I’ll tell ya what’s “disturbing”: check out the way Holly’s reindeer is sniffing Les’ reindeer’s butt!
Why does Holly find Funky’s singing “disturbing”? It’s because she knows it’s one more manifestation of the Montoni’s Curse.
The premature aging has already taken its toll (look how young Tony and Funky looked in 2006)…
Then it’s on to the mangling of familiar, well-known song lyrics…
Naturally, Les is the only one who “gets” the concept of Owen’s costume. Takes one to know one, right? Be careful, “Ben Reilly”: Mr. Moore’s pet peeve about mixed metaphors is well documented. Anyway, if Blonde Sailor Girl despises Owen so much, why has she been following him around all day?
Halloween week plods along. Compared to Les, Jim the science guy looks rather distinguished. Seems the teachers are choosing costumes that reflect the subjects they teach; otherwise, Jim would make a far more convincing Mark Twain.
Snobby Mallory has traded her sailor outfit for a witch costume; she’s “pulling a Cher”, changing costumes for each class. I have to guess that the Elvis impersonator is our Cory, although I thought he’d be way too cool for “Halloween Dress-Up Day” (plus he hates wearing costumes). Filling out the rest of today’s cast, clockwise from top: the emperor Caligula, Dorothy from Kansas, and…a hippie scarecrow?
Even the bullies are nerds in Westview! In fact, they out-nerd the nerd they’re picking on: their costumes are much more authentic than Little Billy’s t-shirt attire. Weirdly enough, this is not the first time TB has referenced “Conan the Consensus Builder”:

Stop the presses: TB boldly name drops a real-life celebrity! Though he’s not so bold as to let us see “MeGagan’s” costume. She must be a babe, though: the mere thought of her in a meat dress is enough to send Cody’s eyebrows a-waggin’.
