THE STORY

THEY STOLE THE JOKE.
SO I STOLE
IT BACK.

A few years ago I made a broken English joke about how verbs in English are a complete mess. "I dance, you dance, he dances. WHY?"

The joke went viral. Cool. The problem is that someone took the joke, printed it on a t-shirt, and started selling it. Without asking me. Without paying me. Without even tagging me on Instagram, animal.

So I did the only reasonable thing a comedian can do:

I copied the copy.

QUESTIONS
THEY ASKED.

Is this a joke or is it serious? +

Both. The joke is real, the t-shirt is real, the drama is real. Only the bootlegger wasn't serious.

Why didn't you sue them? +

Because this is funnier. And more profitable.

What if I already bought the bootleg? +

Buy the original too. You'll sleep better.

Do you ship internationally? +

Yes! Mélanvies ships to 180+ countries. Shipping is calculated at checkout. The joke has no borders.

How long does delivery take? +

Europe: 5–10 business days. Rest of the world: 7–15 business days. Tracking included.

What is DTG printing? +

DTG (Direct to Garment) is a high-quality printing method that applies ink directly onto the fabric. Vibrant, durable prints that won't crack or peel — way better than the bootleg.
