How to Pick the Perfect Funny T-Shirt: A No-Nonsense Guide

Buying a funny graphic tee shouldn't be complicated. But sizing, quality, and whether the joke actually holds up — here's what we've learned from making shirts people actually wear.

 

  1. The Joke Has to Hold Up
  2. The good ones are still funny the fifth time a coworker notices them. The difference is specificity. "Too Tired For This" outlasts "I Hate Mondays" because it's less predictable.

2. The Blank Matters

Thin scratchy shirts get donated after two wears. We use Gildan unisex blanks — consistently soft, hold shape after washing, 15 colors. Nothing fancy, just reliably good.

 

3. Sizing Is Unisex — Size Up If Unsure

Our tees run a bit relaxed. If you're between sizes, go up one. A slightly oversized funny tee looks intentional. A too-tight one does not.

 

4. Print Quality Has to Last

All OnDemandTees prints are made fresh in the USA using direct-to-garment printing. We print to order, not in bulk — so nothing sits in a warehouse and quality stays consistent.

 

5. Match the Shirt to the Person

Work-from-home? Great for video calls. Cat person? The cat shirt. Chronically overbooked? The hobbies shirt. The right funny tee says "I know you" without having to explain it.
