The First Annual Disner Awards! (Part 1)

Phew, Comic-Con this year was a BEAST. But now that it's over, we've got some free time to, you know, reflect. After flipping through the pictures I've taken so far, I've decided it's best to award my own prizes for exemplary performance. And what better way to do that than rip off the title from the famous comic industry awards? Here's part one, the Joker division:

1) The "They Really should Start Checking People for Weapons" Award:
Seriously, this is a real switchblade knife. WTF?


The Award for "Actually Creepy in Real Life":(Just taking this guy's picture was seriously creeping me out. He kept licking his lips and rocking back and forth on his heels. Way to commit, really!)

Conversely, the "You are WAYYYY too happy to be playing this character" Award:
He looks like he brought that crowbar as a gift to my birthday party!

The "I had no idea Joker wore glasses" category:
Comic-Con: Not letting physical impairments get in the way of your costume dreams since 1978.

The "Parents should really research what they're letting their 8 year olds dress up as before allowing it" Award:
(As I took this picture, he hissed: "Why so serious?")

The "You're not fooling anyone, we all know that's a pom pom on top of your head" Award Winner:Bonus points are awarded for the use of his sister's lipstick, too.


Sexiest Adaptation:
I'd do her.

"The Best Overheard Pissing Contest" Award:
Joker on Right: "Where'd you get your jacket?"
Joker on Left: "Ebay."
JR: "Oh, I made mine. It took forever."
JL: "Cool. Is the red for your smile facepaint, too? It looks kind of light compared to mine..."
JR: "Oh, it's lipstick."
JL: "Oh."
::awkward silence::


And finally, the Award for "Excellence in being completely oblivious to the background tongue action going on just feet behind you" goes to:

Disco Joker!
