Top 12 Stupid 'Sexy' Costumes-Number 2

In a world that is becoming more and more obsessed with 'sexy,' we are bombarded each Halloween with new 'sexy' costumes. Unfortunately, some of them are really stupid. This list will examine the Top 12 stupidest 'sexy' costumes.

Number 3- The Lorax

Let's think about this for a moment. Who is the Lorax? The Lorax is a small animal-like creature from a beloved Dr. Seuss character that championed the trees. The story isn't very long since it is a children's book. The movies gives a little more story, but I don't see that justifying this.

Think about any reason why you might find the Lorax sexy. His environmental message might score a point or two. His love of animals and the trufula trees might add a couple more, but let's be honest here, the Lorax was never designed to be sexy. Do you see the other gender of a Lorax? Maybe they don't reproduce, or they do mitosis or something. You might as well have a sexy amoeba or something like that.

If you really want a perfect reason to not think about a sexy Lorax, think about this guy:

This is Danny DeVito, the man that voiced the Lorax in the latest movie version. I got over the choice after seeing how he did with the part, but maybe I can plant in your head the idea of Danny DeVito when you see a sexy Lorax costume.

Top 12 Stupid 'Sexy' Costumes-Number 3

Number 3- Sexy Darth Vader

Originally, I was going to make this my #1 pick, but then I thought about it some more. When I talk about a costume being stupid, I'm mostly talking about it being pointless and uninspired. This costume does have a point, although it is not your typical kind of attraction.

This costume has to have been put together for the fetish crowd. You've got a mask/helmet, skin tight latex(?), all you need is higher heels.

I'm not against that if that is what floats your boat, but it's definitely not a costume for everyone. Besides, when I think of Darth Vader, I'm not looking to be aroused. Think about what he looks like under the mask. Definitely not sexy.

If you want to do something Star Wars related, there are plenty of options that would actually be considered sexy. (This is the part where I reassure my friend, Matt, that aside from this aside, Princess Leia won't be on this list.) Pick one of those, and stop freaking everybody out. Nah, just do what you want, but if you're going to wear this costume, expect lots of reaction

Number 5-Pokemon

"Gotta catch 'em all!"
"I'd like to get a Pikachu" (peek at you)

I could go on with lame pick up lines, but if you wear this costume, you will hear more than these, and much worse. Think about what Pikachu looks like. He's a small chubby mouse that is bright yellow. There just isn't enough to make me think of Pikachu, and I'd rather not think about an electric mouse like that anyway. I guess I can give the costume makers a point or two for the tail and the ears, not that that really takes any effort, just someone realizing that without them, this is just a girl in a tube top and a skirt.

If you're a fan of Pokemon, then feel free to dress up as your favorite, but do them the courtesy of trying to look like that Pokemon, OK?

Top 12 Stupid 'Sexy' Costumes-Number 5

Number 5-Nemo

Wow, so some orange and white stripes is all it takes to turn a girl into a clown fish? That doesn't seem quite right. Look around at some of the other costumes to see why this one misses the mark. While looking for an image, I saw a great one with a kid basically carrying a large stuffed fish as a suit.

I guess you can pass it off as just wanting to recreate the colors of Nemo, but you certainly can't pretend that you look like him.

Top 12 Stupid 'Sexy' Costumes-Number 6

In a world that is becoming more and more obsessed with 'sexy,' we are bombarded each Halloween with new 'sexy' costumes. Unfortunately, some of them are really stupid. This list will examine the Top 12 stupidest 'sexy' costumes.

Number 6-Cookie Monster

Let's start with a simple statement that I think that most of us can agree upon-Cookie Monster is not sexy. He is a big blue monster that overindulges in cookies. (I won't deny my enjoyment of cookies, but that is a different subject.)

For this post I have a few pics of different attempts at a 'sexy' costume. This first one is just lazy. Couldn't we at least give her a blue dress to add to the illusion? If anything, it looks like the Cookie Moster has become a zombie and traded his love of cookies into love of brains.

Next up we have Team Sesame in some dresses that don't really do anything for the project. Also, can we just say no to pedophilia 'sexy' Elmo dress? (Yes, I know that Kevin Clash is a mature African-American man, but you don't think of him when you think of Elmo. You usually miss Keven even when Elmo is right there.)

I thought I should be fair and throw in a costume I think is halfway decent. Not only is most of the costume blue, giving an attempt at pretending to be a big blue monster, but she also has a cookie in her hand. Sure Cookie Monster still looks like he's gone full zombie, but at least this costume is trying.

Top 12 Stupid 'Sexy' Costumes-Number 7

In a world that is becoming more and more obsessed with 'sexy,' we are bombarded each Halloween with new 'sexy' costumes. Unfortunately, some of them are really stupid. This list will examine the Top 12 stupidest 'sexy' costumes.

Number 7- R2D2

So we have two options here: one is a awesome small robot, the other one is a person deluded into thinking they look like an awesome small robot. R2D2 is probably the best thing about the Star Wars movies. He's funny even though he doesn't talk in a language we understand, he is always getting people out of trouble, and he's just so adorable.

This costume just doesn't capture any of those characteristics. It completely misses the character and doesn't do him justice. She could at least where some kind of helmet, right?

If you're going to wear this costume, do me a favor and at least figure out a way to make R2 noise, OK? That will make all the nerds of the world feel a little bit better.

Top 12 Stupid 'Sexy' Costumes-Number 8

In a world that is becoming more and more obsessed with 'sexy,' we are bombarded each Halloween with new 'sexy' costumes. Unfortunately, some of them are really stupid. This list will examine the Top 12 stupidest 'sexy' costumes.

Number 8-M&M

I get the appeal of this one, and it should probably be lower on the list. I mean, think about the classic tag line for M&Ms- "melts in your mouth, not in your hand." It's the perfect line to get the attention of that cute person at the party-perfect ice breaker.

That being said, there isn't much to sell this costume. Sure you get to see a lot of skin, but it certainly doesn't look anything like an M&M. At best it looks like an M&M is trying to tear its way out of your stomach. (This usually isn't considered sexy.)

I don't want to be picky about this, but isn't green supposed to be the sexy one? I'm pretty sure that the girl  in the picture above doesn't really want people thinking about a 'boy' M&M when they look at her.

Top 12 Stupid 'Sexy' Costumes-Number 9

In a world that is becoming more and more obsessed with 'sexy,' we are bombarded each Halloween with new 'sexy' costumes. Unfortunately, some of them are really stupid. This list will examine the Top 12 stupidest 'sexy' costumes.

Number 9-Twister

Maybe I'm wrong, but I was pretty sure that girls didn't appreciate it when guys randomly grabbed at them. Unfortunately, this costume practically begs to be touched. All you need is someone to shout "right hand blue!" It's a fun idea, although this costume looks like it could easily pass as a go-go dancer.

On the plus side, this does bring up a classic game with lots of appeal. I'm sure that will get you some consideration. With all of that in mind, I had a friend that just took the 'board' and turned it into a dress one year, and I thought that was a lot more original. It's up to you though. Take this one or leave it.

Top 12 Stupid 'Sexy' Costumes-Number 10

Number 10-Sexy Crayons

I know a girl that wore this costume a few years ago (I think it was a purple crayon) and if you're reading this, I'm sorry, but you fell for the trap. The trap is that the makers of cheap costumes don't want you to be creative, or work out ideas of your own. Just like with the Tootsie Roll, they want you to conform to their image of what the costume should look like.

I'll give this one a small amount of acknowledgement for thinking about the crayon tops, but they do look a bit silly. There are lots of better ways to make that work (why not go with a wig the color of your crayon? Most crayons aren't sharpened after all.)

I guess the idea is to have a costume with an association with thin crayons, but that just makes it worse in my opinion. If you're thinking about being a crayon this Halloween, then try to come up with something on your own. I'm sure it will turn out much better.

Top 12 Stupid "Sexy" Costumes for Halloween

In a world that is becoming more and more obsessed with 'sexy,' we are bombarded each Halloween with new 'sexy' costumes. Unfortunately, some of them are really stupid. This list will examine the Top 12 stupidest 'sexy' costumes.

Random Animals That are Neither Sexy nor Animals

This first one is more of a catch-all, and is designed to get the ball rolling. These costumes are more lazy than stupid, although the laziness makes them all the more stupid. I mean does this look like a Tiger?

Does this look like a Wolf?

I certainly don't think so. At least the Playboy Bunny look doesn't bother trying to look like a bunny, and just goes for the sexy. (Although they do add the cotton-ball tail.) I'm sorry, but those other costumes don't manage to pull off either category as far as I'm concerned.

With that in mind there is one specific animal costume that will get its own ranking, but we'll talk about that one later.
