If there’s one clothing item that tends to naturally pile up, it’s t-shirts. Chances are, you own at least a few (or maybe a few hundred — who are we to judge?) that represent something to you. There are your favorite ones like the perfect white tee or the shirt you got at your beloved band’s concert. Then there are the commemorative ones you just happen to own from when you volunteered or ran a marathon 10 years ago. And then there’s a whole other category of tees that speaks to you and speaks for you in the funniest way possible.
Allow us to introduce you to an Instagram account called ‘Good Shirts’, a social media project that celebrates and pokes fun at photos of t-shirts with oddly-specific slogans. The creators of this page are out on a mission to feature some of the strangest and most hilarious articles of clothing found around the world, and they don’t hold back.
From “my tummy hurts and I’m mad at the government” to “your baby is worthless if it isn’t a DJ”, our team at Bored Panda has scoured the page and wrapped up a hilarious compilation of pictures below for you to enjoy. So continue scrolling, hit upvote as you go, and let us know which shirts ring true to you in the comments!

No article of clothing can tell the world who and what you really are as quickly as a t-shirt. It’s the perfect combination of functionality and expression, even though sometimes things can get “lost in translation”, as the founder of ‘Good Shirts’ writes in the account description.
Ever since they started this social media project in July 2019, they created the perfect outlet filled to the brim with bizarre shirt slogans solely for entertainment. “‘Good Shirts’ began as an Instagram account documenting the strange and fascinating shirts found in Hanoi, Vietnam,” the creator revealed on their website.

“While living in Hanoi, I became obsessed with these strange shirts that bore corrupted versions of famous company logos, misjointed platitudes or complete nonsense text vomited all over a T-shirt. I sought them out at every marketplace like a thrifter searching for a hidden gem, though the gems I desired were not typically beautiful, but strange and rife with mistakes,” they added. “Still, there was an accidental beauty to the shirts I found, something profound and hilarious-without-trying.”
Then, their project started steadily amassing fans from far and wide and today has over 269K devoted followers eagerly waiting for the next hilarious shirt slogan to grace their feeds. “Over time, as the Instagram page grew and as submissions poured in from all across the world, the theme of the account began to change to a more all-encompassing fun T-shirt enthusiasm. Today, I post shirts that, accidentally or on purpose, make me laugh.” And from the looks of it, they make everyone laugh as well.

Everyone knows that clothing is one of the best ways to express yourself. When it comes to t-shirts, they have served this purpose ever since they came into existence. Even in the middle ages, according to historian Maude Bass-Krueger who wrote the piece “Everything to know about the history of the T-shirt” in Vogue. The now unisex and all-purpose tee began its life as an undergarment worn by men: “Wearing a clean, laundered shirt showed off a gentleman’s wealth,” the professor explained.
The shape of the shirt people wore in the old days — large pieces sewn into a “T” shape with long shirt tails tucked between the legs — underwent serious changes in the 19th century. With the rise of new technology, it was easier to mass-produce them into a more fitting shape. Although it was recommended to wear these knit-wool pieces of clothing as undershirts, “the British Royal Navy began allowing their sailors to wear these undershirts when working on deck” at the end of the century.
