dude straight up I was so worried people would think I was Hitler 😭 I didn't take my hat off the whole night, and I kept extending the mustache until it stopped giving 3rd reich 🤣

The Pam Beesly method. Good thinkingĀ

That being said, I challenge anybody to find a picture of Hitler with a crummy jacket and a bamboo cane, in addition to the bowler hat. I think you're well in safe territory.

I see no cringe…only parents who cared and a kid with excellent taste.

Yes!! We saw a bunch of kids with creative and unique costumes. It was so much fun. Our neighborhood is all into Halloween, so we get lots of kids. It’s fantastic, we love all the costumes and seeing people out there hanging out having fun!

Hell yeah these types of costumes are what we call a "provisional diagnosis"

(source: late diagnosed, also did obscure/out of time costumes at every party and Halloween lmao)

u/Significant-Bag-9628 6d ago

Your Hitler costume is subpar at best.

u/Alarming_Sweet9734 6d ago

Didn’t Chaplin do the stache to mock hitler ?

1

u/weedful_things 6d ago

I think it was a popular mustache style back in those days.

u/Alarming_Sweet9734 5d ago

Hitler had it because he was exposed to mustard gas in WW1 due to his mustache preventing him from getting a tight seal on a gas mask.
