Tosopants is Back … sorta

Recently I talked about the demise of online t-shirt shop, Torsopants, but today I received an email from T-Shirt Hell telling us that it is back. The website isn’t back but 15 of their best selling t-shirts are now being sold on T-Shirt Hell. From what I can see, there is no way to distinguish them from the regular T-Shirt Hell offerings but they are there alright. The messages on the tees are usually just silly rather than offensive. Below are some examples.

The chicken goes moo t-shirt was reviewed in this post. For those who wanted to get their hands on one and thought that they couldn’t now is the time to rejoice.

Review: Torsopants go moo

Well, we received our first and last tee from Torsopants. This is not because of the quality of the tee or any problems with Torsopants. It is simply because Torsopants closed its doors on December 23rd. The tee we received, a ladies top is nice quality. We felt the ink was a little thick but not uncomfortably so and I suspect it is intentional because it adds a pretty cool rough effect to the design which itself is a little rough. It’s as if it were drawn by a child who wasn’t able to keep inside the lines when he was coloring it in. This t-shirt is a very typical joke on Torsopants. Basically a picture with contradictory text.  Another example would have been a flag of one country with the name of another country. I’d like to say that Torsopants will be sorely missed but I think it will soon be forgotten. Bye bye Torsopants.

Update: This t-shirt is now available on T-Shirt Hell, along with many other Torsopants tees.

Torsopants Close their Doors

Torsopants is a sister site of the more crude T-Shirt Hell. It opened just this March, I believe.  T-Shirt Hell is famous for its offensive t-shirts and I imagine the humor and imagery turned away as many people as it attracted so I surmised back in March that TorsoPants was an attempt to grab another market sector with tamer, less offensive tees.  Anyway, I got an email the other day saying that it’s all over.

It is with great sadness that I announce, at the urging of Bilderberg, that I am closing the doors at TorsoPants.com at midnight December 23rd, 2008. I cannot get into complete details, but my higher masters have told me that my mission will be changing over the next few months and this is the first step in a series of movements I will make in my life to fulfill the prophecy that is Sunshine Megatron.

There seems to have been big changes in the T-Shirt Hell family recently too. I guess all is not well. As I have just mentioned, Torsopants is about to close its doors for good. I notice that BandGeekHero.com, a Torsopants spin-off focusing on Guitar Hero parodies, is also gone, with the domain redirecting to TorsoPants.com. I think it launched in July of this year. That’s a short life. And also Hell Jr. seems to have disappeared from the radar less than 3 months after its launch.

I have no idea what happened over there but if I had to guess I would say that the makers of Guitar Hero sued them for copyright infringement and they are selling off assets and streamlining their business in order to raise capital to pay. Just a wild guess though.

I don’t think TorsoPants really added anything to the t-shirt industry though and I imagine it will be quickly forgotten. The success of T-Shirt Hell will probably ensure that Torsopants won’t even remembered as a failed business idea.

Important: Also, I have been informed that any Torso Washingtons that are left unusedby December 23rd will be lost forever so if you have some you better get over there soon and don’t let them go to waste. Affiliates with Torso Pals will get paid on that date.

Band Geek Hero T-Shirts

Torsopants is a relatively new t-shirt store from the same people who gave you T-Shirt Hell. For those who don’t know, T-Shirt Hell is famed for its rude and crude selection of t-shirts. Some of them are very funny but some of them are just plain wrong. Earlier this year Torsopants was created in what I believe was an attempt by T-Shirt Hell to grab another market sector, the easily offended sector. It seems that one of their t-shirts was so popular, the tuba hero shirt, that it spawned a lot of requests for other instruments and TorsoPants decided to open a store dedicated to these t-shirts. And so came Band Geek Hero. For those who are not in the know, they are all Guitar Hero parodies.

And to kick off sales they are offering 25% off coupons for purchases of these shirts. You have to be a member to get this discount but joining is easy. Just by joining you also become eligible to win free t-shirts every week. You can’t lose really. This offer is good through July 20th so don’t waste time if you want to get one for a bargain.

T-Shirt Hell and Torsopants New Shirts

Two new shirts from T-Shirt Hell and T-Shirt Hell sister site, Torsopants. The Torsopants shirt is the Excellent parody on David Lee Roth. Who? Member of Van Halen. What? Ask your dad. (See video below).

The next t-shirt is from T-shirt Hell and I think this is probably the most useful shirt that they have ever produced. If you have ever been to a night club that is so loud that you can’t hear, then this is the shirt for you. It’s like a point and speak phrase book for clubbers.

And of those of you who don’t know who David Lee Roth and Van Halen are you can check out the classic Jump video below.

New T-Shirt Store: TorsoPants.com

It looks like the guys from T-Shirt Hell are trying to expand their market a little by including people who are not so easily offended. This new t-shirt store is called TorsoPants.com. On the left here is the face of TorsoPants – the inappropriately named Torso Ted. As you can see he is torso free. My belly button lint has more torso than this dude.

If you sign up as a free member of the Church of TorsoPants right now, they’ll drop $8 TorsoWashingtons in your account. They work just like cash towards anything you purchase on the new site. It’s a great way to get a discount on your first TorsoPants.com tee shirt. The web site is very similar to T-Shirt Hell but has more flash and therefore can take a bit of time to load. It is worth the wait though.

Below you can see a selection of t-shirts available at the store.
