Funny T-Shirts Don't Always Get Laughs

By Kenneth Cann


There has never been a time when you haven't been able to make your friends laugh. As far back as you can remember, you have always been the guy that your friends look to in order to fill the silences with a witty quip or a unique observation. It's no big deal, really. That's just the natural role you assume and you do it well. Now that you've discovered the world of funny tees online, you have definitely decided to get some to wear out with your friends. You get genuinely excited as the delivery truck draws near, you unwrap your funny t-shirts, and prepare yourself for an evening of hilarity.

Tonight is the night that you plan on getting some serious laughs. You have found one of the greatest funny tee shirts you have ever seen, bought it, and are currently wearing it across your chest like some sort of breastplate made of cotton and comedy. You are going to make your friends double over with laughter and strangers buy you booze...and let's not forget about how the girls are going to swarm all over you. What's a more perfect ice breaker than funny tees?

You open the door to the old pub with a flourish, stride in, and expect to be worshipped like a deity come to earth. That doesn't actually happen, so you decide to be patient and let the outrageous laughter happen organically. You see your friends, get the meet-and-greet of the night over with, and settle down for some good conversation...which you're certain will focus mainly on how funny your funny t-shirt is. A few drinks go by, and while you get a few laughs from your chums through conversation, people are still completely ignoring the comedy gold on your shirt.

As the night drags onward, you can't help but think about the lack of comments you've gotten. You have the best sense of humor in the whole room, so if anyone is going to be able to pick out the best funny t shirts, it's going to be you...right? What if you don't have the best sense of humor, though? What if you're not just being drunk and paranoid, and people are laughing at your weak attempts at bar room comedy behind your back?

Well, I wouldn't worry too much about your friends not appreciating your choice of funny tees. Funny t-shirts are completely subjective. There is no human connection between a shirt and a person, so the person observing the shirt is the one who must immerse themselves in the concept of the joke all alone. Humor is subjective, and what one person thinks is hilarious, another person may dismiss completely. You will always be funnier than the print on some t-shirt, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't keep buying them! You may get one that everyone connects to, so experiment and try to stick to humor that is grounded in the movies, music, and interests of those you most care about.
