Help me pick my Halloween costume!
UPDATE: 80's Eddie Murphy is blowing out the competition! If you want one of the other choices, remember to tweet me (@ernestwilkins or @redeyenow), or comment on this post!
I'll level with you. I'm terrible at Halloween.
Every year, I decide on a costume/theme a few weeks out, and then immediately find myself at Super K-Mart 45 minutes before I'm supposed to be at some party.
This year though, we off that. (Word to Hov.) I'm going to be lazy use the wonders of social media to solve my dilemma.
That's right, Rainbow Brite. You get to pick my Halloween costume this year.
Your choices are after the jump. I've listed pros and cons for each, and the most votes wins.
You choose it, I wear it. Let's have some fun!
Here are your choices:
A: Kanye West
PROS:- It's easy, and I resemble him juuuuust enough to get by.
- I get to look nice all night.
- I get to act like a dick and cut blonde girls off the entire
evening. I've even got my speech ready! "Yo, random Trixie, your slutty
firefighter costume is good and all, and I'ma let you finish that "O"
bomb, but homegirl over there in the slutty Margaret Thatcher costume
has the BEST COSTUME HERE!"
CONS:
- It's kind of played out.
- I can't convince any of my female friends to shave their heads and go as Amber Rose. (What ever happened to COMMITMENT?)
- I can't afford anything he actually wears.
B: 80's Eddie Murphy
PROS:
- I get to tell raunchy jokes all night.
- My butt will look AMAZING in leather pants.
- I already know all the words to "Party all the time".
CONS:- Where in the hell am I going to get a red pleather jumpsuit? The westside? Boystown? 1985?
- I don't know if I can pull off the mustache.
- Um...you see that pic? What was that quote Robin Williams had? "These
men were wearing pants so tight that you can tell what religion they
are?" Yeeeah.
C: The guys from "Weekend At Bernie's"
This one is a little complicated.
If
you follow me on Twitter, I make references to my roommates and the
place I stay (better known as the "Frathouse"). This would involve
them. I'd be Bernie, and they'd be charged with the task of carrying me
around the entire evening.
PROS: - I can
get wasted take part in the festivities like this guy and no one will be the wiser!
- You fine folks can meet the other men of #Frathouse.
- Who doesn't like to be carried around in life?
CONS: - It's not THAT exciting
- The reference will fly over some people's heads.
So there you have it: Pick between choice A, B, or C and I'll put it together for Halloween.

you should def be the guys from weekend at bernies. my friend was the guy in the middle, and all you need is the exact glasses and blue windbreaker to really pull it off. even if your friends are other things for halloween, as long as you have two guys to lean on for most of the night it should be fine.

Eddie Money for sure! It will be a lady magnet- and you will get to request great tunes from the DJ all night!

I'm with Mal. Kanye too cliche and Bernie too obscure. Eddie = just right. (Never thought I'd say that).

Hank from the frathouse here with a "type in" vote. I have been begging Ernest for the last week to add this to the list. Please people, vote for Ernest and I to go as Riggs and Murtaugh from the Lethal Weapon series. The awesome pictures that will be taken make this idea worth it!!!
Nate said:
I vote for this idea! Not just because I was lobbied to do so, but also because Hank is already anti-semetic as crap.
Scott Kleinberg said:
I'm wondering if the Eddie Money idea came from Eddie Murphy ... not sure, but I think you should consider it. I mean, well, if you could walk on water ... and if you could find some way to prove, that is.
Jackie said:
You could always do Edddie Murphy....as....any of his characters...
what about the Nutty Professor?...or Prince Akeem
Matt B said:
I can't believe people think that Bernie's is too obscure, but Eddie Murphy is okay? I've never even seen the movie, but I know the Bernie character. If you were to do Murphy, you'd have to pick something a bit more specific, like a genre/era/character of his.

In my side, I don't know how to do and how to wear on Halloween. I have no time and my budget is limited. I prefer upload my own picture and send it out to friends and family with a message as a greeting on Halloween at halloween-2009.net/retrieve.php?cid=42

Bernie would be cool, but hell, I'm with Hank on his idea. Sounds even more fun. Or try and dress like Wesly Snipes did in "Too Wong Foo: Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar"
