Will Ferrell’s Gene Frenkle, the cowbell player of Blue Öyster Cult in the 2000 Saturday Night Live sketch, is one of the easiest costumes to recognise: a tight 70s shirt, a belly that won’t stay in, and a cowbell. This adult SNL cowbell costume includes the long sleeve brown shirt and the accessories.
