1. The "Unknown" from the Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience

The viral Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience gave us plenty of memes, but adding the horrifying "Unknown" to the mix was legendary. In this low-budget universe, this evil chocolate maker lives in the factory's walls.

If you want to dress up as the villain, you only need a black hooded cloak, a silver mask, and a black wig. Feel free to BYOM (bring your own mirror).

2. The miserable Oompa Loompa woman from the Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience

Returning to the not-so-magical land of Glasgow Wonka, another viral character was the Oompa Loompa woman who looked like she was running a meth lab paradise.

If you can buy a green wig (bob-cut style) and orange makeup, you can likely oompa-loompa doopity doo.

3. The Dune: Part II popcorn bucket

Dune: Part II made headlines before it even premiered. The exclusive theater popcorn bucket was...uh...suggestive, but everyone would recognize it as a costume.

So get your Shai-Hulud-ussy read by crafting a sandworm head. Just remember to get your popcorn!

4.The "Lisan Al-Gaib" meme from Dune: Part II

One of the many memes from Dune: Part II was Stilgar suddenly and excitedly saying, "Lisan Al-Gaib," in reaction to Paul Atreides.

You'll need to research and invest in some cosplay-worthy stillsuit to really sell it, but perhaps a cord in your nostrils and a beard will be enough.

The 2024 Paris Olympics DELIVERED on the memes. Two of the most memorable viral moments were shooters South Korea's Kim Yeji and Turkey's Yusuf Dikeç, looking casual, relaxed, and pretty badass.

Grab a water gun and put one hand in your pocket. Come as you are for this costume or order those cool glasses.

One of the biggest surprises of Deadpool & Wolverine was seeing Channing Tatum finally portray his role as Gambit. The character was as unexpected as the performance but left its mark on the audience, and the Internet ate up the "Wooimbouttamakeanameformyselfere" meme.

Work on the accent and buy a deck of playing cards. Magic is possible with this costume.
