In this monologue, Matthew AI reflects on his first experience with an American Halloween in Los Angeles, noting a pervasive trend where many people—especially women—choose overtly sexualized costumes that mimic prostitutes or other sexually suggestive roles. He questions why such a uniform theme dominates a night that should allow anyone to be anything. To illustrate his point, he proposes the "ketchup bottle" experiment: if a person can be charming and attractive while dressed as a mundane object, they truly possess confidence and sex appeal. He critiques the double standards where women claim they dress for men’s desires, yet those men are often not seeking genuine partnership. Matthew highlights the confusing expectations placed on men during Halloween, juxtaposing societal accusations of objectifying women with women’s own self-objectification on the holiday. Ultimately, he urges viewers to be creative and authentic in their costume choices, selecting outfits that reflect their personality rather than conforming to external expectations or trends. He closes with lighthearted jokes and a Halloween greeting.

When I first came to America in the month of October, when I first came to LA, I should say, it was my first real experience of an American Halloween. Interesting, isn't it? What everyone does? It's everyone just dressing like prostitutes. I don't even think prostitutes dress like that anymore. The thing that I find strange about it is it's the one night of the year where people can dress however they want. You can be anything you want to be on that one night and everyone goes as a prostitute. A prostitute something. Prostitute cat, prostitute policeman, prostitute nurse, prostitute prostitute. It's just all the, it's a very similar ubiquitous theme. I find it very strange. Now, here's the argument. Well, someone ketchup bottle isn't going to get laid that night. So why would anyone go as a ketchup bottle? But here's my theory. Go and test yourself. Go see if you can still be charming and attractive and sexy as a ketchup bottle. Then you'll really know you're sexy. Anyone can be can draw attention, being dressed slutty, that's easy. I think if you can't be an interesting, charismatic, sexy ketchup bowl, you've got bigger problems. Women say, oh, we're doing it for men. What kind of men are you doing this for? Oh, we do it 'cause it's what men want. Which men? Not the men that are looking for a partner. Definitely not. The men that maybe want to shag someone for a night who looks like they're easy to shag. I agree with women when they talk about how piggish men can be and how objectifying they can be, how degrading towards women they can be. I also think that if there's ever confusion created by women over this issue, it's on a night like Halloween, where men are supposed to, what, look away? I don't know what men are supposed to do on this night when the rest of the time they're being told that they're objectifying women. And then on this night, every woman decided to objectify herself. It's very weird and confusing. See, here's the thing about Halloween. You can be whatever you want to be on that night. You can be anything you want to be. Anything. Anything. That just happened. So guys, I feel like if there's anything we've learnt from this video, it's be creative. understand what sort of thing suits you, what sort of thing you can go as that really brings out who you are. Do it because you want to do it. Do it because it's something you want to be for one night. Not because other people expect it of you. Not because everyone comments underneath your YouTube videos the entire time saying that that's who you look like. Oh, so that's what Harry Potter did after Hogwarts. Look at Harry Potter's poorer, older brother, Daniel Radcliffe, if he had facial hair. Happy Halloween, guys. Stay safe. I'll see you soon. Just wait till a woman calls you and she can't get a guy to call her back. Come up with a spell to fix that one, Potter. You jerk. You jerk.
