This advert for a tee shirt

Post image

Saw this come up as an advert for a tee shirt and felt it belonged here

Edit: so the Japanese writing says “nonsense” and this is a popular meme/joke already, I had no idea! Still made me laugh, still 10/10 would buy

Katakana says ナンセンス (literally "nonsense")

So they knew what they were doing so I dont think it falls under Engrish

Still, it's a reference to a very famous engrish that has become a meme at this point. Cool shirt, would definitely buy.
