November 6, 2015 : Halloween: Obscure-Cancelled-TV-Show Style
I’m not adverse to Halloween costumes that most people don’t recognize. This year was no exception, and the theme was Arrested Development (the cancelled-too-soon FOX Show). While I dressed up as Lindsay Funke, I was joined by Tobias and Gob.
Seeing as how the show was cancelled almost a decade ago, it wasn’t too surprising that few people got our costumes. While it didn’t bother me, I was expecting a little better of a reception. The show has garnered a cult following sine its initial run – so much so that Netflix produced a new season back in 2013 (although, for the record, I couldn’t get past the second episode) – so I assumed there would be more recognition. Instead, Tobias was assumed to be a Smurf, Gob an ordinary magician, and I was a prostitute.
Despite this, I was still pleased with the final outcome. I’ve done plenty of themes that aren’t very mainstream so I’m used to it. Plus, the few people who got our costumes did appreciate them. The other great thing that came out of the night: we have a solid idea for next year’s theme.
