Funny T-shirts - although they're not necessarily funny 'ha-ha' (though sometimes they might be). Usually they're T-shirts fused with a subtle, sophisticated, ironic humour (we hope) - the kind of jokes where you say "that's funny" without actually laughing (see also: mid-period Woody Allen). Because, let's be honest, you don't need complete strangers coming up and guffawing at the lowest common-denominator gag on your tee. Frankly, it would be inconvenient. (Don't get us wrong, we love lowest common-denominator humour - The Two Ronnies' Phantom Raspberry Blower is OK with us, it's just that we don't want him on our T-shirts.)
Face it, lots of funny tees are pretty stinky. They're adorned with naff or bawdy or slutty or misogynistic or vulgar slogans (that are not going to get you a date - ever). Or - even worse - you've got comic tees that perform mischievous wordplay with famous corporate logos (Ford and McDonalds becoming - quite unhilariously - swear words.) Not funny.
Other funny tees that often have perilous consequences are the TV comedy-show tee-shirt tie-ins. The first question to ask: why would any individual feel the need to inform complete strangers that they are avid fans of the cult sci-fi comedy, Red Dwarf? (This is a trick question, because there really is no satisfactory answer.)
Of course, it's perfectly healthy - commendable, even - to enjoy Family Guy, Little Britain and The League of Gentlemen, but beware when purchasing their branded tees. How many adults cringe into cramps when they think back to their Mary Whitehouse Experience "Milky Milky" and "That's you, that is!" tee-shirts? (Lots do - count on it.) So remember, kids: watch TV, don't wear it!
So are we at Split the Atom any better? Well, we like to think that our comedy tees fly in the face of these tacky tshirts - they're funny without losing the cool. Wearing a Split the Atom tee-shirt is akin to telegraphing those in your vicinity that, yes, you do have a highly sophisticated sense of humour and, no, you are not a clod. When you wear a Split the Atom tee, it's like having a neon sign above your head that says, "I'm jovial, erudite and the perfect candidate to pursue a mature and highly sexual relationship with," which can't be bad.
