A well recognized fact is the fantastic growth of t-shirt and this fast development can be accredited to the Navy which began its complete success by the issue of an underwear with a silhouette of a ‘T’, short sleeves sans a collar as standard kit. As usual, Hollywood accelerated its popularity when icons like Marlon Brando and James Dean showed up in these shirts on the silver screen. The charm of these shirts shot through the roof and you were not considered to be “in” if you didn’t sport one. Cool - that’s what it was literally and figuratively. And, as the material from which it was manufactured developed in quality compounded with more robust printing techniques, the popularity of the t-shirt gained a phenomenal growth.

Every piece of clothing says something about the wearer; this is a well known adage, but the funny t-shirt does it more expressively. Mildly to extremely funny, on the edge of absurdity, comically rude and outrageous and also disgusting without being blatantly so, these t-shirts appealed to every one, irrespective of gender or age. The sheer audacity of these t-shirts is so awesome that that it leaves people catching their breaths. The limits to what use it can be put to has no boundaries.

In the political arena, these t-shirts are used to put across a political point or ridicule one, be supportive of a candidate or be mean to another. History tells us that during his 1948 Presidential crusade, the then Governor of New Your, Thomas E. Dewey used one such t-shirt with the message “Dew-IT with Dewey” printed on it.

There isn’t a subject on earth that has not appeared on the t-shirt in some funny form or another. Everyone and everything has been ridiculed. Americans, Britishers, Canadians, politicians, lawyers, girls, boys, dogs, cats, games and even human attitudes; just mention a subject and one is sure to find some funny t-shirt in some nook or corner sporting something hilarious on it. If it so happens that someone has a whacky phrase of his own and wants the society to know about, all that they have to do is to log on to the Internet, submit it to a website that specializes in making customized t-shirts, and Lo and Behold, it is delivered at their doorstep. It has become such a nationwide phenomenon that small children and senior citizens can be seen wearing them.

It is not just the front of the t-shirt, the back can also be expressive. The use of graphical images, weird fonts and play on words further enhances their popularity. The range of colors and the psychedelic images that they come in are to be seen to be believed. The beauty of it is that the use of these shirts is not restricted to just teenagers; infants to senior citizens use them.

The myriad possible uses of explicit and implicit graphical pictures, different colors and psychedelic auras, bizarre fonts, whacky catchphrases and play on words make the funny t-shirt a versatile medium to expression. The use of these techniques could have one wracked with laughter or might leave one stupefied enough to stand and gape at what is emblazoned in the front. Not to be out done, the back of the t-shirt is also capable of riveting you down.

There is a fair possibility that the wearer of the t-shirt might also be sending out a warning signal in a subtle, roundabout funny way. A teenager may be indirectly venting his anger by sporting an offensive and funny t-shirt. But one also has to be careful when wearing such a shirt. In these days when words and phrases can have double meanings, simple innocuous words may mean something totally different to some other person.

A rude or offensively funny t-shirt might just be the purpose of the person who is sporting it to give an expression of his or her anger against an individual or a concept; the more offensive the message the more his resentment. One has to be very guarded these days since a simple phrase that does not offend one may offend another. The best bet may be a t-shirt with a big empty circle drawn on it. Nothing to it.
