Two Sides – Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Ok, everyone that was of the appropriate age watched Saved By the Bell. Just admit it, ok? No, it wasn’t particularly good writing. The acting left a little to be desired. Everything was a cliche. But yet there it was. So I found it interesting when I came across an article that suggested that the entire series was actually all just a dream, akin to St. Elsewhere (or one of the seasons of Dallas). Crazy, right? So I had to throw up this Bayside Tigers t-shirt to support the crazy high school that might have just been a figment of a poor Zach Morris’ mind. (Available at 80sTees)
COOKIE MONSTER! I feel like I’ve featured more cookie monster shirts than anything on this site.. so what’s one more? Giant cookie monster face shirt is awesome. Well, even little cookie monster face is awesome, but the bigger the more menacing, to cookies. (Available at 80sTees)
When care bears stop caring and start getting real. I can’t say I’ve ever thought of these colorful furry happy things as the same kind of bears that rip people’s throats out – if for no other reason than I think they have hearts on their paws instead of claws. Cleverly, Cheer Bear here seems to have gone with a more pointed approach (see what I did there?). As the bears are, as I recall, only about knee height, I’m not sure I feel too worried with them running around in the clouds, but I can’t say I’m too happy with the thought of a malevolent Care Bear Stare application. Let’s hope this was a one time necessary evil. (Available at Threadless)
Doctor Who shirt! Threadless has featured Doctor Who t-shirts in the past, but they often don’t pique my interest nearly as much as the show has always done. I do love this paisley-esque pattern of the TARDIS, though. I think it would make a lovely wallpaper, or as some of the commenters on Threadless suggested, bed sheets. Does that make your bed bigger on the inside? Oh, who cares. It’s a TARDIS shirt. I can be more than content with that. (Available at Threadless)
This is not your toddler’s cookie monster! This shirt shows a particularly menacing looking cookie monster-like figure standing atop a rock looking as crazy as ever. I’d be afraid this monster would be less interested in cookies than tearing me limb from limb .. pretty fierce. (Available at Threadless)
Evil Care Bears! With spray paint, stars that appear to be for more harm than love, mohawks, tattoos, sunglasses, and a menacing pose with a baseball bat, the Care Bears on this shirt are not to be trifled with. I’m pretty sure these not-so-lovable bears would tear right through Care-a-lot, and I don’t even want to know what terror their Care Bear Stare would produce. I never knew Care Bears could be feral, but there they are. (Available at Threadless)
Cook-Man. Or something. I love Pac-Man, I love Cookie Monster, and this shirt combines the two of them. And has cookies. So, what else does a shirt need? Nothing, I say. C is for this shirt. (Available at Threadless)
Smurf? ANGRY Smurf! From their Dutch beginnings, the Smurfs have always kind of freaked me out a little bit. I mean, they’re really weird. This shirt depicts a particularly incensed unidentifiable (I think.. I don’t remember Angry Tribal Smurf, at least) Smurf flying through the air, ready to shoot something with his arrow. Makes.. sense? (Available at Threadless)
Who you gonna call? This is my second Ghostbusters shirt post of the day, which always makes for a good day. This time it’s also a Lost reference (thus all of the flashback t-shirt posts, right?), which makes it twice as nice. Here some figure, wearing a Dharma Initiative logo where his Ghost Busters logo would be, sucks up the smoke monster into his backpack, about ready to jump back into the Dharma van to presumably the Hatch or some other island location. I love cross-references. (Available at Threadless)
Oh, Coco. The late night controversy was both riveting and pointless, and true to that I couldn’t stop watching and reading but yet didn’t really care what happened. While I felt for Conan, and he was a man who I watched from the very beginning, I can’t say I felt like I needed to know the details of his employment contract. That stuff seems best dealt with in private. All of that being said, the internet went friggin nuts over it. Twitter had people turning their avatar icon’s orange to match their hero’s ginger locks (I’m with Coco), Jay Leno was ostracized and thought of as the biggest jerk on television, and Letterman snicked to himself nightly. Because what, the TV people wanted to change up their lineup to attract ratings? I’m just saying, there are better shows that were canceled before their time, with less fanfare. Anyway, this shirt depicts the perhaps appropriately named Conan as his barbarian namesake, brandishing his Coco sword, ready to fight evil, or at least, bad celebrities. To arms, my late night hero.

Aah! Lost! Like the show, this shirt kind of creeps me out, I can hear the crescendo opening sound and picture the logo spinning towards me. But I keep watching. I’m surprised the designer was able to find 108 objects to stuff into the plane on the t-shirt, even if some of them are the omnipresent numbers in the number sequence. As the show comes to a wrap, it seems like an appropriate shirt, no? I particularly love the Dharma Initiative octagon on the back! (Available at Threadless)
What would MacGyver do? There’s no duct tape, though in theory he might have some in the pants that are likely around his ankles. And though toilet paper is a pretty important commodity in the situation that he is likely in when presented with the what would McGyver do scenario here, he does have a toilet paper roll, which might come in handy. Perhaps some kind of signal to the outside world that there’s someone in need of assistance that is not particularly mobile at the moment? (Available at Threadless)
I grew up (as did so many others) watching Sesame Street, so this mock Sesame Street interpretation of its most famous muppet characters is pretty awesome. As listed on the side, it features a yellow crane (Big Bird), a blue grizzly (Cookie Monster), a hairy-headed red eft (Elmo), a vampire bat (the Count), a cobalt monkey (Grover), an orange koala (Ernie), a three-toed sloth (Bert), and a bearded tortoise (Oscar the Grouch). Pure awesome, if you ask me. (Available at Threadless)
