April 2013′s New T-Shirts

Jason — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 22:58:25 +0000

There were many new t-shirts added to our range in the month of April. Our impressive range of funny, geeky and nerdy t-shirts was bolstered even further with 7awesome new tees. If you haven’t seen them already, you’re going to want to check out the cool new geek and nerd t-shirts below:

Ze Plane! Ze Plane! – Fantasy Island – Geeky T-Shirt

Now you can relive everyone’s fantasy… Fantasy island that is! This hilarious t-shirt inspired by the catchphrase of 1980′s TV show character Tattoo can be yours for just £11.99. What are you waiting for?

I See Dead Pixels – The Sixth Sense – Geeky T-Shirt

I still haven’t seen The Sixth Sense, though it’s been on to “to watch” list for a while. I’m just waiting until I’ve forgotten the “Bruce Willis was dead the whole time” spoiler people keep dishing out (apologies if I’ve gotten you too). Anyway, seen it or not I’m sure you’re all familiar with the catchphrase “I see dead people”. Scary stuff, but it pales in comparison to the nerd equivalent: “I see dead pixels” perish the thought!

Everybody’s Dead, Dave – Red Dwarf – Nerdy T-Shirt

If you’re a Red Dwarf fan then you’re probably familiar with this amusing back and forth between Holly and Lister, but I’m sure you’ll appreciate the opportunity to refresh your memory. If you’re not a Red Dwarf fan, well, watch it anyway, maybe you’ll be converted!

Triforce – The Legend of Zelda – Geeky T-Shirt

Zelda fans will enjoy this cool addition to our range. If you’re a fan of the popular Nintendo game series then you’ll surely recognise the triforce logo and be desperate to benefit from the gifts of Power, Courage and Wisdom granted to it’s recipient. If that’s not enough to make you want to buy this t-shirt I don’t know what is.

Keep Calm and Call 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3 – The IT Crowd – Funny T-Shirt

Things have been a little confusing ever since the emergency services changed their number from 999 to 0118 999 881 999 119 7253, but thanks to this great new t-shirt inspired by The IT Crowd, you’ll never forget it again.

You Talkin’ To Me? (Mirrored) – Taxi Driver – Funny T-Shirt

If you’re looking to re-enact De Niro’s famous scene and you don’t have a jacket big enough to conceal a weapon, then this awesome t-shirt is surely the next best thing. For best results, stand in front of a mirror (duh).

Double R Diner (RR Diner) – Twin Peaks – Geeky T-Shirt

If you’re a Twin Peaks fan then I’m sure the Double R Diner is very close to your heart. Heck, if it was real I’d be down there like a shot for a piece of Norma’s pie. Sadly we’ll just have to live vicariously through this delightful t-shirt.

We hope you liked April’s new t-shirts. Fear not, there’s still plenty more to come in May and beyond, so keep an eye on us at:

10 Gaming T-Shirt’s That’ll Have You Button-bashing Your Way to the Checkout!

Jason — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 22:52:30 +0000

Who doesn’t love Video Games? Not us that’s for sure. We’ve got a fantastic selection of Gaming t-shirts across our stores, here are 10 of our current favourites:

Man of Low Moral Fiber – Monkey Island – Nerdy T-Shirt

Monkey Island was one of the leading games in the point-and-click adventure genre that was pretty big in the 1990′s. If you’re familiar with the popular series of games, you’ll know that the phrase “Men of Low Moral Fiber” refers to Pirates, the phrase being used for a group of down-on-their-luck pirates on the first two games of the series. If you’re a fan of the game, or indeed just a scurvy suffering old sea dog, then this t-shirt is a bit of must have gaming memorabilia.

Plastic Pirate – Lego Skull and Crossbones – Geeky T-Shirt

Sticking with the Pirate theme we have this amusing LEGO themed offering. Whether you’re of the old-school LEGO brick playing variety, or if you’re a fan of the recent trend of LEGO video games, it’s hard not to like the loveable plastic bricks (though if you’ve stood on one barefooted on the stairs it can be a stern test for the friendship). Anyway, we think you’ll agree this LEGO themed skull & crossbones tee is adorable (you’d better, or we’ll make you walk the plastic plank).

The Konami Code – Geeky T-Shirt

Do you recognise this code? Well, if you’ve ever played (and cheated) on a Konami game then you’ve probably come accross it at some point. This now infamous code has been featured in dozens of Konami’s top titles over the years in titles such as: Contra, Gradius, Castlevania, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill. This geeky t-shirt is sure to spark a few conversations with fellow gamers when you’re out an about.

I’m Not a Geek, I’m a Level 9 Warlord – Geeky T-Shirt

This amusing t-shirt can have many uses, whether you enjoy role playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons or whether you prefer a MMORPG such as World of Warcraft, you can let your fellow geeks know that you’re good for a laugh with this ironic gag.

Triforce – The Legend of Zelda – Geeky T-Shirt

Sent down by the goddesses for us mere mortals to benefit from, the Triforce gives Power, Courage and Wisdom to it’s recipient. We can’t promise our t-shirt will give you the same benefits but if you’re a fan of the excellent Zelda series of games then we think you’ll still get a lot of good from owning this cool t shirt.

Space Invader – Geeky T-Shirt

The most classic of games, this one doesn’t really need any introduction. If you like the idea of walking around with a Space Invader on your t-shirt, this ones for you. We can’t promise you won’t be shot at with laser cannons while wearing it, but if you move left a bit, down, right a bit, down you should be safe.

85% of Pie Charts Resemble Pac-Man – Nerdy T-Shirt

There’s very little we can say about this that the title doesn’t already cover. 85% of pie charts really do resemble Pac-Man. It’s as hilarious as it is factual.

Eat, Sleep, Game – Geeky T-Shirt

I can’t speak for the rest of you guys, but personally this is 3 of my favourite pastimes right here. I’ll keep this brief ‘cos all this blogging is cutting into my Super Monkey Ball time (not a euphemism).

Shoryuken – Street Fighter – Nerdy T-Shirt

Street Fighter was one of those genre-defining games of a generation, in this case the fighting game genre. Maybe it’s an anomaly that’s unique to me, or maybe it is a reflection on the games’ scarcity but I don’t know anyone besides myself who played Street Fighter at the time of it’s release in the late 1980′s. The majority of it’s fans seemed to jump on the bandwagon in the early 1990′s upon the release of Street Fighter II. If you’re a fan of the series you’ll know there were two famous special attacks done by main protagonists Ryu and Ken, the Hadouken and our favourite, the Shoryuken.

Real Friends Help You Kill Zombies – Geeky T-Shirt

The Zombie Apocalypse is imminent… Isn’t it?! Ok, maybe we’ve got a few years yet, but all the more reason to get some practice in on the Zombie video games. Whether your poison be Resident Evil, Left 4 Dead, The Walking Dead, Dead Island, Dead Rising, House of the Dead or one of the countless other Zombie fanchises, it really is better with friends, so as the t-shirt says, real friends help you kill zombies.

This concludes another one of our delightful top 10′s. Rest assured there’s plenty more where this came from, so keep checking back for more.

March 2013′s Best Sellers

Jason — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 22:49:33 +0000

Once again, we’ve aggregated all of the data from our various selling platforms including: TeesBox, Nerd T-Shirts UK, Offensive T-Shirts UK, Funny T-Shirts For Men, Amazon.co.uk, Play.com and Redbubble and here we have for you our definitive list of March 2013′s top 10 best sellers.

March was an exciting Month, we had a sale at TeesBox which was a huge success and is reflected by the number of non-geeky t-shirts in the Top 10 compared to previous months where they have dominated the sales rankings. We’ve also had other topical days such as Easter, St. Patrick’s Day and Pi day which have yielded sales for t-shirts in these genres.

So here we have it, the top 10 is:

#10 – Ford Fuck – Rude T-Shirt

Ford Fuck – Rude T-Shirt

Do people really hate Ford’s? Or is it just funny seeing a profanity in the form of a familiar logo? Either way, these hilarious tees have been flying out recently, and were the 10th best seller for March 2013.

#9 – Jerk Funny T-Shirt

Jerk – Funny T-Shirt

Whether you are wearing it ironically, or you really are a Jerk, I’m sure those reading this t-shirt will appreciate the warning.

#8 – Not A Happy Bunny Funny T-Shirt

Not A Happy Bunny – Funny T-Shirt

Maybe it’s an Easter thing, but this humorous bunny related t-shirt has been very popular of late. Who could blame bunnies for being a little depressed this time of year? The price of eggs have gone through the roof.

#7 – Trust Me I’m An Engineer – Geeky T-Shirt

Trust Me I’m An Engineer – Nerdy T-Shirt

The engineer’s are out in force once again and this t-shirt finds itself back in the top 10 for the first time since January. What are all these engineers planning you ask? Should we be worried? I think it’s safe to trust them if they’re wearing the appropriate attire (see above).

#6 – i8 Sum Pi (I Ate Some Pie) and it was Delicious – Geeky T-Shirt

i8 Sum Pi (I Ate Some Pie) and it was Delicious – Geeky T-Shirt

Only added in late March 2013, this funny t-shirt had it’s work cut out to make it into the top 10, so it’s highly impressive that it managed such a feat. Maybe Pi Day (3.14 – March 14th) had something to do with it’s roaring success, or maybe people just really enjoy pie eating jokes. It’s a mystery!

#5 – 42 – Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – Geeky T-Shirt

42 – Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – Geeky T-Shirt

Is it really the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything? If the number of sales are anything to go by, we believe it must be true!

#4 – I Beat Anorexia Funny T-Shirt

I Beat Anorexia – Funny T-Shirt

We’re not sure what is causing such an upturn in sales for this funny t-shirt. Maybe you’ve overindulged on Easter eggs, or maybe you’ve packed on a few pounds over the winter period. Either way this hilarious t-shirt has been selling like hot cakes (sorry porky, you’ll have to get the cakes elsewhere).

#3 – Save Ferris – Ferris Bueller’s Day Off – Funny T-Shirt

Save Ferris – Ferris Bueller’s Day Off- Funny T-Shirt

This was always one of our most popular movie t-shirts, but March has seen it reach new heights and soar into the top half of our Top 10 best selling tees.

#2 – Poker, She’ll Love It Funny T-Shirts

Poker – She’ll Love It – Rude T-Shirt

Poker She’ll Love It is an old favourite at TeesBox, we’ve been selling it for years so it’s great to see this hilariously rude t-shirt having a bit of a renaissance and finding it’s way to 2nd in the charts for March.

#1 – The Big Bang Theory – Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock – Geeky T-Shirt

The Big Bang Theory – Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock – Geeky T-Shirt

The Big Bang Theory t-shirts are quite recent additions to our range, but they’ve been very well received so far and this one in particular has been immensely popular. If you’ve ever played Rock, Paper, Scissors and found it to be a little inadequate, then we think you’ll find this variation of the game, inspired by hit TV show The Big Bang Theory to be a very fun alternative. The arrows on the t-shirt indicate the many permutations of which of the five gestures beats the other.

That’s all for now. What will April bring? Who knows, it’s not too late to have your say. Get buying now!

March 2013′s New T-Shirts

Jason — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 21:15:21 +0000

It’s been a busy month here at TeesBox HQ, March 2013 has seen us as a whopping 13 new t-shirts to our range! Our impressive range of funny, geeky and nerdy t-shirts was bolstered even futher with the following hilarious tees:

Nothing is Impossible with the Right Attitude…And a Hammer – Funny T-Shirt

Whether you’re a (not so) handy-man or just a raging psychopath, we think most guys can relate to this. They say a bad workman blames his tools, so it’s only fair to give credit where it’s due when the tools do good and more often than not the hammer comes up trumps.

Plastic Pirate – Lego Skull and Crossbones – Geeky T-Shirt

Maybe you’re no Johnny Depp, but if you consider yourself a bit of a plastic pirate then this Lego inspired geeky t shirt is the one for you. Arrrgh!

Ketracel White – Star Trek Deep Space Nine – Geeky T-Shirt

If you’re a Star Trek fan looking to get your fix of white, then this Deep Space Nine inspired t shirt should be just what the doctor ordered. Take it easy, it’s highly addictive!

Ho Lee Chit – Rude T-Shirt

If you’re one of those people who’s first instinct when picking up a foreign translation dictionary is to look up rude words, then this is a great t-shirt for you! We can’t guarantee it’s linguistically correct, or even politically correct for that matter, but it is funny.

Buffet Slayer – Buffy the Vampire Slayer – Geeky T-Shirt

Never let it be said we don’t cater for a broad range of demographics here at TeesBox. If you’re an overeating, Buffy the Vampire Slayer watching, t-shirt wearing Man (Sized Small to XXL) or Woman (Sized 10 or 12) then we have a t-shirt you’ll either like or dislike. We’re good to you.

I Don’t Know What Is Right, I Don’t Know What Is Wrong, I Don’t Even Know What Is Going On – Funny T-Shirt

We all get a little confused at times, this amusing t-shirt lets people know you might not be firing on all cylinders. We find this one especially handy when you’ve had a few too many beers.

Knock, Knock, Knock… PENNY! – The Big Bang Theory – Geeky T-Shirt

Are you an OCD door-knocker like Sheldon Cooper? Or maybe you’re just a big fan of the show. Either way this funny t-shirt is a great piece of Big Bang Theory memorabilia.

Of Course I Don’t Look Busy, I Did It Right The First Time – Funny T-Shirt

Are you always right? Or maybe you know someone who thinks they are? Whether it’s for you to wear proudly yourself or an ironic gift for a know it all friend, you can’t go wrong with this funny t shirt.

i8 Sum Pi (I Ate Some Pie) and it was Delicious – Geeky T-Shirt

Half the fun in a t-shirt like this is having to explain the punchline to those less mentally endowed. You’re bound to get a few laughs at the Maths Society Pie Eating Jamboree, too (please let that be a real thing).

In Space No One Can Hear Your Phone Home – Alien / E.T. – Geeky T-Shirt

A homage to two of the greatest alien movie franchises of all time comes this E.T. and Alien amalgamation into one hilariously nerd t shirt. A must have for fans of the movie’s.

Clever Girl – Jurassic Park – Funny T-Shirt

The now infamous scene from Jurassic Park has found popularity recently as an Internet meme. Of course that’s nothing compared to the prestige of having a TeesBox t-shirt designed in your honour!

I’m Only Doing This For Charity – Funny T-Shirt

Now you can get away with whatever antics you want to under the guise of charity with this funny t-shirt.

The Konami Code – Geeky T-Shirt

Has there been a Konami game that didn’t use this cheat? Certainly not many, so save yourself the hassle of remembering it, get this t-shirt, a mirror and wait patiently for the next instalment of Metal Gear Solid…

We hope you liked March’s new t-shirts. Fear not, there’s still plenty more to come in April and beyond, so keep an eye on us at:

February 2013′s Best Sellers

Jason — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 14:21:05 +0000

Once again, we’ve aggregated all of the data from our various selling platforms including: TeesBox, Nerd T-Shirts UK, Offensive T-Shirts UK, Funny T-Shirts For Men, Amazon.co.uk and Play.com and here we have for you our definitive list of February 2013′s top 10 best sellers.

Now, what was hot last month isn’t necessarily hot right now, but if you like to try and keep up with the trends then this is the list for you. If you already own one or more of these, well then you can officially consider yourself a trend setter! Go ahead and brag in the comments section below.

Without further ado, the much awaited top 10 is:

#10 – There Are 10 Types Of People In This World: Those Who Understand Binary & Those Who Don’t T-Shirt

There Are 10 Types Of People In This World: Those Who Understand Binary & Those Who Don’t T-Shirt

A new entry into the chart for a t-shirt we’ve been selling since we launched. It seems binary is having somewhat of a renaissance so why not grab this super cool t-shirt now?

#9 – Zombie Outbreak Response Team – Nerdy T-Shirt

Zombie Outbreak Response Team – Nerdy T-Shirt

Zombie’s a very “in” right now. Whether you are enjoying the popular TV series The Walking Dead, a George Romero classic or one of the many popular Zombie related video games, there’s plenty of Zombie related goodness to sink your teeth into of late, so there’s no surprise to see this fabulous zombie related t-shirt enter this month’s chart.

#8 – And On The 8th Day God Made 3.5 Billion Year Old Fossils T-Shirt

And On The 8th Day God Made 3.5 Billion Year Old Fossils – Funny T-Shirt

With the current Pope related happenings there’s no surprise to see an upturn in atheism, and the non-believers were out in force in February buying these humorous tees. Another new entry in the charts!

#7 – Fuck You, You Fuckin’ Fuck – Obscene T-Shirt

Fuck You, You Fuckin’ Fuck – Obscene T-Shirt

We’re not sure what’s caused the upturn in this t-shirt’s fortunes, maybe something about February just gets peoples backs up. Could be be the manufactured holiday that makes the single miserable and seperates to couples from their money? Or maybe it’s that the Xmas and New Year period seem a million miles away? Could be the miserable weather? Take your pick. Either way, we approve.

#6 – The Knights Who Say Ni

The Knights Who Say Ni – Monty Python – Nerdy T-Shirt

It’s back! January’s top seller has dropped to 6th place, though we can’t be too hard on it as it’s only one of 3 of January’s top 10 to make the cut in February .

#5 – Ah Go On, Go On, Go On – Father Ted T-Shirt

Ah Go On, Go On, Go On – Father Ted – Geeky T-Shirt

It’s many years since Father Ted left our screens, but the shows popularity remains strong as evidenced by this new entry at #5 for February. Or maybe our customers just really like cups of tea…

#4 – Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again? – The IT Crowd – Funny T-Shirt

Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again? – The IT Crowd – Funny T-Shirt

Building on January’s success, this funny t-shirt based on the popular quote from the TV series “The IT Crowd” was the biggest mover in the charts, moving up a whopping 4 places.

#3 – SILF – Rude T-Shirt

SILF – Rude T-Shirt

This hilariously rude t-shirt has been in our collection for years, and has always been a steady seller so it’s nice to see it reliving some of it’s past glories and climbing up the charts in this last month.

#2 – Not A Happy Bunny – Funny T-Shirt

Not A Happy Bunny – Funny T-Shirt

Another old classic here, the Not a Happy Bunny t-shirt has had a resurgence in the last month or so, becoming our 2nd top seller for the month.

#1 – I Drive at 88mph… Just In Case T-Shirt

I Drive at 88mph… Just In Case – Back to the Future – Nerdy T-Shirt

If you read our recent blog post entitled “Our Top 10 Movie Related Tees” then you won’t be surprised to see this t-shirt finally grab the top spot. It’s been pushing it close for the last few months and came a close second to The Knights Who Say Ni in last month’s count.

What will March bring? Who knows, it’s not too late to have your say. Get buying now!

10 Cover Songs That Were Better Than the Original

Jason — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 00:51:58 +0000

Who doesn’t love cover songs? The recording artist has the majority of the work already done for them, the original artist gets homage (and no doubt, royalties) paid to them and the listeners get to enjoy an old favourite being re-imagined . Of course it doesn’t always go to plan – in the wrong hands that old classic can be butchered beyond belief – but occasionally the cover turns out to be even better than the original.

Of course, musical taste can be very subjective, and you’re welcome to give your opinions in the comment section below, but in my opinion here are 10 cover songs that improved upon the original rendition:

I Fought The Law – The Clash

They may have lost their fight with the law, but in a battle against the likes of The Crickets (of Buddy Holly fame), The Bobby Fuller Four, Johnny Cash, Green Day and even those loveable scamps Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Clash come out on-top. Their version of I Fought the Law is undoubtedly the best.

Original Version – The Crickets

Cat’s In The Cradle – Ugly Kid Joe

A cautionary tale for any neglectful father or son, it’s hard not to feel a little emotional listening to this (and I don’t even have kids). Ugly Kid Joe didn’t have many hits that didn’t involve them hating everything, but this is an excellent take on a song you’ve probably heard many times over the years having been featured on TV shows such as Family Guy, The Simpson’s, Modern Family, Two and a Half Men and How I Met Your Mother.

Original Version – Harry Chapin

Torn – Natalie Imbruglia

You might not know this, but Natalie Imbruglia’s 1997 hit Torn was a cover of a song released 2 years previously by American alternative rock band Ednaswap. There’s no doubting Natalie’s obvious talents and having already stolen a lot of hearts in Australian soap Neighbours she captured a few more with this grungy-pop song.

Original Version – Ednaswap

Whiskey in the Jar – Metallica

Whiskey in the Jar is an old Irish traditional song, covered by countless artists over the years. It’s hard to pick out a favourite and doing so depends very much on your musical preferences. For consistency and fairness I’ve compared my personal favourite, the Metallica version with the oldest version it most resembles, that of Thin Lizzy in 1972. Both versions are very good but the heavier, more energetic version by Metallica edges it for me.

Original Version – Thin Lizzy

Redemption Song – Joe Strummer

It’s sad to think that both of these immensely talented musicians are no longer with us. While the words undoubtedly mean more coming from Bob Marley, it’s hard not to enjoy Joe Strummer’s effort more, and anyone who can upstage Bob Marley deserves a pat on the back.

Original Version – Bob Marley

Now for a brief intermission….

Pb (Lead) Heavy Metal

I’d Bang It – Funny Rude T-Shirt

As you were…

Somebody to Love – Jim Carrey

You might recognize this song as performed by Jefferson Airplane, in a little rockumentary called “Gimme Shelter,” about the Rolling Stones and their nightmare at Altamont. That night the Oakland chapter of the Hell’s Angels had their way. Tonight, it’s Jim’s turn.

Original Version – Jefferson Airplane

How Soon Is Now – TaTu

I like Morrissey & pals as much as the next guy, but in a contest between depressing Manc boy band The Smiths and Russian lesbian schoolgirl band TaTu it isn’t really a fair fight. As it happens the TaTu’s version is better even with your eyes closed, but where’s the fun in that?

Original Version – The Smiths

Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black) – Oasis

I was once sat in a pub having a nice pint when someone proceeded to put five Neil Young songs in a row on the Jukebox, a very painful experience that still haunts me to this day. Like most people I can tolerate a bit of Neil Young in small doses but it was a bit too much. Anyway, enough about me, here’s an enjoyable cover of Hey Hey, My My by Oasis.

Original Version – Neil Young

Total Eclipse of the Heart – The Dan Band

Sure enough, if you prefer this version of Total Eclipse of the Heart, like I do, you probably aren’t what Bonnie Tyler would consider her target audience. That aside, this is a very amusing and enjoyable cover of an old classic by American comedy band “The Dan Band”.

Original Version – Bonnie Tyler

The Man Who Sold the World – Nirvana

Close one this, as you’d expect in a David Bowie vs. Kurt Cobain face-off, but Cobain edges it for me. His sulky, apathetic style just seems to suit the song – which is essentially quite a downbeat song lyrically, if not musically – a little better. Anyway both versions are equally enjoyable so I suggest you give them both a listen and see which you prefer for yourself.

Original Version – David Bowie

Now that we’ve whetted your appetite, why not treat yourself to one of these Music related tees?

Obscure Band You’ve Never Heard Of – Funny T-Shirt

Let’s Rock – Funny T-Shirt

10 religion themed t-shirts to fill the Pope shaped void in your life

Jason — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 19:14:49 +0000

With the shock news that Pope Benedict XVI has resigned from his post, we think the religious world could do with a lift right now. Here to raise your spirits are your old friends TeesBox with yet another one of our delightful Top 10′s.

This time we’re focussing on religion. Whether you be a Catholic, Buddhist, Satanist, Atheist or Scooby Doo worshipper, we don’t discriminate here, we try not to leave anybody out.

So here we go, in no particular order (who are we to say one religion is better than another?):

Please Lord, Kill Everyone – Offensive T-Shirt

Whether you’re wearing it ironically or you’re a religious nut case, this t-shirt certainly gets it’s message across.

Jesus Saves – CTRL+S – Geeky T-Shirt

A witty play on the traditional religious mantra “Jesus Saves”. Of course computers were rubbish over 2000 years ago, if they did have Microsoft Office it’s likely to have been a DOS version at best so you’d be wise to save fairly frequently.

Body Of A God – Buddha – Funny T-Shirt

You don’t need to have the physique to embrace the Buddhist lifestyle, but if you’re of the rotund persuasion then there are worse deity’s to worship. Sure the Buddhists say there are against a life of excess but if that’s the case how did Buddha’s belly get so big?

I Just Found an Obscure Bible Passage Where Jesus Gives the Thumbs Up to Anal – Rude T-Shirt

The lord works in mysterious ways, or so they say. We guess all the time he spent with prostitute Mary Magdalene rubbed off on him. Here’s one of the commandments we can definitely get behind (pun intended).

Evil Samaritan – Funny T-Shirt

We’re expected to love our neighbours, but I’m sure it was a lot easier in Jesus’ day. He didn’t have to live in ASBO Britain or put up with Dubstep playing full-blast at 3am from the house next door. Good Samaritan, my arse…

Silicon Heaven: Where All The Calculators Go – Red Dwarf – Nerdy T-Shirt

It’s easy to forget when considering the possibility of an afterlife that it might not just be for us Humans. It’s pretty vain to consider ourselves so superior to everything else that it’d be just us. If there wasn’t a Silicon Heaven, where would all the calculators go?

Warning: Cthulhu – Geeky T-Shirt

Cthulhu is definitely one of the cooler gods out there. If I was going to be smited by anyone, I’d want it to be him.

Possessed By Satan – Funny T-Shirt

We can’t forgot about our old pal Satan in all of this. If you believe in God then you’re pretty much bound to believe in his evil nemesis (spoiler alert) The Devil. I won’t go into any more detail in case you haven’t read the book yet, but suffice to say if this guy is possessing you, people around you will appreciate the warning printed on the t-shirt.

And On The 8th Day God Made 3.5 Billion Year Old Fossils – Funny T-Shirt

If science has taught us anything over the years it’s that God is a crafty bugger, always trying to keep us guessing. He must have been laughing his socks off when he planted all those old fossils around 8000 years ago.

Abstinence… 99.99% Effective – Funny T-Shirt

And last but not least we have this one. Was Mary really a Virgin or was she just very unlucky/lucky (I guess giving birth to the son of God isn’t all bad news)? We’ll probably never really know the answer for sure, but it means you can’t 100% trust abstinence as a safe form of contraception!

This concludes another TeesBox Top 10. Goodnight and God bless.

January 2013′s Best Sellers

Jason — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 23:11:47 +0000

We’ve aggregated all of the data from our various selling platforms including: TeesBox, Nerd T-Shirts UK, Offensive T-Shirts UK, Funny T-Shirts For Men, Amazon.co.uk and Play.com and here we have for you our definitive list of January 2013′s top 10 best sellers.

Without further ado, the much awaited top 10 is:

10 – May The Mass x Acceleration Be With You

May The Mass x Acceleration Be With You – Star Wars – Nerdy T-Shirt

A twist on the classic Star Wars mantra “May the Force Be With You”, this geeky t-shirt has been very popular in recent months. With the news of Disney’s purchase of Lucas Film and the subsequent announcements regarding Star Wars: Episode VII, the popular sci-fi franchise has been very much in the news lately, and this has reflected in the popularity of related merchandise across our stores.

9 – I Want To Believe

I Want To Believe – The X-Files – Geeky T-Shirt

Unlike with the Star Wars t-shirt above, there’s been little in the way of X-Files related activity in the news to account for the large amount of sales this t-shirt has received lately. Perhaps it’s a case for Mulder and Scully, or – more likely – a sign that the hit 90′s TV show is still very popular.

8 – Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again?

Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again? – The IT Crowd – Funny T-Shirt

It’s pretty much the go to move when it comes to fixing anything electrical. If that doesn’t work then it probably requires a little more thought. The phrase grained great popularity on the back of Channel 4′s hit TV show “The IT Crowd”, in which it was a phrase often uttered by Roy & Moss of Reynholm Industries’ IT department whenever anyone had the audacity to call up with a computer related problem.

7 – I Came On Eileen

I Came On Eileen – Rude T-Shirt

Surprisingly this was the only t-shirt in our top 10 (which accounted for a whopping 39% of all January’s sales) which wasn’t of a geek/nerd variety. No mean feat. Who are we to argue with Dexys Midnight Runners? There aren’t many Eileen’s around these days (we’re hoping to sell enough t-shirts to give it a bit of a renaissance – fingers crossed) but there sure are a lot of people ready to come on her. Let’s hope she’s game.

6 – Space Invader

Space Invader – Geeky T-Shirt

Not just a classic game, it’s well on it’s way to becoming a classic t-shirt too. If we had a pound for every one of these we’ve sold, well, we’d make a significant loss and probably be on the verge of going bust like HMV and pals, but you get the idea! There aren’t many 1970′s products that are still fashionable Today (no matter how certain you are that pale blue polyester suit is going to come back in style), but the Space Invader stands the test of time.

5 – Stormtrooper Skull and Crossbones

Stormtrooper Skull and Crossbones – Star Wars – Funny T-Shirt

Surprise, surprise, there’s another Star Wars t-shirt in the top 10. This time it’s one of those loveable Stormtrooper’s in the form of a skull and cross bones. It’s a very iconic design, and it’s no surprise to see it amass so many sales in it’s short amount of time since it’s conception last November.

4 – Trust Me I’m An Engineer

Trust Me I’m An Engineer – Nerdy T-Shirt

If the popularity of this t-shirt is anything to go by, we clearly have a lot of fans in the engineering industry. In that case, I think it’s best we try to keep this short and sweet so not to offensd anyone and simply say: We salute you our trustworthy engineer friends.

3 – The Bronze, Sunnydale

The Bronze, Sunnydale – Buffy the Vampire Slayer – Geeky T-Shirt

Buffy had many obvious talents, but we didn’t think longevity was one of them. Slayer’s on the show had a very short shelf-life, with even Buffy herself dying twice (spoiler alert), though her legacy lives on with this much sought after t-shirt! The Bronze was the hottest (only?) club in Sunnydale, California, and was frequented by Buffy and her entourage throughout the show. It seems many fans have been living the dream of going to The Bronze vicariously over the years and now find themselves wanting the commemorative t-shirt to go with it.

2 – I Drive at 88mph… Just In Case

I Drive at 88mph… Just In Case – Back to the Future – Nerdy T-Shirt

If you read our recent blog post entitled “Our Top 10 Movie Related Tees” then you won’t be surprised to see this t-shirt in our top 10 sellers for January. The only real surprise is to see it’s been usurped from the top spot by a surprise contender! Never the less it’s still going strong to say the movie franchise started over 25 years ago.

1 – The Knights Who Say Ni

The Knights Who Say Ni – Monty Python – Nerdy T-Shirt

Drum roll….

What do you mean you already looked at the picture above?! Well then you won’t be surprised to see the Monty Python classic take the prize of January’s top seller. It’s success was so prominent we felt compelled to release two more Monty Python tees post hast. The masses have spoken: Death Awaits You All With Nasty, Big, Pointy Teeth – Monty Python – Geeky T-Shirt & Dead Parrot – This Parrot Is No More – Monty Python – Geeky T-Shirt.

What will February bring? Who knows, it’s not too late to have your say. Get buying now!
