It’s a jokes derby this week (aren’t they all, really? It’s either that or Star Wars). I’ve got two entries. If you could head over there and vote I would be most appreciative! Thanks all!

  Burst out laughing when I read the blind prostitute one, love it. Gonna have to check back the rest of the week to see if it made it.
  When did woot change their shirt sizes again?

- @mehbee @Star2236 Haha. I don’t really expect them to print it, but who knows? I didn’t see anything about changing sizes – what are you seeing?

- @mehbee @Star2236 Hmm. Maybe I got you the wrong size? Or it was picked wrong? I know the classic fit is definitely bigger/looser than the fitted style.

  I looked at the tag and it said large and that’s what I would always wear so it would be baggier (if that’s a word) and it seems like men’s size small. Not saying it your fault at all, I was just wondering. I still wear it.

Star2236 said Tue, Mar 2nd 2021 at 1:27pm ET:

I have to ask this and mean no offense to people that LOVE Star Wars but what is with some designers that do every single shirt in star wars style? I used to love star wars as a kid but am sick of them now. Is that just their signature/style when they design? Or they just simply lack creativity and and use Star Wars for everything?

0
- @Star2236 Partially, probably, but Star Wars mash-ups do REALLY well on woot. The artists are simply pandering to what they know will be popular and tends to vote and sell well.
  
  8 out of the top-20 shirts right now is Star Wars (or Mandalorian). Give the people what they want, right?

  Yeah, I guess when your boyfriend puts on Star Wars ALL the fucking time, you tend to get a little sick of it lol.
  
  Star2236 said Tue, Mar 2nd 2021 at 2:26pm ET
  - 2
- @ACraigL @Star2236 Right now, SW/Mando is SUPER popular, but design trends are (slowly) cyclical: woot shirt designs have reflected cats, other cutesy anthropomorphic animals, D&D, Monty Python, Dr. Who, Princess Bride, TMNT, etc etc.
