Let's face it, the Distracted Boyfriend meme is probably the funniest and most useful meme for a quick bit of banter out there right now.
This work of internet geniuses has only been around since the start of 2017 but feels like it has been there forever. Here's just how much LADbible are fans of the Distracted Boyfriend meme:

But why do that when you can share the same costume with two other people for the combined price of three pieces of paper?
