Sorry, this product is not available.


Upbeat T-shirts are all well and good but the fact is life sucks. So why walk around with a chestful of cheery messages and 'I'm mad, I am!' maxims when you can wear a gloriously pessimistic Despair T-Shirt?

Despair T-Shirts

NEW! - "More people have read this shirt than your blog."

Made by our good friends at Despair Inc., creators of the soul-crushingly depressing Demotivators range of products, each high-quality shirt bears an ingeniously cynical image that is as sublime as it is devastating.

Despair T-Shirts

"Irony" ...It's just science!

First up there's Irony, a garment that succinctly pricks the idiotic balloon of so-called satire seen on many supposedly cool T-shirts. Depicting the entry for iron from the periodic table ('irony' geddit?) this smart T will appeal to anyone who found that Alannis Morrissette song deeply annoying. After all, there's nothing remotely ironic about needing a knife and winding up with 10,000 spoons. Iron on the other hand is undeniably irony. So there.

:-(

Next up there's Potential. This knowing T-shirt depicts a large order of fries above the message 'Not everyone gets to be an astronaut when they grow up.' Need we say more? Probably not because burger flippers have managers who have bosses who have lawyers.

"Potential - Not everyone gets to be an astronaut when they grow up"

Despair T-Shirts

...Fries with that?

Despair T-Shirts have been carefully designed so that you can skip the delusions induced by glib motivational messages and head straight for the inevitable disappointments that follow. Which in words of one syllable means they're funny, tongue-in-cheek and much smarter than the average T. (Okay, some of those words contain more than one syllable).

Ideal for under-achievers, loafers, cynics and anybody who hates, well, everything, Despair T-Shirts are set to become must-have apparel as the world sinks into an ever deepening pit of despair. So what are you waiting for? Unleash the power of mediocrity - in style. Oh yes, and cheer up for gawd's sake!

Visitor Reviews...

visitor avatar Please start selling the 'irony' t-shirts again! They're brilliant and by the sounds of it I'm sure lots of people, including me, will purchase one.
Hannah, UK - 1st February 2010
Firebox says: We try to keep a fresh range of stock at all times but glad to know you're a fan of these! Keep looking on this page just in case we get them back.
visitor avatar Please bring back the Irony T-shirt. It would be perfect to wear in my chemistry/astrophysics lectures.
Cayden, UK - 7th December 2009
Firebox says: We are glad you liked it. If it does make a come back, details will go on the website.
visitor avatar Please please sell the irony t shirt again. Gutted it's no longer available and showing the photo of it is just cruel.
Julia, London - 20th November 2009
visitor avatar Love the idea, the shirts look brilliant! But are you still selling the "irony" ones? There isnt a selection.
Kieran Sanderson, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk - 15th June 2009
Firebox says: Unfortunately we no longer sell that design. Sorry!
visitor avatar Love the design but disappointed with the sizing. The large t-shirt I received is just 42in meaning that it is a very very close fit on a 42in chest and I had to send it back.
Gill, Newcastle - 12th December 2007
visitor avatar Iron T-Shirt: excellent gift for anybody studying chemistry/science or even English/philosophy. I really hope there will be more despair t-shirts, especially ones taken from the despair calendar.
