Family shirt prank

385 points fangirlsqueee

This prank is one of my favorites. It gets me laughing every time. So fun to see all the reactions.

I imagine it might be a little tricky to pick the right shirt that a whole group of guys would be willing to wear. Some of them must care at least a little about their own comfort or style.

It’s nice because it keeps on giving as each new person arrives. After the initial moment of surprise upon someone’s arrival, they too then get to join in and wait to see the reaction of the next person. And it’s completely harmless and funny, and makes for a good story.

I think every time I’ve seen this prank it’s been a plaid button down 😂 That must be the easiest one to convince everyone to wear.

Exactly. Its the basic uniform for Christmas/Thanksgiving dinner with your spouse's family. Some sort of basic pattern button down that your wife/girlfriend gave you that morning

this weekend I saw a brown and orange plaid with a horrendously tacky cartoon turkey drawn on the tummy.

definitely not something I'd wear, and as a single queer guy in my mid forties, I don't see anyone in my life who could convince me otherwise. Maaayyybe my brother's kids (11 and 7), but they've never given me any gifts, so I'd definitely be suspicious.

They're men.. 😆 My dad goes EVERYWHERE with a fisher hat, hunter pants, and a comical t-shirt that says some joke about his wife, etc. Doesn't matter where he's going, always the same outfit.

If a wife says "hey wear this shirt I got you for the holiday today." There is 100% chance the guy is going to wear that shit. Whether he likes it or not, is up to him.

Yeah, but if the tags were itchy, if the cuffs were too tight, if a person gets too hot in long sleeves, that kind of thing, I could see someone not wearing it.

Oh, she’s going to make sure it’s been washed. I never wear anything straight out of packaging. They smell!

parent root

2 points fangirlsqueee

Oh, I always wash too! This year I found out that the smell is most likely formaldehyde. They use it for preservation of fabric during long term storage. Sometimes I wash clothes literally 3 or 4 times and it still smells like chemicals.

“Long term storage”. Never thought of that ! Now I know why Amazon is so fast.

My friends and I did this with our husbands last year. We had them take a group photo so that this year we could put the pic on t-shirts for the girls to wear under our sweaters this year. We're all going to reveal the photo shirts at the same time at dinner!

The only way this could be more betterer is if the little dude had his own little matching shirt.

I’m sure after the third person, man or woman, walked in and saw two people wearing the same shirt, that’s the point you should know it’s a prank. It would be weird why anyone would be was upset.

parent root

1 points Stormtomcat

that depends, I think, on how far the shirt is from your personal style, and on which argument the prankster in your life used to convince you to wear it.

You seem to not know how it works. Upset wife/gf - miserable life. Happy wife/gf = happy life.
