When it comes to Halloween, nobody does a coordinated friends costume like Benito Skinner and Mary Beth Barone.
In recent years, the two comedians, actors, and Ride podcast co-hosts—who are also real-life BFFs—have nailed the storied art of incredibly niche, highly specific, social media brainrot Halloween costumes. In 2021, they paid homage to Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian; In 2023, they dressed up as Kylie Jenner and the Schiaparelli lion. What a roar! This year, they even recreated the iconic exchange between Dakota Johnson and Ellen DeGeneres (on her daytime talk show Ellen) in which Johnson quipped, “That’s not the truth, Ellen.”
