You know that fake band on the fake show Full House? Me neither, but that’s what this shirt references, and if you know what’s good for you, you will purchase the Jesse and the Rippers T shirt, because it’s kind of obscure in a pop culture kind of way. Is that possible? Is it desirable? Like you feel a bit smug if people don’t know what it is and they ask you and then you tell them with an air of superiority and then there’s a bit of a bond because they enjoyed the show but forgot about that band. Now, you’re friends, except that you’ve established yourself as the alpha dog of the relationship. Nice.
Busted Tees explains this shirt very succinctly: “This shirt references the fictional band from the TV show Full House, where Jesse Katsopolis is the front man for the band.”
Here’s John Stamos looking all sexy and lead singery in a music video by the fake band in question:
