I remember when Threadless was cool.

about Quack Attack

I enjoyed Threadless products more when they were churning out comedy-based shirts every week. Anyone remember when that was happening?

You know, one week "Haikus are easy, but..." comes out, the next week, they've got "Planetary Status." Now, each batch brings with it 3 or 4 shirts which have designs that make little to no sense to anyone, but the person who designed it. This shirt is the closest one to that state of glory that's been released in a while. I declare a state of lame, highest caliber, that requires immediate remedy.

I remember when you weren't alive

lol

cliffdogg on Aug 20 '07 at 3:00pm

lol x2

shirtflirt on Aug 20 '07 at 3:00pm

they should forego all nicely designed shirts

for pun infested cotton walls of lameness no doubt

sectionbb on Aug 20 '07 at 3:17pm

LOL - Castle

"I remember when" statements are best left to the old folks.

Lest you call us whippersnappers, then I will cry "Havock" and let slip the dogs of war.

And to ruin a recent tee quote.

"I like threadless shirts that don't even exist yet"

The Astronomist on Aug 20 '07 at 3:29pm

so true. totally agree.

ltdan1504 on Aug 20 '07 at 3:30pm

i kinda agree

Torakamikaze on Aug 20 '07 at 3:31pm

Yeah, Threadless got slightly less cool on October 11, 2006

ello_supasessy89 on Aug 20 '07 at 3:33pm

ouch...

bananza on Aug 20 '07 at 3:33pm

lol @ Castle and Tora

The Wee Straggler on Aug 20 '07 at 3:40pm

Castle FTW indeed.

I'm surprised he would chose this shirt to single out. This is one of the more accessible new prints we've seen in a while, and it's well executed. I gave it a five even though It's not really my style.

fatheed on Aug 20 '07 at 3:40pm

Your tastes will change when your balls drop

wotto on Aug 20 '07 at 3:41pm

or when that hat falls off.

tooscoops on Aug 20 '07 at 4:15pm

oh be nice! ha! though there are some funny comments there...

i can see what you mean, but they are just putting out more shirts to appeal to all types. not just to people who want a 'funny' shirt. now there are artsy ones, cute ones, stylish ones and still one or two funny ones each new printing... just be happy with em!

sectionbb on Aug 20 '07 at 4:19pm

Wee . .. I believe he wrote that he thought Quack Attack was closest to that "state of glory".

Trueflight on Aug 20 '07 at 4:27pm

I prefer a good design to a good joke, though it's certainly possible to have both. Anyway, "comedy-based shirts" have only gotten MORE numerous over the course of Threadless' existence, since they're putting out way more stuff every week.

ISABOA on Aug 20 '07 at 4:28pm

i am never gonna respond to another one of these

ISABOA on Aug 20 '07 at 4:28pm

aw hell

gdvision on Aug 20 '07 at 5:19pm

i haven't been attracted to any of the t-shirts for a while now. they're kinda weak. the art for the most part is usually cleverly composed, but not enough for me to want 'em. funny doesn't have to be a cheesy pun, but if you're trying to be funny, it's gotta have a clear, intelligible point.

martiandrivein on Aug 20 '07 at 5:22pm

Hey!...he likes my Haiku!

artdrops on Aug 20 '07 at 5:26pm

that "butterfly fish" is not to shabby.... if I say so myself ^^

MisterFictionary on Aug 20 '07 at 5:27pm

This looks like it should be part of a series with "Defend the Kingdom"...Me likey!

The Wee Straggler on Aug 20 '07 at 5:28pm

sectionbb on Aug 20 '07 at 4:19pm

Wee . .. I believe he wrote that he thought Quack Attack was closest to that "state of glory".

Doh! Makes much more sense now.

Does that mean I'll hate this shirt once my balls drop?

Themilkman666 on Aug 20 '07 at 6:05pm

Dude if your moments of glory is with the text tees you haven't been here long enough

Themilkman666 on Aug 20 '07 at 6:06pm

if your moments of glory was where when they had text tees then you haven't been around here long enough

Themilkman666 on Aug 20 '07 at 6:06pm

shit...

El_Dictador_Cubano on Aug 20 '07 at 7:40pm

my interests at the moment are drifting away from the simple comedic t-shirts, to the more artistic ones that "only make sense to the artist"... they make me feel above everyone else, and I love it.

emma.. on Aug 20 '07 at 7:53pm

martiandrivein on Aug 20 '07 at 5:22pm

Hey!...he likes my Haiku!

we all know the real point of this blog was to get into Rolfs pants.

Which, really, is understandable.

funaholic on Aug 20 '07 at 8:02pm

I agree

deathcabfortom on Aug 20 '07 at 8:07pm

boyyyyyyyyyy.

quiksliver on Aug 20 '07 at 9:26pm

I agree with him, I found out about threadless a while ago and I was estatic, then slowly and slowly my favourite shirts started selling out and I didn't end up buying anything because the new shirts are pretty lame and I wasn't fast enough...

and none of the good shirts ever get reprinted...

ysy101 on Aug 20 '07 at 9:31pm

I think the good thing about Threadless is that they listen to your wants. I like to design both silly and artistic shirts just in case because I never know what people like better.

evrfixedmark on Aug 20 '07 at 10:59pm

to castle and papaprime

ha. laughed my ass off.

schleb on Aug 20 '07 at 10:59pm

QQ more please.

Stevethegreat on Aug 20 '07 at 11:00pm

different strokes for different folks.

littlem on Aug 20 '07 at 11:00pm

i remember the alamo

heyheyitsme on Aug 20 '07 at 11:13pm

hmmm...this blog is kind of funny! not sure what to add:)

aflaedge on Aug 20 '07 at 11:34pm

I would have to say that I was drawn to this site just yesterday by a search for a fun, intelligent, and well composed shirt for a friend. When most other gifts would have failed to highlight our unique connection, this tee shirt succeeded. Unfortunately, it was never printed, but i digress. I guess what I'm trying to say is that an abstract shirt with no rhyme or reason may be just as valid as the dry one liner shirt depending on the searcher. The important thing is to maintain that balance of diversity. The fortunes of threadless seem to be rooted in their ability to provide that shirt that nobody else has thought of or would dare to print.

FRICKINAWESOME on Aug 20 '07 at 11:37pm

You haven't even had your Sweet Sixteen yet, and you are blogging with nostalgic posts? Go suckle on the grandmother's teat shirt for a while.

Sheiqck on Aug 21 '07 at 12:46am

Punk's not dead!

littlem on Aug 21 '07 at 12:51am

you remind me of my last defecation

*snicker

Robsoul on Aug 21 '07 at 1:21am

ha and I felt this was the weakest tee of the day, but to each his own.

maddingo on Aug 21 '07 at 1:23am

i remember when thinking things use to be cool ..

was cool

elemenopy on Aug 21 '07 at 3:18am

What's wrong with diversity in design? Not like a business strategy...

Red Threads on Aug 21 '07 at 10:27am

I liked this shirt just not the colour - although it does look good on the model, maybe that's just because she's cute. I didn't like the butterfly shirt though... guh. I haven't been browsing threadless long enough to notice any changes but looking back at some of the sold out shirt's i do wish i had.

LemmingsArePirates on Aug 21 '07 at 4:32pm

He has a point. I'm not saying all their designs suck, cos I still like lots of them, but recently they have others that just aren't funny or interesting.

Solution? Don't buy the shirt.

2 days later

beckysaurusREX on Aug 24 '07 at 12:04am

threadless shirts have been getting more and more lame. shirts from past years were so much better.

whats the deal?

sectionbb on Aug 24 '07 at 1:40am

guess all the good designs got used up

;-D

viralVISUAL on Aug 24 '07 at 2:11am

I don't think the old are better than the new. They're all good. :/
