Whenever you metaphorically (or physically) faceplant into one of life's inevitable failures, people (once they are done pointing and laughing) always say things like "You can't win 'em all" or "Win some, lose some" or "Better luck next time" or "You have the right to remain silent." But if you had a Three Wolf Moon T-shirt, you would never have to hear those things again. You see, it isn't just any old shirt. This shirt is a legend on the Interwebs.
Apparently, a set of ironic reviews about the shirt on Amazon.com went viral, and now it's one of the most popular items on the site. Seriously. The BBC reports that it all started with a single review of the shirt. The review listed some of the pros of the garment as "fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women." A con? "Cannot see wolves with arms crossed." Teehee! But they get even better than that. Behold, these actual reviews from Amazon.com of the Three Wolf Moon T-shirt: "When I put this T-shirt on for the first time, my wife left me! Thank you, Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt!" "the Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt gave me a +10 resistance to energy attacks, +8 Strength... and I have successfully solved 7 crimes in my city." "Unfortunately I already had this exact picture tattooed on my chest, but this shirt is very useful in colder weather." "I ordered next-day air (if only there was same day!), and, of course, a size smaller than usual to ensure the closeness of the wolves to my chest hair. When the package arrived, I tore it open, and I SWEAR angels sang. I think it was Freebird. I immediately removed my "No Fat Chicks" shirt, and replaced it with this finery. Lemme tell you: AW YEAH." "My friend and I are going to attempt to transfer the design to the rear view mirror of my truck. Should increase the horsepower of the vehicle by about 50. Mostly because the horses under the hood will be running in fear of the wolves on my shirt and truck." "Yeah, the shirt's ok. But I would have preferred that it be made from actual wolf hair." "I bought this item to wear on a camping trip, seeing as how it has wolves on it. Imagine my surprise, on our second evening, as I was on my way to our makeshift latrine, ...I saw wolves wearing t-shirts with people's heads on the front. They didn't have any pants, on, though. I couldn't tell what people they were on their shirts, although I think one of them might have been Mindy Kohn from The Facts Of Life." "I purchased the 3 wolf moon shirt while on vacation in Utah but I forgot it in the hotel room. Imagine my surprise when 7 weeks later, I heard a knock at my door back home. It was 3 wolf moon! It walked all the way to my house by itself. Excellent fit, too." "For you left brain types out there, who are still unsure on whether or not this shirt would make a wise purchase, allow me to break it down for you. Most shirts like this only contain 1 wolf. This shirt has 3 wolves, plus a moon. You are basically getting 3 wolves and a moon for the price on 1 wolf. You won't find that deal anywhere else" Now, not everyone is laughing. The BBC reports the company that actually makes the shirt put a posting on the Amazon site that said they were unaware of the "viral assault" until TWMT made it into the Top 10 of the Amazon apparel section. Funny or not, I think at least one thing is clear: You don't wear Three Wolf Moon T-shirt. Three Wolf Moon T-shirt wears you. I know what's on my Christmas list this year. 16 CommentsLeave a comment |

Dude, I saw this thing a few weeks ago, and I have honestly never laughed harder in my life. I love the Internet sometimes.
As a wolf man my T-shirt has 3 humans howling at the moon... great for 3 man nights and the she wolves love it...
Terrible shirt. Absolutely terrible. The size of the wolves relative to the moon is completely unrealistic. This would only make sense if they were Space Wolves. And I see no mention of them being Space Wolves. Color me unimpressed.
This isn't the first wolf shirt to attract a following. A friend sent me this link in August, 2007:

I know HUMOR. I just don't get what folks find funny in this... I guess that my laugh box has been educated to a higher level.
Three wolf Tee Shirt, huh. Look at that artwork! I swear I can almost hear the wolf's loud, long mournful howls at the moon x 3. Hey wait! It's my dog Rosie in the backyard making that racket. Oh no, I see my laptop open on the patio table! No, Rosie, get away from it! Good gosh she ordered one!
I'm going to make YOU wear it, Rosie. And it's coming out of your allowance. Bad dog.
Was that a medium or a large you ordered?
Um, I'm still trying to find the humor in this. *Scratches head*
I love a man in a wolf shirt. can't get enough of them.
The only thing that could be better than actually knowing a man who runs with the Three Wolf Moon shirt would be standing in front of a whole sales rack full of them at discount designer clothing superstore, Loehmann’s.
Seeing all of them bursting with potential, smelling the muskiness of the fresh transfer ink, knowing they could be had for up to 65% off the prices found elsewhere.
I would buy one for all the men I know and use my Gold Club card for even more savings…it would be Shopping Nirvana…
whew! and i almost bought one! hahah!
whew! and i almost bought one! hahah!
Like a few other people here I have absolutely no idea what's so funny about this shirt. What's it supposed to mean anyways?
Dang... how do I get MY wolf design shirt to go viral?? I could stand to make a bit more cash with my art shirts. LMAO Could do with out the not at all humorous low-brow comments, though.
I can't figure out what the joke is either, but most of the kiddies today identify anything random or stupid as "humor". Just visit any site showcasing people's amateur Flash videos and you'll see what I mean.
THIS IS YOUR LATE PASS BCAUSE YOU ARE SOOOOOO LATE TO JUMP ON THIS THING
Looks like some of the commenters here "get it" and some of them are just stup...., well "special people". But we can all howl at the moon together in harmony, right?
Dwight was wearing the same shirt on The Office lastnight. Michael told him he looked like he was going to a fish fry and Dwight replied "it's suggestive to women". They were in Niagra Falls for Pam & Jim's wedding. Hilarious!
