IMO, of all the funny Halloween costumes, punny Halloween costumes are truly the best. What's funnier than going to a Halloween party and seeing a cow with a halo in the corner or a piece of toast wearing a beret by the table of Halloween treats? It's instant entertainment! Plus, it's a very easy convo starter if you're meeting new people. Wearing a punny Halloween costume guarantees at least a good few minutes of non-awkward social interaction and laughs. I mean, just look at this list of punny costumes and tell me you don't think at least one of them would be the funniest Halloween costume you see all night.
The best part? Punny Halloween costumes can be as low-lift as you want. If you want to do a detailed Halloween makeup tutorial to turn yourself into a Pig in a Blanket, go for it! Or, if you want to just buy some pig ears, wrap a blanket around your shoulders, and call it a night, that works, too! After all, Halloween is only days away, so you'll want a last-minute costume you can put together in no time. Ready to embrace the puns and get in on the wordplay? Here are the 32 best punny Halloween costumes you can wear this year.
Cat Burglar
Sure, you could just dress up as Catwoman (a literal cat burglar), but where's the pun in that? Instead, wear your best burglar costume and add in some cat accessories. And, boom, the pun is alive!

Don a sailor's outfit with the word "obvious" over it, and you have permission to say the most duh-worthy facts all night.

Blessing in Disguise
Get a "Blessing" T-shirt or make your own. The important thing is that people know you are a Blessing. As for the "disguise" part, that's what the fake nose and glasses are for.
