It's a great image isn't it! Imagine Darth Vader on one side, light saber ready to go with his cloak swishing behind him - on the other side is someone in a baby blue suit with a dodgy top hat on - so who wins...
Well, I think a Dumb and Dumber Tux will *always* beat a Darth Vader costume, and here's why...
The Darth Vader look is an iconic costume from a true movie classic - all well and good, but wearing it to a party is not exactly original. In fact, it may come across as geeky, nerdy, or slightly boring.
A Dumb and Dumber suit, on the other hand, has elements of surprise which will help you make an impression -
Some people will recognize it straight away from the 90s comedy, and smile at the memory.
Some people will have a quizzical look as a memory is triggered, but they are not quite sure where from.
Others will have no idea, but will be forced by sheer curiosity to ask what the costume is all about.
You can go for the baby blue worn by Jim Carrey, or the bright orange that Jeff Daniels wore, but I do suggest you get the hat too, as it sets off the look perfectly - let's face it, if you're going for a Dumb and Dumber Tux, you'd look dumb without the hat, right?
Put those elements together with the fact thatDumb and Dumberwas a slapstick comedy after all, and I'm afraid the Darth Vader look just won't stand a chance!
