9 Funny College Halloween Costumes for Guys in 2023

1. Pointing Spiderman Meme

The pointing Spiderman meme is one of the most iconic and enduring memes of all time, as well as one of our favorite funny college Halloween costumes for guys!

Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland recreated the meme while filming Spider-Man: No Way Home, and if you’ve seen Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, you’ll know that one of the funniest scenes in the movie references the meme. 

If you’re looking for a hilarious Halloween costume that you can do together with a friend, the pointing Spiderman meme is the perfect choice. 

Of course, all you need is two Spiderman costumes.

Make sure to get a picture of yourselves recreating the pointing Spiderman pose!

2. Barbie and Ken

If you’re looking for a couples Hallowee costume idea, you can’t go wrong with Barbie and Ken. 

Barbie and Ken are always timeless and iconic, but they’re especially relevant this year because of the Barbie movie!

Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling wear so many incredible outfits throughout the film, so you have a ton of ideas to choose from. 

You can always go with a classic light blue button down top and shorts, or you can spice it up with a themed Barbie and Ken costume. 

Try dressing as ‘80s workout Barbie and Ken, cowboy Barbie and Ken, or even beach Barbie and Ken!

3. Gomez and Morticia Addams

If you’re looking for a spookier Halloween couple’s costume idea, Gomez and Morticia Addams is always a classic choice!

For your part of the costume, you’re going to need a sleek black suit with white pinstripes. 

If you really want to go the extra mile, you’ll need some heavy duty hair gel to slick your hair into Gomez’s signature hairstyle. 

You’ll also need to borrow your girlfriend’s eyeliner for Halloween make up to draw on his signature pencil mustache and black-rimmed eyes!

4. Mario and Luigi

Mario and Luigi is another super fun pop culture costume that you can do with a friend - perfect college Halloween costume for 2023. 

In addition to being super iconic (and timely, because of The Super Mario Bros. Movie), this costume idea is also relatively easy to recreate with clothing items you may already own. 

You’ll need a red t-shirt and a green t-shirt, and then two pairs of blue overalls. 

Then to finish off the look, all you need to buy is two fake mustaches, two pairs of white gloves, a red Mario hat, and a green Luigi hat!

5. Retro The Rock

This next costume idea is another classic meme. 

Plus, as an added bonus, you might not even need to buy any additional items to recreate this costume, making this a super simple Halloween costumes for college guys!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock (no pun intended), you’ve probably seen the iconic image of a young Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson posing in a black turtleneck.

6. Ted Lasso

If you’re a fan of Ted Lasso, you should totally dress as Jason Sudekis’ titular character for Halloween!

You’ll need a buttondown shirt, a navy crewneck sweater or sweatshirt, and a pair of khaki trousers. 

Then, top off the look with a whistle and Ted Lasso’s signature mustache!

7. Ron Swanson

Another of our favorite easy Halloween costumes for guys is Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation.

To dress like Ron Swanson, you’ll need a burgundy long-sleeved polo shirt, khaki trousers, and a belt. 

All you need to buy is a fake mustache to replicate Ron’s signature facial hair.

8. Dwight Schrute 

If The Office is more your style than Parks and Recreation or Ted Lasso, you can always dress up as Dwight Schrute for Halloween!

To recreate Dwight Schrute’s iconic look, you’ll need a pale yellow short sleeved buttondown shirt, a tie, a pair of gray trousers, and a belt. 

If you really want your costume to be accurate, size up your shirt and pants to emulate Dwight’s frumpy, slightly baggy office attire. 

Then, finish it all off by parting your hair down the middle and sporting Dwight’s signature glasses!

9. Ratatouille

Another fun and versatile pop culture costume idea is Linguini from the iconic Pixar movie Ratatouille. 

This can be a solo, couple’s, or friend costume. 

No matter which version of the costume you do, you’ll need to get your hands on some chef’s whites to look like Linguini. 

If you’re dressing up solo, you can carry around a stuffed animal of a mouse or rat to represent Remy the Rat. 

If you’re dressing up with a friend or your girlfriend, they can dress up in gray and wear a pair of mouse ears to be Remy!
