When it comes to Halloween costumes, some of them are good, some of them are bad, and some of them are utterly inspired. We all want to stand out from the crowd on this holiday when dressing up as something is acceptable.

But this year, it's looking as though we've all already been outdone by a tiny baby, who has the best Halloween costume ever. Yes, this week an 8-month-old boy from North Carolina has gone viral on social media; all because of the awesome costume his mom designed, based on the hit sitcom The Office.

Jillian Sheffield took to Instagram this week, to share a picture of her newborn son Jackwell. However, Jackwell wasn't exactly wearing the attire you'd expect from a boy his age. He was instead dressed in a short-sleeved yellow shirt, a tie, shorts, pants, and glasses, and with his hair styled into a centre-parting.

That's right! Jackwell was actually dressed as the character of Dwight Schrute, played by Rainn Wilson, and to be honest, the resemblance was uncanny. Jillian even captioned the post with a quote from Dwight himself, writing: "'All you need is love. false. the four basic human necessities are air, water, food, and shelter. [sic]'"

Check out this hilarious video showing all of Jim's pranks on Dwight in The Office: 

The picture managed to accrue over 1,000 likes in a few days on Instagram, and achieved even more likes, shares, and comments after Barstool Sports shared the picture on its Instagram page.

Jillian hasn't confirmed whether or not her little boy will be wearing this ensemble on October 31st, but she did tell a Los Angeles Fox affiliate that she and her spouse play dress Jackwell up in colourful costumes. Indeed, a cursory glance at his mother's Instagram shows that he's already been dressed as a lumberjack once before.

So there you have it: if you're looking for inspiration this Halloween, then look no further than young Jackwell Sheffield!
