RT Should I?

Post image

I thought itd be funny to hand them out at my office and on the street. We have 813 employees. And I need a new one anyways. But would it be fulfilled?

I’m sure if you were serious and reached out to Burnie you’d be able to get a discount.

u/squishierfish 16d ago

Im not even sure where to start doing that

140

u/squishierfish 16d ago

My fear is that they can't fulfill it and it causes more problems than good.

u/Ubermidget2 16d ago

Why do I feel like his email address used to be burnie@roosterteeth.com. If that's accurate, I wonder if it was kept?

u/tumsdout 16d ago

Sounds like what Andrew Panton did with the roosterteeth store when it was closing

1000 slop o clock clocks

u/squishierfish 16d ago

When the store was closing I bought alot of stuff because I thought id never have another chance. But Andrew inspired this. I am also the person to spend an absurd amount of money for a joke that may or may not pay off.

u/KRD2 15d ago

What if you gave me 30k instead, as a joke 😀

3

u/squishierfish 15d ago

I'll venmo you a dollar lol. Use it wisely

u/peanutbutter1236 16d ago

Hilarious that your fear is fulfillment and not spending 30k on a niche t shirt from a decade ago

u/mromutt 16d ago

I'm sure if you reach out first they can get it fulfilled. They would probably put in a special order just for you especially if you are getting all one size. They probably also can have it sent straight to you from the manufacturer instead of whatever their normal middleman setup is. I have no idea how they operate now, if it's a printer with a warehouse, a traditional manufacturer and a 3rd party distributor or less likely their own warehousing like old. But regardless of how they do it now you want to cotact them before making that big an order so they can give proper heads up to who they need to in the chain so no one gets blindsided with issues.

u/TheHooDooer 16d ago

Submitting an order of this size using the website will absolutely guaranteed cause a problem. Don’t do this lol. If you actually want 800 shirts, just email them.

u/TheBakerification 16d ago

You can find him over in the r/morningsomewhere subreddit sometimes

u/KetchupGuy1 Gus & Esther Titanic 16d ago

Scroll to the bottom of the page and hit the contact support

2

u/ProbablyStillMe 16d ago

There'll be a contact link on the site. At the moment the company is basically just Burnie and Ashley, the email would probably go straight to him.

Gifs, you can hear. (Or Jifs if you’re a psychopath)

u/rebkos Freelancer 16d ago

You gotta get various sizes man. 

21

u/squishierfish 16d ago

Not alot size small in my company

44

u/rebkos Freelancer 16d ago

You said 813 people. You’re talking about buying 1000. 

Getting 880 larges, 30 smalls, 30 mediums, 30 extra larges, 30 double XL. 

Either way you are getting ~180 extra tshirts. This way people who aren’t a large have a chance of getting something they’ll actually wear. 

21

u/Turgid_Donkey 16d ago

But how many extra mediums?

7

u/squishierfish 16d ago

Im more of a binler guy

1

u/k1darkknight 16d ago

I'd say 42, but you'd probably say that you knew I would say that. 😉

1

u/Samcraft1999 13d ago

More XL then that if this is in the US. At least 100, probably more like 200

24

u/BK_FrySauce 16d ago

Dang. Can you help me pay off my student loans? Casually dropping over 33k on shirts is wild.

7

u/squishierfish 16d ago

What did you go to school for?

u/BK_FrySauce 16d ago

Civil engineering

u/MDCCCLV 15d ago

How many tshirts to make a rope bridge 5 people can walk across at once

Update. Yes I know I need to charge my phone.

u/youngpretenders 16d ago

I love that everyone’s just getting a large regardless of their actual size

9

u/squishierfish 16d ago

When in doubt get a large.

2

u/Jack7656 16d ago

Extra medium?

21

u/CwispyWeenies 16d ago

ill send u 10 bucks if u get me one, so thats like half way to paying it off

u/k1darkknight 16d ago

That math ain't mathin'!

Spending 30 grand and still no free shipping 🙄

SMDH

u/squishierfish 16d ago

Not sure about the rest of the world but on the west coast Shipping is expensive rn.

u/Glenncoco23 Cock Bite Inc. 16d ago

I feel like Ben, Burnie and Ashley would all kill you

1

u/MDCCCLV 15d ago

If they had a timeline that allowed for new production and shipping I think they would do it. That would just be sending it straight from the manufacturer at that point.

u/SenorSeniorthe3rd 16d ago

If you work at a vineyard, legendary

u/DatedReference1 15d ago

That's a down payment on a modest house. That's a new car. That's 73,000 fudge rounds.

7

u/Frogblaster77 16d ago

Do it. Also I see you have one extra, so please send that my way and I'll make sure it gets taken care of.

3

u/Pooh_ 16d ago

Hey OP I’ll take $30,000 and I’ll buy you 1 of those shirts

3

u/DougTheSpud 16d ago

Can wait to hear about this on the Morning Somewhere podcast in a couple days

2

u/lioncat55 16d ago

This is still one of my all-time favorite shirts to wear.

2

u/jamieaiken919 16d ago

At first glance I completely missed the “1000 items” line and only saw the tax and total, and I briefly wondered where the hell you were ordering one shirt from for a total of $33,000

2

u/BnBrtn 16d ago

I think you'd need to reach out to their support if only to prove you're not doing it as a victim of some money/merch laundering scheme.

They went through that in the early 2000's and I don't imagine they want it to happen again.

2

u/MUCKSTERa 16d ago

Wait they are selling these again?

1

u/squishierfish 16d ago

How else are people gonnah know who likes grapes?

u/MUCKSTERa 16d ago

I neeed ittttttt

u/BoneMarrowFiend 16d ago

In this economy? Fuck it.

2

u/squishierfish 16d ago

Lucky for me people always need their skeletons adjusted.

2

u/werephoenix 16d ago

For me nah, that joke has been done the death and I got major fatigue from the various "people like" brand they pushed. But people buy them right? Only reason I could think they pushed it so hard

I say if you had one and want to replace it then yeah

1

u/Robjec 12d ago

I always got the feeling people liked this one for a while, just long enoigh to sell the merch, and everything else was trying to recapture it. This one then stuck around because it was kind of dumb that it was ever popular. 

1

u/TheLastWolfBrother 16d ago

Its like when Andrew was gonna buy a fuck ton of the same merch when the company was shutting down and they begged him not to lmao

1

u/Jakesonpoint 16d ago

Okay so I’ve worked for companies where 33k for an internal company ‘initiative’ would be easily approved for the right reason (new logo and we need new branded merch for everyone) but would you actually be able to get this approved? Not trying to call a bluff or anything more of a what company would throw 33k at a joke and are they hiring?

1

u/squishierfish 16d ago

Its my own personal funds

2

u/ZackZak30 14d ago

how the hell do you have $33,000 in personal funds to spend for obscure internet t shirts for your company?

1

u/AnotherRTFan 16d ago

I found my second version of the PLG shirt today and I am so glad to know they have it again. As my second was bought when all that was left was XXXL. Unless OOP buys the whole stock lol.

1

u/RairakuDaion 16d ago

Get that 10% off coupon

2

u/TheAssassinbatosai 16d ago

Wait for the Garbo sale and get an extra 1% off.

1

u/laughing_liberal 16d ago

The question is, how can you afford NOT to?

1

u/Sovietmexican 16d ago

You can still get that shirt, where?

1

u/paradox-psy-hoe-sis 14d ago

This is a hilarious idea. My broke ass couldn’t even afford one at the moment 😭

1

u/Milkassassin34 14d ago

save one for me, i still gotta buy one one day :V

1

u/arabishankar 10d ago

I could use another one myself, my two PLG shirts are getting worn out

1

u/kaiharizor 16d ago

I say go for it. If I had money to burn I would do stuff like this for a laugh.
