Guests at a Betoota Ponds Halloween party were astutely underwhelmed today as the town’s most boring man came dressed as himself.
At 35 years old, accountant Tim Smith still has the go in him to organise a costume ahead of Halloween but chose not to as he thought it would be ‘funny’ if he dressed as himself, despite the fact that no one would ever do that, even if he was famous, which he would never be because he’s so boring.
“I came as myself, look, I even brought my clipboard from work,” stated Smith, boring even the reporting crew.
“These are my real notes on there.”
Since Australians agreed Americanisation is fine as long as we keep joining them in every global conflict, Halloween has grown in popularity across the nation leading many Australians to experiment with low-effort Halloween costumes.
Low-effort costume classics include going as laundry, a serial killer (they could be anyone) and a person who is almost naked.
Red heads have also had last minute costume success by putting a bandage over one ear and impersonating Dutch post-impressionist Vincent Van Gogh.
Yet all the severed ears of Halloween could not save Smith from living up to his reputation as a certified snooze-a-thon as he realised no one at the party was getting a kick out of his self-inspiration.
“Haha, this wasn’t even on purpose haha! I realised I didn’t have a costume so I thought ‘I’ll go as myself! That will get them!’”
“You should have seen the costume I ordered though, did you watch Squid Game?”
