Novelty t-shirts probably started as a costume for children that has evolved for the man-child--that our culture tolerates today as acceptable.
It's true that most every guy I know has owned something like this during his life…either forced upon him by his mother or as a joke for Halloween/80's-themed costume.
My last shirt was probably from my days as a raver. But that was a long time ago.
YES
Say hasta la vista to your little friend the novelty t-shirt. It should only be taken out as a prop for a gag photo but not worn for real life.

You make your living off designing these shirts. Can you at least trompe l'oeil the matching tuxedo sweatpants? Because together it's fashion. Separately, it's sad.
