Last time I got a fantastic Kermit the frog shirt! I’d love to get the same one since we gave it away for a b-day gift. Coupon used for a $3 score, can’t complain about that!
@medz@sammydog01 When first scrolling through this thread I thought to myself that I wouldn’t mind if I ended up with a charmander. Feels pretty lucky that it showed up today, especially since I only got one shirt this go.
Everyone said I would get an awful shirt. I am quite happy with what arrived today. One classic meh… logo shirt and the Einstein face in equations. Next time I’m getting more! Thanks MEH for all the useless IRK coupons.
Second random shirt Monty Python theme I’ve gotten. First one a few months ago was the Black Knight VS! Arcade Fight shirt from the Holy Grail. This one is from the Life of Brian. I’m glad I’m old enough to recognize them otherwise it’s just an average optimistic shirt. Nothing special about the design. Kinda plain so I understand why it didn’t sell well.

@braveit1 Actually what happens is that Mediocritee prints extra shirts in case of mishaps and for additional sales as designs are available for a couple weeks after debut. These random sales are these purposeful overruns.
Just got my mystery t-shirt and found a post/picture on IG. Reminds me of MY gear-head days WAY back in the day. It’s designed by @ Arinsart (on Instagram) if you’re interested in checking out their other stuff.
I personally would’ve loved to get anything with animals or insects but for a nightshirt this is great too! My last mystery t-shirt was Kermit the frog, LOVED IT!
@narfcake So this is probably going to be a silly question, at least I feel silly asking it but here it goes. How do you search things out, like is there a specific place to go? I usually go to Google and ask what I’m looking for and I’ll include the words meh .com. That’s the ONLY way I know, unless it’s something recent and then I’ll scroll down the forum titles. Thanks in advance for any tips.
Mystery shirts used to be my favorite thing (2nd to irks) and I think this is gonna be my last purchase. If I wanted to buy these shirts 6 months ago I would have (no offense to the people who made them at all) but I do it in hopes of getting something that’s old and hasn’t been seen in a long time. If your gonna reprint down the line of shirts at least give me a cool Halloween or Xmas one I’m kicking my self for not buying.
@Star2236 It’s not reprints, but the extra shirts that were preprinted in case of mishaps and for additional sales as designs are available for a couple weeks after debut. These random sales are these purposeful overruns.
Back in the days, shirt.woot had a randoms trading thread. Maybe it’s time for that to be a thing here?
@Star2236 Because I’m a shirt nerd and I understand how print shops operate?
It makes zero economic sense to go through the hassles of reimaging the screens, setting up the print machine, and remixing inks just to reprint a fresh batch of a few shirts to sell at a discount sale.
@narfcake@Star2236 narfcake is correct about the shirts. Once we pull a design from the press we rarely go back to print them again. In many cases, it’s not possible as we no longer have the rights to print more (all of our artists retain full rights to the designs following their run, which gives them the opportunity to sell them through a variety of other venues). When we do the random batch they’re the extra prints we have remaining from more recent design runs.
That’s not to say that there are no older designs in the leftovers bin, but the chances of you getting one are very rare as there are so few of them and so many shirts being sold.
@narfcake@Star2236
That brought me back to the 9th grade when I first learned that whole printing process. I love watching those videos, thanks for sharing!
I also think that idea of having a trading thread where we can swap shirts is a great idea! I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for sure!
Got my shirts today. Not sure how it worked out but my husband got a star wars themed shirt and he is beyond excited. He was skeptical of my buying a shirt for him without knowing the design but it really is perfect and he will definitely wear it.

Used a coupon. Bet you didn’t anticipate that, meh!
/giphy take-that
Just realized they could now send me the worst shirt…
@medz Aw crap I could have used my $5 coupon didnt think of that.
@medz where are these coupons coming from?
@johntmeche3 They had an IRK-athon that gave buyers coupons in $5 increments equivalent to the purchase price.
@johntmeche3
/giphy my-butt
@medz I bought 3 shirts individually…3 codes and 3 shirts less than $10.
@medz @yerti I bought two, thinking about a third.
@yerti you rock!
@drewesque @johntmeche3 Nice! And, as much as I end up “oh god what did I just order” ing, handy!
$3 Meh shirts!

@PHRoG that’s what I did.
/giphy flattering-curvy-bucket
Fool me once… or twice…. Every single random shirt I’ve ever received has been awful.
@cinoclav I was tempted. Then I remembered how it went before.
@Stumpy91 And it makes it so much worse when you see others post the really cool shirts they received.

/giphy listless-grateful-paint
Since I could go years without wearing the same shirt already, I don’t need anymore.
However …

3 bucks for a shirt…fuck yea!

Sure, use a prepaid $5. coupon and add $3. Gamble!

Okay, I gave in.

I thought the Charmander was printed backwards, but I guess that’s a design choice…

Turn my back for a second…
@medz Da Vinci had a long history of Mirror Writing. The Vitruvian Man was just the most famous work he included it on.
@medz I love that charmander.

I got a @jasneko resolutions cat shirt, and I didn’t have even one. SCORE!
@sammydog01 Hooray! The design was sold from this sale:
@narfcake I bought that one full price. Worth it.
@sammydog01 Likewise. At some point, I ought to count up how many @jasneko shirts I have, as I should around the 3 month mark.
I’m wearing this one today.
@jasneko @narfcake @sammydog01 I want it in a pullover hoodie or even a sweatshirt.
@speediedelivery Maybe in the future? Right now, Mediocritee is mainly focused on t-shirts.
@sammydog01 Awesome!!
POPSOCKETS! COURT DOCKETS! FOLK ROCK HITS! AWESOME!
@narfcake @sammydog01 Awww gee shucks!
And I’d be interested to know the count!
@jasneko @narfcake @sammydog01
I LOVE that cat shirt, good score!

@narfcake still kinda plain just being text. Not very creative. But the movie brings back memories.
@narfcake more of a Bewitched intro than a Monty Python look.
@braveit1 That song is on my Just Dance playlist. I dance to Cthulhu.
Mine arrived today:
Futureling from an Omnibus sale:
Ping Pong Training Camp from Life is Like a Box of Tees:
Building Better Worlds from Termination Swag:
All in all not too shabby. I would be proud to show up on a Teams call in any of these torso coverings!
Best $1 ever spent…

@Lynnerizer This is the sale it originated from:
@narfcake
Thanks so much! Someday I’ll learn how/where to search out this stuff! Until then, I’ll just continue to leave it to the professionals!
@Lynnerizer The how/where is just from the Mediocritee forum, as I don’t remember every single design that has sold here.
@narfcake So this is probably going to be a silly question, at least I feel silly asking it but here it goes. How do you search things out, like is there a specific place to go? I usually go to Google and ask what I’m looking for and I’ll include the words meh .com. That’s the ONLY way I know, unless it’s something recent and then I’ll scroll down the forum titles. Thanks in advance for any tips.
@Lynnerizer @narfcake I use the search box in the dropdown at the top right of the forum page.
Went for a single this time, and the answer is 42.
@narfcake IT ME!

@narfcake
How do you know that? About the shirts.
@Star2236 Because I’m a shirt nerd and I understand how print shops operate?
It makes zero economic sense to go through the hassles of reimaging the screens, setting up the print machine, and remixing inks just to reprint a fresh batch of a few shirts to sell at a discount sale.
As an example of the print process:
@narfcake @Star2236 narfcake is correct about the shirts. Once we pull a design from the press we rarely go back to print them again. In many cases, it’s not possible as we no longer have the rights to print more (all of our artists retain full rights to the designs following their run, which gives them the opportunity to sell them through a variety of other venues).

@ExtraMedium @narfcake
Thank you both. Now that I have a better understanding of it I will do it again.
@Lynnerizer @narfcake
Yes I have a few shirts to trade.
@Star2236 For the record, your shirts came from these events:
Love my mystery Mediocritee tee! Perfect for me.
