Carbon Costume Men
Party Down
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
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.
Victor Pulak
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.
Billy from Bad Grandpa
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.
The Man in the Yellow Hat
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.
Where’s Waldo?
Apollo Creed
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.
Maverick from Top Gun
In Top Gun, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is one of the top fighter pilots in the Navy. His moves catch the eye of his wingmen and work their magic when enemies are locked onto his tail and ready to shoot their missiles into him. Volleyball and suntan lotion are not included.
Mr. Peanut
Mr. Peanut, born Bartholomew Richard Fitzgerald-Smythe, has been the dapper face of the Planters snack food company since 1916. He always dresses to the nines, at least on his head, hands, and feet.
