I wish it were regular vikings in a ship instead of these long legged things. Mayhap I simply dont get the joke. Please be explaining to me, per favore.

It's not everyday there is something interesting and weird here, so I'm definitely in for one.

they should do a derby for worst shirt - make it a goal to make a shirt that wouldn't sell if someone paid them.

That sure is a whole lot of ink for not a whole lot of interestingness... That'll be a sticky one in the summertime.

As a Norman, I find the shirt hilarious. I have therefore ordered one and will wear it when next I go out conquering (assuming no Conquest is scheduled before international shipping manages to deliver it).

I hope Sleipnir, Odin's eight-legged horse, will somehow be involved in the delivery process...?

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel as if there should be a burning giraffe somewhere?

The shirt is selling well where the Vikings live: Washington, Minneasota, etc.

Why do they have long underwater legs exactly? Is this like a New Yorker cartoon?

This shirt will do detrimental things to your figure... not liking the big blue square design... but... to each their own

We couldn't have gotten any purple on this shirt, huh? Not even a little?

@Bionic Pickle: I totally agree. I think this one falls flat, at least for me.

Is this...funny? I don't get it. Vikings and long legs, ummm...it fails. Is this, like, based on some cryptic inside joke between the artist and his/her friends? Seriously, I hate to be rude, but I've seen car accidents that killed pets more comical than this. Hell, Ben Stiller "comedies" are funnier. Sorry, this is at that sad "I laughed when I thought of it" level, try again.

Pretty sure I'm the only Woot staff who listens to this music daily, or maybe at all. But, thanks writers, made my day =) Also, Falkenbach - Heathen Foray (number 1 in the video) probably is the best folk metal song ever, if not simply the best song period!

You bring up a good point: this website, dedicated to the wonderful craft of comedy has failed. Because this site can ONLY have comedic shirts, right?

Maybe this is supposed to represent Viking Men o' War.

I don't usually get on in the mornings anymore expecting to like the day's shirt, but I actually like the total randomness of this design. If it had a darker shirt or more distressing in the dark blue ink color so it didn't contrast so sharply with the tshirt color, I would even buy one.

Not every shirt is about "getting it". That doesn't mean you have to like this one, but that doesn't mean it's stupid simply because there's no reference to get.



There doesn't have to be a reference to get, but if there's not, the shirt should make sense or at least be clever in some way.

It's not a reference, it's not clever, and doesn't really make sense. Why someone would buy it, I don't know.

Why does a design on a shirt have to make sense or be clever? Can't a design just be interesting and different?

Well, if you're content with random scribblings, that's your choice. Me? I'm a picky customer. I like the art on my shirts to have some meaning, at least to me; it should either say something, as in have some cerebral and/or emotional payload, be comically amusing, be referential to something I know, or at least be aesthetically pleasing or at least visually complex and intriguing. This shirt met none of those requirements. More than that, I couldn't pick up that it was even at least related in some way to something outside my sphere of taste, and thus its lack of any redeeming qualities earned it the status of tasteless, arbitrary crap. Seeing as to this is a forum that the artists might read, and to which the shirt.woot.com staff I would hope pay attention, I feel it my obligation as a customer to be forthright and honest about my tastes, and encourage the creation of quality products.
