Part 2/9:
The hosts kick off by highlighting a trend of costumes that toe the line of legality—names that mimic popular characters or concepts without infringing on trademarks. This clever loophole allows vendors to sell costumes bearing close resemblance to beloved characters but with altered names or slightly different designs, avoiding legal repercussions.
For instance, instead of "Wednesday Addams," you may find "Evil Midweek Cutie," or "Sexy Factory Worker" instead of a straightforward nurse or worker outfit. These playful rebrandings showcase how vendors creatively navigate intellectual property laws while offering costumes that tickle the funny bone and spark curiosity.
