Why Aren't You Laughing At My Funny T-Shirts?

By Barry Cannon


There has never been a time when you haven't been able to make your friends laugh. As far back as you can remember, you have always been the guy that your friends look to in order to fill the silences with a witty quip or a unique observation. It's no big deal, really. That's just the natural role you assume and you do it well. Now that you've discovered the world of funny t-shirts online, you have definitely decided to get some to wear out with your friends. You get genuinely excited as the delivery truck draws near, you unwrap your funny t-shirts, and prepare yourself for an evening of hilarity.

Well, the time draws neigh for you to go to your favorite meet-up with your buddies and you think you've picked out the absolute best of your new funny t-shirts. You have the whole night visualized in your mind. You're going to make everyone you see laugh out loud at the sight of your excellent pick of funny t-shirts, girls are going to flock to you, and strangers are going to buy you drinks. Needless to say, it's going to be a pretty great night.

You open the door to the old pub with a flourish, stride in, and expect to be worshipped like a deity come to earth. That doesn't actually happen, so you decide to be patient and let the outrageous laughter happen organically. You see your friends, get the meet-and-greet of the night over with, and settle down for some good conversation...which you're certain will focus mainly on how funny your funny t-shirts are. A few drinks go by, and while you get a few laughs from your chums through conversation, people are still completely ignoring the comedy gold on your shirt.

You aren't panicking, or anything. It's just a matter of funny t-shirts, after all and not life or death. Why aren't people commenting on your shirt? You've noticed that several of them have glanced down, read your shirt, and then glanced back up without even cracking a smile. Have you been completely wrong this whole time? Do you have a terrible sense of humor that nobody appreciates? Surely your friends have not been laughing merely to be polite all this time.

Well, I wouldn't worry too much about your friends not appreciating your choice of funny t-shirts. Funny t-shirts are completely subjective. There is no human connection between a shirt and a person, so the person observing the shirt is the one who must immerse themselves in the concept of the joke all alone. Humor is subjective, and what one person thinks is hilarious, another person may dismiss completely. You will always be funnier than the print on some t-shirt, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't keep buying them! You may get one that everyone connects to, so experiment and try to stick to humor that is grounded in the movies, music, and interests of those you most care about.
