Rex from Airheads
Rex (played by Steve Buscemi) is the bassist for the Lone Rangers in the movie Airheads. Rex along with his friends and bandmates Chazz and Pip holds a radio station hostage in a bid to have the band’s demo tape heard by producers. Rex has many bad tattoos on his arms and wears black jeans with combat boots and a distressed “Road Kill Café” t-shirt. If roadkill isn’t your thing, you could use any dark distressed t-shirt in your arsenal to evoke a similar effect. If you choose to wear a fake goatee as part of your costume, make sure to get a good skin-safe adhesive like spirit gum as well as remover to ensure it looks great, but also doesn’t hurt coming off.
Carl Showalter from Fargo
Carl Showalter played by Steve Buscemi is one of the two antagonists in the 1996 film Fargo. Carl and his partner Gaear Grimsrud are hired by Jerry Lundegaard to kidnap his wife so he can use the ransom money to hide that he has been embezzling money from his car dealership. Carl is very talkative with a short temper and hates smoking. This outfit is perfect for fall and should be very comfortable for going out.
Donny Kerabatsos from The Big Lebowski
Theodore Donald “Donny” Kerabatsos (played by Steve Buscemi) is a member of the same bowling team as the Dude and Walter. A soft spoken man, Donny is often told to shut up impolitely by Walter prior to his death in the film. Despite being an exceptional bowler, Donny is often seen wearing what appear to be secondhand bowling shirts, as he dons a colorful array, each with a different name embroidered on it (none of which are Donny). If you have some modest sewing skills, you could add your own personal flourish to whichever color shirt you choose to wear for your costume.
How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?
The “How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?” meme came from an episode of 30 Rock, where 55-year-old private investigator named Lenny Wosniak (Steve Buscemi) goes undercover as a high school student. Make sure to get two skateboards for this costume, one to casually hold under your arm and another to sling over your shoulder like a cool kid.
