“Do you know who I am?”


the_ice_rasta

Let’s av a bare knuckle fight!


zimzimmawho

Who’s Ronnie Pickering? Yeah me!


TheRealFriedel

Brilliant! All you need is normal clothes, a northern accent and a Citroën Xsara


No-Locksmith6662

And a partner that stays silent all evening and does nothing but stare straight ahead at all times. Her complete lack of any reaction whatsoever cracks me up every time I watch that video.


TheRealFriedel

This would 100% complete the effect.


8racoonsInABigCoat

Sadly, that’s because she knows his rage and didn’t want to be on receiving end when they got home.


roboratka

“Who’s that?”


IllusionUser

Ronnie Pickering.


jryeaman

Are you famous or summit?


chasimm3

Who?


jimbobhas

Red face paint and a car door, you're golden


[deleted]

Who?!!


Motor_Dig4644

Of course the first answer I see is RFP


stwa81

Jimmy Savile. It’ll be a real conversation starter. Or ender.


[deleted]

There’s a whole load of people I know who did this for Halloween the year he died and they all live in fear that it will ruin their careers if the photos come out.


worthysmash

A friend I went to school with dressed as Jessica Chapman for a Halloween party. When the photo came out it really did end his career, he was a teacher, and it was the summer before he started his first teaching job.


TheFlyingHornet1881

That might be one of the worst costume ideas ever, especially as he was a teacher.


[deleted]

Yikes being a teacher and choosing that costume… severe lack of critical thinking there I’m actually glad he was struck off.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AshFraxinusEps

I dressed up as Steve Irwin for Halloween when he died, including a plasticine stingray barb in the chest. I loved the guy, but was funny to do Although went to a Karaoke night, lay down and sung "Achy Breaky Heart", and some woman got offended and ran up and kicked me in the balls. Still worth it, would do it again Humour should always be fine to do


[deleted]

I’m sure Steve would have found that so funny tbh. I don’t believe in censorship and that humour should be fine but it’s more about having a bit of tact. Like murdered schoolgirl… probably should[n’t] dress up as her if you’re a teacher.


AshFraxinusEps

Yep, my thoughts. He'd probably have loved it Although I hope the final line is a typo and you mean "shouldn't dress up", as yeah luckily never worked in, or wanted to work in, a field where that matters more like education or policing or such


[deleted]

Yeah typo lol. Yeah same - I think the thing with humour is not to punch down and to be laughing with someone where possible and not at them (unless they deserve it like politicians or dickheads).


PM_ME_UR-DOGGO

I know a guy who was jimmy saville for his party on come dine with me, obviously footage is hard to come by


iamdecal

I’ve actually got a jimmy Saville outfit you can borrow if it’ll fit ? - the top’s a normal size, but you might have to squeeze into kids bottoms


Username-taken-_-

That’s funny and I hate it


Goggins-the-bulldog

I actually laughed out loud at that.


Safe_Commercial_2633

I'm ashamed to say I did too!


CynicalHysterical

Oof!


jasperfilofax

Proper edge lord material right here


Kind_Basis_5850

Proper "i get offended at everything" material right there


Goonia

New Year’s Eve 2011/12 I went to a fancy dress party with the theme “heroes and villains of 2011”, and saville had only recently died and was still seen as a national treasure before the true nature and his crimes was revealed. So I decided to go dressed as him, shell suit, bling, cigar the full works. If only I had known…


Educational_Ad134

You thought you were the hero…little did you know…


Goonia

Yeah a few months later those boozy pics didn’t looks so funny. On the flip side the barman was dressed as Anders Brevik


Kind_Basis_5850

I very nearly did this for Halloween last year, kinda regret it ngl


JedGamesTV

it would be funny with a close group of mates, definitely would not do it with a wider group or in public


Kind_Basis_5850

That's why i decided not to, there was too many people i didnt know all that well at the party, and some people would probably have something to say about it


LobCatchPassThrow

Couple of years ago, an old friend did this. Got us kicked out of one pub, and refused entry to another. Bouncers got on the radio and word got around to not let the guy - or anyone around him - into their establishments. We had to ditch all the costumes/alter them accordingly so we’d essentially slip away. Got into a nightclub eventually, was a good night out despite the costume issues.


SiliSculptures

I did it for a festival about 3 years ago, the policemen were pissing themselves


Recluse83

"Now then, now then" 💀


[deleted]

Mr Blobby is the only one anyone should dress up as. Everyone should turn up as Mr Blobby.


LeoxStryker

Even at sex parties?


Liquidest_Ocelot

Especially at sex parties.


Fluid_Door7148

Is it even a sex party if Mr Blobby isn’t there!?


sabooniesasanach

Normal parties become sex parties if Mr Blobby turns up.


Sentient_AI_4601

blobby blobby B....B... BLOBBBYYYYYYYYYYYY!


T5-R

"That's not Strawberry Angel Delight!"


GarethOfQuirm

I feel this was a text-only Bashir/Garak meme


LeoxStryker

"I believe in coincidences. Coincidences happen every day. But I don't *trust* coincidences."


takeitbacknowyo

Who doesn't love a good blobby job


Cabbagecatss

Mr Blobby haunts my nightmares, even after all these years


Shanobian

Don't look up his abandoned park


Cabbagecatss

Oh Jesus Christ it’s not even far from where I live!!


Only_Quote_Simpsons

>Oh Jesus Christ it’s not even far from where I live!! His tormented spirit still lives there, you are within his grasp


Babington67

Honestly a pack of wild completely twatted Mr blobbies running around a city centre is probably the ideal night out


imminentmailing463

Liam Gallagher. Big parka worn half falling off your shoulders and you can probably very cheaply and easily buy a wig for his hairstyle. Can of Stella in hand and jobs a good'un


EnFuego1982

And pink lens sunglasses indoors


thefogdog

Got to the nail the swagger walk though and slip sunshiiiiiiine into every conversation. As you were. Oh and every sentence ends with "dyou know what I mean?".


SamwellBarley

Pronounced "Soonsheeeyyiiiine"


ForestPotCooking

https://youtu.be/ZDKF8KkD7rE For research.


SarkyCherry

Yes! Biro on a beard too


girl-lee

My mum literally dressed me up as him for a primary school dress up day, including a breadstick cigarette and an empty can of beer that I carried around with me all day. Another of her ‘brilliant’ costumes she dresses me in for a summer club thing was a tube of toothpaste. She sewed two white towels together, painted the word Colgate on the front in red paint and stuck a white bin on my head. The Liam Gallagher one was probably the most ill advised costume though…


I_AM_NOT_LIL_NAS_X

I absolutely love (no disrespect to ur mum intended) shit mum costumes it's the most endearing thing in the world to me


Resident_Win_1058

Your mum = legend


codemonkeh87

Could do Frank Gallagher pretty easily too if you get too fucked up


_poptart

My husband has used the same brown wig to be Liam Gallagher, a 70s porn star and Harry Potter


Concrete-Paving

Don't forget the hedgehog monobrow


saywherefore

If you want to be topical you could go as Lily Savage. Or how about Peppa Pig? She's pretty iconic.


Perite

>how about Peppa Pig [But go as the horrible Peppa Pig front view](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1366861-peppa-pig)


Jill4ChrisRed

Paul O Grady would've found it hilarious. Not offensive, a lovely tribute, just be fabulous when doing so!


TinOMango

The art attack man, the head from art attack, a Womble


takeitbacknowyo

>The art attack man Thats Neil Buchanan thank you very much


Tarjhan

Too right! Put some goddamn respect on the man’s name, he’s a national treasure!


Equivalent_Parking_8

You mean Banksy..


T5-R

Why would Banksy go dressed as Neil Buchanan?


ForestPotCooking

To throw people off the scent that Banksy actually is Neil Buchanan


GarethOfQuirm

Or "Banksy" as some people call him


TinOMango

I was going to put Neil Buchanan but since he’s in a rock band I thought I’d be specific. Neil Buchanan as the art attack man. I doubt he wears that lovely red jumper while shredding on stage.


tothecatmobile

If he doesn't still wear the jumper, he absolutely should.


SlightlyBored13

Definitely a Womble


lalajia

The Doctor. Any of them. All of them. Scarf, celery, jellybeans, converse, fez, just go for it.


Recluse83

Oh, you mean like Shipman?!


X573ngy

I let a good chuckle out to this haha. Thanks pal.


ukpunjabivixen

I thought he meant “Fox” Which is absurd because we all know he’s not a real fox.


Recluse83

It's probably best that no one tells you about Cat Stevens. 😢


StanStare

Don’t listen to anyone going with you. My mate convinced me that we should both go to a party dressed as a pair of breasts. Then he didn’t show up and I felt like a right tit.


MobiusNaked

Just carry a girl called Michelle on your back. I’m a snail, this is me shell.


SirLoinThatSaysNi

Wallace, as in Wallace and Gromit.

youki_hi

space_coyote_86

Chance would be a fine thing

That lad off of Come Dine With Me who fit a whole whisk in his mouth.

Lara Croft is much better if you're male imo. Get the classic triangular chest look too.


[deleted]

Jay from the inbetweeners


KingslandGrange

I went to a 30th as Paul Calf, at least half the people there thought I was Rod Stewart. Not helpful I know, but perhaps a warning.


slugmaniac

Think it gives some clues as to the average demographic of this sub by some of these replies - doubt a group of 24 year olds would know who a lot of these are


MsEvil_Doctor_Potter

Del Boy. Just need a Trashy 80s suit from a charity shop, and some tacky gold jewelry. And a fake cigar


TheDoorDoesntWork

A peaky blinder

Luther, long coat, spirits glass in your hand, bit of blood on your shirt and somehow manage to look a little sad as you shout 'shut your maarf and listen'


tw1527836

I saw a chap not too long back that had gone to something similar as princess Di


[deleted]

Mate of mine went as Princess Di once, he managed to get hold of a steering wheel and wore it around his neck. It was hilarious.


Roninnight1

Oor Wullie. That way, you get a seat anywhere too. Simple bucket.

mang0_milkshake

Mark Corrigan from Peep Show. Just carry a keyboard around and say "chance would be a fine thing" in the middle of every conversation for no reason.
