The Internet would be a cold, dark, dead place without memes. What would we have to talk about -- POLITICS?!? I think not. It's such a boring topic, unless, for instance, a presidential candidate says something dumb, in which case the Internet turns a lame thing into something fun, and thus a meme is born.
Last night was the fourth annual HallowMEME Costume & Contest Party at the Bell House Brooklyn, New York, in which people were invited to dress up as their favorite memes. Unimpressed McKayla was represented, as was Pervert Stringray and Sad Skrillex.
We sent out our favorite photographer, the lovely Nadia Chaudhury, to take pictures of the Redditors, breastfeeding moms, and shamed dogs alike. Here are the costumes we enjoyed the most.
Voted the best costume overall.
This guy went as the "Batman Slapping Robin" meme, but his Robin backed out at the last second, which is the saddest thing I've ever heard.

I imagine this would be the most annoying party in the country. Let’s leave the internet shit on the internet, shall we?
I’d say I “got” about 2/3 of those. Is that good?
I got like 7/8 so I don’t know
I got maybe half and I’m very proud of that.
#23 would win a Michael Shannon lookalike contest.
I imagine #26 was incredible popular that night.
Most interesting guy in the world, nice!
Lots of CollegeHumor people there…ah they used to be funny.
Bunch of hipsters!
Tell me someone knows where to get a template of those 8-bit community masks!
I did a double take on the breast feeding lady. That’s sad.
I dont always get meme costumes…..but when i do….its after twenty minutes of research…
THIS!!!!!!!!
I want to say #35 is actually the youtube sensation “Sexy Sax Man”…

I almost went with the Fry meme this year, but I couldn’t find the right red jacket.
So is #28 the ‘crying Don Draper’ or the ‘violated by a stingray’ meme? ‘Cause the dude looks a little like Jon Hamm.
where is Grace Helbig!?
Lowe’s refused to give her the night off.
She was there, as one of like 20 McKaylas.
#19 SHOULD have been ‘the girl with the dragon tattoo’, she could still be in the next james bond flick.
What do I know right? I can’t leave the house wearing my tramp stamp..
Skrillex girl #cangetit
What’s #11′s meme
this is the cancer that kills the internet
Is the “pooped in your shoes” girl a meme or from German porn?
