Morning 6-Pack - Hilariously Bad 'Sexy' Halloween Picks
Americans say they're sick of the "sexy" version of everything — that's the big takeaway, right up front. So we crank through a Morning 6-Pack about Halloween burnout, calling out the whole trend of turning every job into fishnets (sexy nurse, sexy cop, sexy TSA... seriously?). I poke fun at people knee-deep in Joker and Harley Quinn clones and defend the poor pirate for once, while admitting I'm the kind of big guy who can only pull off Hodor. Only about one in four adults plan to dress up, but two-thirds say you're never too old to do it, so go be weird — just maybe skip the tired looks. We count down six of the least-popular "sexy" costumes; I’ll tease the list but I’m not giving away the top spot.
Takeaways:
- I say America’s officially tired of sexy versions of everything — seriously, stop it already, people.
- I point out only about one in four adults actually plan to dress up this Halloween season, wild contrast.
- I note over two-thirds of folks still believe you’re never too old to rock a costume, embrace the chaos.
- I gripe that pirates, Joker lookalikes, and Harley Quinn imitators are getting seriously overdone at parties these days.
- In our Morning 6-Pack I roast bizarre least-popular sexy picks — some political, some gross; I won’t spoil the top spot.
- I admit I’m a big boy who basically can only pull off Hodor as a costume, I keep it real.

Good morning.
Speaker A:It's Haystack.
Speaker A:Gonna do a morning six pack in just a moment.
Speaker A:Talking all about Halloween.
Speaker A:And if you're dressing up for Halloween this year, now is obviously the time to start thinking about it.
Speaker A:We're less than a month away.
Speaker A:It's October.
Speaker A:It's Halloween month.
Speaker A:Americans, though, would like you to stop doing the sexy version of everything.
Speaker A:Sexy nurse.
Speaker A:Stop it.
Speaker A:Sexy cop.
Speaker A:Stop it.
Speaker A:Sexy TSA agent.
Speaker A:At some point, we took every job in the economy and we said, what if we just made this job but with fishnets?
Speaker A:A new survey asked which costumes are the most overdone.
Speaker A:Which are most overdone and sexy version of anything came in at number one.
Speaker A:Pirates were number two, which feels a little harsh to me.
Speaker A:I mean, pirates have been holding Halloween together for generations.
Speaker A:Pirates.
Speaker A:They're not overdone.
Speaker A:Come on now.
Speaker A:Although I do definitely agree with number three and four.
Speaker A:The joker costume came in number three.
Speaker A:I mean, there was a stretch where every Halloween party had six jokers with the one guy explaining why his was more comic accurate.
Speaker A:The other costumes, people are tired of number four, Harley Quinn.
Speaker A:Also cowboys, hippies, minions, mimes and Where's Waldo.
Speaker A:And here's the funny part, only about one in four adults actually plans to dress up at all this year.
Speaker A:But just over two thirds of us say you are never too old to do it.
Speaker A:So apparently our national position on Halloween is you should absolutely dress up.
Speaker A:I'm not going to, but you should.
Speaker A:And I feel that because that's my position.
Speaker A:I love costumes and seeing them all.
Speaker A:But as a big boy, it's hard for me to dress up as anything other than Hodor.
Speaker A:But yeah, Americans say they're sick of sexy anything.
Speaker A:So stop it with the sexy stuff.
Speaker A:Apparently.
Speaker A:Although maybe if you do something unique, it could be a hit.
Speaker B:Well, gather round, folks.
Speaker B:It's the time of day when we laugh and smile in a light hearted way.
Speaker B:Tune in for the giggles and let's kick back.
Speaker B:Here comes the fun.
Speaker B:It's the morning six pack.
Speaker A:If you're just bound to determine to do sexy something, here are the top six least popular sexy Halloween costumes.
Speaker A:The least popular sexy Halloween costumes.
Speaker A:Coming in at number six, sexy Mitch McConnell.
Speaker A:Number five, sexy $50 Sam's Club hot dog.
Speaker A:Number four, sexy Trad wife.
Speaker A:Number three, sexy Flock camera.
Speaker A:Number two, sexy Canker sore.
