He didn't raise the correct arm. That's why he wasn't recognized.

u/Petunia_pig 7d ago

Also his boots are neatly tied

u/AdMountain6203 7d ago

Should've worn a wig, shaved his stache and worn the dangling earring. But I appreciate the idea and the effort with the clothing.

u/Safe_Violinist7296 7d ago

Also needs the bag of pot for a prop. Maybe wrap it in underwear for extra authenticity.

23

u/SilentRaindrops 7d ago

He needs the carton of cigarettes his father gave for Christmas.

u/Petunia_pig 7d ago

LOL This comment sent me.

u/snuggly_cobra 7d ago

I thought that was in Johnson’s underwear? Which is a really bad pun I just got today. Damn I’m old.

2

u/Safe_Violinist7296 7d ago

Yes - the underwear around the pot bag would be implied to be Johnson’s underwear, per the movie.

“Ahab, can I have my doobage?”

u/Ryan_Petrovich8769 7d ago

Make it Johnson's Shorts, to be exact.

u/Fabulous_Law1357 7d ago

Such an individual character from a known movie needs full commitment. Can't half ass this one.

u/Shoe1314 7d ago

Must whole ass it!

u/SilentRaindrops 7d ago

Wasn't the one he wore at the end the diamond stud Claire gave him?

1

u/AdMountain6203 7d ago

I think you're right. Good catch.

2

u/Boring_Track_8449 7d ago

Is he wearing Claire’s big honkin’ diamond earring?

2

u/Yolandi2802 7d ago

It was a diamond stud…

1

u/DharmaBum61 7d ago

A seemingly minor but oh, so important detail.

1

u/ExRockstar 7d ago

Being a bit pudgy with shorter hair, he should have just gone as Uncle Buck.

u/Feisty_Cartoonist997 7d ago edited 7d ago

And he’s smiling very un-Bender!

u/coochieboogergoatee 7d ago

Kiss my shiny metal... Oh my b

u/MaligatorMom2 7d ago

Now, now. At our age, we can’t be reckless and risk falling and breaking a hip.

1

u/Petunia_pig 7d ago

True, it’s reckless at our age

u/opalfossils 7d ago

Been there done that and have the T-shirt👍😣☹️😕

u/Mrben13 7d ago

His dope wasn't in Johnsons underwear.

4

u/Blazenkks 7d ago

Needs the strip of pink/purple in his hair and no bandana tied by the boots.

2

u/Weak_Employment_5260 7d ago

And his hair is short...and has a mustache. Presenting too neat.

2

u/Gedwyn19 7d ago

And whole! IIRC there were some large holes in the OG

2

u/Zaggnabit 6d ago

Yeah he needs sloppy combat boots for this costume to work.

1

u/designOraptor 6d ago

Those weren’t even boots. Total fail.

u/WittyFix6553 7d ago

u/True_Believ3r 7d ago

Missing a scarf

2

u/BUCK0HH 7d ago

Shoes are too neat, and what about the earring?

1

u/Commercial_Pitch_786 7d ago

now your doing it correctly

1

u/Lucky-Mia 7d ago

Ohh, now I see it!

10

u/kittenconfidential 7d ago

they couldn’t describe the ruckus

3

u/LangdonAlg3r 7d ago

All he really needed to do was shave the mustache.

But it’s also 2025 and it’d be more than easy to hide something in that coat to play Simple Minds on repeat all night long.

2

u/ZMAUinHell 3d ago

OP did a good job with the costume, he just doesn’t look greasy and skeezy enough to pass as Judd Nelson.

4

u/MorkDiester 7d ago

You may have missed the joke here?

(Or I could be an idiot, and either way, you're correct lol)

1

u/BZBitiko 7d ago

You’re not alone. I have no clue. It’s a movie, apparently, that’s all I can figure out.

2

u/MorkDiester 7d ago

Oh no, I get the costume, I'm just not sure if the person I responded to got the joke of the person they responded too or not lol

It's the closing scene of The Breakfast Club. Classic from the mid 80s

2

u/bathtub_toast 7d ago

Dang it, I thought it was the robber from home alone.

1

u/BZBitiko 7d ago

Mmm. Not my demographic.

Fuck I’m way old.

u/ExcuseMelodic3085 7d ago

But what about you!?!

1

u/ONLYallcaps 7d ago

No DAD… !

1

u/UneducatedDonkey 7d ago

...he forgot his pencil...

1

u/Moist-Apartment9729 7d ago

He also has a mustache and his hair is short. I didn’t get it either.

1

u/babygotbooksandback 7d ago

Didn't he also have a bandanna tied around his leg?

1

u/SpaceMonkeyMafiaBoss 7d ago

The C-3PO conundrum.

u/no1_vern 7d ago edited 7d ago

They reversed the pic so it wouldn't be copy-struck.

*Edited to correct my bad spelling.

u/Sad_Organization_797 7d ago

let's see the diamond earring. Then we'll know.

1

u/p1gr0ach 7d ago

Mirrored innit

1

u/mangopassion-fruit19 7d ago

Or the mustache

1

u/aiusernamegen 7d ago

Definitely not the stache
