Japan’s “Mundane” Halloween Contest of 2019

[capitalCORN]

Maybe he wants to use his clothes to dry his hands? I can't stand the sound of air blowers and using paper towels just to dry your hands seems unneccessary.

WAT

 

[Firemind]

You just shake your hands after washing. Your clothes will not get drenched if you wipe it off a bit lol

Paper is bad for the environment and air blower is not exactly hygienic.

 

[pleaseinsertdisctwo]

THESE are my kinda costumes

 

[Ithil]

I like how the umbrella guy is wet but not that wet.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Paper towels? Well excuse me madam :p

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Why can't y'all be normal

Wait

 

[Lord Azrael]

lol These are great

 

[Mechaplum]

These are a thousand times more interesting than the real costumes.

 

[chrisPjelly]

All of them speak to me on a spiritual level wow

 

[Indelible]

This is hilarious, thank you Japan.

 

[L Thammy]

This would be awesome if hundreds of people did it together.

Love this.



That would be me, good thing they don't exist here. I'd eat $30 worth.

When I first tried got my first job and tried first sushi, I didn't think of the price and bought $25 party sets for lunch.

It was actually pretty awesome.

 

[GustyGardens]

[Gambit61]

Click to shrink...

Haha, this is me. I don't care, if it looks tasty I'm taking it.

How does he know of my life???

 

[Sulik2]

Click to shrink...

I did actually. I know Japan is supposed to be the healthiest and thinnest developed country, it just really hit me in these pics for some reason.

 

[Saturday]

Awh I'd have a fucking blast going to these types of shindigs, starting with my brave-yet-controversial piece 'Man on flight who firmly believes that being in the middle seat entitles you to both armrests' and I'd have the armrests glued to my sleeves.

Haha that one is a great idea

 

[WrenchNinja]

This shit is hilarious

 

[TheUnseenTheUnheard]

This is some good stuff. The esports guy one is amazing.

 

[pilcrow]

Banksy remote-controlling his shredder at auction

 

[Raide]

I would have probably gone as "man in light colored suit, drops coffee on crotch and hopes nobody notices."

 

[Thorn]

The E-Sport one had me fucking rolling.

 

[How About No]

this is beautiful

 

[Leo]

Omg this is perfection haha

The couple at Disneyland killed me.

 

[Deleted member 7130]

Yo, these are legit amazing

 

[Olorin]

Oh my god these are all fantastic. All of them.

Click to shrink...

Dead. LOL

 

[Deleted member 35048]

I would totally do this like in my country except people would find me lame

 

[Messofanego]

This is giving me life.

 

[DarthSpider]

I love this.

It's kind of sad that we barely get any exposure to "normal" Japan. All we get are the extravagant and odd things.

Click to shrink...

Yeah, some of these are actually really brilliant glimpses into everyday life in Japan. I had no idea this kind of costume contest existed, but it's amazing and I love it.

 

[Failburger]

Maybe the Japanese diet is low in added sugar...?

Click to shrink...

A dinner serving in Japan is the size of a side item in America, no joke. Here in America, we eat in excess.

also, these costumes beats anything I've seen lately. Next year, I know what I'm going in as.

Click to shrink...

It's really not, basically everything has sugar here to the point that it's challenging to find Japanese food without even a little bit of sweetness.

 

[Kendrid]

Everyone is skinny

Click to shrink...

the food portion size in Japan is small. I went to bed hungry every night. That isn't a bad thing.

 

[Kendrid]

I did actually. I know Japan is supposed to be the healthiest and thinnest developed country, it just really hit me in these pics for some reason.

Click to shrink...

I actually ate a lot of fried food when I was there, and my Japanese coworkers said it was normal. It is all potion size. Even a Coke is tiny and no free refills. Here we get 1000 calories a glass with 3 refills.

lol wat

eat more ramen and Kara age or tonkatsu

I'm a big fat funster and I can barely get through two proper meals per day

I agree there are plenty of précis portion places but dang you can eat big for cheap if you want to

 

[Stinkles]
