30 Ridiculously Punny Halloween Costume Ideas

Anjelika Temple ·
As hardcore word nerds, puns are a pretty essential part of the everyday here at Brit HQ. We cheer when someone makes what is unfairly referred to as a "dad joke," we battle over who gets to use which eggcellent reference during Easter, and we are always on the hunt for the punniest costume for Halloween. So for those of you like to keep it clever too, here are 30 pun-tastic costumes to inspire this year's inevitable hilarity.
Hawaiian Punch Costume: How 'bout a nice Hawaiian punch? This punny couples costume is part Hula Girl, part Rocky Balboa. (via Brit + Co)
Starry-Eyed Costume: Are you seeing stars? We sure are. (via Aww Sam)
Pot Head Costume ($85): Ah-mazing. We've seen a bunch of takes on the pot head idea, but this is definitely our favorite. And she actually looks cute!
Chick Magnet Costume ($25): Punny and adorable — a dangerous combination. This costume is not only easy, it's a great conversation starter. Even if it’s not totally true.
Fries (Before Guys!) Costume: No matter the potato product, we're always partial to it. We love this costume because it's just SO TRUE. (via Studio DIY)
Pretty Please With a Cherry on Top Costume: May all your Halloween wishes come true when you ask — or dress — this nicely. (via Aww Sam)
Pun-kin Costume: How cute is she?! We love how our very own Maddie made her own creative and *very* punny costume. (via Maddie Bachelder)
Raining Men Costume: Finally, your giant stack of Tiger Beat, tabloid, and Cosmo magazines will come in handy. Remember, everyone owns an umbrella and rain boots. (via Studio DIY)
Takeout Night Costume: A T-shirt that doubles as a costume? This is every lazy girl’s dream! (via Brit + Co)
Party Animal Costumes: Go the Breakfast at Tiffany's route with this take on party animals. (via Brit + Co)
Bird-Brained Costume: You'll have an excuse to act silly when you dress up as this feathery bird-brain. (via Aww Sam)
Spice Girls Costumes: Though we're all about bringing back Sporty, Scary, Baby, Posh, and Ginger, go the clever route and simply dress up as your favorite spices. (via Brit + Co)
Netflix & Chill Costumes: As far as couples costumes go, this one takes the cake. Or should we say “Netflix subscription package”? (via Brit + Co)
Chip on Your Shoulder Costume ($20): An actual CHIP on your shoulder? So good.
Party Pooper Costume: You don’t want to take this one too literally, so some poop emojis on your party hat is the perfect way to put together the look. (via Aww Sam)
The Burn Book Costume: You are full of sass and some sick burns. Make sure you’re ready to dish it out and get some in return. (via Studio DIY)
Anna Wintour Costume: Our very own Brit Morin donned this take on a wintery Anna Wintour at a Brit + Co Halloween party a few years back. Fake snow and an ice-cold attitude are musts. (via Brit + Co)
Tough Cookie Costume: Nothing says “come flirt with me, but watch out because I’ll punch you” like a milk mustache and boxing gloves. (via Aww Sam)
Ivy League Costume ($55): Whether or not you're actually a Yale or Harvard alum, we think this costume is a fitting play on words for the smarty pants in your life.
Chill Pill Costume: Be the good kind of pill this Halloween when you dress up in a DIY that's sure to make everyone laugh and feel relaxed. (via Studio DIY)
A Halloween Hangover Costume: Beat your actual hangover with this T-shirt/costume. Sunglasses and a large bottle of Gatorade are also musts. (via Brit + Co)
She Sells Seashells by the Seashore Costume: This tongue-tying costume is guaranteed to have everyone giggling all night. Good luck telling everyone your costume name 10 times fast. (via The House Lars Built)
Queen Bee Costume: Run the contest like the KWEEN you are in this simple Halloween get-up. (via Studio DIY)
Prego Costume: Whip up this winner and let everyone savor your pun-tastic presence on All Hallows' Eve. (via Brit + Co)
#Basic Coffee Mug Costume: Next to the PSL Starbucks cups, the pink lid travel mug is as trendy as it comes. (via A Kailo Chic Life)
Head in the Clouds Costume: Whether you find yourself distracted in daily life or not, this cute play on words is just the pun costume for you. (via Aww Sam)
When Life Gives You Lemons Costume: Just make sure there are enough lemons left for your gin and tonic. (via Club Crafted)
Bun in the Oven Costume: Maternity costume FTW! Dress your bump up as an actual bun in the oven. (via Brit + Co)
Horn Dog Costume ($75): The dude's expression? Priceless.
Blue Ivy Costume: Our very own Kelly apologizes for the low-quality iPhone photos, but this hilarious Blue Ivy costume is too good not to include. (via Kelly Bryden)
