GWAR Costumes Ranked by How Hard They Would Make Selling Insurance

So you sold out and got yourself a little corporate job selling insurance. Congrats! However, in order to sell insurance and actually support yourself with it, you need charisma, people skills, and some level of intelligence, and a good work ethic. And you have none of those qualities. So what now? You think back to the time you took your girlfriend to a GWAR concert. She was appalled. You were inspired. You felt like you could do more with your life. You could be anyone or anything if you set your mind to it. Your life peaked here.

This guide will help you pick out which of these GWAR costumes will help you land the sale or get you kicked out of the meeting before it even starts. Starting from the easiest going all the way to borderline arrestable.

25. Beefcake the Mighty

Probably one of your safest bets. Anyone wearing this costume will make people think they’re a misunderstood sweetheart who got hurt in the past and needs a little comfort in life. Put this one on and you’ll get more deals than all of Wall Street combined. You might also get a back rub while you’re at it.

24. Postulus Maximus

Perhaps one of the more intimidating costumes at first glance. However, once you get past the 15-inch tusks, and blueish devilish face, it’s actually quite a charmer. You also need to airbrush a 10-pack to your core, and thick meaty thighs, giving the impression that you work out often and care about your health. Thus you care about your clients’ health and wellbeing as well.

23. Balsac the Jaws of Death

This one might be tough but once you get past the fact that you have no eyes with this and can’t make proper eye contact, they’re in. Clients won’t know where to look after they sign their life away to you. So they’ll be drawn to your razor-sharp airbrushed abs. And who can say no to abs like that? Exactly. This one’s a safe bet.

22. Oderus Urungus

This costume really has it all. Charm, class, elegance. The beard has gotten a little out of hand so you might have some explaining to do as to why you haven’t had a touch-up in a while. But if you can schmooze your way out of that dealbreaker, you can certainly sell any knucklehead whatever bullshit insurance you have to offer.

21. Sawborg Destructo

You might be able to make the sale with this one. Just maybe. But when you’re out for dinner celebrating your one and only victory they’ll see your true colors. The intrusive thoughts that come with this costume are hard to avoid. You’ll just want to cut everything in half, including the clients! You’d better add a no refunds clause into that contract if you want to pay your parents’ rent.

20. Sleazy P. Martini

Okay, hear me out. At first glance this is not the most trustworthy costume. Although he reminds us of Count Volpe from “Pinnochio, “so you’re not off to a good start. But something about the costume seems like you’re just trying to make an honest living in this fucked up world.

19. Slymenstra Hymen

Looking like the long-lost female member of a Kiss cover band, dressing up as Mrs. Hymen might not be so bad. Your target demographic would be hardcore Kiss fans, so know your base. Know the references and don’t use as much tongue.

18. Mattron

This one looks like a half-assed prehistoric Daft Punk costume. With this costume you’re going to have to show full chest. Are you ready for that? Probably not. No one in the world is ready for that.

17. Toe E. Namel

Toe’s costume reminds us of that one cousin who decides to show up randomly to Thanksgiving dinner after not hearing from him for five years. You don’t know where he disappeared to, but every time you see him he has a new personality and a new way to make a million dollars. Toe looks like he just spent 3 months mining .0001% of a bitcoin. So if you choose this costume, know your audience. You might just do well.

16. Bonesnapper the Cave Troll

This one looks like if The Hulk and Godzilla had a demon baby that grew up with Daddy issues. We’ve all been screwed over before by someone who looks like this cave troll before. So you’re going to have an uphill battle when it comes to selling anything to anyone using this costume.Maybe if you hit another rock bottom and decide to sell cars instead, this could work. But for insurance, probably not.

15. Hans Orifice

See back in the ’80s, this costume was killing it. But look, it’s 2024 now, and this, this is just your average burning man attire. Are we selling insurance or did we just spend two weeks in the desert after three weeks of not showering.

14. The Master

This costume looks like the creature that hovers over our beds when we have sleep paralysis. Clients will be sweating profusely from the moment you walk in as you remind them of the worst sleep they’ve ever had.

13. Joey Slutman

We created a fake Tinder profile to see how likable someone wearing this costume could be in today’s society. And let’s just say, you would attract some very interesting characters with this. There’s just something about those overly exposed thighs that can be too distracting.

12. Techno Destructo

Are you serious? Don’t even consider this one. See that giant fucking wrench? How can anyone get anything done with that thing attached? Why have such an attachment and not squeeze everything around you? While this may seem like a lot of fun to wear, you can’t use that to sell insurance. Work can’t be fun, remember that.

11. Scroda Moon

This costume reminds people of a freshly shaved ballsack, and that shit just doesn’t sit right with us. It feels like you can’t even touch this costume without it burning. Also, what’s up with the shirt? It’s ripped to shreds! No one would listen to a word you say when they are forced to maintain eye contact with your nipples in this costume.

10. Jizmak Da Gusha

Imagine trying to explain to someone why you’re 90% flesh, 10% fur and teeth, and then trying to sell them something. You put this on and your soul is immediately transformed into the freak show of a werewolf you’re meant to be. It’s hard to resist the temptation to take a bite out of your clients wearing this.

9. Flattus Maximus

With a face like the worldwide family classic 2001 Jeepers Creepers, you’re going to freak most people out. Your only possible clientele will be those people who buy the blue alien Fleshlight as their first choice. Is that really who you want to be dealing with?

8. Cardinal Syn

Something about this costume makes it feel like it comes with a dump truck of an ass. And that just has to get in the way of getting anything done in the insurance business. Have you ever seen Cardinal Syn turn around? Neither have we. They’re hiding something back there and they can’t be trusted.

7. Gor-Gor

Let’s say you’re meeting a client with this costume. Fancy restaurant because, maybe, your parents taught you something right. You go up to shake their hand, and BAM. You accidentally fatally pierce your client’s head with your giant teeth. Your short arms make it impossible to be able to properly greet a client. Unless you wave hello to them. But then who would want to buy insurance from someone who greets them with a wave?

6. Dickie Duncan

Just… no.

5. Vulvatron

Are you kidding? How could anyone get anything done using this? She squirts blood from her nipples! And it’s fucking uncontrollable. Imagine you’re pitching insurance rates, meanwhile the nice white shirt your mom bought you for this is quickly getting soaked with gooey blood, only for it to burst through the shirt and splash on the faces of your clients. Think again.

4. Sexecutioner

Sexcuse me? Absolutely not. Why would anyone buy insurance from the guy that resembles The Gimp from “Pulp Fiction”? You know you can’t trust anyone in this costume. One minute you’re talking insurance rates, the next you’re on all fours with a gag, belt, and feathers, trying to muffle out “SEXCELLENT!” No thank you. Putting on this sexy latex costume you wouldn’t know if you should be discussing plans or your BDSM test results hoping your client is also a rope bunny.

3. World Maggot

Good news: this might just be the best-looking maggot anyone has ever seen.

Bad news: you’ll swallow up every client.

There’s a reason why this character was discontinued off tour so quickly. It just ate everything in sight. We lost many people to the jaws of death of that thing. And so will you. Something happens when you put this maggot suit on. You become one with the maggot. You inherit its appetite. You develop a taste for the people.

2. Oderus Urungus with The Cuttlefish of Cthulu

Oderus Urungus is solid without this attachment. But when you decide to incorporate the FULL Oderus costume, you’re in trouble. You turn around with this costume and you knock all the paperwork off your desk with your giant cock! Another big factor: the giant penis squirts out blood! With a mind of its own, you never know when it’s going to squirt three gallons of blood all over your insurance papers. Can’t file legal papers when it’s covered in demonic blood.

1. Berserker Blothar Brown

Jesus, what a sight! Clients will immediately want to climb on those antlers and ignore anything you want to sell them. How can we ignore the giant death-eating udders in your core that shoot out blood? That’s like Oderus Urungus with the Cuttlefish activated four times! And if they try to push those death udders to the side, their hands would get caught in the fangs and lose their arm completely! Can’t sign any documents without your hands.

But let’s be honest, we all want to fuck that weird mouth in the middle of the udders.

Boomer Dad Confused Why Describing Everyone’s Race, Weight, Unconfirmed Mental Disabilities, Hotness on 1-10 Scale in Anecdote So Bad

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. — Local dad and all-around asshole Bert Smilovic failed to understand criticism of his storytelling techniques which involve reducing all people to unhelpful demographics, his enraged children reported.

“My Gen-Z wannabe socialist kids are all mad that I like to paint a picture with my stories, just like that gay Black guy Basquiat,” blurted Smilovic, the thrice-divorced father of five. “I was telling them about this ugly 2-out-of-10 who was screaming at me while pumping gas the other day. She was clearly schizophrenic and looked to weigh 220, maybe 225. But I didn’t even get to that part of the story before the kids were screaming at me to stop. I can’t believe cancel culture has invaded my home.”

Smilovic’s children have become increasingly resistant to his unnecessary and reductive anecdotes.

“Everything is ‘Mexican guy’ this, ‘Black chick’ that, ‘total smokeshow 10’, and ‘probably abandoned by his father.’ We can’t fucking stand it anymore,” proclaimed Iris Smilovic, a Twitch moderator for Hasan Piker. “Dad says he’s ‘just adding detail’ to his stories, but why don’t those details ever include, say, clothing or location? The only time clothing comes up is whenever he says someone was wearing FUBU which happens to him about 3 times per week. I’ve literally never seen anyone wearing FUBU, so I don’t think he’s even correct in his details.”

Philosophers of ethics debate the pros and cons of correcting insufferable boomer behavior.

“On one hand, pushing back against these uncouth storytelling techniques will help young people sleep better at night knowing they spoke up, and also allow them to post vague social media stories about resisting hate,” offered Dr. Paula Konrad, dean of philosophy at WVU. “On the other hand, the lead-poisoned boomer brain is unable to be changed, so there is no real hope for teaching a lesson. Plus, your body bears the effects of added stress, and even if you’re right, you sound pretty annoying.”

As of press time, the Smilovic children are all seeking emancipation after their father said he matched with a “skinny depressed Asian babe” on eHarmony.

Go Ahead and Judge But I’m the Type of Guy to Hit It, Lovingly Raise the Resulting Child to Adulthood, and Quit It

Some guys play it nice, others play it cool. Some take their time with a girl, and others are downright old-fashioned. Me? I don’t waste any time on that dinner and movie shit. As soon as I meet a girl I just get in there, do my thing, and then completely set aside my needs and wants for decades as the resulting child blossoms into the adult I dreamt they’d become. Go ahead and call me a disgusting womanizer, but I love the ladies and the ladies love me. Well, maybe not as much as the kiddos do. But hey, can’t keep this dog on the porch!

Ever since I was a teenager I’ve been led around by my dick and the insatiable need to nurture a child. My tenth-grade girlfriend Debra is a good example. I played her like a fiddle and within days that math club president was eating for two. And you know what this unrepentant cockhound did next? I spent twenty years dutifully providing our son with a foundation for excellence in every aspect of life. I even became PTA president! Sure, I was impregnating other members but we got that new elementary school built, didn’t we?

Don’t take my word for it, hear it from some of this player’s past sexual conquests. Carrie, who took my bait one night at bar close will tell you that “Chris is just like every other douchey guy, doing whatever it takes to get you in bed. Yeah, he hung around for decades happily rushing over at a moment’s notice to assist with even the tiniest problems while building up a massive college fund for our daughter, but he’s still a prick.” Or Liz, who fell under my spell while in line at Domino’s: “It turned out that Chris was a sleazeball who cared about nothing but sexual gratification. Well, that and the gratification of being a perennial favorite for Father of the Year twenty years running. Creep.” Hey, don’t hate the player, hate the game!

My buddies say I gotta change, but fuck that, I’m a brazen philanderer and selfless father for life. Ain’t nothing wrong with leaving a trail of angry women and delighted children in my wake. I won’t apologize, and as soon as I’m done providing a storybook childhood for yet another kid, I’m fuckin’ out! See ya!

But sweetie, I’ll see you tomorrow when I take you and the rest of the soccer team to Six Flags. Love you!

Music News: Trip Hop Legend Confirms Debut Album

Beth Gibbons of Trip Hop legends Portishead has revealed plans to release her debut album, Lives Outgrown.

Gibbons took to Instagram to reveal their first solo LP after decades of performing with the British trip-hop Leviathans.

“As usual it reflects what’s been going on with me internally, my 50s have brought forward a new yet older horizon,” she revealed.

“It has been a time of farewells to family, friends and even to who I was before, the lyrics mirroring my anxieties and sleepless nighttime ruminations, hence ‘Lives Outgrown.’ Not just because of the way we travel through emotional or psychological transitions in our lives but relating more to the time we leave this planet and our motion into the unknown. Something I fear but just need to try and celebrate as a moment approaching, gifting the ability to grow beyond the restraints of this physical world.”

Beth Gibbons Solo Album

Gibbons added “The sound was also a process, exploring structures within my own personal capabilities. I wanted to draw away from breakbeats and snares, focusing on the woody fabric of timbres away from the sugary addiction of high frequencies that satisfy like sugar and salt.”

Unfortunately, we do not currently have an official date for the release of Lives Outgrown, but Gibbons did not on Insta that it would be “very soon.”

Death Metal Parents Put Son’s First Horrific Mutilated Corpse Drawing On Refrigerator

WRENTHAM, Mass. — Proud death metal fan parents Danica and Brandon Asheim were so excited about their five-year-old son’s first attempt at drawing a horrific image of a mutilated corpse that they hung it on their refrigerator, sources who cum blood confirmed.

“Our little Cerberus is really growing up and we’re so proud! He used to just draw boring poser shit like terrible A-frame houses, dogs, and kids playing outside all with stupid smiles on their faces. Like, even the sun would have a dumb smile!” said the proud mother. “But now he is starting to draw these vomit-inducing scenes of eviscerated dead bodies with exposed chest cavities, caved-in skulls, and blood-splattered walls. It’s so horrifically adorable!”

Cerberus’ father says it is no accident that his son’s nightmarish artistic abilities have started to develop so early.

“When my wife was pregnant I would blast Cannibal Corpse at her stomach constantly while little baby Cerberus would be in there kicking and punching like he was crowd killing some noobs,” said Mr. Asheim. “I would also spend quiet evenings at home reading out loud non-fiction books about serial killers. H. H. Holmes especially, that dude was fucking sick! I think all that pre-natal care we took is really starting to pay off.”

Child psychiatrist Dr. Allen West says that death metal children who are unable to produce drawings of blood-drenched human remains may be showing troubling signs.

“The unfortunate reality is if by the age of about seven the child of death metal parents can’t draw skinless corpses with flesh being torn from bones or, at the very least, red-hot daggers lodged into eye sockets with that goo from the inside of the eye dripping down the screaming victim’s face, then it is very possible the child may grow up to be a fake-ass poser who listens to something like Warrant or some shit,” said Dr. West. “We always give parents advice to up their children’s daily exposure to Obituary and Morbid Angel as well as showing them true crime documentaries and any movie by Eli Roth. Sometimes it works but some parents need to face the fact their children could become well-rounded productive members of society and listen to pop music or even worse rap-metal.”

At press time, The Asheims say they were contacted by his teacher saying he has been staring at the class guinea pig in a “very disturbing way” and that they were taking him out for ice cream to celebrate.

Music News: Major Record Label Pulling Songs From TikTok

Universal Music has confirmed that it will be pulling millions of songs off of TikTok following a breakdown in talks over payments with the social media company.

Writing an ‘open letter to the artist and songwriter community,’ Universal ripped into TikTok’s use of AI and how it could essentially drive more profits to the company rather than the individual artists who are currently going viral on there:

“On AI, TikTok is allowing the platform to be flooded with AI-generated recordings—as well as developing tools to enable, promote and encourage AI music creation on the platform itself – and then demanding a contractual right which would allow this content to massively dilute the royalty pool for human artists, in a move that is nothing short of sponsoring artist replacement by AI” the letter noted.

Music News: Universal Music Accuses TikTok of Bullying

The most incendiary element of the open letter saw Universal accuse TikTok of “bullying.”

“As our negotiations continued, TikTok attempted to bully us into accepting a deal worth less than the previous deal, far less than fair market value and not reflective of their exponential growth” the letter revealed.

“How did it try to intimidate us? By selectively removing the music of certain of our developing artists, while keeping on the platform our audience-driving global stars.”

This reminds me a lot of that time Fat Mike got told that No Use For a Name wouldn’t continue to get airplay on MTV unless they got Leave It Alone and he refused out of principle (see it all relates to punk dammit).
