Felix Unger is a main character in the sitcom The Odd Couple, based on the play by Neil Simon. Although this show has had many reboots and spin-offs, Tony Randall portrayed Felix in the original show from the 1970s. He is the strait-laced, fretful best friend of Oscar Madison. He enjoys singing, mainly with the opera club. When both their wives leave, they move into an apartment together, and hilarity ensues. Unlike Oscar, he maintains a neat, professional sense of style. While he mainly wears suits, he owns some shirts with funky patterns, as well as an orange robe.

Larry Johnson is a character in the indie horror video game Sally Face. He is Sal’s best friend, and later on, he becomes his stepbrother.

Use the black eye pencil to line under your eyes and draw the mole on your left cheek.

The orb pondering wizard is the subject of the “Pondering My Orb” meme. More simply known as “Ponder Orb,” this meme became viral on Twitter in October 2021. The original picture comes from a 1988 gamebook titled Middle-Earth Quest: A Spy In Isengard, for a role-playing game based on Lord of the Rings. Perhaps this wizard is related to Gandalf?

Man Cheetah is one of the many alter egos of Frank Reynolds (Danny DeVito) in It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. His other alter egos include Doctor Mantis Tobaggan, Ongo Gablogian, the Trash Man, and Man Spider. Use the black face paint to draw the nose and freckles.

Chloe Bourgeois is a character in the French animated children’s show Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. Bossy and arrogant, she is Marinette’s rival. Upon finding the Bee Miraculous inhabited by pollen, Chloe became Queen Bee, a bee themed antihero. However, she gets banished from the French Superhero Team for her evil deeds.

Uncle Chester (Edward Knuckles) is a character in The Big Comfy Couch, a Canadian children’s show from the 90s. He is Loonette’s traveling uncle who appears in the final two seasons. His name is believed to be a parody of Uncle Fester from The Addams Family. His outfit is a mishmash of different fabrics and colors — including a bright yellow kilt!

Logan Roy (played by Brian Cox) is the overbearing patriarch at the heart of HBO’s Succession.  The CEO and founder of Waystar Royco, three of Logan’s children, Kendall, Roman, and Siobhan all vie for power within the family’s company.  Logan grew up in poverty in Scotland, but the clothing he wears now befits his status as a rich and powerful businessman.  Logan also often favors cozy sweaters, sometimes layering them with a blazer.

Captain Charlie is one of the three playable characters in Pikmin 3, alongside Brittany and Alph.  Captain Charlie has a brown mohawk and thin mustache, and wears a white suit with green details and matching gloves.  Taking a little time with a pair of white coveralls and shoe covers can really help personalize the look.  Use some green paint to create the green panel at the front of his suit, and even add green to the soles of the shoe covers.  Don’t forget to add his yellow star badge.  If you don’t want to grow a mustache like Captain Charlie’s, a brown eyebrow pencil can achieve a similar effect.

Holly Hale (played by Carmel Electra) is a character in the parody film Scary Movie 4.  Holly is blind, a parody of Ivy Elizabeth Walker from the M. Night Shyamalan film The Village.  Holly’s Amish-inspired costuming is much more overtly sexy than the real thing, so it might be difficult to find an exact match for her blue prairie dress.  But you can focus on matching the print, silhouette, or neckline if you can’t find one that meets all the requirements at once.  Pairing your dress with a wooden walking stick, short red wig, and a good sense of humor will top off the look.  If you’re more interested in recreating the sexy lingerie costuming Holly reveals in the film, a lace bodysuit can add a little extra coverage than the original.
