“All right, where’s that turkey?” To the protests of his friends, Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc) eagerly tears into the Thanksgiving turkey dinner, clad in a pair of Phoebe’s maternity pants and a classically comfortable T-shirt. Hilarity ensues as the credits roll. Whether or not he’s planning for a Thanksgiving food coma, Joey Tribbiani dresses comfortably in loose-fitting shirts and pants typical of the 1990s silhouette.

To recreate Joey’s iconic Thanksgiving pants, we’ve paired an obnoxiously colorful pair of Aladdin pants with a black shirt extender garment. It’s far more confining than real maternity pants, but at least the fake turkey is mostly filled with air!

Doctor Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik is the arch-nemesis of Sonic the Hedgehog and the main villain of the series. He’s a mad scientist with a rotund build and bald head, both reminiscent of an egg. In his quest to take over the world, Doctor Eggman unleashes his army of robots called Badniks on the world. In the 2020 film, Jim Carrey gives him a slimmer portrayal.

Muzan Kibutsuji is the primary antagonist of the hit anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba. He’s the first demon of his kind, so he possesses immense power and intelligence. Muzan slaughtered the Kamado family and turned Nezuko into a demon. Therefore he shows zero mercy, killing humans and demons alike. While he disguises himself as a father, he can alter his form into a female or a child. Tanjiro plans to defeat him, and with the help of Lady Tamayo, he’s well on his way.

Lou Strickland (voiced by Rob Schneider in the U.S. version of the film) is the new police chief and main antagonist of Top Cat: The Movie. Lou pursues Top Cat after TC steals his Lazlo-Lazlo concert tickets. Lou has ginger colored hair and a noticeably hairy mole on the point of his chin. He wears a red bow tie, green blazer, and brown pants pulled up very high on his waist.

Stan S. Stanman is a salesman who frequently encounters Guybrush Threepwood in Monkey Island.  Stan has sold everything from used ships and coffins to courtroom souvenirs.  He is shrewd in the worst way, willing to do almost anything in order to close a sale.  Stan wears an oversized white hat with a red brim and a loudly patterned jacket, as well as red breeches.  There are a lot of ways you could duplicate Stan’s jacket, including using a blazer, a flannel, or making your own with fabric paint if you’re feeling creative!  You may even get lucky and find a one-of-a-kind vintage piece like the longer coat below to fit your needs.  To create the red brim pattern on Stan’s hat, use red fabric paint or markers.

Marcus Holloway (voiced by Ruffin Prentiss) is the main protagonist of Watch Dogs 2.  Marcus was born in Los Angeles, but raised in Oakland, and becomes a prolific hacktivist, gaining entrance to sensitive documents regarding a government surveillance program under the name Retr0.  Marcus is eventually recruited by DedSec, and joins in order to take down Blume and CTOS 2.0.  Marcus wears dark jeans, brown boots, and a blue jacket.  He uses glasses, and wears darker sunglasses and a face covering to obscure his identity when necessary.  His phone in the game is based on an iPhone 5, but you can use your own smartphone to complete the look.  If you don’t want to purchase Marcus’s specific bag, you could use a dark colored messenger bag and personalize it with your own pins and buttons.
