Insults on Tshirts

[Seshat]

I own a sticker of the 'go away or I'll replace you with a really small shell script'. It went onto my computer case.

I don't like crudeness. I don't like gratuitous insult. I do find 'go away' witty, but because of the insult value, I chose the sticker rather than the t-shirt.

That said, I laughed when I saw a t-shirt saying 'if you are reading this, the first stage of my world domination plan is complete'.

That, I like.

I own a t-shirt that says 'Normal people scare me'. I'm usually in my scooter or a wheelchair when I'm out and about, so most people are free to interpret 'normal' as 'not disabled' and probably get a bit of a kick out of it.

I'd like an 'Evil Geniuses For A Better Tomorrow' t-shirt.

Threadless is having a big sale......

I may have to get some, although they're sold out of the Darth Vader clipping the Death Star arborvitae shirt

Talking about bumper stickers, I have one that reads "Don't make me roll for initiative". Only geeks would understand that. LOL

Husband has a t-shirt that reads: "You have the right to remain silent. Everything you can and will be used against you." It's his fave gaming t-shirt when he's DMing.

I like funny bumper stickers, like "Save the Whales...Collect the whole set!." The best though, was seen on the back of a Triumph at a local car show: "All parts falling off this vehicle are of the finest English workmanship"

I'll come right out and admit it; I can definitely be an immature ass at times. Those shirts that Maddox sells on his website? I've got most of them. I also picked up the "Please God, make everyone die. Amen" shirt from Dave Kelly's Purple Pussy comic (though mainly it was half for the "humor", half for supporting him after that debacle with Todd Goldsmith).

Anyway... yes, I find them funny. Some who I've talked to did so, likewise, and some have not shared my particular sense of humor. Thankfully, I've still a number of t-shirts that could be fairly more tasteful (well.. Happy Noodle Boy's probably not tasteful at all, but that's a different arguement). My favourite one so far?

"Frankie Say Relax" ^_^

I like the more obscure, wittier insults that don't seem to be such until you think about them. The crude, obvious and mostly unfunny ones that haunt every shirt kiosk in every mall in the US, no thanks.

That said, I laughed when I saw a t-shirt saying 'if you are reading this, the first stage of my world domination plan is complete'.

Ooh, I *want*

I had an old User Friendly T-shirt with a "Department of Clue Enforcement" Evil Genius In Training seal on the chest. The shirt has gone into the rag bin, the seal was carefully removed and is awaiting a new home.

Back in my late teens I had a very small badge ("button" in Amerispeak) that read "Okay, you found me. Now it's your turn to hide." Pointlessly but mildly insulting, and I loved it. The thing was, I bought it specifically to wear in the presence of a guy at school who shat me up the wall. I told my girlfriend at the time I bought it for someone specific, and she immediately guessed who.

I suspect that this xkcd strip sums up the feelings of many people on this thread. My favourite is "Maybe if this t-shirt is witty enough, someone will finally love me."

Immature and insulting tees are not funny. But I do admit to laughing out loud at some gems I've read on t-shirts. I also own quite a few. And there's just something funny about writing on a shirt; I suppose it's the passive element. For example, I wore a shirt that read "I used to have superhuman powers, but my therapist took them away" to an appointment with my therapist. Halfway through the session, he started laughing, and then promised he wouldn't take my powers away. Afterward, he brought me around to his colleagues' offices so they could get a kick out of it too. *shrug* I guess I'm trying to say that some of them are funny and some aren't. The funny ones are really funny, and the unfunny ones really aren't.

I have a T-shirt that says, "Those who think they know everything annoy those of us that do." I've gotten a few laughs with that.

I don't mind funny or mildly insulting T-shirts, as long as they aren't racist, sexist or vulgar.

[IDrinkaRum]

I have to admit I want the t-shirt that reads: "Where am I and why am I in this handbasket?" I just think it's amusing, and I joke with my mom about it all the time (that I'm going to go to heck).

[BlaqueKatt]

my husband's favorite shirt is one that says-"every day I think people can't get any stupider, every day I'm proven horribly wrong"

I like it
