It’s a fact of life: whenever somebody makes something successful, other less scrupulous people will rip off that thing to make a quick buck. This is never more true than during Halloween season. Go into any disreputable costume store and you’ll see shelves full of costumes like Flora the Explorer, SpongeRob Rectanglepants, or Breadpool.
This week, Entertainment Weekly correspondent Dana Schwartz went on Twitter to ask people to share their favorite Halloween knockoffs, and boy did people deliver. You could probably go the rest of your life wearing ripoff costumes on Halloween. You shouldn’t, but you could. In the meantime, here are 15 of the funniest. (via Bored Panda.)
