Whether it’s an optical illusion or iconic cat, people cannot get enough of meme culture these days. It seems like almost anything, when timed appropriately and given the proper caption, can get millions of reshares or retweets. And from the newer memes to the ones that are truly timeless (we love you, Doodlebob from Spongebob), you can’t go wrong with a hilarious meme Halloween costume. (If you’re concerned that your idea crosses the line, check out our offensive Halloween costume advice here).
These meme costumes below are best for the person who spends their days retweeting and commenting on all the goings-on of the interwebs, plus they’re sure to get some laughs. With a simple mask or tee (or something more elaborate), all of your pals will know exactly which meme you’re dressing up as. (Feel free to thank us for all the compliments you get later!) P.S. You need to see our epic guide to couples costumes, which also include some meme-inspired options.

If your furry friend needs the purrfect costume, look no further than this nod to one of the original internet memes.
Instagram Filter Costume
Turn your favorite Instagram filter into an easy costume. To make it, pull up Instagram stories on your phone and select the filter of your choice. Then, point the phone at a blank surface and take a screenshot. Send the screenshot file to a printing or office supplies store to have it blown up and printed on a thick board. Then, cut out a part in the middle for your face! For this filter, use makeup and accessories to recreate the filter’s effects — here we used simple highlighter!

Peppa Pig Hangs Up Costume
Peppa Pig’s chat with her friend Suzie Sheep had a resurgence in popularity when it was shared on Twitter two years ago.

Fortunately, there’s an adult Peppa Pig costume, so all you really need is some construction paper to recreate her phone.
