Teefury

Whaaaa?! Like a fool with pants on the ground.

Too bad for the Vikings it was more looking like a fool with the ball on the ground

>.> exploding bacteria strikes again

THIS IS TOTALLY RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS!

ZoMG! Best. Shirt. Ever.


RoFlCopterzzzzz!!!

i just got 2

Dang you. I bought yesterday's shirt and thought I'd have some time before buying more. Not to be...................

I would never buy anything like this since when the hype dies down, it'll just lay in my drawer. Same thing with that Kanye shirt...

i am SSSOOOOOOO buying this!!!

This is funny today, but think about 6 months from now. And thing about a few years from now. It's like owning a William Hung shirt. When was the last time you walked up to your friends and started singing "SHE BANG! SHE BANG!" and got a laugh out of it? You might have a few years ago, but not anymore.

This shirt has short time funny, but not long time. That would be my reason for not getting it.

Buying this shirt would be perpetuating the stereotype that American Idol is a good show.

Also, is this going to donate any money anywhere or is this just going to TeeFury's ability to stay afloat? Either way it's a good cause, just wondering. o 3o

Read the posting rules.

Black shirt? I'll spill bleach on it and it get ruined. No thanks. White shirts for me only. jk jk.

this pants on the ground phenomenon happened a few weeks ago didnt it? so much for staying on top of the exploding bacteria references.

Kanye is a pertual idiot. That shirt is always timely.

this shirt is not, in fact, a good idea. it feels to forced and banal. better luck tomorrow.

Wow, I... I just don't even know what to say to that video...

It's almost like, instead of my foot being in my mouth, my pants are, how should I say?... on the ground?

I think the $1/shirt that usually goes to the artist definitely needs to go to Mr. General Larry Platt.

American Idol spoof! Ha.

but then it's only a 10 dollar shirt which you had your fun with a couple of times (if you like it) and then you can go wear it to the gym or wherever

The thing I got from the Pants on the Ground song. The General marched with Dr. Martin Luther King to help gain freedoms. When he looks around today, he sees young men baggin' with their hats sideways and gold teeth, it seems like he wonders if younger ones appreciate what he and his generation did.

D'oh! I can't see a flash-in-the-pan thing like an early round Idol freak phenom being justification for buying a t-shirt even at this price. Although, if you took a few bags full around to some old school barber shops, I'd say there would be a really good chance of unloading them. Even buying at this price one might still make some decent cash.

I used to think Teefury was a place where artists could sell their work, obviously I was wrong. This is another terrible example of what Tee fury has been on a steady decline towards.

lol that's why favre and Allen seem to be the only ones that are really into it and spanking around. All the black guys are all tentative looking like "hey thats us that song is dissing man..."

Not sure why my previous post was deleted. It was relevant and not overtly mean.

This shirt will get old in a few days as all these American Idol jokes do -- William Hung?

Very five minutes ago. See ya again in 24 hours.

exploding bacteria shirts are fine, as long as they last more than a month. Back to the Future works. Something that will have been forgotten within the next month or two doesn't. The people who buy this won't know what to do with it next year...or their "I'm with CoCo" shirts. :-D

meow. Wasn't this supposed to be "Animal's Behaving Badly" week?

oh geez

A good laugh never hurt anyone. Buy it now, let it go stale, then whip it out in 5 years and it'll be nostalgic!

I'm indifferent already to AI, so I feel nothing for this shirt, but shouldn't there be an apostrophe there? I don't know :u I guess there aren't any rules to spelling slang, hahaha.

My dad actually does this sometimes still, but he's one of those asians making fun of other asians type of person.

it's funny. But like they said, it won't always be funny and it's not very original.

Needs an American Idles xxxl

i think it's totally appropriate for right now. people need to stop hating, especially on the facebook feed.

Complaining about the shirts TeeFury chooses to print is so last year. And annoying. Just saying.

ok, I am not hating on the TSHIRT but the whole pants on the ground thing: IT WASNT FUNNY!!! Why do people think this was so funny? I DONT GET IT!

exploding bacteria doesn't really have much place on T-shirts imo... and neither does a design that took 5 minutes to make. Disappoint.

too trendy. this shirt won't mean anything to anyone in like 6 weeks. clever and funny, but not worth the money.

It's shirts like this that might make it so I don't even care anymore about getting back the teefury archive, sorry.

lookin like a fool when the hype dies down!

speaking of exploding art, who said this, "In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes"??? why, teefury, why?

Instant buy. I don't care how wrong it is, how stupid 15-minutes of fame are... INSTANT BUY!

/can't care about hype WesleyCrusher. In a couple of years, this stuff is retro again!

For real, like if there was a Rick Rolled shirt, that thing would never get old. There someone being RickRolled for the first time ever Right now.

Im sorry, This one's better

this is a direction in which I don't like teeshirt going. not a fan of this or what this represents.

I would love to know how many they actually sell. Willing to dish out those stats TF?

Then I watched the video and now I totally get it! :D :D :D

Definetly. Me and my friend have been making TONS of jokes over this for about a week, this shirt is a must... KHAAAAAAAN you teefury, putting it up the day before I get paid. D:

HILARIOUS! Love this ....

umm...tee fury peeps actually watch american idol? wow...i don't fit in here near as much as i thought.

No thanks, not for me. Hate American Idol, and I don't think this fad/meme is funny... at all. I love Teefury, but I just don't want this shirt. :(

*** Well hello, we... erm... like like you!

Oh dear. This is just a bad joke in itself right? 24 hours devoted to this idea? *le sigh*

Perhaps you could hand this kind of exploding 'bacteria' idea out as a free iron-on transfer with orders.

I love the idea of Tee Fury, but this kind of design is the sort of thing you find at the local cheapo store or on the local tramp.

This reminds me of a Georges Braque quote, which kinda links Tee Fury's idea with this one....

''Two ideas are always needed: one to kill the other.''

*le additional sigh*

...and this is why everyone else in the world believes Americans are dumb. Prettttttty sad.

I don't see what everyones issue is with time specific pieces. If you wear it after the joke is completely dead and stale, you're being ironic and super cool.

Ugggh, this is everywhere in Atlanta! Can't take any more! Clever design but I couldn't possibly...

I thought this was animal week? Jesus Christ Tee Fury! I dont know who I am frustrated with, you for continually printing awful shirts or the people that keep buying them . I love the idea of the website so i will continue to wake up every morning and check out your website before I get my morning dose of 8th Street Latinas, but I am sure, as usual, I will be disappointed.

What's next a "Christian Sidehug" T-shirt?

LoL. I'm from Georgia, as the General is. I couldn't believe it when my father forwarded me the email with the video. Oh the General. As we say in the South, Bless His Heart. You can say anything you want to about a person as long as you follow it with, "Bless his heart." And sometimes, there's no need to a reason to say it. This is one of those times.

Bless your heart, teefury.

Did anyone see the Canadian legislative guy quote the "Pants on the ground" in session? Wooooow.

TheRyanEffect said: meow. Wasn't this supposed to be "Animal's Behaving Badly" week?

Agreed.

Animals Week?

My TV broke a few months ago and I didn't replace it ... so ... I think maybe this is too timely for me to even understand remotely.

i'm not into spoof shirts at all but this one is tempting... gonna think on it for a bit

I don't watch American Idol... so I didn't get to celebrate it the moment it happened. I didn't think it was that funny when people sent me links to youtube, or I saw it on recap shows, or when it became the ring tone for several people at work.

But, people had said they wanted a shirt of this nature, and TeeFury provided. TA DA! It's not for me though.

This means something completely different here in the UK! Vive la différence! I did see this on the TV and the time thought it would go viral.

***Deleted. Insanely large objects are hard on the eyes.

Please don't post pictures of yourself with your pants on the ground.
At least when you're not wearing any underwear.

I was only doing it for the fame and fortune.
So, someone should give this guy some money. Seriously.

Ugh. This again. What happened to the cool animal shirts? We got like two days??

this is a no brainer in my books - doubt this will have any longevity

Lookin Like a Fool with Your Design to Small

Hey at least this proves that Simon is a genius for spotting talent, no matter how wrong you think that talent might be.

it's just a matter of time until a there's tiger woods shirt..

I'm so very bummed that on my friends birthday, they pushed aside a Gorilla design. A pure insta-buy for him.
On his birthday. I mean, c'mon.
I'm the ruler of the 2 Universes. I AM his Divine Shadow!

Ha! This is to funny! I love that song and I can't get it out of my head. I hope somebody adds some more words for the lyrics and has the General do a recorded cleaned up version. This shirt is so very awesome and sure to be a one hit wonder as well! PANTS ON THE GROUND, PANTS ON THE GROUND! LOOKIN LIKE A FOOL WITH YO PANTS ON THE GROUND. GOLD TEETH IN YOU MOUTH AND HAT TURNED (AROUND) SIDEWAYS! PANTS ON THE GROUND! GET YOU PANTS OFF THE GROUND!!!!:)

People, come on, it's a $9 dollar joke. Who cares if you only wear it a few times. It's good for a few laughs.

That said, I wouldn't wear it.

jokerface said: it's just a matter of time until a there's tiger woods shirt..

i might actually wear the Tiger Woods shirt...set up "Brady Bunch" style perhaps? with all(most of) the mistresses around tiger? haha

I usually only make a comment when I like something, however...

Teefury decides to rush a design that will be totally forgotten in 5 weeks, whereas decides to not rush a design for Haiti with proceeds going to the relief fund, which will still be a problem 5 years from now. Pathetic.

TeeFury said: What is The Teevil Initiative? One of Teefury's unique abilities is to offer designs that are timely with today's news.

Timely? come on...this site changes shirts at midnight Eastern. If this would have come out that night after the show it would have been HOT!HOT!HOT!

Brett Farve has all but since Retired!!! His Pants Are On The Ground!!!

Think about putting this in a time capsule and how absolutely no one will know what it means in 20 years.
This would probably sell better in Japan where they don't care what the words say, kinda like a college girl with Asian characters tattooed on her lower back.

That said, I wouldn't wear it.

If I wore this my friends would have me committed to try and regain some shred of self worth and dignity.

The design is poor, and the explanation of doing it to explore dumbass phenomenon, just gets translated in my head as 'explore cash-in opportunities.'.

How about a shirt that says 'Lookin' like a fool with your standards on the ground'?

Question: Did you get permission from The General to profit from his original song? He does own the rights to these lyrics.

I really think TF should at least give 10% to The General.

I apparently am going to have to wikipedia what Pants on the Ground means. Looks like I might have a Situation. Maybe if I fist pump hard enough I'll understand this. Oh yeah, Kanye's a jackass. And vote for Coco.

I'm not wearing anything that even remotely reminds me of American Idol.

Lol! Also add Cheetah Woods. Maybe do Chester Cheetah in Tiger Woods clothes.

pretty, did you draw it?

Naw, Im not good at animating. Found it on the internet!

I had no idea what Brett Favre and the Vikings were singing about. Now, after following some links, I get it. Thanks fer learnin' me something!


BTW, I've never watched American Idol.

Don't be Haiti 'in

too soon?

Think I cared last week.

I'll say it again, since my comment seems to have disappeared: it's very much mediocre. That's not hateful or derogatory, it's a simply an honest opinion.

Or are only positive comments allowed? An echo chamber doesn't help anyone.

monkeyinjacket said: i thought it was animal week or something what gives tee fury

True. We swapped the King Pong to Monday. Mondays are good traffic days so it will get more exposure than if it was today. We wanted to try out this design before the phenomenon died down. No biggie.

Since you are asking though, you better buy that King Pong! ;)

By the time the shirt is printed, shipped, and finally arrives, the joke won't be relevant anymore. I'll pass.

TeeFury, how about getting the shirts out to us quicker? In this day and age, three weeks is a long time to have to wait for a product. Just sayin'.

Refuse to buy it. There are a ton of funny shirts hanging in my closet and I can't wear them anymore because the joke got old after I wore each of them the third time.

I'd rather spend my $11 on something artistic and lasting.

I'm excited for King Pong! :)

Purchased!!! Sadly I'm a huge Minnesota Vikings fan.

It's not so much that only positive comments are allowed, but comments like that don't really say anything useful or relevant, no offence. By that I mean, what does your comment say that is useful to Teefury or the artist? Mediocre doesn't answer any questions as to why you dislike it. It's un-constructive.

And comments like "It'll be irrelevant in a few weeks..." aren't any better. If you don't like the shirt, don't buy it. If you like it...buy it. Sooner or later everything becomes irrelevant, but posting a well known fact doesn't help.

Plus, didn't your parents ever tell you, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."?

I really don't mean to offend you, or the other posters, and I'm truly sorry if I did. I just hope this post will make at least one person stop and think before they post something as irrelevant as the point they're trying to convey.

"There's always a nicer way to say things" - Grandma.

So many talented artists out there for this shirt to be printed.

Pants on the ground!
Pants on the ground!
Lookin' like a fool with yer pants on the ground!

It's everywhere...

I think "it wont be relevant in 3 weeks" is a fine reason to let the artist know why you wont be buying his shirt,

another point is unless this "phenomenon" exploded this week how is it fair to bump the artists for this? is there really a need for such a rush?

you totally killed the song for me

This shirt has short time funny, but not long time. That would be my reason for not getting it.

i agree. in 3 weeks or so when you get the shirt, it will already be old.

not buying. hopefully there will be something better tomorrow.

Simply stating that it wont be relevant in a few weeks was the "nicer" way to put it. I'll support shirts I like by purchasing them. The ones I don't care for, I will comment on. I'm sure a contrary opinion is valued by someone.

I kind of want this shirt, but not enough to make me get up off my lazy butt and go get my card.so I'm gonna pass...

OMFG YES

DUH, i knew this was gonna happen...


SWEET...
