8. Beer Pint

A beer pint costume can be considered funny because it's a playful and lighthearted representation of a common item (a beer pint glass) and often elicits smiles from those who see it, due to its unexpected appearance. The costume can also be humorous because it often encourages people to act in a festive manner.

7. Rainbow Costume

A rainbow costume is a good choice for St. Patrick's Day because it is a nod to the Irish legend of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, which is commonly associated with the holiday. Additionally, the rainbow is a symbol of hope and positivity, which can add to the overall celebratory nature of the day.
