- 0:00The couple enters the costume store, where conventional outfits meet packages representing everyday anxieties.
- 0:23A chronic-pain costume includes Advil and notes about male-centered clinical trials.
- 0:52Optimus Prime gets an unexpected counterpart: a tampon machine that only takes quarters.

- 2:40Another shopper introduces an expensive bridesmaid dress and points toward the wedding section.
A race car driver seems like a perfectly reasonable costume choice. Lilly Singh has something more unsettling in mind: a woman whose Uber is going off route.
In "Halloween Costume Shopping With My Boyfriend," Singh and Anwar Jibawi play a couple browsing very different versions of the same store. His conventional suggestions meet her increasingly pointed costume packages, including a woman with chronic pain and a tampon machine that still requires quarters. This is a staged comedy sketch, not a shopping vlog or a relationship announcement.
The joke lives in the packaging as much as the performances. The chronic-pain costume comes with Advil and male-centered clinical trial notes; another shopper arrives carrying a bridesmaid costume with an expensive dress. Apparently, there is an entire wedding section.
The sketch was the most-watched of Singh's four uploads this week, reaching roughly 313,000 views. Viewers are discussing the chronic-pain premise and remembering the after-school ritual of watching her older sketches. Several also recognize her familiar sign-off, a small connection to the Team Super years that doesn't require another office reunion.
The costume idea extends into "Halloween Costume Shopping w/ Boo 🎃" and "Halloween Costumes Inspired by Men's Behaviour #comedy." The latter currently has the strongest daily momentum among her uploads. "Why I Go to Therapy #comedy #shorts" rounds out the week's releases.
Across the channel, subscribers were unchanged over seven days, while daily views are below their usual pace. Among nearby sketch channels, Stromedy is drawing more daily views than usual; Singh's collaborator Anwar Jibawi is having a slower-than-usual day. Her earlier "My First Day Back at YouTube," with Jeenie Weenie and Alan Chikin Chow cameos, also continues gathering views, extending the comeback beyond its opening welcome.
