Now leaving off with the creating of funny t designs. It seem so simple to use a character out there for example. A funny chuck norris t-shirt. But it all boils down to licensing. Some things are fair game and others certainly are not. You can't use an actors face unless you are wholesaling the tees or have the license. Well licensing is quite expensive. Just to do a jaws t-shirt the license for that is $10,000 for the year. Then you can see where other licenses would go from there. We wholesale all of our character prints or copyrighted works. The rest of the tees without a licensed character on them our submitted by customers and or created by our team. We constantly are looking for new ideas for funny t-shirts and as always we offer compensation for the ideas. It is hard to constantly think of these new ideas and that is why you have to pool as large a group as possible. The ideas are definitely out there and more than worth it!

Hey guys thought I could leave a little helpful input. I own www.crazydogtshirts.com we have tons of licensed and non-licensed tees. For prices on licenses a good example is the jaws license that alone costs $10,000 for the year spot. We wholesale out all the licensed tees. In general to purchase a license tends to be worth it for the wholesale companies who can really pump out the volume. Merchants selling single units to customers are safer taking this route. For copyright issues the bigger you are the more you have to watch out. In most cases companies will ask for you to just take the shirt down and that is that. Chuck Norris went on a spree about a year back and any t-shirt manufacturer with any non-licensed chuck norris t-shirts got the old roundhouse kick to the face plus a cease and desist. Most companies will just let it go. The whole parody bit you can still get in trouble for. Again it really depends on the design and how a-like it is. If it can damage a brand or is confusing with a brand name then sometimes the company will come after you. For example Got Milf and Got Milk that technically is something you shouldn't be printing on a t-shirt. Hope that helps
