From airbrushed novelties and tacky tourist tees to raglan ringers and stupid slogans, film's most amazing — and ridiculous — prop tees take center stage in a new supercut, as stitched together from 103 total movies and along a messy multitude of shared and overlapping thematic threads.
While I probably wouldn't describe the curatorial process as scientific, designs were included for the following attributes: Message, font, color, pattern, cut, rarity, comedic value, plot significance, visibility, screen time, how strongly they are associated with the character that wore them, and, hold onto your butts, ~~personal preference~~.
Because I'm not a garment Nazi, some tank tops, henleys, and hooded sweatshirts have been filtered into the mix. Fight me or something.

Didn't see your favorite seen-on-screen t-shirt? It's probably in Part 1, which was edited in 2013 and received a modest amount of viral link love at the time of its release.
Concept, research, and editing by Travis Greenwood (spoiler alert: is me!) with some help from Robert Jones and Brett Roberts. Want a supercut of your own? I'm available for commissions!
