I like the idea, but the original Beatles shirt has been copied/parodied so often in every single way (other bands, celebrities, football stars, politicians etc.) that I'm just a bit fed up with this. If you could come up with an original twist somehow it might be worth it, because a golden girls shirt is pure gold.

I liked the Wu-tang parody of this Beatles shirt the best. It just went on and on and on.

But yeah, this with gold foil ampersands is irresistible not to buy. So 5$ for that.

Considering there are numerous versions of this shirt, I don't see what another matters. Besides, this is about the Golden Girls and Betty White is an instant 5$

i'm with kaloyster on this - everyone hated his design but people are falling over themselves heaping praise on this.

it's just 'cause the guy is threadless staff.

it's bullshit



bird75
bird75 on Sep 21 '07
Sophia was the funniest on that show. I hope some of the younger THREADIE's can appreciate this humor before voting.

Gold foil IS A MUST ON THIS DESIGN, It would seperate it from the other cliche taglines.
Bramish
   Bramish on Sep 21 '07
I was never a fan of the original design this parodies.

I appreciate that switching the names for another famous foursome can bring a brief chuckle, as this did for me, but there's no real lasting appeal.

66 comments says otherwise though.
iFDL
   iFDL on Sep 21 '07
i honestly don't think this is doing better than anyone else's due to the fact that i work at threadless. it has probably to do with (1) people know the golden girls so the shirt needs no explanation, and (2) i matched the font, size, style, kerning and tracking exactly to the original... hence a parody. but alas, the sub was meant to be in jest, and i really didn't expect it to be printed. honestly i'm surprised (yet kinda stoked) so many people commented on it.

:)

This is so funny, Golden Girls is a classic! My boyfriend can't understand how I always randomly start singing the them tune!

Gold Ampersands-not the whole thing!

I think Phones is in need of a hug! ; ) (although I agree about all the Mario subs!)
rossisdead
rossisdead on Sep 21 '07
I think the reason people like this one and not the other one is because people know what the Golden Girls is. 99% of people seeing that shirt probably don't know who The Shaggs are, much less their first names. I've known about The Shaggs for years and I didn't even get the joke until I read the comment on it.

Flippinheck
Flippinheck on Sep 23 '07
This makes me laugh.

Not because I find the design funny, but because it just highlights the sheep-like behaviour I've always observed in this community. If you're popular, you're set for life, whether it's getting a thousand comments on a meaningless post or receiving accolades on a design that frankly, is totally unimpressive.

(Before anyone tells me that I don't get it, I'll tell you that I've probably watched as many if not more episodes here than most of you. I loved the show and I still do.)

The fact that this 'design' is receiving so much love and apparently so many $5s is a total slap in the face for the less well-known designers who've actually put time and effort into their submissions.

And iFDL - this isn't a hit against you. If this gets printed, I can only congratulate you on a job well done - not for coming up with a good design, but for being so popular that people are actually willing to present you with a check for $2000.

As for the rest of you... flame away. I couldn't care less what you think of me.

I'm not after the popularity vote.

FRICKINAWESOME
   FRICKINAWESOME on Sep 23 '07
flippinheck: I like this concept because I like the goldon girls and the concept of a shirt parodying that beatles shirt and putting golden ampersands to bring together the golden girls concept is amazing.

I didn't even know the person who did this. I never even heard of them before....i guess they work for Threadless?

So what i'm saying is, your views are true to a point but not on this one i think. Sometimes, no matter what kind of stuff you put up here, if you are a popular Threadless personality, it will get millions of comments. I don't think this is the case here, so you can butterfly kiss my ass! lol.

AGil on Sep 27 '07
I dunno, I think it's clever, my girlfriend loved the show and probably would love this. It's a parody but I think there could have been more done to make the message more VISUALLY interesting considering it's a designed shirt, I just think this took 30 seconds to make. As much as I credit you for being clever I can't give a high score.

Flippinheck on Sep 27 '07
1.76 is low, but not nearly low enough for something like this. A similar design got something like 0.7. And that came before this one.

If you can't see (or refuse to acknowledge) the whole pseudo-celebrity worshipping and clicque-y mutual backslapping that is so prevalent here... well, whatever.
