Mouth
In The Goonies, the wise-cracking Clarke Devereaux (Corey Feldman) is nicknamed Mouth. He’s fluent enough in Spanish to be able to crack jokes in two different languages. In true 80s fashion, Mouth sports a Members Only jacket, parachute pants, and big hair he maintains with the brush kept in his back pocket.
TF2 Soldier
In Team Fortress 2, Soldier is a fanatical, jingoistic American war machine hellbent on taking down the bad guys. Armed with a rocket launcher and shotty, what he lacks for in brain cells, Soldier makes up for with star spangled guts.

Agent J travels back to the 60s to stop him.
Lilly Poison
In Men in Black III, Lilly Poison (Nicole Scherzinger) is the alien lover of Boris the Animal, who helps him escape LunarMax Prison to get revenge on Agent K and Agent J by baking a cake and packing an unexpected surprise. For bonus points, use a real cake that you can eat at the end of the day.

Three-Hole-Punch Jim Halpert
In season 2 of The Office, Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) dresses up for the Halloween office party as three hole punch version of himself, as opposed to his usual plain white self. Cut the holes out of black felt, and when one falls off, you can easily convert to two hole punch Jim. His watch is the Victorinox Swiss Army Men’s Infantry #24656, but any watch with a white face and brown strap will do.
