Halloween (or any other type of themed party or event) is coming up and two or more characters decide to coordinate their costumes and go as a group costume. Unfortunately, the big event arrives and their attempt fails because one of the group members either dressed inappropriately, failed to dress at all, or couldn't show up. The result is this trope and often leads to embarrassment and frustration for the focus characters. This is often related to Themed Party, where the failure sticks out amongst all the other partygoers wearing appropriate costumes. It also overlaps with Coordinated Clothes, as the characters attempt to invoke this trope with their costume set. This often occurs in a show's Halloween Episode. |

In "The Holographic Excitation", Sheldon and Amy struggle to agree on a couples costume. They end up compromising as Raggedy Ann and...Raggedy C-3PO. Downplayed, since Amy is just glad the costumes are somewhat related so she can say she's officially in a couple. | |

The Simpsons: In "Pygmoelian," Homer, Lenny, and Carl show up to support Moe at a bartending contest, with the plan for each of them to have a letter painted on their chest to spell out "MOE." However, Lenny got confused and thought he was O instead of E, leading them to spell out "MOO" when they remove their shirts. | |

Community: In the episode "Epidemiology", Troy and Abed go as Ripley in the power loader and the alien queen from Aliens, respectively, after spending days creating their costumes. When Troy realizes that girls are turned off by the "nerdy" costume, he switches to a shirtless "sexy Dracula" instead, upsetting Abed. In the episode "Paranormal Parentage", Jeff and Annie dress up as a boxer and Ring Girl, which Annie misinterprets as being Samara from The Ring as opposed to a boxing ring girl like Jeff intended. |

Scrubs: A flashback to JD and Turk's college years has Turk introducing JD to his all-black fraternity, with JD in blackface and himself in whiteface. JD is worried about offending them, but Turk insists that as long as the two of them are together, his frat brothers will find it funny. The fail comes after they knock on the frat house door, when Turk suddenly spots a female classmate he has a thing for and leaves JD in the lurch to go flirt with her. What's worse is that he was mistaken, the girl was someone else entirely. | |

In "The Justice League Recombination", the gang recruit Penny and her ex-boyfriend Zack to compete in the comic book store's New Year's Eve group costume contest with them so they can go as the Justice League of America. Penny rebels first because she doesn't want to wear the brunette wig for Wonder Woman and later because of feeling awkward around Zack and Leonard, but eventually does join, in the wig, helping them clinch victory (especially because the other groups dressed as the Justice League looked terrible in comparison).

Unwinder's Tall Comics: Invoked and subverted in the backstory for one Halloween comic. Unwinder and Mildred initially agreed to do a couples costume by dressing up as Jon and Kate Gosselin (with dolls to represent their eight children). But at the last minute, Undwinder dressed up as Charles Darwin instead—partly to set up Mildred to go as "Kate Plus Eight" by herself, and partly to troll the church that's hosting the Halloween party. But Mildred managed to change her costume to Emma Darwin (Charles' wife) in time for the party, making their costumes match after all, much to Unwinder's annoyance. | |

Mystery Science Theater 3000: Pearl Forrester attempts to invoke this trope in the episode "The Screaming Skull". She, along with Observer and Bobo, dress up in penguin costumes, then call Mike and the 'bots to desperately ask why they don't also have penguin costumes on—gaslighting them into thinking they'd forgotten a prior agreement to dress up as penguins together for some reason. Mike and the 'bots fall for it and scramble to put on the only animal costumes they have on hand (a dog, a sheep, and a deer). Pearl laughs at them all for being so gullible, then makes herself look even lamer than them when she boasts about how "easy" it was to set up this prank. | |

Austin & Ally: During one of Disney Channel's Halloween Crossover events, the sitcom's main cast tried to do a group costume as a BLT sandwich, with Austin as bacon, Ally as a tomato, Trish as the bread, and Dez was supposed to be the lettuce... but for some reason he thought the "L" in BLT was for lemon. In a later Halloween Episode, they subvert this trope by doing a successful group costume as an Expy of the Scooby-Doo gang. | |

Gravity Falls: In "Summerween", Dipper and Mabel planned to do a twin costume theme of Peanut Butter and Jelly, but Dipper tries to back out because a comment from Robbie and Wendy makes him think he's too old for trick-or-treating, pretending he's sick so he can go to a teen party. He's forced into wearing the costume when the Summerween Trickster gives them an ultimatum to collect 500 pieces of candy by the end of the night. | |
