I'm about 80% positive this is from the recent Wonder T Festival (#23 - Blood Simple) that happens in or around Akihabara every few months.

It's by a group called Scarab Vision. This sort of stupid gaming/internet meme thing on a shirt just really makes me happy for some reason. Makes me wanna say "YIPPEE!".

(Shoot the messenger if old)

They should make one with just the disappointed pic on it.

 

[Beer Monkey]

Boo-Yeah?

Lame.

 

[radioheadrule83]

Do Snowball own their image & likeness yet?
If so they should sue.

Or maybe I should buy one. I don't know.

 

[Geek]

Boo-Yeah?

Lame.

Sometimes the Japanese slightly misspell certain English words or phrases. Not sure if you're aware of this. Some people find that REALLY FUNNY for some reason.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Where did that pic originally come from? An E3 or something? There's also one with them looking disappointed too.

?

 

[Geek]

The disappointed pic is on the shirt as well.

the 'disappointed' pic came from E3 2003 (nintendo showing nothing but that GBA connnectivity Pac-Man game)

the "yipee" pic is from E3 2004, Nintendo revealing Twilight Princess and Nintendo DS

I thought the yippee was from E32002

 

[Jonnyram]

Haha, wonder if anyone will wear this for E3 next year.

 

[cvxfreak]

Am I the only one who finds that kinda hilarious? :lol

 

[Wario64]

I thought the yippee was from E32002

is it? i thought it was last year cause i remembered the "Reggie totally took his name" photoshop crap

 

[Kieyran]

I've been wondering that for years.Do they come from actual articles/forum posts that could be linked to or what? They've become so infamous now, I'd think SOMEONE would keep track of something like that.

 

[Ecrofirt]

I'm not positive.

I just thought the yippie was when they first showed WW or something, and then the L( L( was when they had pac man the next year

 

[Musashi Wins!]

you're right, it's older.

 

[Sho Nuff]

That shit is fucking hilarious. That pic is an icon of international geek culture now!

 

[Oxymoron]

The disappointed pic was from the E32k3 Nintendo conference. The happy pic was released by the editors in advance of E32k4, to hype us up or something.

[aoi tsuki]

For the record, i've always hated that joke (see above, no offense), and i completely get the reference. In any case, look for this to be the shirt to have at E3 next year, for the guys who have the chest of an 8-year old girl.

Am I the only one who figured the second picture ("Yipee") was completely staged? The posing is pretty over the top.....

Dude, have you ever been to a E3 Nintendo press conference? For non N-bots, it's very uncomfortable to say the least. Grown men openly weep at Zelda trailers, kiss the ground Miyamoto walks on, the works. People go nuts.

That said, yeah, I always thought it was a fake photo

 

[Andy787]

Haha, that's awesome. Were those IGN editor pics some sort of Internet fade in Japan, too?

 

[duderon]

The dissapointed one was first and the excited picture was second. So Wario is right, i think

 

[Pellham]

holy shit, I want one of those t-shirts!

yes it's a 2chan fad, called gaijin yonkoma. do a google search on it.

 

[KyotoMecca]

HEY, DOSE ANY1 KNOW IF TEH IGN EDRITOERS ARE AVAILAILABLE FOR TEH SEX? I WANT TO MAKE A SEX WITH THEM!

 

[GDJustin]

The "yippee" pic was staged, iirc.

 

[fse]

I'd so buy an O RLY shirt.

 

[Ristamar]

:lol @ the O RLY shirt

"I gotta get me one of those..."

 

[ManaByte]

I'd so buy an O RLY shirt.

 

[Scrow]

i thought that was from when they saw Donkey Konga?

 

[Mr Nash]

I liked the ones where the drawings made the editors into anime chicks better. Far funnier than this shirt.

 

[Kieyran]

^
I'd like to see that.

 

[..pakbeka..]

Am I the only one who figured the second picture ("Yipee") was completely staged? The posing is pretty over the top.....

it was staged, they showed it on teh IGN forums the day before the conference to increase the hype
along with a picture of a realistic Link and the sentence "Hot or Not?"

I don't need to say that everyone knew nintendo was going to show another cel-shaded zelda

 

[Drozmight]

It took up to a minute for this picture to load, and then I thought, "aaawww... rly?"

 

[hooo]

;_; Someone has to post a high rez version of that ORLY shirt at Cafe Press. Take my money, PLEASE!

 

[atomsk]

I'd like to see that.

 

[..pakbeka..]

and that's just one of them

 

[Scrow]

heh, why is matt cut out?

 

[lyre]

heh, why is matt cut out?

Matt's expressions are the best parts in both of them.

And I think it's because the three anime girls were already existing characters before the infamous pic showed up, so only three of the expressions were used.

 

[Pellham]

so, which GAFer in Japan can buy one or three of these for me? I'll pay double what they go for.
