The last one refilling detergent is a parody of The Milkmaid by Johannes Vermeer; everyone has seen it on textbooks and it has become a meme template on Japanese Twitter in recent years.
Some of these are very humorous because of the cultural disconnect (as an American, I have never experienced somebody asking to put their seat back).
"An expert on a very niche subject" made me laugh out loud the hardest, because it's the one that's most "just a guy", and yet it's also exactly how it's described.
Maybe this is a different type of mundane costume, but I like costumes that just look like guys. When the anime initial D was popular, I would wear a white T, blue jeans, part my hair down the middle and say I'm cosplaying as Takumi Fujiwara...
I saw video of a costume contest this year where one participant was wearing an Amazon delivery driver vest, flung a cardboard box across the stage and then took a picture of it (all to wild applause).
It's San Francisco, there's a lot of immigration, cultural influence, etc. whereas say Australia has outsize Vietnamese, Indonesian influence; or India in the UK.

These are masterpieces in my opinion. It’s difficult to get the vibe exactly right when you’re working with so little.
Yes, a thousand times yes you can put your seat back you gentle soul.
The Japanese seem particularly adept at the concept of "vibe".
They are more like "situational haikus", or the transposition to practical humor of the concept of haiku.

What you're doing wrong is not ordering a premade suit from amazon, then chucking it in the bin or a charity shop at the end of the day. /s
Love how long each consume caption is. It could just be called Halloween costumes that take many words to explain.
These are great. First 3 are brilliant. The second one is golden, I wish I had thought of that.

Japanese culture has been fascinating to westerners since I dunno … the discovery of Japan
If I may gingerly throw a stone within my glass house, your username checks out.
Yup.
You don’t see this kind of post rise for any other culture.
