Pacman on Twitter Shirt from Lola Camisetas

Published February 18, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Pop Culture T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (1)

God damn this shirt is brilliant! I never would have thought of this shirt, which I suppose is why I write about shirts rather than make them (although that might change soon!). The ghosts are just following Pacman everywhere–now he can’t even get his social networking on without them breathing down his neck.

I’m trying to decide if the shirt would come off better if they used the actual Twitter design (for the ghosts following). I’d have to see the two side by side to make the call. That being said, I still like how they implemented it. Witty concept + good design=successful shirt in Colin’s opinion.

You can pick this one up for €16.95. Yeah, that’s right, you unfortunately have to deal with the brutality of a horrible exchange rate. I’d say it’s worth the money though.

I Move Bricks Like Tetris Shirt from Embrace the Culture

Published February 15, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts Type Tees. Comments (0)

I have a friend who plays a good deal of Tetris (yeah, I’m looking at you, Sefton), which fits half of this shirt. I don’t think, however, that he deals a lot of cocaine. I like the slogan, even though I’m not a cocaine mover myself. It’s pretty witty in my opinion. Plus, if you play Tetris and move a lot of cocaine (or even just the cocaine part) this shirt is super appropriate.

I like the combination the block’iness of the text with the actual Tetris blocks too. It looks cool.

If you wanna pick up the shirt it’ll cost you $24.95 at their store. The design appears to be printed on American Apparel.

Elvis Meets Vader from Headline Shirts

Published February 8, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Political T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts. Comments (0)

So…this shirt is amazing. If you don’t know, this is based on a (famous?) picture of Nixon and Elvis shaking hands (see the original below), only with Nixon replaced with Darth Vader. Obviously, given how Nixon’s presidency turned out, the substitution is pretty hilarious. I like that it works on two levels–first, it’s funny for people who don’t know the original picture because it’s, well, Elvis and Darth Vader shaking hands. But for those who do know the picture, it’s even more humorous, as well as pretty dang political (if you want it to be).

I think this is one of my favorite Headline Shirts designs (and I like a lot of their shirts, so that actually means something). If you want this sweetness on your chest, you can buy it for $20.00 on American Apparel at their store. I also think the coupon I had for them is still working if you wanna check that out. I hope you enjoyed! Oh, read their product descriptions while you’re at the site–they’re often hilarious, and you’re missing out if you skip them.

The Cartridge from ReThink Clothing–Nintendo Shirt

Published February 5, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts Video Game T-Shirts. Comments (0)

I have to be honest, growing up I was totally a Playstation 1 kid (and then XBox, and then no video games), but…that doesn’t mean I can’t dig this new shirt from ReThink Clothing. It’s a simple shirt–just a one color rendering of a Nintendo cartridge. I think it looks great though. It’s kinda nerdy, but not weird nerdy (sorry if that offends! I mean it in the most loving way).

If you want to show your love for Nintendo, you can snag this design for $16.99 at ReThink Clothing. It’s printed on American Apparel blanks (score!).

P.S. My roommates and I have a N64 hooked up to the TV in our basement, so Nintendo has finally become a part of my life.

History is Full of Dickholes Shirt from Amorphia Apparel

Published February 4, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Intelligent T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)

This shirt is layin’ some serious real talk on everyone who reads it. The more I study history, the more I realize there were a ton of dickholes throughout our past. Sad thing is we haven’t learned all that well from said dickholes (in most cases).

This shirt comes from Amorphia Apparel, which is one of my favorite companies for intelligent, yet quirky, shirts. You can pick this one up for $15.99+ at their store. I put the “+” part because they use Spreadshirt, so you’re allowed some degree of customization. $15.99 is the cheapest you can get it, but if you’re willing to pony up $22.99, you can have it on some of those super comfortable American Apparel shirts you always hear me talking about.

Rap Music Makes Me Feel Invincible Shirt from Print Liberation

Published January 28, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Music T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts Type Tees. Comments (0)

Celebrations! One of my favorite designs, Rap Music Makes Me Feel Invincible, is now back in stock. I’ve posted about this shirt before, but at that point it was out of stock (because everyone was buying it because it’s so awesome).

To reiterate my earlier post, I love this shirt because of the truth of this statement. I’m listening to rap (Kanye West-Power) while writing this post, and I’ve gotta level with you…I feel like a total badass. I’m gonna shower and then go tear the night up, because I’m invincibbbbblllllllleeeeeeeeeee.

Go pick it up at Print Liberation. You won’t regret your decision. If you’re having trouble getting the motivation to shell out $22.00, listen to some rap and then go make it rain.

Lastly, I’m hoping to get out to Print Liberation’s Northern Liberties, Philadelphia store soon (maybe even this weekend) so that will be cool. Maybe I’ll tell everyone a story about it.

Monster’s Brawl Shirt from Hamburger Disco

Published January 23, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)

I just got an email from a new t-shirt company based out of Vancouver, Canada. With their company, they wanted to celebrate two of their favorite things: hamburgers, and disco. From this information, maybe you can infer why they’ve named themselves Hamburger Disco.

Their style reminds me a lot of Johnny Cupcakes, but obviously with different subject matter. I chose this design, Monster’s Brawl, for my first post from them because I love all the goofy things that are going on in it. I dig all the monster illustrations, and while it’s obviously a very busy shirt, I think it looks great. It’s King Kong, Godzilla and more all wrapped into one.

If you share my sentiments, you can pick up the design for $30.00 from their store. If you also like Hamburgers and Disco, you should check out the rest of their designs too.

Blue Horde from 604 Republic–Zombie Smurfs

Published January 17, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)

Yo–zombie Smurfs are hilarious. Zombie Smurfs on a t-shirt are thus wearable hilarity, making this shirt another success from 604 Republic (the dudes who had that awesome Mario shirt).

I don’t know what happened in Smurfville (is that the proper nomenclature?) to cause such a tragic zombie outbreak, but things don’t look good for the survivors defending their mushroom house. They’re pretty well surrounded.

I think this shirt from 604 Republic is goofy and awesome, and if you agree with me you can pick it up for $19.95 from their store. You can also save 15% with a 604 Republic coupon–ain’t that dandy?

P.S. I’ve been told I look like Jake Gyllenhaal (aka Donnie Darko). So, if you want to see a funny Smurf conversation involving me, check out this clip from the movie.

I Spoon First Dates from People Like Me

Published January 8, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts Type Tees. Comments (1)

I dig this somewhat goofy, yet rather honest shirt from People Like Me! The world could use some more spooning, among a few other things. I’m not sure how it would play out on an actual first date, but I figure it’s worth a try. Maybe you’ll get some hot, steamy, spoon action.

You can pick this one up for $28.00 from People Like Me! Also, as they say in their product description…spooning can lead to forking (tehe (coy laugh)).

Rhino Hunter Tee from Sharp Shirter

I saw this shirt on Coty’s favorite shirts of 2010 list and I had to post it up here. It’s just super goofy, and I like that a lot. Green on purple looks cool, and maybe the rhino is getting a little Deer Hunter type revenge on poachers (so good for him!).

Sharp Shirter has a few quirky shirts like this; all of which come off well in my opinion. If you’re interested, you can pick it up for $22.00 at Sharp Shirter. It’s printed on American Apparel blanks.
