The couples costume idea meme is pure art

Coming up with and executing a show-stopping couples Halloween costume is a delicate art. The best ones are always those that are smart and subtly brilliant, instead of in your face — no one wants to see another ketchup and mustard, or Mario and Luigi. Come on, people!

Over the years, the internet's come through in the clutch for Halloween enthusiasts and costume idea seekers around the world, and this year, thankfully, couples were blessed, too. The couples costume idea meme is funny and smart as hell, spinning your favorite internet moments, new and classic, into the format of a couples costume. My favorites so far have been Cardi B and her beloved purple blanket, and Princess Nokia and soup.

Below, we've rounded up a few of our faves for your enjoyment. Happy Hallo-meme!
