Salt Bae is an iconic meme figure from an image of the celebrity chef sprinkling salt on a steak. His look is easy to replicate, with only a white shirt, sunglasses and enough salt to throw around until the people hosting the party get sick of cleaning up after you and ask you to leave.
Morbius

This costume can be as simple or elaborate as you want it to be. In order to be Morbius, you can wear a cheap mask that somehow looks better than the real CGI in the movie, or you can just put on a gray hoodie and act all mysterious. It doesn’t matter how you Morb, because Morbius and his memorable film will remain one of the most recognizable references of the year.
Change My Mind

If you're planning on giving out candy to trick-or-treaters, change my mind could be the costume for you. If you've got a table, a mug, and a means of making a poster with a witty joke on it, you're pretty much set, and you could lazily use this as your costume while you sit outside and hand out candy.
Amogus

A really-low effort Among Us crewmate costume could always be fun, especially since the meme is so dead that it's developed into the undying ironic "Amogus" meme. The worse your costume, the better. You could honestly just wear a red t-shirt and a pair of classes, then claim you're Amogus whenever anyone asks. Or you could create a DIY monstrosity like the Redditor above did.
Drake from "Hotline Bling"
Drakeposting has been a popular meme since before many of us can remember. It features Drake in a coat pointing to something he likes and turning away from something he hates, using images from his "Hotline Bling" music video. If you've got an orange or red coat lying around, this is the perfect easy costume for you.
Gentleminions
Being a gentleminion is a costume that doesn’t necessarily need to be reserved for Halloween, because people were doing this from the moment Minions: The Rise of Gru hit theaters. In case you don’t remember, teens and adults showed up in full suits to watch the movie and were often kicked out for being disruptive, often starting mosh pits to the song "Rich Minion" by Yeat. In order to recreate this trend, all you need is a formal-looking suit.
Homelander

Homelander from The Boys has been pretty significant in the meme world, especially this year, since season three was released. Homelander costumes may be a little more complicated than the rest, but anything that looks violently American could work, especially if you’re able to give off those weird psychopathic vibes Homelander has, you could easily recreate some of his most iconic memes, like Homelander laughing and Stressed Homelander.
The Blue Lobster

The Blue Lobster is obviously the most difficult one on this list, since any form of minimalism would make it difficult for Halloween partygoers to understand what you’re dressed as. But if you’re really committed, you can always go with the “scariest” jumpscare meme of the year for Halloween. You’ll have to explain to your friends why you’re an adult human being willingly dressed as a lobster, though.
