Shirt.Woot

I'm very font of this design.

ok but do I get a discount for working for Dan Gilbert?

I believe the image is far too large for the text.

This reminds me of my comic sans monster shirt i made a long time ago for the derby. Check it out

Comic Sans Monster

*insert generic MY NAME IS DANIEL TOO OMGOMG!!!!11 comment here*

Maybe there should have been two Daniels back to back?

1=Daniel San
2=Daniel Sans

Also, if you have Greasemonkey, you can install this userscript to make all text on your browser Comic Sans!

...
Probably the most obscure, meaningless, and irrelevant t-shirt woots ever offered.

... ever

If sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, surely font humor is the nerdiest.

:^)

Hilarious; I had to get one!

Ah, you THINK the red is just plain red, but really it is super-undercover-stealth red, like Daniel himself.

It's a gi, not a tunic. I'm just sayin'.

No, the one I just received in my Random Shirt bag beats it by a mile--The building that turns into a robot from Big beats it by a mile. By the way--I love the abject obscurity of the robot shirt AND the status that goes with wearing the worst-selling Woot shirt ever.

It looks like it could be the logo of a bad hibachi joint.

What do we study here?

THE WAY OF THE FIST SIR.

And what is that way?

STRIKE FIRST. STRIKE HARD. NO MERCY SIR.

I can't hear you.

STRIKE FIRST. STRIKE HARD. NO MERCY SIR.

Okay, I admit that neither of those are particularly witty, but at least I tried to be creative. As an added bonus, I just proved to myself that I spend waaay too much time on shirt.woot...

This design is all about text/font. What is text's primary purpose? To be "read".

For my $money$, despair.com has the best Karate Kid Crane Technique t-shirt I've ever seen. Actually found it through a deals.woot a year ago.

Now that shirt had me laughing my but off.

Classic. Congratulations on the print!

As in "red all over."

hahaha! Its so funny!

Now we shall teach you to breathe under water, little grasshopper. You shall be "Daniel Gill Sans".

The writeup hurts me inside a little bit. But of course, that's exactly what you were going for. I believe I've just been nerd sniped. Well done Woot. You win again. You always do.

Bringin' the hatin':

Awful concept.

Not really a pun.

The form of expression in Karate Kid would have been Daniel-san.

Sans (as in the font) means "without." The ordinary usage of "sans" requires mentioning the missing thing (as in sans serif, sans pants, or as an actual witty person pointed out up-thread sans hands and feet [which would have been funny, punny and subtle]).

Reference to the missing serifs is omitted by convention in "Comic Sans," but what is Daniel missing here???

"Sans" used as a combining-form supposed pun on the Japanese familiar term "san?" Well, it doesn't work. At all.

To make things worse, there is a real live person named Daniel Sans. But he's not relevant.

Mega fail.

That said, this shirt bugs me too much to buy--I pronounce sans as rhyming with cans, and Daniel-San would rhyme with pawn.

Pretty sure "sans" is a French word meaning without - in this case, referring to the lack of serifs on the font - and would thus be pronounced correctly for the joke to work.

Also, since it's French, you wouldn't really pronounce the s anyway, so Daniel-san and Daniel Sans would be pretty much the same thing, albeit the former would be said with a Japanese accent and the latter with a French accent.

Either way, I'm not planning on buying the shirt, but the joke is glorious.

I'm guessing this doesn't bode well for the chances my "Drag Me To Helvetica" shirt will print any time soon.

Pfft, if that's the Karate Kid (Danielsan-style), then where's the blood dripping from his face? Everybody knows that, like Rocky before him, Daniel preferred to block with his face.

Says the pronunciation is "sanz".

Must buy. My husband calls our son Daniel-san. And I complain about comic sans every chance I get. But can I handle seeing it on my kid's chest? Hmm...

+1 to all the font puns. I'm tempted to buy it just for its obscurity. The last shirt.woot I purchased that was not random was:



And no one gets that one either.

I guess I'll have to speak up for stuffy old pedants everywhere: Comic Sans is not a font, it is a typeface. Comic Sans bold is a font within the typeface family of Comic Sans. There, I said it!

By displaying comic sans with one of the greatest moves in a motion picture since the Road House Heart Scene, makes me want to not only wear this shirt but write everything I can in this font style.

Wait... Miyagi was Papyrus? Ugh. I hate that font too.

When I was a kid, I used to think that the Karate Kid was the best movie ever, but now that I'm grown up, I now know that Police Academy 4, Citizens on Patrol is the best movie ever.

Combining my hate for the improper use of comic sans and my name being Daniel.. I had to get this.

More importantly, the former is pronounced more like "son"

krie wrote:More importantly, the former is pronounced more like "son"

Exactly! They AREN'T pronounced the same.

Which is hardly a fatal flaw for a pun, but I ask again:

* We know what's "sans" in Comic Sans -- serifs.
* What is Daniel missing here to complete the pun?

I'd say what's missing is something comic.

I mean, sans serif DOES mean without feet. I'm glad someone else was vexed.

Name the jokes that are combined.

I saw, I chuckled, I want..
First shirt.woot completed.

I merely bought one for my son because his name is Daniel and I thought he'd like the shirt...
