Why Funny T-Shirts Will Never Be As Funny A Spoken Joke

By Matt 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 t-shirts 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.

The time comes for everyone to meet at the local watering hole for drinks and companionship, so you throw on one of these new funny t-shirts and head down for a night of drinks and good times. You are in a great mood, because you know you're going to have an awesome time and you know you are going to get lots of laughs from this great t-shirt you picked out. You might even get some conversation started with that girl you've had your eye on for the last few weeks, and who knows what might happen then?

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-shirts are. 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?

Quit being a paranoid drunkard and relax! When you say something witty in response to something that happens in the moment, it is always going to be more hilarious than any of the funny t-shirts you'll ever find. When it comes to funny t-shirts, you're dealing with the completely subjective. You might be the only person in the whole room that connects with a particular funny shirt, and that's okay. Never buy a shirt because you think someone else will love it. You should buy your funny t-shirts because YOU love them. If you keep that in mind, you'll never be disappointed by the reactions of your friends again.
