Cosplay is weird enough when it’s just geeks in homemade Stormtrooper costumes. But these photos of “Simpsons” cosplay bypass Weirdville and head straight into Creepy Town. Rather than settle for making a costume, they recreate specific screencaps, and the combination of low-fi effects with precise detail is an unsettling juxtaposition. Or maybe it’s the ping-pong ball eyes. Or the way Sideshow Bob looks like a slaughtered funhouse mannequin.
There aren’t too many details on this at Reddit or SplitSider, but I think I’m going to blame Japan for this, or maybe Korea. A while back, someone complained about my Japanese stereotypes of tentacle porn and panty vending machines and groping schoolgirls on the subway — I think he said something about Japan having efficient trains and very small trees and whatnot. Well, this cosplay cancels all the good stuff out. This is almost as bad as the “Simpsons” live-action porn.
