We’ve all seen your plugs and outlets, your peanut butters and jellies, your Jack Skellingtons and Sallies, your Marios and Luigis, your Fred and Wilma Flintstones – but, how often do you see a deer and headlights, or a Bob Ross and Canvas?

The omnipotent internet giant Amazon is brimming with everything you need to rock this Halloween with your partner in crime. Of course, they offer the classics, like Gomez and Morticia Addams, but there are many sellers who provide costumes that are nothing like your mom or dad’s vampire-getup from the ’80’s.

If anyone asks why you and your partner decided to dress up as Derek Zoolander and Hansel McDonald this year, just blame it on the crazy pills.

Rocking a soap and loofah costume lets everyone know you’re in a, “you scrub my back, I scrub yours,” relationship.

Toothbrush and Toothpaste

“This set includes a toothbrush costume and a toothpaste costume. Costume sets are unisex and one size fits most adults and teens.”

A few years back, a dental hygienist told me she was going to a Halloween party as “Greek yogurt.” Her costume consisted of a bedsheet fashioned into a toga with the word “YOGURT” written on it in permanent marker.

I would’ve been much more impressed if she told me she were going as a toothbrush or a tube of toothpaste.

Poop and Toilet Paper

I guess you can’t “step in it” if you are, well, “it…” Still, make sure you watch where you step as you’re carousing the town on Halloween night!

Pointing and OK Emojis

“These two costumes together form a certain well-known gesture that should be very popular at parties and at halloween. Includes 2 costumes in bag – one pointer costume and one ok costume. One size fits most up to 6′ /200lbs.”
