30 Unhinged T-Shirts That People Just Had To Take A Pic Of, As Shared On This Instagram Page
It’s not just professional stand-up, silly signs, and inconveniently placed banana peels that have the power to make us laugh till we cry. Simply putting on an odd shirt can make passers-by do a double-take and start giggling uncontrollably, with utter confusion written plain on their faces.
The ‘Chaotic Shirts’ Instagram account is a social media project that shares some of the weirdest and most hilarious shirt designs ever to be created. Some of the phrases on them are beyond bizarre and make you wonder what would ever make anyone buy something like that. We’ve collected the best (worst?) shirt pics to share with you, so scroll down to see just how strange things can get.

Oh I feel this t shirt so much and I don't work anymore, the memories are ellish.
I'd love to find a link to something of an origin for this shirt, but it's such a...copied design that you can get it from anywhere, from anyone. So just search "I just can't shirt" and go get you one, because I just can't.
At the time of writing, the ‘Chaotic Shirts’ page had 62.2k followers on Instagram. The founder of the project also runs an online store where they sell shirts with peculiar phrases on them.
The entire point of the account is to make the internet laugh by showing everyone just how deep the rabbit hole goes when it comes to nonsensical shirt designs. And there’s a lot of laughter to be had here.
I can assure you they were and the kicks were as fast as lightning, also can confirm it was a little frightening!
Were they and Shirley talking about Kung Fu fighting for some reason?
That’s totally what Jack Black would say. Highly suspicious.

Many many times. Sometimes I made it all the way to the parking lot and didn't come because I saw too many cars, even.
It's not anxiety. Most everyone is just s****y. Do your thing and go home.
Sturgeon’s law tells us that 90% of everything created is going to be low quality (to put it politely), but these shirts are so bad, that they’re genuinely quite entertaining.
You start wondering whether the designers were self-aware and in on the joke or if they honestly thought their designs were something original and powerful. Whatever the case, it takes a lot of courage to wear some of these clothes. Like it or not, people are social animals, and most of us don’t want to be talked about behind our backs by complete strangers.

I tire of the ad "I'm 60 years old and have $2.5 million to retire. Should I?" The typical lifetime gross income range for American males is $1.13 million to $3.05 million, and $510,000 to $1.86 million for women. I'm 50. I'll take 1 mil.
I'll call you by what I see. After that, it's your problem. Respect will be given regardless.
Beauty might be in the eye of the beholder, but we feel that most beholders would agree that some things are objectively good and bad when it comes to design. Similarly, though someone might enjoy all the different flavors of chaos (in shirt form) featured in this list, it doesn’t mean that all designs are equal. They’re not!
This man looks like the offspring of Lin-Manuel Miranda and Javier Bardem.
I REALLY hate that there's nothing technically wrong with that grammar.
you don't think that you're the man. therefore i not am
I can't stand that quote. I don't want to "handle" you. I prefer an adult relationship, not have to deal with tantrums.
Load More Replies...If you can't handle me at my worst, at least you can leave. I'm stuck with me.
Not stupid but it is "if you can't handle me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best"
Load More Replies...You might not know which designs will be successful and net you a profit until you put them out there, but it’s usually clear which designers put in genuine effort and which ones are pumping out whatever. And customers can often intuitively tell what good design looks like (even if they might not know exactly what makes good design, well, good).
If you’re making a shirt with some sort of phrase or meme on it, you have to think about how fluently you’re transmitting the message.
Love the shiner just think what living hell you're in store for once that iron door slams behind you
We shall title this rhyming poem, "Life After 30" XD
Load More Replies...Uhhh based on the comments, does no one realize this is a play on the song…?
Oh, I do. I've never forgotten hearing that song at the lovely age of 10.
Load More Replies...Competent designers will consider things like the colors of the shirt and the words, the font and its size, the kerning (i.e. the spaces between the different characters), and what images they should (not) use. If the font’s too swirly/small/haphazard, nobody will be able to read your message. Similarly, if the colors don’t work together well, your shirt will have lost some of the impact that you hoped it would have. For instance, you may want to avoid plopping white words on a pale yellow background.
I have a smile shirt I wish it still fit, it says "Smile, its the second best thing you can do with your mouth"
I've been doing that since birth, and I'm adopted, she CHOSE me and got disappointed XD
I have two new teenage additions to my home, but I'm sure that I can squeeze you in. 'Round here we're a disappointment-free zone.
Load More Replies..."I HATE DUMPLINGS" would describe my romantic history perfectly if you just removed the "L".
but..i hate dumplings.. ill get downvoted but meh i hate dumpling but i love u bro
Nobody’s saying that you have to aim for ‘perfection’ with a simple T-shirt here, but your potential customers deserve your care, effort, and attention to detail. Proofreading your text and getting a second (and third!) person’s thoughts on your design before printing them can work wonders. You don't want to have sent a design for printing only to realize that it's full of glaringly obvious typos.

Florida is where the Ten Plagues of Egypt went when they retired.

If you go to jail in Bridgeport you better know you Con-etiquette.
Load More Replies...Aside from all the stylistic choices, you then have to consider what to actually write on the shirt. If you’re going for something witty, you could take the safest route, dad jokes, and go for some universally beloved (and bemoaned) corny and punny humor. Or you could go all out with random phrases, dark humor, and inside jokes. But whatever you do, make sure that your phrases are as brief and clear as possible—otherwise, your joke might lose its sting.
This is a genuine question; why do those packets exist? What purpose do they serve? Just curious!
I'm pretty sure that they absorb water, so they stop moisture from damaging food and commercial products
Load More Replies...This is the perfect shirt for the self proclaimed alpha f***s. They also have the effect of eliminating moisture.
I have that t-shirt, sweatshirt and pj bottoms lol
Load More Replies...I know too many novelists for my own good so I can secondhand attest you're gonna end up there anyway
I want to end up in the novel. Can i please be in it pretty please?
In your novel what? I need more information before I risk being carefree.
A while ago, comedy writer and author Ariane Sherine shared her thoughts on how to make hilarious shirts.
"They say 'brevity is the soul of wit' and they're right. Keep phrases short and snappy—the punchier and simpler, the better," the humor expert told Bored Panda during an interview. "But make sure you've included enough information for the joke to land.”
no good music - no good dance moves. good music - no good dance moves
No good music - I do not dance good. Good music - I do not dance good.
The comedy writer noted that limits (i.e. like the physical size of the shirt) can work to a comedian’s advantage and stops them from writing too much.
“Remember, with T-shirts, people generally have limited time to read them (for instance, if the person wearing the T-shirt is walking down the road) so the phrase needs to be short and have impact quickly," she said.
"Clean T-shirts shouldn't embarrass or offend anyone. Risque T-shirts might, so the ruder the T-shirt, the funnier the joke has to be to make up for it," she said.
In France, we eat "pain" for breakfast. 🤔 Actually, most of what we eat in France somehow revolves around le pain.
Unless it's gut rot an hour later. Then the pain will come from your coworkers closest to the bathroom
With your breakfast existence will be much more painful or maybe existence can end quickly?
If you're asking about the "meaning" of this one, it's... I'm guessing... since "girlboss" is supposed to mean a Strong Independent Woman Who Don't Need A Man™, she's saying that even Strong Independent Women™ need gentle, tender kisses on the forehead sometimes because even girlbosses have a tender side? XD I dunno.
Load More Replies...Everyone needs a forehead kiss from time to time. Don't read too much into it, it's on a t-shirt.
Maybe from her mom, but otherwise no, she doesn’t. That’s why she’s such a boss in the first place.
My two favorite are not on the list: "Auntie Em: hate you, hate Kansas, took the dog. Love, Dorothy.". (please no hate messages. The Wizard Of Oz is my favorite Film!!) "Some people are alive today simple because I don't want to go to jail!!"
Feel free to share your thoughts and opinions in the comment section at the bottom of the article, Pandas. We'd love to hear which of these shirts confused you the most and which ones got a genuine giggle outta you. Were there any designs that you'd actually wear in public? We have a few favorites in mind, too.
And a cup of covfefe to wash it down with? (If you know, you know.)
Load More Replies...They don't. Hence, you're not their real Dad.
Load More Replies...At least if it's on the back of the t-shirt, you have a chance to run away. But I do hope it is on both sides, so you can just avoid the twat.
I need one of my old t-shirts back "I ran into my ex boyfriend the other day, so I put it in reverse and hit him again"
Darla is that you? You still mad I slept with your sister?
Load More Replies...My favorite shirt I own says "You can go to hell, I'm going to TOYOTATHON" and i love it so dearly
As a Michigan fan, my favorite shirt I own has the geographical outline of the US except Ohio is missing. At the top it says "A more perfect Union." Best shirt ever. Go blue.
Two old favorites 1: I don't know; I don't care....2: behold fartacus!!
Two t-shirts I wish I still had, One said" Join the Air Force, Travel to distant, exotic countries. Meet new and interesting people. And kill them". The other looked like a rock concert t-shirt only it was for the Adolf Hitler World Tour. That was was truly offensive. I loved it.
I want one for bicycles that says: If you have a license, registration and insurance I'll shar the road.
