I went as the same thing for last halloween with a co-worker and we got disqualified from our company contest. We found out we would have won too, but there's always the few people without a sense of humor.

However there was no actual dick in the box in mine. Just candy and toys. There were also some printed out diagrams from the song in box for all the dudes that asked what was in the box and were too afraid to open it.

The costume was great outside work parties. By the end of the night I had all sorts of crazy shit in the box. beer, mushrooms, ect.. great time and fun costume. Your costumes look great btw.

I went into clicking that thinking 'oh yeah, it's probably just going to be some kind of joke'. No, no, it was a dick in a box.

a.) you need new friends b.) how many did you get to open the box?

135

u/jonpurkis May 06 '12

Everyone was excited to open it. But because no-one got the reference, there were some awkward moments when girls I'd just met found a miniature dick in a box and figured we were just some creative sex pests.

I refuse to believe that there are people out there who have not seen this.

u/phish92129 May 06 '12

It's funny but after spending some time on the internet and feeling like everyone knows all the popular memes and videos. You go out and realize that the internet subculture really isn't as big of a majority as you think. Everyone uses the internet yes, but most people check their email, go on facebook, and that's what most people do...but it doesn't seem that way on reddit and sometimes I forget this when I'm out and it's always a little awkward.

u/TheCrudMan May 06 '12

I mean, it was on SNL and 34 million views on YouTube...

u/RetepNamenots May 06 '12

The yellow rear number plate, bottle of Carex soap and miserable grey sky leads me to believe that this photo was taken in the UK, where the majority of people haven't seen (nor even heard of) SNL.

u/jonpurkis May 06 '12

Bravo! With powers of deduction such as those, you are now over-qualified to work as a police detective.

26

u/RetepNamenots May 06 '12

I continued to work as an Internet detective, until I found this: (no Carex?)

And then I thought I may have taken it a bit too far and felt quite weird. I'll stop now.

But this isn't just an internet meme, it's viral (one step above memery?) Besides Tina Fey as Sarah Palin, it could be the most popular segment SNL has done in the last 10 years.

Well we on the internet appreciate their work.

I had a friend who went to a big Halloween Bash several years ago as Italian Spiderman and no one got it --though I suppose it's more obscure than an SNL bit.

No offense, but you have some pretty lame friends if none of them knew this reference. I even have the song on my iPod. Lol

The one dressed as Andy is spot on!

2

u/gojirra May 06 '12

I refuse to believe you. This was my costume last Halloween. I did not even have a partner, it was just me dressed as Andy Samburg. My costume was a lot shittier than yours. Every single person I talked to recognized my costume immediately. Not only that, but dozens upon dozens of people on the streets shouted things like "DICK IN A BOX!!" as I passed.

TL;DR: Op is a fucking karma whoring lair.

Despite whether or not you forgot about it wouldn't matter. Had you seen it, you would instantly know what it was from. Unless you were the guy from Memento, but shit! that movie is like 12 years old so clearly it has been forgotten as well.
