The Double Entendre Costumes (Suggestive Meaning)

I once went to a party where a regal man in his 50s dressed as a dictator. He was adorned with a blue sash (like a pageant sash), military pins on the lapel of his blue blazer, and two small round potatoes with a large tubular sweet potato strung together and hung around his waist in front of his family jewels. He explained he was dressed as a dic-tator. . . if you get my meaning.

The double entendre is a suggestive meaning that always gets a second look followed by a large laugh, like the "pussy cat magnet" or the "one night stand". Think of any double entendre and you can make a costume out of. Of course, some costumes can be quite elaborate for this and others quite simple. Also, if you like this idea, visit our naughty costumes page. These costumes all have a "huge" sense of humor. You'll see the top picks for "nice" guys and girls who have only a tinge of "naughty" in them.

Stereotypes: Funny Costume Ideas

Yes, stereotypes are an easy target, but who doesn't love to see lawyer next door dressed as a pimp or the local piano teacher dressed as a 1970s disco diva complete with oversized afro and glittered eyelashes!

There are as many stereotypes as there are people, and that's a lot of opportunity for laughs! The more props the better for this costume idea. If you go as a Mexican, don't forget the pinata, chicklets, and green card. If you go as dumb blond, you'll need a Chihuahua (or any small dog) to carry in your designer knock-off handbag.

Read how Stephanie of Albuquerque created an entire creative party theme around stereotypes, asking each guest to come in costume. She aptly named her themed party the "Stereotypical Party".

Team Up For Laughs - Couples Costume Ideas

Couples costumes offer twice the laughs! Couples costumes give you the opportunity to tell a story. You can choose something like an animate and inanimate object such as a chicken and an egg. Or, costumes that require the other half to be complete like a pig and a butcher, female matador and a bull, or a bun maker and an oven.

Naughty Costumes with a Sense of Humor (So "Big" it gets its own page!)

These naughty costumes are nice too. You'll show off your fun loving nature, but not too much more...

Good But Oh So Bad Funny Costume Ideas

"Nice" girls and boys go bad with these funny costume ideas. "Drunken Santa", "Naughty Librarian", and Priest and Nun themes are a popular choice. Of course, you can also turn the tables with a naughty to good theme. For instance, a prisoner with a halo or a devil with a big heart.

Funny Fat Costume Theme

Ballerinas and girls in slinky lingerie are supposed to be skinny right? Not with these costume ideas. Fat suits are in! Just slip right in to a new you -- and let it all hang out. Comfortable isn't it?!

Cross Dressing Costume Ideas

The following is a true story. My husband and I went to a costume party where he couldn't hold from me that he'd seen the ugliest girl ever. I looked and said to my husband, "Well, at least she has great legs." Upon closer examination, I realized it was our party host: a man! He was dressed as a Playboy bunny, complete with black bunny leotard, fishnet stockings, and 3 inch heels. Yikes!

Cross dressing is among the easiest and least expensive funny costume ideas. Couples can cross dress as each other. For instance, a wife or girlfriend dresses as the man and the guy goes as the girl. Purchase a costume or simply raid thrift stores for clothing to fit. For men, this costume idea is easily enhanced by props: wigs, makeup, handbags, slinky boobs, the works.

For women, going overboard with the male stereotype is essential to pulling off the theme. Also, dressing as a specific character that is easily recognized such as Donald Trump, Elvis, Michael Jackson, or a football fan with a beer belly, makes this theme easier.

Another play on this theme is to choose a stereotypically male role, such as a police officer or firefighter, and dress in a sexy outfit that represents that role.

Fuzzy is Funny Costume Ideas

Fuzzy is not only funny, but for some reason, people love to pet fuzzy things. So if you married, you may want to stay away from this soft fluffy wonder. But if you're single, have a fuzzy frenzy.

Adults Dressed as Children

"Don't be a cry baby!" We say, "Why not!" Everyone loves a baby, and the bigger the baby the better. Adults dressed as children or babies are simply funny. And, if you happen to be pregnant, it's even funnier.

"I Wouldn't be Caught Dead in That!" Costume Party Theme

We've all said it, "I wouldn't be caught dead in that!". Well, would you be caught alive in it? Create an entire themed party around this costume idea. Everyone wears something that on any other night they'd never wear! Read more about this fun theme party idea and more costume party ideas.
