Why Not Zoidberg Tee Design Review.

THIS DESIGN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM THIS RETAILER.

The Why Not Zoidberg tee design is for the people that decide which they like more, Game of Thrones or Futurama.

The concept is playing on a popular Futurama meme "Why Not Zoidberg", which is something that Zoidberg never actually said and the Game of Thrones poster from season 1 (shown below). The idea is that Zoidberg could rule Westeros as King just as well as anyone else.

Game of Thrones Season 1 Poster

As for the artwork, it is clean, well colored and well shaded. The style of the Iron Throne is like the perfect blend of both franchises. The only fail is a lack of a question mark. I will not deduct stars for that, in hopes that the artist updates the design.

Game of Thrones and Futurama fans would want this tee in their collection, especially if they like of both franchises.

The Amazing Bender Tee Design by SergioDoe.

The Amazing Bender Tee Design Review.

The Amazing Bender tee design is for the Spider-Man Fans and more importantly Futurama fans.

This concept is an Amazing Fantasy (Shown below) spoof called Amazing Future where Bender from Futurama is swinging with his arms as opposed to the Spider-Man swinging from his webs. He is carrying Philip J. Fry with one arm while giving him a menacing look. The text reads "Introducing Bender", "Though the world may mock me. The Great Bender...", "They will all soon bite my shiny metal ass!", and "Also in this issue an important message to you, from the Hypnotoad-All glory to the Hypnotoad." all suitable for Futurama. Other Futurama references included are the MomCorp building, a Slurm billboard and the NNYC Tube Transport System.

Amazing Fantasy

As for the artwork, the colors stand out well and are appropriate enough for the Futurama franchise. The layout is the same as the Amazing Fantasy cover only with NNYC aspects instead.The shading is a bit weak but it doesn't detract from the design. The edges of the design are "sponged" out (evident of the repeating brush pattern) in an effort to blend the design with the fabric. This effect would had looked better if there were no repetition in order to look more natural. Most people would not notice this however so no points detracted.

Overall the Amazing Bender is a good nod to a classic magazine (comic book) and a nice Futurama reference tee.

The Beer King Tee Design by Firebeard.

The Beer King Tee Design Review.

 The Beer King tee design is for Futurama fans and those that have fond memories of The Lion King.

For the concept, The Beer King tee design parodies Disney's most famous Lion King scene by having Bender from Futurama holding up a bottle of beer as if it was the new born king. There is no real originality as Firebeard does not own the rights to either Futurama or The Lion King. Bender is like a straight ripped copy with no edits or alterations as a true parody would have to avoid copyright infringement. Bender is simply Bender. Not that I really care, I am just commenting on the originality and creativity aspects. But the mashing up of the two franchises is cool and make for a funny concept.

As for the artwork, the coloring is good with some tricky shading that could fool the eyes into thinking that it is wrong. It isn't perfect but I wouldn't go as far as to call it "wrong". The only area that really needs fixed is Bender's left arm. As for the glass beer mug, there is a concave on the bottom of the beer mug that is why it has shading there as there is a side to a ridge. Plus the background shows through the mug as it is drawn as transparent.

This is one of many Lion King parodies and ranks up there with some of the best.

I'm not much of a Disney fan but I enjoy the Hell out of Futurama. This design is funny and suitable as a Futurama tee as any Earthican would agree..

Men of Science Tee design by Everdream.

Men of Science Tee Design Review.

The Men of Science tee design is for the Futurama, Rick and Morty and Archer fans. Specifically the ones that like science and the mad scientist type of characters.

The concept is hilarious, awesome and one of those I WISH type scenarios. If a crossover cartoon would come into existence that featured these three characters it would make my year. Professor Farnsworth, Rick Sanchez and Dr. Algernop Krieger are not just insanely funny they are characters that no one in their right mind would ever cross or screw over. The fing-longer is a great choice for Professor Farnsworth's gadget. Of course Rick's gadget is his inter-dimensional portal gun. Krieger's Magic Breathe Strips are extremely funny but not necessarily the best choice for his device. For these three mad scientists to team up would be like releasing the Apocalypse upon the world. The world would die laughing via a comedy disease from another dimension released by some sort of doomsday device.

As for the artwork, it is not the best but it is far from the worst. The characters' skin tones are blacked out but the clothing isn't. Which is weird that it's that inconsistent but oddly it doesn't take that much away from this concept. The coloring isn't the best but it is good enough to distinguish the characteristics. As for the shading, it is non existent unless you count the aforementioned black out skin tones. The layout is simple and it works. There doesn't need to be anything else to execute the idea meaning the gag is delivered instantly with what there is. Which is what makes it a good tee. More action and detail might mess it up.

This Men of Science tee will make a nice gift for science buffs and fans of these cartoons: Futurama, Rick and Morty and of course Archer.

Nebeermind Tee Design by Melonseta.

Nebeermind Tee Design Review.

The Nebeermind tee design is for Futurama fans that enjoy Nirvana and beer.

This design is based off of Nirvana's Nevermind album cover art (shown below). It depicts a baby Bender instead of a naked human baby. It is a funny mash up that represents the beginning and end of the 90's decade wonderfully. The concept would had worked whether they replaced the dollar with a beer or not since Bender was always stealing cash just as much as he was drinking. He can't resist either at least not for long. This is a good mashup and it is better than a large portion of the other mashups out there because it actually took some thought to produce.

Nirvana Nevermind Album Cover.

So the artwork is a cartoon parody of the Nevermind album cover. The colors and shading are ideal because just as the photo of the underwater baby had light and water patterns under him so does Bender in the form of a brighter hue than his traditional Foghat Gray. The water is simplified with adequate water wave effects, which prevents it from looking too cluttered and busy. Leaving the actual water color whatever the fabric color choice is. There is no fishing line so that is disappointing to some degree but not enough for me to detract any stars.

This is a good shirt for Generation X, fans of grunge and of Futurama the greatest cartoon of all time. Even if a person is just 1 out of the 3 they would still dig this design.

Future Wars Tee Design by DCVisualArts

Future Wars Tee Design Review.

The Future Wars tee design is for the Futurama and Star Wars fans.

This is a good mash up as it combines two hit sci-fi shows. In this, 4 of the Futurama characters are spoofing the Star Wars episode 4: A New Hope movie poster (shown below). Philip J. Fry is holding up a lightsaber as he replaces Luke. Turanga Leela, holding her ray gun, instead of Princess Leia Organa posing with her a blaster. Bender is drawn up to look like Darth Vader and is the giant face in space instead of Darth Vader himself. Instead of R2D2 and C3PO in the background there is Zoidberg as Droidberg C3PO and I'm not sure who or what is replacing R2D2. Bessie (The Planet Express Ship) and NNY traffic replaces the tie fighters. The location based on the background and said traffic is New New York.

Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope Poster

As for the artwork, it is a nice homage to both Star Wars and Futurama. The colors good and retro like the original poster only cartoonish. There is minimal shading which is okay for the style.

This Future Wars tee will make a nice gift for the Futurama fans and some Star Wars fans would appreciate it as well.

Children are in luck because this comes in kid sizes too.

Let's Operate Already Tee Design by KindaCreative

Let’s Operate Already Tee Design Review.

The Let's Operate Already tee design is for the Futurama fans whether they have fond memories of the Operation game or not.

The concept is funny and true to the Dr. John Zoidberg character as he is as incompetent as a Larry, Curly, or Moe as surgeons. Hence the "Skill Game" quote. There is a healthy mix and balance of both the Futurama Franchise and the board game Operation. If there was a real life Futurama Edition of Operation it would look like this and be a huge hit. Why not? They have The Big Bang Theory Monopoly sets and Firefly Yahtzee so it is very plausible.

As for the artwork, it takes the two Futurama characters as they are and throws in some Operation elements. Like KindaCreative substitutes a red ball for Fry's nose and includes rectangle holes all over his body. Inside the holes are objects instead of body parts like organs, bones. Such as parasites (worms). There are tons of Futurama references in this one shirt. Like the Slurm can, bee stinger, Seymour's bone, Brain Slug and the Robot Devil's hand (a reference to The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings episode). Those are all geek icing on a geek cake. Aside from the dead on illustration there isn't much that can be said. It looks good on every available color too.

This Let's Operate Already tee will make a nice gift for any Futurama fan. It's funny and true to the show.

Bender U.F.O. Tee Design by Firebeard

Bender U.F.O. Tee Design Review.

The Bender U.F.O. tee design is for Sci-Fi fans that enjoy Futurama and the X-Files.

This design is based on the Futurama episode entitled Roswell That Ends Well and the poster "I Want To Believe" that could be seen in "Spooky" Fox Mulder's F.B.I. office. It is also the title of the second feature film installment of the X-Files franchise.

So the artwork is a silhouetted rip of the actual cartoon of Bender from when the U.S. Military put his body back together wrong in the shape of a flying saucer. It is the mashing it up for the "I Want To Believe" poster that makes the design brilliant. Not the actual artwork itself. There many parodies and mash ups of the poster and they are usually all crap or feature a damn TARDIS.

This Bender U.F.O. tee would make a great gift for fans of the FOX Sci-Fi shows such as Futurama and the X-Files. But don't give FOX too much credit, they did cancel Firefly after all.

This is a great shirt to wear to a Comic-Con or wherever geekdom can be found.

Breaking Bender Tee Design by TapedApe.

Breaking Bender Tee Design Review.

The Breaking Bender tee design is fans of both Futurama and Breaking Bad.

This is an interesting concept for a 50/50 mashup. Both characters are antiheroes in their own respective series as they do bad things like stealing and other crimes. If you can wrap your head around the fact that a robot has a goatee, wrinkles and glasses then this tee might be for you. Luckily, there is no nose which makes the Bender aspect stay true to his form. The mouth is mostly Walter's.

As for the artwork, the main features of Walter White and Bender are balanced well into this design. You can see one or the other or both, with Bender's fog hat grey tone as the base.

This Breaking Bender tee will make an ideal gift for the geeky and nerdy types that love both franchises. If you know someone that loves to root for the villain or can't stop saying "Bite my shiny metal ass" then this is the shirt to get them.

This design is ideal to wear anywhere that isn't formal. However, it is not appropriate for children or as school or work clothes since it is Breaking Bad related. Hard asses might construe that as promoting drugs and violence. Even though it is just a damn T.V. Show.

Powerama Tee Design by TapedApe

Powerama Tee Design Review.

The Powerama tee design is for fans of Futurama and the Powerpuff Girls. Unlike other mashups that share the concept this one stays true to the female gender leaving Fry and Bender out of it.

This cartoon mashup tells the world that girls are badasses too. It not only puts two of Futurama's main characters in the spotlight but it also features a minor character as well (LaBarbara Conrad). Yes, the Powerpuff Girls are already badasses to begin with as are the Futurama gals. But that is just another reason to mash them up into one design. The colors used in the artwork here look good on virtually any color fabric.

TapedApe took the characteristics from both franchises and blended them in such a way that it is easy to forget that this isn't either franchise's actual imagery. Amy's character arguably turned out the best.

This Powerama Tee is ideal for wearing while watching Futurama or Powerpuff Girls on Netflix, or to Comic-Cons.
