I’m very glad to have another couple shirts on the site! I hope some of you like Muppets and/or punk and metal. And if not, I hope you have other things in your life that bring you happiness.
Is following people on Instagram a thing you do? I would love it if you followed ToadyCo. You could even send me a picture of yourself wearing one of these Mediocritee shirts (or any other apparel item that catches your eye at ToadyCo.com), and I’ll post it, and split the “likes” with you, 50-50!
@matthew@mj Ah, is that how we’re pretending to get around licensing? HBO sellouts. Take this! Scores of shirts with your IP on it, sold without your getting a dime!
@matthew@mj@stinks@thechilipepper0 Sesame Street is a Jim Henson production just like the Muppets which is why Kermit the Frog is on Sesame Street from time to time.
I have no opposition to price increases. That’s how the world works. But the first time there’s a price increase and you make it 40%? That seems a bit steep to me. Let’s look at it from another perspective…would you be acceptable to paying $35 for the same steak that was on the menu yesterday for $25? That $2.30 per gallon gas now is $3.22. and just to stay in the mediocritee family, that $12.50 bottle of wine over at Casemates is now $17.50. Would you be agreeable to these price increases?
If you want to increase t-shirt sales, how about a mild price increase maybe 15 or 20% and more offerings per week? I would be much more inclined buy shirts at those prices and frequencies than I would buying the current deals now. T-shirts are not a necessity. I have enough now to last til the end of my life. For me to click the buy button, the designs have to strike my fancy and also make me believe I got a good deal.
Ok, stepping off my soapbox now!! Thanks for 'listening"!!
@matthew I got both & at the new price & I am so happy ! One of my best friend’s birthday, is next week and I never know what to get them. They were the ones, who turned me on to woot years ago (when it was still Woot ) and they always were into the shirts there.
I saw these and was so excited, I just loved the shirts and knew that they would too. I can never keep my mouth shut about surprises so I sent the pictures of the shirts and they were SO into them. I bought them both and will immediately go over to your Instagram account and check it out.
Thanks for the great shirts, I love Beeker and the Muppets, it’s cool to see every once in , some of the not super popular ones making it on stuff. But then again I’m not out looking for them I pretty much just stick to Meh, Morningsave & now this, to find what I had no idea that I needed. Thanks Matthew ~
I’m a little sad that I let last week get by without buying these. I didn’t instantly buy because of the new price, but i left the tab open and then forgot. In retrospect, these were pretty cool shirts.

Thanks, and by the way, you’re great.
I like the Muppets, but I’m no good with music references- what images are being parodied?
@mj
@matthew Thanks! Now I appreciate them even more

@matthew @mj @stinks
HBO has Sesame Street. This is Muppet Show.
@mj Thank you for asking, I didn’t want to look stupid.
@matthew @mj @stinks @thechilipepper0 Sesame Street is a Jim Henson production just like the Muppets which is why Kermit the Frog is on Sesame Street from time to time.
I saw the beaker/milo shirt and almost pulled the trigger. But do I really need another shirt?
At 2 for $15 your shirts can be fun. At one for $14 they are not. Pfffttt.
@cbl_wv Yeah, if these were 2 for $15 I’d absolutely get both, at this price I don’t think I’ll get either
@cbl_wv @timothymh Ok, just for this one (and just for you two) I’ve given you a coupon for $6 to get it back to $15 for both. Use the code GETBOTH
(Or you can get one for $8 if you want to cheat.)
Man, I need to complain more here… @dave
/giphy bitch bitch bitch
@dave @haydesigner 2 for $15 LGRW
Sweetums is my favorite muppet ever! I’m trying to decide if I would wear these.

@mehmerized I’m hoping it is just because it’s a licensed property that is is more.
@srloomis Doesn’t sound like it. If you read the mediocritee update thread, it looks like a permanent increase.
No hate to the two chosen, but MAN did I want Animal instead of them.

@Amila99 I’m so glad to hear this! Thanks! And yeah, much love to B-team Muppets, since I’m pretty sure I’m a Scooter.
