Jurassic World's Inflatable T-Rex Costume Goes Viral

By Shrey Sankalp

Ever since Steven Spielberg presented us with his magnum opus Jurassic Park, we have had quite an obsession with dinosaurs rivaled only by that of an archaeologist, and the increasing interest in dinosaur costumes in the last few years simply confirms that.
Doesn't matter which dinosaur costume it is - it could an inflatable T-Rex costume, a full-body raptor suit, or just about anything in between. As long as it's a dinosaur costume, you can be sure we'll lap it up.

Of course, this affinity for dinosaur costumes found resurgence only after 2015's Jurassic World, but between that film and its sequel due next year, it's hardly a surprise that more and more dinosaur costumes are finding loving, caring homes.
The interesting is how in 2017 we have seemed to reach peak Dino.
It is not uncommon for a particular kind of costume to sell more leading up to its franchise's next installment's release, but this isn't one of those times.

In the last few months, an inflatable T-Rex costume challenge of sorts seems to have gone viral, and dear God is the internet obsessed with it.
The basic premise of this "challenge" is absurdly simple - do any task, from the most mundane to the most insane in the most over the top manner possible while wearing a Jurassic World Inflatable T-Rex Costume.
And because this challenge does not have any hard and fast rules associated with it like some of the others (well, aside from having the inflatable T-Rex costume being mandatory - it wouldn't really be an Inflatable T-Rex Costume Challenge without it, would it?), people are free to let their imaginations run wild.

And hey, when you let people express themselves the way they want to, the results are never anything less than glorious. Since the inflatable t-rex costume was introduced, there has been a barrage of videos of people doing one insanely laughable thing after the other while wearing the hallowed costume.
Taking part in mobility oriented game shows in a limited mobility costume, BMX-ing or breaking out your Jagger-like moves with a skateboard wearing an inflatable T-Rex costume are all fun activities, but they're all already fun activities just getting a dash of a funny costume.
The real beauty is when people get down to more mundane tasks with a kind of theatricality that only a dinosaur costume brings.
Whether it is shoveling snow, getting the week's groceries, walking your dog or even just getting the morning paper - you do it in an inflatable T-Rex costume and see how fun it is!
And as some of our highly creatively inclined brethren have demonstrated, when you put in the time and effort to launch a coordinated prank, or even a La La Land style musical number in broad daylight, the results are uproarious.

Wonder Costumes is in line with the times as always and has a very healthy stock of officially licensed Jurassic World Inflatable T-Rex costumes to supply everyone who comes looking to play their part in this cultural phenomenon.
But wait, that's not all!
We have a surprise for you, one that will most definitely put a smile on your face.
Enamored by the potential of this viral challenge, we have decided to out-viral the viral with something truly for the books:
An inflatable costume face-off!

Everyone loves inflatable costumes, and everyone loves face-offs, so we're combining the two as we add our entry to the list of epic events during the Inflatable T-Rex Costume Challenge.
We're pitting the Inflatable T-Rex Costume against one of our inflatable costume stalwarts, the Sumo Inflatable Costume in a fight for the ages, one that will make the ones between Batman and Superman and Captain America and Iron Man look like petty playground squabbles.
Who will win? How will it go down?
Oh, dear reader, there's only one way to find out!

So what is it about this seemingly simple challenge that seems to have caught our fancy the way it has? The answer is not all that difficult, frankly.
It appeals to our most basic instinct: our desire to just have fun.
Who doesn't want a brief respite from the day to day machinations of life and just let their hair down for a moment and do something gloriously silly?
The Inflatable T-Rex Costume Challenge does precisely that, and when was that ever a bad thing?

The Officially Licensed Jurassic World Inflatable T-Rex Costume and the Inflatable Sumo Costume are both available at Wonder Costumes for you to let your creativity run riot with.
Hurry and grab them while stocks last.
