After sleeping soundly for one hour, the woman woke up feeling better. As it was still early, she decided to go to the party.
She thought it would be fun to watch how her husband acted when she wasn't there, so she wore a brand-new costume that he wouldn't recognize.
She joined the party and soon spotted her husband cavorting around on the dance floor, dancing with every hot babe in the joint, copping a feel here and a kiss there.
Angrily, she sidled up to her husband, who immediately left his dance partner to be with this "new" babe.
She let him go as far as he wished; naturally, since he was her husband. Finally he whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed, so they went in the back and had sex.
She then slipped away and went home, appalled at her husband's behavior. She put the costume away and waited, ready to blast him when he got home.
When he got home she was in bed, pretending to read, and she asked him if he had a good time without her.
He said, "Not really; I never have a good time when you're not there."
"Is that so?" she said. "So you didn't dance at all?"
And he said, "Nope, not one dance."
Gritting her teeth in anger she said, "Not even one?"
And he said, "No. As soon as I arrived I saw Pete, Bill and some other guys. Because you weren't there, I just went with them into the den and played poker."
Furious, the wife said, "You must have looked like a real asshole, playing poker in your bear costume."
And the husband said, "Actually, I lent my costume to your brother, and he told me he had an absolute blast!"
Joke Poo: The Cosplay Convention
A renowned manga artist was invited to a cosplay convention. He was thrilled but his assistant, fearing burnout before a major deadline, begged him to stay home. She promised to handle any urgent matters. Reluctantly, he agreed, saying he’d just work late and catch up on the manga.
Later that afternoon, the assistant finished her urgent tasks and, feeling a surge of excitement, decided to attend the convention anyway. She knew her boss, the artist, would be working and wouldn’t see her, so she decided to wear an elaborate, brand-new cosplay of his most popular character – a fierce warrior queen – that he’d never seen.
She arrived and immediately spotted someone dressed as her favorite character that her boss created. The character was a quirky, mischievous demon. The demon was weaving through the crowd, posing for pictures with fans, and flirting outrageously with anyone who caught their eye.
Amused, the assistant approached, and the “demon” focused their attention entirely on her. The demon led her through the convention, buying her snacks, showering her with compliments, and expertly navigating the crowded aisles. They even snuck into a storage room for a passionate… photoshoot.
Completely flustered and impressed, she eventually slipped away, changed back into her normal clothes, and headed to the studio, ready to face her boss. She imagined his surprise when she told him about her day and his star character’s amazing portrayal!
When she arrived, she found him hunched over his drawing table, looking exhausted.
“Did you have a good day?” she asked casually.
He sighed, “Not really. Didn’t get much done. I miss these cons.”
“Really?” she pressed. “Didn’t you even meet any fans?”
He looked up, confused. “Meet fans? Nope. Just stayed here and worked.”
Confused and emboldened, the assistant said, “You must have looked ridiculous, stuck in the studio all day in your demon cosplay!”
The artist blinked. “Actually, I let that Twitch streamer, Markiplier, borrow it. He said he was having a blast meeting everyone at the con. Said it was one of the best cosplay meetups ever!”
Okay, here’s my analysis and humorous enrichment of the Halloween party joke:
Joke Analysis:
- Core Elements:
- Mistaken Identity: Wife wears a disguise, husband doesn’t recognize her.
- Double Deception: Both the husband and wife are secretly acting out of character.
- Unexpected Twist: The husband wasn’t the one in the bear costume, his brother-in-law was.
- Hypocrisy: The wife assumes the worst based on her own actions while disguised.
- Humor Source: The humor derives from the wife’s self-righteous outrage, the husband’s seeming innocence (with a darker undercurrent), and the unexpected twist of the brother-in-law’s involvement. It’s a classic “who’s telling the truth?” scenario with a comedic punchline.
Factual/Interesting Tidbits to Play With:
- Bear Costumes: According to a 2023 survey by the National Retail Federation, animal-themed costumes are in the top 10 most popular adult Halloween costumes, bears being among the favourites.
- Poker: The odds of being dealt a specific poker hand is staggering. For example, the chance of being dealt a royal flush in the first five cards is approximately 1 in 649,740. A good way to pass the time when you’re not philandering.
- Costume Parties: Historically, costume parties have roots in masquerade balls that date back to 15th-century Venice. They served as a way for people to temporarily shed their social identities and engage in anonymous revelry. (In this case, VERY anonymous!)
Humorous Enrichment: An Alternate Joke Ending (inspired by the poker odds)
Furious, the wife said, “You must have looked like a real asshole, playing poker in your bear costume.”
And the husband said, “Actually, I lent my costume to your brother, and he told me he had an absolute blast! He said he got a royal flush on the first deal – can you believe those odds? But that’s not the craziest part; the ‘hot babe’ in the cat costume who was there turned out to be…wait for it…our mother! She said she never gets to be spontaneous anymore and that she needed a wild night. This family is a disaster, I’m going to sleep.”
