I have a Tin Tin in Africa shirt from France. That’s a 1920’s & 30’s cartoon character, in a pithe helmet, in a Fliver with his dog and a native guide.
Hm… I’ve got a number of fun ones, I guess. One of the fun ones that always makes people look twice is this one from www.t-shirtsthatsuck.com – it says “Crackwhore” in a parody of the Coca-Cola style logo lettering. I also got one from there that they don’t seem to have any more - just said “Slut” in glow-in-the-dark letters across the chest. It was white and I hate white t-shirts so I cut out the decoration part and safety-pin it to various black tank tops.
Other than that, I’ve got the previously mentioned “Dont make me get my flying monkeys!”, and “I’m not shy, I’m just examining my prey.” I’m also a huge fan of Happy Bunny and have a happy bunny tank that says “you suck and that’s sad” and a tee that says “i love boys they’re stupid”.
A site I like for funny but generally pretty offensive t-shirts is www.tshirthell.com (maybe NSFW, depends on your work…). If I had more money I’d have more interesting ones…
Okay, it’s not a t-shirt, and I saw it but didn’t purchase it (yet). But it’s a pair of women’s panties that says, "Well, it’s not going to lick itself!
Sheer genius.
I generally don’t wear shirts with writing on them.
Superman Forever. It’s about dead, and time to get a new one.
Several of you have mentioned making your own Ts. How do you do that? I’d love to be able to make my own. Feel free to start another thread with a link here if you don’t want to hijack this one.
<coughs nervously>
I don’t get it…
Best T-shirt I saw was a plain grey one with BEEN THERE on the front and DONE THAT on the back …
One’s my friends have:
I’m thirsty. You’re 70% water. Run.
Keep mordor tidy! [glyph of stylised man throwing ring into crack in ground]
I’m reminded of a bit from the onion. “And his clothes! So uncool. He might as well have been wearing a T-shirt saying ‘certified dork’. Wait… no, actually that’d have been much cooler than what he was wearing.”

THE MAN
THE LEGEND

I have (or had) a few classics:
-I have some relatives from the former Soviet Union, and shortly after the fall of communism, they brought me an authentic fall-of-communism T-shirt, which is covered with Cyrillic writing which presumably says something like “Fall of Communism. 1990” or what have you
-For many years I had a T-shirt dating back to the 1988 presidential campaign that said “Where Was George?” in large letters. Sadly, I left it in a motel last year
-I’m known to be a bit arrogant, so one of my friends me a shirt with a cartoon, the text of which is “This is your brain. This is my brain. Any questions?” (I leave the illustrations as an exercise to the reader)
-My specialest and coolest T-shirt, however, is one made by the 1994 or so senior class of Bryn Mawr College. It says “Bryn Mawr College – 1877 - 1994 – 117 years of women coming together”
My coolest T-shirt is the “Mr. Sparkle” box, from the episode of The Simpsons where Homer’s face appears in a very stylized, manga-esque way on a box of Japanese detergent. He has giant anime eyes and a toothy smile, and the box is full of Japanese kanji and bright colors on a blue T-shirt.
I also have black T-shirts of Voltron (with the five pilots’ faces) and Transformers (with the Autobot symbol embossed in black rubber), but I rarely wear them because black T-shirts are so hot in South Florida. Then I have T-shirts of the Superman logo (on blue), the Flash logo (on red), and the Green Lantern logo (on green), but these are fading from years of heavy use.
Maybe my FAVORITE T-shirt was bought at a convenience store/gas station/butcher shop in New Orleans called Wagner’s Meat. The shirt is red, and white letters say “YOU CAN’T BEAT WAGNER’S MEAT.” I always get comments on this shirt!
without a doubt, my I (heart) NERDS tee.
My current favorite is from Jinxed in Philadelphia. It features a bloody hammer with the phrase “She was asking for it”
My previous favorite showed a centipede getting amorous with a crinkle-cut french fry. A word balloon coming from the french fry said “Knock it off *sshole. I’m a french fry!”
I have GOT to get a shirt like that.
Here are the ones I own & like best.

Mine is by the late B. Kliban, a cartoonist who wrote some very strange books, including Cat and Never Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head. Anyway, this shirt has 5 executives in suits and matching hats, all with briefcases, all crawling in line on all fours, each with his nose firmly planted between the butt cheeks of the executive in front of him.
The caption: Business On Parade
I have a t-shirt from bigwords.com that I found in a thrift store that says CORUSCANT on the front. Not surprisingly, not too many people know what it means. Got this shirtnbefore the Star Wars movie with a planet of the same name, but several people have asked me if it was a reference to that.
I used to have a t-shirt with Richard Nixon shaking Elvis’ hand with the word CULTURE written below them in red letters. Wonder what happened to it…
Funny story about me and this shirt. I became a little bitch for T-shirt Hell and actually created a banner for their website simulating this shirt. Deal is, you whore yourself out and create a killer advertising banner and get a free tshirt. The banner I created says, “There are two people F**king under this banner…” It’s animated and does a slow reveal and then a switch to "Just kidding believe in Jesus (www.Tshirthell.com).
The banner is here on this page, if you’d like to see it http://www.tshirthell.com/banners.htm . (It’s 13 th from the bottom of the page.) Definitely worth a look, they have the coolest and funniest banners on the net. They also have an affiliate program, so if you want one on your site and potentially make a few bucks, sign up.
I chose the tshirt from their site that says “By the time you read this, you’ve already read it.”. That used to be my coolest t-shirt, now I have this Tenacious D Sasquatch t-shirt and I would definitely have to say it’s the cool, cooler, coolest! JB and KG Rawwwk!!! If you go to the site you can also get a Tenacious D cumrag! Brilliant!
My coolest t-shirt: this Mars Society number, a gift from my wife.
I like the one that has a bunch of grapes on it and says, “Crush me. Whip me. Make me wine.”
Alias gave me a Cure t-shirt that I love. It’s from the Disintegration era - the front says “The Cure” and “Lullaby,” and the back has a drawing of a spiderish beast (with candystripe legs, naturally). She also made a shirt in art class that said “Look, sir. Droids.” I wonder what happened to it?
