Jeepers not got stuff to say for all of them or I'll be here all day....but the first two, the bench and chapman clamp tee I have had for nearly 20 years so they are older than some of you young student folk.
Alas not all tees have been so hardy, I have had so many tees I've utterly loved that have'nt survived the test of time, I have lost countless to hot rock/blim burns from the cheech and chong teenage years.
I also hate cheap crappy tees that go all flared at the bottom after 1 or 2 washes. I remember before I moved to London I came on a shopping trip and like a tourist went to Camden Market where I found a tee with a print of the cover of the killing joke batman graphic novel which I loved, I was utterly stoked but 2 washes later it was a flared shrunken tank top but I loved the print so much I kept the tee for years but just didnt wear it.
My favourite one is the office computer scene one as it has that soft focus 70's porn look about it, I can also imagine the forced office laughter and I like the look of the ancient puters. I know nothing about puters really but I think the this tee says otherwise as I have had a number of geeks come up to be and say oh that is an IBM yadda yadda yadda, I rememeber them.... at which point I glaze over or just fess up I've no clue what they're on about.
I also really like the barcode one but would prefer if it was a real barcode that scanned and made the super market machines go beep, preferably my beer of choice so I'm not fumbling around at the self service beeper trying to prevent rogue cans escaping from the plastic holder wrap thing that you are supposed to rip up so ickle badgers, foxes and other wildlife don't get strangulated.
My next fave is the Paul Smith foxy lady pose as it reminds me of the Charlies Angels pose.
You can also have specific purpose tees, I used ot have a FUCT tee that had a name badge on the front that had a name badge print on that said 'hello my name is satan' which I used to wear on Sundays when I lived in North London as it made the conversation with the visiting weekend god squad nice and brief.
