Joe Swanson (voiced by Patrick Warburton) is a main character on the Fox animated series Family Guy.  Best friends with Peter, Cleveland, and Quagmire, Joe is a police officer who is in a wheelchair as a result of an injury sustained on the job.  Joe is quick to anger and his deep voice is often used to great comedic effect.  Joe’s costuming is rather simple and if you already have a wheelchair, there are only a few pieces you will need to collect, depending on whether you’d like to be Joe in uniform or relaxing at the Clam with his buddies.

In The Mandalorian, Ahsoka Tano is the lightsaber duel-wielding Jedi Padawan of Anakin Skywalker. She made her live-action debut in season 2, where she encountered Grogu and Mando. Rosario Dawson reprises her role in The Book of Boba Fett and her own series, Ahsoka.

Craig Tucker (voiced by Matt Stone) is a character on the long-running Comedy Central series South Park. Craig is the leader of Craig’s Gang, which includes his friend Clyde Donovan.  Craig wears a blue hat and matching jacket with high-waisted black pants he has adopted in more recent seasons. Craig is portrayed as stoic and mature and along with his eventual boyfriend Tweek Tweak is one of the only openly gay characters on the show.  To recreate his signature hat, you may need to get a little crafty with either some thread or a glue gun to affix blue ties and a yellow pompom to a blue hat.

Stede Bonnet is a main character in HBO Max’s Our Flag Means Death. Portrayed by comedian Rhys Darby, he is the captain of the ship Revenge. Unhappy with wealthy, domestic life, he leaves his family to pursue a career in pirating. He dubs himself  “The Gentleman Pirate,” since he’d rather “talk it out” than resort to violence. As a result, his crew views him as a coward (which he is). He doesn’t earn their respect until he accidentally murders a British naval officer, which attracts the attention of Blackbeard. The two captains meet and form an unlikely friendship that blossoms into romance. Stede teaches Blackbeard about high society, while Blackbeard teaches Stede how to be a confident leader — and they both teach each other what true love means.

Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard, is a main character in HBO Max’s Our Flag Means Death. Show producer Taika Waititi, who also directed Thor: Ragnarok and What We Do In The Shadows, stars in this role. Inspired by the legendary pirate, he expresses boredom with his bloodthirsty life, and wishes to abandon the title. After rescuing Stede Bonnet from death, he takes a keen interest in his life aboard the Revenge. He originally plots to steal his identity and kill Stede, but the two develop a close friendship that blossoms into romance. As his name suggests, he wears all black. Use the Sharpie to darken the mustache and roots of the beard. Use a pair of scissors to cut at the shoulder on one side of the long sleeve shirt.

Libby Folfax is a character in the Nickelodeon show, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. While she’s often the voice of reason in class, her singing voice is off-key. She is the best friend of Cindy Vortex, and often shares the same opinion. When Libby helps battle mummies in Egypt by posing as an ancient queen, who happened to be her identical ancestor, she keeps her hair in dreadlocks. She also gets an outfit change from a casual dress to a striped sweater and jeans.

Old Coot (voiced by Ryan Miller) is the main character in The Old Coot Show, a YouTube show that follows Old Coot and his son on a series of brief wacky adventures.  To recreate this simple look, you’ll want to flesh-colored zentai suit to evoke the eyeless design of the character, as well as a grey beard to wear over that.  You can forgo the cross and rope accessories that come with the brown monk’s robe, leaving you with just the hooded cloak necessary for the costume.
