Funny T-Shirt Quotes: 88 Original One-Liners

"Funny t shirt quotes" mostly turns up the same handful of lines resold on fifty different shirts, slogans you've already seen, with nobody's own voice in them.

Every line below is original, written for this list, grouped by the kind of day it suits. Pick one, type it into the studio text tool exactly as written or swap a word for your own, choose a font and placement, and order one shirt. For a line built entirely around your own name, the name t-shirt page covers that on its own.

These aren't ranked, just grouped by mood, so skim to whichever one matches your day. A few of the strongest lines are also built out below into full studio prompts, typography direction included, with a word in brackets wherever you'd swap it for your own.

Getting the typography right

A quote tee lives or dies on how the type is set, more than the line itself. The exact same words in the wrong font, the wrong size or the wrong place can read as an afterthought instead of a design. Four things decide which one you end up with.

• Font choice. Bold condensed sans for anything you want read in half a second, jokes and sarcasm mostly. A plain serif for a quieter line you want to feel considered rather than loud. Save script fonts for short lines, three or four words at most, since handwriting gets harder to read the longer it runs.
• Size: chest versus back. A chest print reads face to face, so keep it to one or two short lines and size it to stay legible up close without shouting. A back print is read from a distance, so it can run bigger and carry a longer line.
• Line breaks. Break at a natural pause in the sentence, not mid-word or mid-phrase. Two to three lines is the practical limit before a one-liner starts reading like a paragraph.
• Colour contrast. Light ink on a dark shirt, dark ink on a light shirt, always. Check the actual garment colour you're ordering in the studio preview before you commit; a line that reads fine on the default white preview can disappear on black.
