Fred Savage in The Wizard
Fred Savage as Corey Woods co-stars with Rilo Kiley in The Wizard, a 100-minute Nintendo commercial for Super Mario Bros 3 and the Power Glove. I love this outfit. It’s so bad.
Max Fischer
Max Fischer’s life revolves around Rushmore Academy, but not for the academics, what with model UN, kung fu, calligraphy, beekeepers club, and what not. Oh, and he saved Latin — what did you ever do?
Ernest P. Worrell
Ernest P. Worrell, better known as Ernest Goes To…, is a bumbling but good-natured handyman. He was so popular in the 80’s that he was able to cross over from local TV commercials to a franchise spanning 10 films. It’s not too hard to replicate his outfit, but that face is another story. Knowhutimean?
McLovin
In Superbad, Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) uses a fake ID to buy alcohol for a party. On the downside, the fake ID is not too subtle, issued by the state of Hawaii to a man named simply “McLovin”. On the upside, it makes a great accessory for his not too subtle “grown-up” clothes.
Paulie Bleeker
Paulie Bleeker, played by George Michael Blu– err Michael Cera, is an awkward teen who harbors a long-time crush on Juno MacGuff and somehow manages to get her pregnant. His only vice is orange Tic Tacs, which admittedly are the best Tic Tacs of all.
Juno MacGuff
Juno (Ellen Page) is a whip-smart teen who discovers she’s pregnant, by Michael Cera no less, and must learn to handle the consequences. This outfit also works great if you can supply your own beer belly.
Ratatouille
In Ratatouille, young Alfredo Linguini and Remy the rat team up to become critical darlings of the culinary world. With this ensemble, you’ll fit right in working at a fine French restaurant, but you might wanna keep your furry friend under the toque.
E.T. and Elliott
It’s Halloween 1982, and Elliott’s on a mission to get E.T. back to his home planet. His alien buddy may be a nudist, but that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t bundle up for his epic bike ride.
Beavis
Not the brightest crayon in the box, Beavis spends most of his time watching TV and doing whatever Butt-head tells him to do. Although, if you put enough caffeine in him he becomes an entirely different person known as “Cornholio.” Don’t worry, this look is easy to achieve as well. You just have to pull your Metallica shirt over your head. It’s almost like two costumes in one.
