Party Down is a catering company made up of wannabe Hollywood actors and writers, including Henry Pollard (Adam Scott), Casey Klein (Lizzy Caplan), Kyle Bradway (Ryan Hansen), Constance Carmell (Jane Lynch), and Roman DeBeers (Martin Starr). They’re managed by the straight-laced Ron Donald (Ken Marino), who dreams of someday opening his own Soup R’ Crackers franchise.

Bill Haverchuck is one of Sam Weir’s best friends in the cult classic Freaks and Geeks. Though he is picked last in gym class and is bullied in the halls, he seems the most secure with who he is and is in no hurry to grow up. To really polish off Bill’s look, dig out the oldest sneakers in your closet and bring back that terrible posture you’ve learned to forget.

In Wet Hot American Summer, Victor Pulak (Ken Marino) is a counselor at Camp Firewood, a Jewish camp located in Maine. With his sleeveless shirt and cutoff jorts, he lets it all hang out in the summer.

Lindsay Weir, the main character of Freaks and Geeks, is a bright and talented girl at McKinley High. Once a diligent student and a mathlete, she is now finding her own way and spending time with the school burnouts or “freaks”. Throughout the one season that the show ran, she is repeatedly seen wearing her dad’s old army jacket over her tomboy clothes.

In Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa, Billy (Jackson Nicoll) travels cross-country with his grandfather Irving Zisman and mayhem ensues. This is the outfit Billy usually wears – you’re on your own for his “dance” costume.

Always the damsel-in-distress, Princess Peach has a pretty standard style as far as royalty is concerned. Extremely feminine and sweet, her look is also easy to recreate. All you need is a pink prom dress and long white gloves. Top the look off with a tiara and you are sure to attract your own Italian plumber in no time.

Curious George’s human companion, the Man in the Yellow Hat, takes his name from his attire. Little is known about this mystery guy other than his propensity to dress in yellow. Although if you’re going to hang out with a monkey it makes sense that you would want to dress like a giant banana.

You might think Waldo would be easy to spot in a crowd, what with his red and white striped attire. Unfortunately, he likes to hang around things like barber poles and candy canes, accompanied by people like Wenda, Woof, and Odlaw who dress similarly.

In the Street Fighter series, Guile is a US Air Force major who sets out to avenge his wingman’s death. He does this by bare-knuckle brawling M. Bison. An F-14 Tomcat would get the job done much faster, but where’s the fun in that?

In the Rocky series, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) is the The Master of Disaster, The King of Sting, The Prince of Punch, and the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World. He throws Rocky Balboa a bone by giving him a shot at the title. Little does he know that they’d become nemeses, and later best buds.
