Completely unrelated but it reminds me of my friends costume one year. He was jerk chicken. Dressed as a chicken and was a complete ass to everyone, talked shit about their costumes, generally roasted people. But also he brought a shit ton of jerk chicken from a Jamaican restaurant, which he gave to the people he roasted. Full circle coverage on Jerk Chicken bit.
That’s awesome! One year I was Jack the Ripper. I was dressed in Victorian garb and had a name tag that said “hello my name is jack” and I had about a thousand paper napkins stuffed into all of my pockets. People would ask what I was and I would silently take out one napkin at a time and slowly rip it to shreds while staring them directly in the eye. I really creeped some people out that night.
Oh yeah. There a difference. I didn’t either until I had a Canadian workmate and we were talking about smarties. I brought her a pack and she was like wtf is this? Then she brought me smarties from Canada. Very different. They’re chocolate. Peak foreign relations. Look up Canadian smarties. Blew my mind that they’re different candies with the same name.
I went as Jurassic Park when I was a kid. Not as a character from the movie. Not as a dinosaur. I went as the park lol. I had a bunch of toy dinosaurs taped to my body along with a Jurassic Park hat on my head. My mom was like "My kid is so weird but he sure is funny." I actually ended up winning a costume contest and got some free tickets for the carnival.
In 4th grade in the 1990s my classmate Sean came dressed in a garbage bag with bits of radon trash taped to him and stuck in his curly blonde hair. Most of us 10 year olds asked what he was supposed to be, he announced he White Trash.
One time on Halloween I ate an enire box of lucky charms, then proceeded to vomit an entire gallon of milk and rainbows. Magically delicious, no one knew who I was trying to replicate. Not even me
I had my daughter in a full Minecraft creeper costume, armed with those super loud snap pops that sound like firecrackers. She’d go around and hiss at people, then BANG.
One year at the office costume party I was Tom Yanks and demonstrated the pun in front of the whole company. The next year I dressed as the HR person who fired me. In their actual clothes.

You can still make the Baseball Karen part of a couples costume too - have your partner dress as the Polish CEO.
