The costume isn't optional. In Tyler Vitelli's "Types of People on Halloween", his parents insist that his teenage character wear a brown crayon outfit. Getting out of the house is only the first obstacle.
The real problem waits at the party: he needs a group of five to get in. The classmates dressed as the Scooby-Doo gang aren't offering a vacancy, so Tyler has to assemble his own rather less coordinated crew.
This is a staged comedy story, with Tyler playing the narrator, his parents and the assorted people complicating his night. Its eight Halloween archetypes become stops along the same increasingly awkward journey, rather than separate sketches.
An elaborate Peni Parker robot costume supplies a potential recruit. A vampire supplies another, although his insistence on performing trick-or-treat poems threatens to make the trip last forever. Then there's the house handing out hygiene supplies, where being recognized is considerably worse than receiving a toothbrush.
The full-size candy-bar house offers something more useful than chocolate: a crowd large enough to hide in. Even the kids taking an entire candy bowl become possible teammates.
The video has drawn about 1.6 million views in three days, an ordinary-sized audience for Tyler. The specific jokes are what viewers are discussing: the offer of an extra toothbrush, the giant skeleton and the inflatable costumes. Others suggest a missing category for his list: people who stay stubbornly in character.
