Jurassic World's real legacy: the inflatable T-rex costume

Jurassic World is one of the most successful movies in history, but what did it contribute to popular culture? You could make a case for Chris Pratt&#;s pithy one-liners and Bryce Dallas Howard&#;s superhuman sprint in heels as moments that nudged the industry yardsticks a few feet backwards. Or you might praise the &#;Indominus rex,&#; a movie monster that looks like the Tyrannosaurus rex version of a teen who&#;s just discovered eyeliner, the Vans Warped Tour, and the Wikipedia page for &#;anarchy.&#;

I believe the most important cultural artifact of Jurassic World wasn&#;t even in the film. I believe it was and still is this T-rex costume.

The inflatable suit is made by Rubies Costume Company, the world&#;s biggest costume creator. It comes in both child and adult sizes for max goof potential, and oh, what potential there is. The GIF, above, is taken from a video shared on YouTube by Gascon Horsemanship back in February. Gascon Horsemanship has many neat horse videos to share, including someone riding in a Minions costume. T-rex on a horse is, obviously, the page&#;s masterpiece. Set to the tune of the Jurassic Park theme song, the video is a testament to the power of dumb costumes in everyday situations. I laughed so hard I cried. I laughed so hard that I swallowed my gum, started to choke, and fatalistically wondered if would literally kill me.

It didn&#;t and I&#;m glad &#; because there are even more T-rex videos to be found online. I couldn&#;t tell you the basic plot of Jurassic World, but I can rattle off my favorite T-rex costumed stunts since the movie&#;s release last year. Have you seen the T-rex who dominated American Ninja Warrior? What about this one, who just wants to make it as a ballet dancer? Maybe pole dances, slapfights, or hoverboard riding are what you prefer?

Look, I&#;m not saying Jurassic World was bad or anything. But be honest, which brings you more joy: Chris Pratt riding a motorcycle with a squad of velociraptors, or this T-rex riding a dirt bike?

I thought so.
