DO NOT approach a robot or a mime or a guy in a costume that the party promoter hired to liven things up. You will bomb. It’s like the Bermuda Triangle of riffing and, once you’re in it, the only way to get out is to physically assault the thing.
Guys who wear coats that touch the ground think they look like a heavy dude from The Matrix or some character from a comic book we’ve never heard of but they just look like some guy who’s really into The Matrix and some comic book we’ve never heard of.
