If there’s one clothing item that tends to naturally pile up, it’s t-shirts. Chances are, you own at least a few (or maybe a few hundred — who are we to judge?) that represent something to you. There are your favorite ones like the perfect white tee or the shirt you got at your beloved band's concert. Then there are the commemorative ones you just happen to own from when you volunteered or ran a marathon 10 years ago. And then there’s a whole other category of tees that speaks to you and speaks for you in the funniest way possible.
Allow us to introduce you to an Instagram account called 'Good Shirts', a social media project that celebrates and pokes fun at photos of t-shirts with oddly-specific slogans. The creators of this page are out on a mission to feature some of the strangest and most hilarious articles of clothing found around the world, and they don’t hold back.
From "my tummy hurts and I’m mad at the government" to "your baby is worthless if it isn’t a DJ", our team at Bored Panda has scoured the page and wrapped up a hilarious compilation of pictures below for you to enjoy. So continue scrolling, hit upvote as you go, and let us know which shirts ring true to you in the comments! And if you’re interested in even more garment content, check out our earlier piece filled with weird and cursed shirts people actually wear right here.

I respect everyone until they give me cause to lose respect for them. So attraction isn't a problem.
Absolutely. And not just family members. All women deserve our respect.
Some days I'm supermodel hot. Other days I'm a "thumb". It's shocking how differently I'm treated by men depending on my hair, clothes and makeup.
And I think many, if not most, women have noticed this behavior.

I don't see the reason for it to be on the list of "Ridiculous shirts"

"Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that you're stupid and make bad decisions." I can relate to this version almost as much as the one above.
I'm waiting for my Slum Dog Millionaire moment where all this makes sense (and hopefully some money too!)
Nothing happens for a reason, we live in chaos and absurdity. The challenge is giving yourself a reason to keep trudging through and make it worth it.
No article of clothing can tell the world who and what you really are as quickly as a t-shirt. It’s the perfect combination of functionality and expression, even though sometimes things can get "lost in translation", as the founder of 'Good Shirts' writes in the account description.
Ever since they started this social media project in July 2019, they created the perfect outlet filled to the brim with bizarre shirt slogans solely for entertainment. "'Good Shirts' began as an Instagram account documenting the strange and fascinating shirts found in Hanoi, Vietnam," the creator revealed on their website.
I've sung these lyrics every time for years now but I end on "everybody's looking for stilton". Can never remember where I first heard it. I needs this shirt cheese is life
Ouch dude why are you disrespecting my lap cactus brethren
I once saw one that said, "I've met a lot of pricks but you're a whole cactus."
So many of my best shirts have come from goodwill 🤣 I'd know that tag anywhere
Basically a ‘prick’ is someone annoying in some way, and cactuses (the plant) are covered in pricks (although it’s the noun of something pointy like spikes ) so the shirt says I’m no cactus expert but I know a ‘prick’ when I see one.

"While living in Hanoi, I became obsessed with these strange shirts that bore corrupted versions of famous company logos, misjointed platitudes or complete nonsense text vomited all over a T-shirt. I sought them out at every marketplace like a thrifter searching for a hidden gem, though the gems I desired were not typically beautiful, but strange and rife with mistakes," they added. "Still, there was an accidental beauty to the shirts I found, something profound and hilarious-without-trying."
Then, their project started steadily amassing fans from far and wide and today has over 269K devoted followers eagerly waiting for the next hilarious shirt slogan to grace their feeds. "Over time, as the Instagram page grew and as submissions poured in from all across the world, the theme of the account began to change to a more all-encompassing fun T-shirt enthusiasm. Today, I post shirts that, accidentally or on purpose, make me laugh." And from the looks of it, they make everyone laugh as well.
Then its twice as sexy...even as a straight woman i know female form is way sexier
Load More Replies...Why do I have the 'Two and a Half Men' theme playing in my head now? Manly men men men, Manly men men men, Manly men men men, Manly men men men XD
Umm... sorry... I don't understand. Could someone please explain it to me?
No problem!! Since gay sex involves two males, is therefore technically "manlier" than straight sex for it only involves one male.
Load More Replies...This made me laugh, oh those poor judgemental men who read that, they are most likely very confused now XD
Yesss, I came here to comment it was close to a haiku, lol
Load More Replies...To titties, or not to titties... that is the question.
Load More Replies...Everyone knows that clothing is one of the best ways to express yourself. When it comes to t-shirts, they have served this purpose ever since they came into existence. Even in the middle ages, according to historian Maude Bass-Krueger who wrote the piece "Everything to know about the history of the T-shirt" in Vogue. The now unisex and all-purpose tee began its life as an undergarment worn by men: "Wearing a clean, laundered shirt showed off a gentleman’s wealth," the professor explained.
The shape of the shirt people wore in the old days — large pieces sewn into a "T" shape with long shirt tails tucked between the legs — underwent serious changes in the 19th century. With the rise of new technology, it was easier to mass-produce them into a more fitting shape. Although it was recommended to wear these knit-wool pieces of clothing as undershirts, "the British Royal Navy began allowing their sailors to wear these undershirts when working on deck" at the end of the century.
Please don't be creeped out if I follow you for about 3 blocks trying to read the entire thing...
I was at the gym once where this girl had this ridiculously long tattoo and I tried to read it. Despite me being a girl she still got really upset. Yes, clearly that was somehow my fault. I tried to finish reading while she huffed away from me. I think there was a spelling error. 😂😂
Then, the business skyrocketed in the early decades of the 20th century, and the t-shirt as we know it today came into our fashion lives. "As the T-shirt made its move from underwear to outerwear, the garment became a blank slate for messages, whether political, advertorial, graphic or humorous," Bass-Krueger explained.
"Technological advances in silk-screen printing in the early 1960s made it easy, fast and inexpensive to print designs onto shirts. By the 1970s, consumers could have personalized, custom-made T-shirts. Businesses soon realized the potential of T-shirts for marketing, as did bands and music management companies." Suddenly, the inexpensive garments could be seen on anyone, from musicians to actors to intellectuals. In fact, it has come such a long way in history that now "it’s hard to imagine any wardrobe without a T-shirt," the professor added.
Survived Cancer, brain aneurysm and working 12 1/2 years at Walmart.Yeah, I still got s**t to do.
Ok... This one has been the only one that's made me laugh. Everything about this pic is gold. The little hearts meeting in the middle branches, the creepy smile from the wearer and the look from the wife. LMAO!! Too much!!!
Six generations back. That means while they might have one common ancestor they have 35 uncommon ones.
For the past few decades, T-shirt sales have been booming in the multibillion-dollar clothing industry. It’s hardly surprising, considering that people always want something new and fresh to wear. So it looks like these days, any kind of design on text is possible. And due to advancements in technology, having the desired design printed on a piece of clothing has become much easier and faster than ever before. The custom t-shirt printing market is set to skyrocket by USD 1.50 billion, progressing at a compound annual growth rate of almost 7% from 2020 to 2025.
You cannot possibley have a BDSM experience with dogs. Their nature is not capable of it. What you need is "Beautiful Domineering cats Surrounding Me."

Load More Replies...Um, this is supposed to be a women's shirt; yet it's obviously a guy wearing it.
So many clothes are modelled by the wrong gender. It is actually hilarious what you can find
Load More Replies...I can definitely see myself buying this shirt for a girlfriend/wife someday.
This appears to be on a hat. I want to see someone wear this hat as a t-shirt. Since this is supposed to be pictures of t-shirts, after all. 🙃
Shirt also available, found it on Amazon. I think I know what everyone's getting for Christmas...
Load More Replies...T-shirts can tell us a lot about their owners. And as you’re scrolling through this list, you’ll notice they have plenty of things to say. What people wear lets others know about their kind of taste, mood, sense of humor, and lifestyle choices. However, purchasing a different t-shirt for every type of mood you get 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, is not the most conscious choice.
Did you ever think about how much water or material was used to make it? How much fuel was expended to ship it? Well, Sandra Roos, a Ph.D. student at Chalmers Institute of Technology in Sweden, did when she performed a comprehensive analysis to find out about the resources and tradeoffs that go into creating and selling fashion items.
In the report, which was published by the cross-disciplinary research program Mistra Future Fashion, she included costs of daily use, discarding or recycling a garment, and even the fuel to get to the store to buy the thing.
... Found the fellow cult member. Lol. All hail Jim Pickens.
Load More Replies...Hang on, hang on - is this shirt for the purpose of being woke and accepting and cool? OR is he one of those sleazy idiots that think sexual activity between women exists purely for his pleasure and would simply love a bisexual girlfriend just so he can get some threesome action?
Whatever he means with it, doesn't matter. Everyone else thinks their own ideas with that text, love it!
Why'd I get downvoted:( oh it’s a homophobe f#ck off
Load More Replies...I finally watched the movie "Gaslight" circa -1944 just a few days ago. Great movie. Definitely recommend.
I was about to say, this sounds like the plot of a good movie!
Load More Replies...I'm just happy to see the correct use of the word "you're" here.
whats gas lightning? other than lightning a lantern. I can think of what else this means
There's an old play called Gaslight about a woman who keeps hearing strange things and seeings the gaslights in her house get real dim and bright and back dim. Her husband tells her none of this is happening and begins to worry about her and tries to comfort her while sending for doctors to figure out what is wrong. She gets to the point that she's about to head for an insane asylum when she figures out it's been her husband and his mistress trying to convince her she's crazy so they can have the house to themselves. And so "gaslighting" has come to mean trying to convince someone that reality is fake, or fake stuff is real.

"You can have very environmentally friendly textiles that are organic carrots, and you can have very climate intensive garments that are more like meat."

Makes me concerned for what the dentist may have done while you were unconscious.
I'd be less afraid of going to dentist visits if they gave us these shirts
"You got a purdy mouth..." seriously, though, nice looking teeth.
According to her research, a T-shirt can use up to 120 liters of water per wear, and contributes 0.01 kilogram of carbon dioxide per wear, just from dyeing alone. "Everyone is talking about [how] you should wash [at] a low temperature," Roos added. "When we calculate how much the washing temperature actually did influence the climate, we saw that … it has less than 1 percent of the climate impact. But 22 percent came from the transport, to and from the store."
It looks like the alligator pooped... This might be a response to lactose if you're intolerant. So to me, it's a riff on the Lacoste brand and not Engrish
Aahahaha husband just pointed out, " Ha, IS IT SHTTING"...He has Lacoste shirts this is amazing..
I was going to say the same, but ketamine - over 20 yrs ago, one of the few I do NOT recommend.

"Most important, by far, is the number of times consumers wear a garment before throwing it out," she said. So the key takeaway is that when you set out to choose what witty shirt you’ll wear next, be conscious and choose them wisely. What are your thoughts about this?

Washes away bacteria, urinary tract infections after sex will stop. Just pee!!
Only for men, a woman doesn't pee out of her vagina so it won't be washing anything away.

Urine doesn't come out of the vagina tho. How can people not know this?

Load More Replies...warning to ye who enter the comments: it is literally just people attacking each other over religion :/
I appreciate the humor, but I always steer clear of religious stuff because people get offended.
With all the different religions and gods people believe in it makes me wonder if any of it is real. Everyone is entitled to their own biased opinions and beliefs. I for one believe in science and their facts but if you believe in God or Allah or whomever then good for you! Keep your faith going strong and don't let anyone make you feel inferior. If this comment gets under your skin then you have already let me get the best of you.
make-make-make-make them scream Make them scream, make them scream! *Sung like fergie*

You guys do know that the draft is still a thing, right? For all men 18-25 in the United States you have to register for the draft, only it's not called the draft anymore. If you have a drivers license you're already registered. It's now the "Selective Service System."
hmm almost like it’s not a free country and you can’t just leave.

is this why he’s always going to mexico with pants on? he likes that warm swampy feeling all up in there?
Yes, but "from" is incorrect before "whence" since "whence" means "from where."
i mean, if we're being technical here, he isn't "getting more" head because his head remains the same size & shape regardless of how much hair is on it, soooo... 😅

I have one in Chelsea Blue. Too bad it fits my younger brother more than me now. But we are both Balotelli at times so, yeah... XP
I took them after surgery with ibuprofen and had horrible swelling!
Load More Replies...Ironically this is one of those drugs where one of the side effects can make you be angry a lot. Had to stop taking them for my fibro because of that. Wasn't worth it for me.
I haven’t been taking mine lately. Long story. I thought I would feel like s**t. My Fibro is very prevalent but I do agree the drugs make it worse.
Load More Replies...Ah the old type of painkiller, makes angry cat high and drowsy, it's amazing

This feels like it should have a picture of a minion on it somewhere.

As an introvert that loves these shirts but does not care for people walking up to me to discuss said shirt(s), it is a bit of an issue. I choose to wear anime/gaming ones and they talk to me anyway, lol.
People try to talk to me the most when the phrasing of my shirt identifies me as anti-social or just directly says anti-social it's so annoying.
Load More Replies...I saw a shirt, I believe it was here on BP, it read: Legalise Mother and Son marriage Kinda gross
I think I'll just keep my plain white t-shirt. Boring is ok on me. It suits me perfectly
I pretty much only wear novelty shirts because my job let's me and since the pandemic, I have lost my mind. These seem to be more mean spirited than the ones I lean towards. The one that gets the best response is also the simplest: BE KIND. I try to be a better person when I wear that. God knows I don't want to be caught being a jerk wearing the shirt and have it go viral.
I have a shirt that says, "MY PEOPLE SKILLS ARE FINE. IT'S MY TOLERANCE TO IDIOTS THAT NEEDS WORK."
This is what happens when people think that a funny meme would make for a funny shirt. Don't try to combine them. They're two different forms of expression.
My favorite all time T-shirtwas worn by a guy in a local Pride parade. It said : "That's MISTER F****t to you!"
Nick kulesa you're truly embarrassing yourself now. In no way shape or form does EVERY religion say you will go to "hell" of you don't believe in their "God/s". You really should educate yourself before trying to bully and belittle people, especially by claiming both intellectual & moral superiority over them. Just because you've read a Richard Dawkins book doesn't make you any type of expert, and the more you speak the more idiotic you're proving yourself to be.
Am I missing something, there were maybe 2 that were religious?
