G'day, legends. Let's be straight with each other. The world out there at the moment? A bit bleak, isn't it? Between the news cycle giving you a permanent headache and the cost of everything making your wallet weep, it is easy to forget how to have a proper laugh. But here is the good news, and I mean genuinely good news. Funny costumes exist. And in a world of gloom and doom, they are something absolutely worth cheering about.
Think about the last time you saw a grown adult squeeze themselves into an inflatable T-Rex costume. You know the one. That ridiculous green reptile with the tiny arms that cannot reach the punch bowl or open a door or wipe their own brow. The moment that wobbly dinosaur waddles into a room, all sense of seriousness evaporates. People stop checking their phones. They stop complaining about the weather or the rent or the footy scores. They just laugh. A real, belly-deep, snorting kind of laugh. That, my friends, is magic.
The best funny costumes do not try to be clever
