Vintage wresting requires a vintage t-shirt, and who better to showcase than Mr Bundy. Said to have weighed 201 kgs (444 lbs) at the peak of his power, this superstar of a bygone era commanded respect from friend and foe alike.
Who can forget the inaugural WrestleMania way back in 1985, where Bundy destroyed Special Delivery Jones in 23 seconds. The following year at WrestleMania 2, it was Bundy versus Hulk Hogan in the cage - first one out wins. ('Mean Gene' looking sharp as always at the beginning...)
Okay, if you didn't have time to watch, it was Hogan who emerged victor in 10mins and 15 seconds.
Welcome to Wonderpunk Vintage Retro Funny T-shirts blog! The 70's and 80's were golden eras for funny slogans - and today, we recognise and celebrate their genius! While our range is primarily inspired by the vintage and retro era, we also like the 90’s and modern influence reflective of a post vintage and retro era.

No More Smurfs - 'Gargamel Goes Vegan' Vintage T-Shirt
Looks like Smurfland has run out of Smurfs - that's a serious chink in the food chain. Lucky for Gargamel he's adaptive. The old man with curvature of the spine has found an alternative, or many alternatives provided they don't contain animal byproducts.
Who would've thought, Gargamel the foremost advocate of veganism. Gargamel... 'The Vegan'! Yeah it has a certain ring to it...

Vintage Mens T-Shirt: Octopus Attacks Human!
The octopus strikes back! This retro tshirt is inspired by the classic 1980's Game & Watch game - Octopus. Classic stuff.
In an epic battle of man vs beast, it looks like the beast takes the points on this occasion. However, in due time, man shall return and conquer... and what a celebration it will be. Anyone for squid?

Vintage T-Shirt Fell off the Back of a Truck?
Commentary on an Australian Global Idiom
Common household electrical items are no stranger to unconventional distribution methods. The saying, 'fell off the back of a truck', generally relates to goods that, well... let's say are unlikely to have been obtained in an altruistic fashion. Yet, any individual who uses the rear of a truck as their showroom probably isn't the type to bring home for a hot meal and pleasant chit-chat about current affairs.
The clandestine alleyway trade, and its associated sayings, are by no means unique to Australian soil however. The English have their own adaptation of the 'fell of the back of...' saying, substituting the word truck for 'lorry'. In the U.S., Seinfeld parodied the street trade in an episode involving the the distribution of shower heads. If this was any indication, product variety abounds - the next big thing need not necessarily be a car stereo or home theatre system!
While the prices are likely to be bargain basement, the caveat emptor lies in the inability to return dysfunctional items, not because you weren't issued a receipt, but because the vendors seems to enjoy traveling, and as such are frequently on the move.
Ahh, good times...

Nowadays, electrical appliances aren't the only objects to fall off the back of trucks. It's become a popular pastime activity for people, as evidenced below.
Ahh, good times...
