was a woman by the name of Rosetta McClintock. Apparently Rosetta McClintock likes to f*ck.

When it was his turn, Fallon informed Charlize that her character used to play bass for Prince and her name was Bonanza.

If only Bonanza would play the bass version of the Bonanza theme song. That’d be awesome.

Here’s The First Look At The Uniforms From Paul Feig’s ‘Ghostbusters’

Paul Feig’s upcoming (don’t you dare call it Lady) Ghostbusters movie has been filming for several weeks now, which means we’re due for plenty of paparazzi set photos that will answer questions like, “What do these actresses look like when they’re pretending to fight ghosts?” and “OMG, is that catering truck part of a scene or are they, like, just feeding the crew?” Fortunately, Feig is a lot better at teasing us than most directors, so he cut to the chase today and gave us all a first look at the costumes that Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy will wear when they take on a new all-powerful ghost that will presumably be bigger and better than Gozer or Viggo.

Now all you have to do is imagine the actresses in those costumes and it’s like you’re looking at the first poster for Feig’s (seriously, stop calling it Lady) Ghostbusters. Or if you’re one of the people who hates this idea, you can print this picture out, crumple it up, and throw it in a trash can. That’ll show them all for messing with your childhood.


Bryan Singer Teases The Original Comic Book Costumes In ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’

Comic-Con International 2015 - 20th Century FOX Panel

Although the San Diego Comic-Con is over, trailers, bootlegs and interviews are still pouring forth from the comic book and fantasy media frenzy. Case in point, Bryan Singer’s interview with Yahoo! News, where he took fan-submitted questions and answered them on camera. One of the more interesting exchanges concerned the look of the characters in X-Men: Apocalypse, and whether or not they’d resemble their comic book forebears.

The question, posed by X-Men: News, asks the director, “Will we ever see the traditional colored X-Men costumes in the films?” Singer responds, saying:

“The X-Men are sort of a fighting team, so it was always an attempt at being realistic to have them in fighting uniforms, flight suits, things like that. In X-Men: First Class, which I produced and wrote the story for, we harked back to the original colors of the original costumes from the 1963 comic, which were all the same — they were uniforms. They eventually evolved into the colors.

“But I will say in X-Men: Apocalypse, there is a chance, without giving anything away, that you may get closer to seeing what I think…you are interested in seeing. I know it’s something I’ve been interested in. I’ve just always wanted to do it the right way.”

Considering Olivia Munn’s story about lubing up to fit into Psylocke’s costume for the film, there’s a good chance what Singer refers to here isn’t just a throwaway means of getting past an all-too-often-asked question.

Let’s face it — when it comes to film fans, comic book aficionados are the best and the worst, especially if they feel a director has steered too far away from their beloved, tear-soaked source material. Why else would Ryan Reynolds and the Deadpool gang emphasize how faithful their film is to the comics that inform the film?

Surprise, Puddin: Here Are The Best Harley Quinn Costumes From Saturday Night

0
0

As predicted about a week ago, Harley Quinn was a major contender for the Halloween crown in terms of sheer numbers who embraced the character for their own (ideally) drunken revelry. In retrospect, this collective decision isn’t surprising at all. Indeed, ever since Suicide Squad promotion began, Harley’s been a crowd favorite. Men want her so badly, and women think she’s pretty badass with a sweet sense of complimentary color coordination.

The Harley fascination has persisted, and from revealing set photos to the film’s initial trailer, her immediate appeal attracted a wide audience. Although she’s inexplicably tied to the Joker, Harley is obviously a major ticket seller when it comes to the comic book-movie going public.

Here are some of the better Halloween attempts at a Harley Quinn costume. She comes with or without the Joker in tow, although I suspect the latter doesn’t matter too much. Perhaps the Joker is preoccupied with Batman, or maybe Jared Leto himself is busy method-ing the hell out of the entire production, but Harley takes the cake here. And you like cake, right? Here’s the best of the Harley cake from Halloween 2015:

This Year You Outdid Yourselves: An Instagram Halloween Costume Roundup

The Flintstones were there. The Star Wars crew and Kardashian-West family too. Side by side Cat and the Hats showed up a little late, but they made it. Everyone came out this year. Where the hell were you? The cereal box gang even showed up right around the time Olaf and Elsa did a surprise set. The full spectrum of outfits were thrown together with “sexy” and “sassy” continuing to lead the way, often in a skirt or just underwear (which is an observation, not a complaint).

As ever, college frats were… ugh, c’mon bros it’s 2015, do we really have to explain this? But, in general, people seemed to be more racially and culturally sensitive. Good on all of you for that one. Some costumes were meticulously planned and pieced together months in advance, while others were put together minutes before (or hours after) the first drink of the holiday was had.

Here’s our collection of the best social media had to offer. Enjoy them as you wash off your zombie gore and replace it with makeup to commemorate Dia de los Muertos.

This Cat Seems Really Psyched About 2016 Being The Year Of The Monkey

Subscribe to UPROXX

2016 is the Year Of The Monkey in the Chinese zodiac calendar, so YouTube cat hoarder 10 Cats celebrated by convincing a cat to dress as a monkey. Between this and drunk Don Lemon and Twitter roasting Jenny McCarthy, 2016 is already starting right.

We can’t help but giggle at this awfully patient ginger tabby cat named Osamu willing to go to embarrassing lengths to get a banana. How’d you let it come to this, Osamu? Then again, if the way my cat reacts when she smells banana cream pudding is any indication, bananas have the power to make cats temporarily forego any sense of self-respect and hurtle headlong into “I will wear a damn monkey costume if you give me that” mode.

At some point — perhaps when two other cats give Osamu the “what are you wearing?” look — this monkey-suited tabby seems to have a moment of reflection, an existential crisis almost. As if the cat is pondering, “Am I wearing the monkey suit, or is the monkey suit wearing me?”

Happy Year Of The Monkey, everyone. We hope the monkey suit doesn’t wear you.

Modern technology and materials, backed by enormous budgets, let costume designers build superhero outfits for the Avengers that both look good and make sense. But Marvel’s heroes weren’t always so lucky.

The most prominent film studio fashion victim, by far, is Captain America. In 1979, Butch Deadlift himself, Reb Brown, starred in two TV movies that had him in a gigantic motorcycle helmet and unfortunately tight pants. In 1990, he got his official costume back, but unfortunately it was a little too accurate; since Cap’s ears stuck out from his cowl, the costume team stuck Matt Salinger with a hood that had rubber ears attached.

Closely following Cap is the Fantastic Four. The notorious 1994 movie, never released, based the costumes on the original comic, at least, but it didn’t have the budget to make them look good. The 2005 movie, on the other hand, did, and put them in shiny disco jumpsuits with inexplicably clunky boots. It’s still a better look than Doctor Doom, who has a coat that won’t even cover his steel navel, but not by much.

On the bright side, at least Jessica Jones knew her outfit wasn’t going to work. At least somebody in the Marvel Universe has a little fashion sense.
