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" 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.

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.

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!

I actually agree 100%

Comedy doesn't have to be a cheesy pun on a shirt either. It can be something else.

The shirts I've always bought from Threadless are the ones where someone would walk up to be and ask me to explain it and I after I was done they'd get a good laugh.

however, alot of the newer shirts seem to be mainly very creative and even very cool looking patterns that are interesting, but they aren't really something I want to wear.

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.

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.

Doh! Makes much more sense now.

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

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
