The internet has spoken, and the results are in: Here are the best meme, internet, and/or pop-culture costumes for the 2021 Halloween season. After we’ve been living online for who knows how long at this point, it only makes sense that this year’s costume inspo has blossomed from internet memes, jokes, and beloved TikToks. The Twitter crowd is bringing viral moments from new movies like Zola and shows like The White Lotus along with throwbacks like a budget E.T. And we expect things to get even weirder this weekend. Feast your eyes upon a sample of Halloween-costume gems from the internet, and remember: Not all costumes are memes, but all memes are costumes.

Apparently Kid
Apparently this meme will never die.
Ben Affleck and His Dunkin’
To my favorite disgruntled Dunkin’ fan, local legend, chaotic half of Bennifer 2.0, passionate collector of atrocious tattoos, Good Will Hunting mastermind, and on-set diva who once shut down the production of Gone Girl because he refused to wear a Yankees hat, happy Halloween! pic.twitter.com/t8hbbZITMR
— Hannah Orenstein (@hannahorens) October 29, 2021A power couple to rival Bennifer, tbh.
The Zola gang

Who am I for Halloween? It’s illegal for you to ask me that. @ITYSL pic.twitter.com/nX9rEWVJ5e
— J.P. McDade (@jp_mcdade) October 30, 2021Seth Rogen and His Vase
"I made this" -- @shaundiston and I were @Sethrogen and one of his vases. #its420 #HappyHalloween pic.twitter.com/CKPtRytdw2
— Ele Woods (@EleWoodsPHD) October 31, 2021Writer-performer Ele Woods even got the bumpiness right on the glaze. World famous potter Seth Rogen’s glaze game is baffling and terrifying. He also makes movies.
Ok but do they have dice in their pockets? It’s not illegal to ask that!
