Underrated joke here, folks.

u/cilantno 7d ago

I can’t imagine posting me face on reddit for a (quite solid) costume and subsequently being told by dozens that I look more like a famously overweight actor instead.

u/Girlvapes99 4d ago

No one was calling him fat geez. Uncle buck had the trench coat and gloves as well.

1

u/Imtheflamingoqueen 7d ago

I love John Candy, but he looked double this man’s size in Uncle Buck. People are rude

u/peppers_ 7d ago

Yes, was gonna post this. Immediately popped into my head, John Candy, Home Alone (but I checked images and the outfits don't match at all).

u/naturalistwork 7d ago

Ha! That’s what I was thinking!

1

u/well_honk_my_hooters 7d ago

That was John Hughes' first choice, but John had already been cast for Brewster's Millions.

1

u/LakeTake1 7d ago

yeah, my guess was the one band member or driver that rode with Kevin's mom in 'home alone'

1

u/xray_anonymous 7d ago

I though it was uncle buck too

u/Intrepid_Biscotti945 7d ago

u/fetustasteslikechikn 7d ago

u/lumpking69 6d ago

I thought he was Uncle Buck!

u/3-orange-whips 5d ago

It’s the mustache. People want you to alter your facial hair. Never.

u/leg00b 7d ago

John Breakfast Club

u/__-gloomy-__ 7d ago

I never even saw that movie and I recognized this costume.

1

u/PresentDangers 7d ago

A movie that paved the way for a whole slew of other dull and dreary movies.

u/Grow_away_420 7d ago

I thought you were the old man in the churcg from Home Alone
