Comicon 2013 cosplay catastrophe.
A CollegeHumor video that features the voice of Joss (fair bit of swearing to be had).

I love Steampunk Joss Whedon too.

I love it when people put a lot of effort into their costumes, but I very rarely recognize them. There's just too much out there, and very few of the sites that post pictures caption them so those of us who aren't into the comics/movies/anime/whatever can look up the originals to see how well they did with the costumes.
One little request: Please, people, for the love of Joss, if you're larger than your character dress appropriately!!! If you want to be Princess Leia, that's fine. Just please don't subject everyone around you to Muffin Top Slave Leia.

So instead of a ton of Boba Fetts, we get steam punk Boba Fett, 70's Boba Fett, female Boba Fett, medieval Boba Fett, etc. (I have personally seen all of those at SDCC)

Gotta disagree with this. People should wear whatever they want without regard for appearing as anyone else deems "appropriately" - as long as they're comfortable with it, one hopes.
Cos-players, while certainly keeping audience in mind, are expressing themselves creatively and illustrating their identification with a character. They are dressing to please themselves and shouldn't have to take anyone's muffin-top sensitivity into consideration.
I say, more big people dressing in smaller people's outfits - and vice versa! More people mixing it up. Gender-crossing! Muffin-tops for all!
Confound the expectations of the Size Guardians, and let your fancy flow.

Like wolfchild said, the primary humor was mixing two different sources that should never had gotten together (and not like chocolate and peanut butter). The secondary humor was how often these unlikely mash-ups were mistaken for other bizarre mixtures.
As much as I like having Joss in this cartoon, they messed up the punchline. Geoff should have referred to "steampunk Joss", only to be corrected that he is, in fact, cyborg Steamboy, with C3PO's arm (prequel version).
