Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

I'm at a screening of Bugonia and someone keeps calling out World Series updates whenever anyone scores.

Started and finished October by watching two of my favorite movies
A graphic that has the logo for the Academy Museum at the top, which looks like a film strip with a silhouette of an Oscar in the middle. Beneath that it reads: Academy Museum of Motion Pictures Ed Wood A photograph of a TV screen in a dark room. On the screen is the logo "One Cut of the Dead" in white against a black background, with some red splotches of blood.

My favorite drink
A can of some kind of drink. It's partially obscured by another can, so you can only read the words "ASS MILK"

Today is my birthday, so I can FINALLY post this picture of Cakey for myself
An anthropomorphic Black Forest cake, actually the titular character from the web series Cakey! The Cake From Outer Space. Cakey hovers on the edge of a bed and has two lit candles that are shaped like the numerals 1 and 3 atop his head.

As if I couldn't love Mark Hamill more

While others in the era were wearing your basic Hulk or Spider-Man, @markhamillofficial.bsky.social cemented his true comic book nerd cred by rocking a Howard The Duck t-shirt…

Guess who got a shout-out from Prue!!!! #GBBO
A screenshot of an episode from The Great British Bake-Off.

The Cake From Outer Space, showing the titular character (an anthropomorphic Black Forest cake) sitting on a bed and smiling

@jamesgunn.bsky.social I know you can't legally read that Plastic Man script, but how about one for Howard the Duck pilot?

Just read HOWARD THE DUCK on the Stunt List 2025 and I recommend you all do the same. As a fan of the OG movie and the MCU, I loved it. Nice work @kirksays.bsky.social

If Frasier were alive today...

Frasier (reading on his phone): Oh, well that's a shame.

Martin: What happened?

Frasier: They're removing The Comedy of Errors from this year's "Seriously Shakespeare" festival.

Niles: Yet another case of getting canceled for being too joke.

Frasier: Oh, Niles!

Why the hell did the Muppets use the Murder She Wrote font in their Kokomo music video???
Kermit the frog, wearing a Hawaiian shirt, is flanked by two female Muppet hula dancers in grass skirts and flower leis. The subtitle "Off the Florida keys" is beneath them in an unusual font.

A screengrab of a text from Grimace from McDonald's. (The contact photo shows Grimace, the purple mascot.) The text reads: "i'm putting Lil McDonald's toys into the Happy Meal box on 7.1 r u freaking out" with an image of a woman's hand holding an instruction book with a number of little toys in the background with a McDonald's Happy Meal box. The sender has written this as a response: "Grimace why does your hand look like that"
