[Intro music]
Barshens!
Hello, and welcome to Poor Man's Cosplay. Mmm.
Have you ever been in a situation where you're trying to get to a fancy dress party, or even an MCM comic con?
But you can't find an outfit. And you might have a budget!
A budget of literally exactly five pounds.
That is where Poor Man's Cosplay comes in, and today we're doing the film 'Back to the Future', Stormtroopers.
-No, we're doing Star Wars, and Stormtroopers were
-Yep, obviously Star Wars
-You genuinely haven't seen Star Wars?
-I haven't seen Star Wars. I do know what assume [something something]
We should actually, uh, sort that out.
-[vague explanation]
-I'm really looking forward to seeing your one in case
you have got them dressed as Marty McFly.
Yep! I've got the life preserver and all that!
[uncomfortable laughter]
It's all in hand, don't worry!
So yeah. Five pounds, I've used my Poundland skills
Well in fact, I spent less than four pounds fifty.
Oooh!
I cannot wait to see what you've done to it
[sigh] Hard cut!
[dramatic chord]
-Mr Eli Silverman, come on down!
-[clapping]
As you can see...
uhh, we'll just pop the hat on for the full effect there.
-That's a bucket.
-Yep, that's literally a white bucket.
[Ashens]: That was two pounds, just under
[Barry]: Yep
-That was the most expensive thing
[Ashens]: Poundland gun, one pound
[Ashens]: The bag of, uh, well, bins
[Ashens]: Pibble-bin liners that I got reduced! Cause they were slightly ripped. Didn't matter for this!
He hasn't got any eyeholes!
Uhh, you don't need em. Stormtroopers always miss anyway. There's no problem.
-And the pen, and
-Yep
-to draw on, that was fifty p.
[Ashens]: Uhh! You would know it's a stormtrooper, wouldn't you?
[Barry]: So you could go to a fancy dress party, and also at the end, you could rip off your outfit and then double up as a vomit bag!
-oor, something like that!
-That's exactly right, yeah!
-If they're violently ill
-Yep!
-as modeled there!
[Barry]: Well, I, to be honest mate, you've done really well there!
I don't know if I can trump this!
Well, since you've never seen Star Wars, I am, suddenly [laughing] quite pleased with this.
[sigh] Hard cut!
[dramatic music]
I did my best mate, I couldn't get a life preserver, but Paul, do you want to, come on in mate?
It's, uh, a bit last minute really, uh...
[sounds of clanking plastic armour]
I know there's some hardcore Back to the Future fans out there, and I couldn't get--
Five pounds, Barry, explain to us all how this cost five pounds.
Well, it's my mate Paul, he was kicking his heels about today, and I bought him a pint in the pub for like one pound fifty.
-What point is... [sighs]
-Five pounds!
[Ashens]: How--?
[Eli]: It's all right.
[Barry]: I tried to get a DeLorean, but the budget was too...
I mean what is this? That's like really high end stuff, as well, isn't it...
Well, there's a signature inside, I think it could be a Doc Brown signature...
[Ashens]: So it's what, like, cast from the bloody original molds that cost like thousands or something?
-I dunno.
-Well, it's not that good, he hasn't got a gun!
-Well, can we borrow yours?
-Yeah! We win by default--
There we go, see? He's got a gun now!
Anyways, me and Paul have got a squash court booked, so uh, we're gonna go have a game.
Come on Paul, let's go mate! Get that pint for you.
[sounds of grating plastic armour]
I thought I was gonna win something for once.
[Ashens]: It's not cool man, it's not fucking cool.
[upbeat outro music]
Subscribe or dieeee!
[awkward silence]
[Paul]: I think I'm sweating out my blood toxins.
[Ashens]: Well brilliant!
