You may think you've seen all the funny costume ideas out there, but you haven't seen these creative options. Whether you need a great Halloween outfit or want to dress up to amuse a friend, these are sure to be a hit.

If you're heading to the office in costume, why not dress up as the water cooler? Simply find an old water cooler and cut a hole in the back to allow you to wear it. Staple straps to the "shoulders" of the water cooler so it won't fall off. Then go around handing out cups of water to your coworkers.

What would be kind of cute on a baby or child becomes hilarious when worn by a grown man. Go as a crayfish, lobster, or any other kind of sea creature and call yourself a catch. Even better, have your wife or girlfriend carry a fishing pole to make this a couple's costume.

What's Your Super Power?

Sure, there are lots of super hero costumes out there, but they tend to place their character emblem on their chests. You can be a little different by showing off your super self in a different spot. This hilarious costume works best for all-adult gatherings, since it could prompt some difficult-to-answer questions from the under-18 set.

An Alien Kind of Beauty
