Halloween is just around the corner, and you know what that means. Pretty soon, your social media feeds will be clogged with adorable pics of dressed-up kiddos, even cuter pet ensembles, so-called “sexy” costumes that are just plain wrong and even a few punny costumes for the more irreverent of us. And let’s not forget the annual parade of seriously offensive costume choices that always miss the mark.
Despite our best intentions, everyone has a costume fail (or two!) they’d rather forget—but not if Jimmy Fallon has anything to say about it.
If you’re a fan of late-night TV, you’re probably familiar with Fallon’s recurring “Hashtags” segment. Here’s how it works: The Tonight Show host asks his Twitter followers to share their stories related to a particular hashtag. Fallon then reads some of the funniest responses on his show, which airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. Eastern on NBC.
But one of our favorites was when Fallon called on Twitter to share their worst Halloween costumes with the hashtag #MyWorstCostume.
It’s Hashtags time! Describe your biggest Halloween costume fail and tag it with #MyWorstCostume. Could be on the show!

I couldn’t think of anything to go as, so I went to the party in just my boxer shorts. The host looked puzzled and asked what I was supposed to be. I told her I was “premature ejaculation”. She looked even more puzzled so I said “I’ve just come in my shorts”. #MyWorstCostume

Our son dressed as the Turbo Toilet 2000 from Captain Underpants, collected his candy in the toilet, only to have other people think that the toilet was how we were handing out candy. All our son's candy was gone and we couldn't console him. #MyWorstCostume pic.twitter.com/7lNXFFmz1I
