One of the most fun and memorable memes of 2017 has to be the comical “distracted boyfriend” meme.
What began as just someone just laughing at a stock photo of a man checking out another women while walking with his girlfriend turned into one of the biggest viral sensations of the year.
If you somehow are not familiar with it, (a) where have you been? And (b) here are a few solid examples…

And, naturally…
Got it? Good stuff, right?
Well, it just got better because a genius named Chase Mitchell decided that the “distracted boyfriend” meme would make for one hell of a Halloween costume. And you know what? He was 100% correct.

That…is amazingly well-executed right there.
Of course, his tweeps absolutely loved it…
I appreciate the attention to detail of getting the perspective right on this. This is no half ass meme effort

I think this may indeed be genius in the true sense of the word. https://t.co/qy25wtOCnW
