Show me your shirt and I will tell you who you are, they say. Or do they? Well, the point is that a good and well-timed shirt can be a perfect conversation starter, a cool statement, a pick-up line, a silence filler, a fun joke, and so on and so on.

And while we can argue for days about what is a good and a bad shirt, this Instagram account will do the job for us. Titled “Good Shirts,” the page covers it all–the bad and the ugly worlds of t-shirts–from ridiculously funny designs to weird slogans and crazy prints.

Scroll down for our newest selection below and be sure to check out our previous feature with more of the best and the worst of the “Good Shirts.”

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and so is taste in t-shirts. Some like them monochrome, others opt for colors, and some prefer slogans, others elaborate prints. The rest just like the price on sale, so they land a bargain.

But when you scroll through this collection of unusual shirts, you may wonder what exactly makes people wear such weird and ridiculous shirts. I mean, they surely weren’t forced to put them on. Is it a form of self-expression? An urge to stand out? An attempt to make a statement? A wish to be unique?

Trivia fact: on the show Finding Your Roots, Larry David and Bernie Sanders found out that they are actually related.

Laura Vanagaite, an international freelance graphic designer who specializes in branding and social media content creation, argues that it’s because of all of these reasons. “Some may wear them to express their unique personality or sense of humor, while others may wear them as a form of rebellion against societal norms. Additionally, some people may simply find the designs and slogans on the shirts visually appealing,” Laura said.

From a designer's point of view, Laura said, “a good shirt print should be visually striking, easily recognizable, and memorable. It should also be versatile and work well on a variety of shirt colors and styles.” She added that when creating a good t-shirt design, it's important to consider the audience and the message that the shirt is trying to convey.

Don't google it. Long story short, homophobic law regarding things that aren't anyone's business except the consenting adults involved.

We also asked Laura if such a thing as a “bad” t-shirt design exists and she confirmed that it's sometimes the case. “A bad design can fail to effectively communicate the intended message, be visually unappealing, or be offensive or inappropriate in some way. For example, a design that is poorly executed or difficult to understand can detract from the overall message or branding of the shirt.”

Another example of a poor design is one which contains offensive or derogatory language or images that can be harmful and disrespectful to certain groups of people. “It's important for designers to carefully consider their target audience and message, and ensure that their designs are well-executed, appropriate, and visually appealing,” Laura explained.

When it comes to trends in t-shirt designs, Laura said that trends in shirt prints and slogans come and go. Some of the most popular ones in recent years include retro designs, pop culture references, and humorous or motivational slogans, she said.

“Also, there has been a growing trend towards more socially conscious and politically charged messages on t-shirts. Ultimately, the trends in shirt design and slogans will always be influenced by current events and popular culture,” Laura concluded.

I own 3 staffies, and can confirm I get attacked every night. With Kisses and attention. IT'S THE OWNER NOT THE BREED. This breed has the potential to cause more damage than other breeds, I agree, but about 50 years ago, the most violent dog was actually the German Shepherd and they had such a bad name, until the police and other forces started using them, suddenly they are not violent.... To conclude, the Media is powerful and some dog owners are scum of the earth. Get your head out of your a*s Dickvandyke xx

What's the saying... if you have to explain a joke, it's not that funny.

I wonder if this references Martha who watched Jesus bringing Lazerus back from the dead? I hate that my birthday is the date though.

God's Drunkest Driver When someone, especially a drunk driver, takes it within themselves to do God's duty of cleaning up the sinners of this world. Through murder ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ me (god's drunkest driver) looking for sinners crossing the road without looking both ways

Let's hope it's just a joke. Although, this just gave me an idea for a dystopian story where people are legally mandated to wear these.

Can someone tell me what I'm missing? Should I understand this from a pop culture perspective, or am I just too slow, too early in the day?

Oh, God that hurts. It’s a serious atonement to wear that t-shirt in public, especially as doing so must be a constant reminder of guilt.

This is why I find tshirts with slogans offensive, tasteless and with that people would not wear them.
