It’s Tricky To Rock A Rhyme When You Can’t Spell

That’s right, the shirt says RUN CMD.

I found this beauty in Hong Kong at the Stanley Market. Gotta love the engrish! :)

    That’s probably a computer reference (on windows machines, you Run “cmd” to get to the shell prompt)

  2. 2 Kad Barma

    Or you gotta love an object lesson in irony for non-geeks. You’ve never rocked a computer, have you.

  3. 3 BlueSpeed9

    Um, that shirt might be referencing the Windows “Run” feature to which a common command is “CMD” — if you know your Windows, it could be a rather humorous play on words. =P

  4. 4 braman

    owned.

  5. 5 Nate

    Not a typo. For Windows users that is how to get to the command prompt.

  6. 6 lulz

    Definitely a play on words for Run –> CMD lawl…

    well now you know!

    I really think its engrish - the store was not a humor shop by any means - but I could be wrong…

  9. 9 admin-is-a-retard

    It’s meant to mean Run > CMD, not Run DMC you retard. lol.

  10. 10 SDSVX

    I agree with your visitors. I immediately took it as a humorous reference to the Windows Command Shell. But hell, don’t feel bad. That’s a great find and now you know. And knowing is half the… oh well hell. You know.

    stupid nerds

    Man you got owned. I’d take this down to hide your computer illiteracy.

  13. 13 Hi There
  14. 14 LMFAO

    RUN>CMD
    0WNED!!!! \/ hahahah

  15. 15 Thomas

    What a bunch of idiots.

    “Run DMC” is a hip-hop group.

    “Run CMD” is a forged t-shirt.

  16. 16 holly

    I’m sorry you are so stupid thomas, this is what is known as a “pun” run cmd is deliberately alluding to run dmc but by reversing the letters it also shows a commonly kown computer command line.

    hence the double meaning

    hence its a pun

    kill yourself

  17. 17 leimrod

    lol… and now this page has hit stumbleupon the whole world will see it :D I also don’t think this in engrish. It’s more of a geek play on the “RUN DMC” T-Shirts of yore

  18. 18 me

    As posted above by “hi there”

    http://www.zazzle.com/run_cmd_shirt-235449766832555679 clearly shows that this is a pun meant to reference running the command prompt on windows.

  19. 19 stumbler

    leimroid i found this on stumbleapon

  20. 20 Stumbler2

    Leimrod can predict the future - me did stumbler here too - and the gramatical error was intentional - the spelling mistake was not

  21. 21 Poopy McPancakes

    Clearly photoshopped! And poorly done at that.

  22. 22 Stumbler2

    Clearly an idiot and a predictable one at that

  23. 23 Stumbler3

    lol its not photoshopped

    you nerds are brutal.

    the reason i posted this at all is because i found it in a shack at a market full of counterfeit goods in hong kong - it was not a shop selling funny t-shirts…

  27. 27 Yoda

    Yeah its a play on words but if you’ve never heard of the run cmd prompt on windows its an easy mistake.

    I think use are all being a bit harsh - i mean yeah its quite funny if you know what it means but not everyone in the world will understand it.

    Calm the ham guys

    admin is a retard

  33. 33 meancheese

    lols

  34. 34 meancheese was right

    If you guys google “RUN DMC”, you find in the images a similar picture, which says RUN DMC, and has the same style. You all got schooled.

  36. 36 NERDS AND MANCHEESE Were RIGHT (the coolest stumbler)

    JEBUS CHRIST! LOL if you are a g33k, and/or lol if it is engrish to you.

  37. 37 Stumbly McStumblerson

    This is actualy a botched McDonalds shirt from their short lives fitness era. It is supposed to say ” Run McD”. It was supposed to motivate fat kids to lose weight…it went over like a Big Mac in a vegetarian restaurant…

  38. 38 Stumbler #42

    @ Meancheese was right: Wow, you’re a retard. Have you never heard of a parody? Yes, it looks like the classic Run DMC logo. That’s the whole point; it being made to look like a classic piece of popular culture while saying something nerdy.

  39. 39 X

    Fail!

    No, not the maker of the shirt, I mean you, admin. You fail!

  40. 40 Stumbler

    The funniest (saddest) part is even after 2 posts the admin still doesn’t get the joke here.

    It’s RUN CMD. This is the started thing to do when you need to open up the dos shell if you need to renew your IP, flush your DNS, start or stop services… or in your case, this is what your local geek does when “it just suddenly stopped working.”

    Which makes me wonder if - when you call Tech Support, and they say “Ok, Run CMD” do scream back at them that it’s hardly the time for music?

  41. 41 ಠ_ಠ

    Okay, it seems clear that any humour in that bloody shirt is purely unintentional. It seems more likely given the context that a bunch of counterfeiters are merely unwittingly making thousands of geeks lol.

  42. 42 Run CMD?

    pretty sure that the whole Run Cmd is for when you’re delving into your Windows OS. And to be honest, I can’t think of anything thing else it could even be.

  43. 43 kate

    Wow. That sucks to look so dumb on your own blog.

  44. 44 Jello

    Anybody who doesn’t realise that RUN CMD is an intentional pun is pretty goddamn stupid.

  45. 45 LindaR

    I’m not even a computer geek and I assumed that this was a deliberate joke.

  46. 46 Vittoria

    you guys are h0mos.

    seriously. get a girlfriend dorks!

  47. 47 the internet

    Get off me.

  48. 48 i am a man who knows

    you are all retarded. dun you know that hes just harvesting your brains and organs? hes not for serious, and this is all a set-up. now that i’ve spoken the truth, i’ll be dead in half an hour, but i had to warn you ignorant masses.

  49. 49 TonyP

    Come on leave him alone, so he made a mistake, we all do at times. I think it was a purposeful joke but why are you being so harsh to the guy

  50. 50 jon

    *Points and laughs*

  51. 51 Brian

    Can’t you just picture the admin of this site inside the store with his camera, thinking to himself “zomg, I gots pure comedeh gold for mah blogs and stuff yo, I’m on my way to the front page of Digg sucka!”, only to find out that it’s a legitimate joke. I give you a 0.5/10 for your efforts. You’ve just proven that any idiot, computer savvy or not, can run/own a blog.

    FAIL!

  52. 52 ...srsly?

    Now, this is a story all about how
    My life got flipped-turned upside down
    And I liked to take a minute
    Just sit right there
    I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air

    In west Philadelphia born and raised
    On the playground was where I spent most of my days
    Chillin’ out maxin’ relaxin’ all cool
    And all shootin’ some b-ball outside of the school
    When a couple of guys
    Who were up to no good
    Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
    I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
    She said ‘You’re movin’ with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air’

    I begged and pleaded with her day after day
    But she packed my suitcase and send me on my way
    She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
    I put my walkman on and said, ‘I might as well kick it’.

    First class, yo this is bad
    Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
    Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?
    Hmm this might be alright.

    But wait I hear there’re prissy, wine all that
    Is Bel-Air the type of place they send this cool cat?
    I don’t think so
    I’ll see when I get there
    I hope they’re prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

    Well, the plane landed and when I came out
    There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
    I ain’t trying to get arrested
    I just got here
    I sprang with the quickness like lightening, disappeared

    I whistled for a cab and when it came near
    The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
    If anything I can say this cab is rare
    But I thought ‘Nah forget it’ - ‘Yo homes to Bel Air’

    I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
    And I yelled to the cabbie ‘Yo homes smell ya later’
    I looked at my kingdom
    I was finally there
    To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

  53. 53 Oh damn I'm a nerd

    Damnit, I saw it as Run > Command, and didn’t register the Run DMC thing….

  54. 54 Steve

    Vittoria,
    Who the fuck uses dorks anymore and why the hell did you spell homos with a zero. You didn’t even capitalize any of your sentences. You really suck, dillweed.

  55. 55 the chinese counterfeits

    RUN CMD was intentional.

    if counterfeits wanted to make a fake RUN DMC shirt, they would’ve replaced the “M” with an “N”. RUN DNC in my opinion. they would try to stay as close to the original as possible and not reverse the letters.

  56. 56 blah

    computer reference dumbass.

  57. 57 alex

    Yeah, looks like a joke. And a pretty good one at that.

  58. 58 FAIL

    Man, you fail at life.

  59. 59 Hardrock

    I’m at a loss for words! you so-called “nerds” or “geeks” are so proud of yourselves in being able lambaste the poor administrator of this site when the majority of you probably couldn’t pick the clothes to wear to grade school without your mother’s help!
    What a bunch of f#@king jerks.

    GROW UP AND GET A LIFE! (you can all share the same one)

  60. 60 I speak for the internet

    It’s tricky to make a joke when you don’t understand what the hell you’re talking about.

    I have some advice for you:

    1. Get off the internet for a while
    2. Think about what you did
    3. Next time you make a joke check with others to see if it’s valid enough to post on the internet
    4. ???
    5. PROFIT!!!

    Honestly, I didn’t think anybody who posts on the internet would be so quick to accuse the Chinese of faulty english when it’s just their own idiotic misinterpretations.

  61. 61 Shawn of the Dead

    Yeah, I saw it as a joke as well, though I’m not a Windows guy.

    The reason I don’t run Windows is that it sucks ass like a whore. The geeks that find it amusing that admin didn’t catch the geek ref are not clever. The geeks that felt it appropriate to anonymously attack the admin for not catching it are no more intelligent than an engine-humping goat.

    Here’s a suggestion for all you ass-wits: point us to your website so that we can enjoy the preponderance of perfection that you have achieved. Having just waded through misspellings, grammatical errors, typographical errors, and logical fallacies from said ass-wits, I can only imagine the horror we might find.

    On the other hand, it’s always good to check your facts before making a post. Google turns this t-shirt up as intentional humor. Lesson learned, I guess; we all make mistakes.

  62. 62 I stumbled on this

    Wow, if you get this joke then you’re a loser.

    Seriously, who the hell uses a command prompt anymore? GUI, bitches.

  63. 63 nigger

    holy fuck you are one dumb nigger.

  64. 64 Stumbler

    Haha, funniest shit I’ve stumbled. I was trying to figure out what you thought was wrong with the shirt.

    Run CMD for the win, you can format C there!

  65. 65 lawls

    i would buy this shirt.
    yeah.

  66. 66 Willy Brown Balls

    I take it you didn’t purchase the T-shirt? Lucky for it! lol

  67. 67 Vittoria

    hahahahhaa

    Steve, you ESPECIALLY need to get a gf, faggot.

  68. 68 your a fucking idiot

    I’m with everyone else.

  69. 69 aaron

    looks like you got pwned by the stumble/dig effect.

  70. 70 LOSERSSSSS

    if the first thing you thought of was a windows command ur a fucking loser

  71. 71 OUTRAGE!

    WHY ARE YOU STUMBLING HE GETS MORE TRAFIC YOUR SUPORTING A NON NERD

    YOU PEOPLE DISCUSS ME

  72. 72 Stumbler #6545

    @ Outrage

    you’re an idiot (you people “discuss” me).

    @admin

    we aren’t necessarily all geeks, we just have actually used a computer for other things besides wanking off to “cheese” related fetishes.

    @I’m the internet

    listen to him^^^

  73. 73 Throng

    Screw all of you idiots. Maybe this guy has been out having some sort of life while all of you fu@king morons are jerking off to your Unix kernels and command prompts. To the average/normal/nongeek, the shirt would look like a Chinese knockoff of a Run DMC shirt. If your first thought was c:\ then you need to get into the bathtub with your toaster.

  74. 74 Throng - again

    One more thing - while you are all calling him an idiot and making fun of him, 99 percent of you have no concept of proper sentence structure and spelling. Look at what you’re writing before you call somebody else an idiot. Fucking morons.

  75. 75 Kyle Grover

    I think the truly disturbing part is that a lot of you think this is unintentional.

    It Came From Friggin China

    The fact that you think a chinese shirt is more likely to be the product of raw stupidity than hilarious geek humor is just completely asinine, and also pretty damn racist.

    Chinese are smart, probably smarter than the average american, and clearly more computer-smart than half the posters here.

  76. 76 John

    Actually, it IS RUN DMC, not RUN CMD like many of these comments say it is.

    Go ahead and google image RUN DMC and there’s a picture with similar bars on the top and bottom of the words, just like the shirt.

  77. 77 Jess

    HAHAHAHA.
    You all suck at life.

  78. 78 Jeff

    HOLYSHIT

    ‘RUN CMD’, ON THE SHIRT, IS MEANT TO BE A PUN FOR ‘RUN DMC’. We know that theres a picture that looks exactly the same (besides the letters CMD and DMC) however this is a remake of that picture (the one John wants us to Google), purposely written with the letters backwards. Its meant as a joke to software devs, server administrators and people in general who know what a command prompt is.

    heres some steps to follow, similar to ‘the internet’s:
    1. get off computer
    2. dont touch a computer
    3. sell your computer (NOT ON EBAY)
    4. ???
    5. Profit
    6. Use the money to buy a new computer
    7. repeat step 1

  79. 79 Jeff

    note: only follow steps if you didn’t understand the question.

    oh, also follow these steps if you dident understand the question:
    1. goto http://www.google.com
    2. search for ‘Google’
    3. click Google
    4. search ‘Google’
    5. click Google
    6. goto step1

  80. 80 idiot!

    owned owned owned! lol

  81. 81 Holy shit

    One day this will be seen all over the internet
    Everyone will know of the RUN CMD shirt
    Soon after the day of reckoning will come
    Those who are geeks will wear the RUN CMD shirt
    Those who are wankers will wear the RUN DMC shirt
    And then there will be war

  82. 82 Eden

    At least I’m not the only one who noticed the obvious.. that this is not a misspelling, but an AWESOME shirt!

  83. 83 no.1

    @LOSERSSSSS
    “if the first thing you thought of was a windows command ur a fucking loser”

    If it wasn’t the first thing you thought of you’re a computer illiterate bum. Now get the fuck off the internet.

  84. 84 lolcat

    dont worry, im with the internets. admin’s intertubes licenseseses has been revoked. neh.

  85. 85 lol

    wow…epic

  86. 86 Sean

    I am not sure weather to laugh at admin, or to be a bit worried about myself…
    see I’ve never considered myself a geek, but the first thing I thought when I saw the pic, was “ok, cool shirt, but what does it have to do with Engrish?” and then I realized that admin didn’t get it…
    Well I guess I’ll just laught @ admin….
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  87. 87 This is why we're all doomed

    Because people like all of you get to vote

  88. 88 joe

    Maybe “Run Command” ? :-D

  95. 95 aghh

  96. 96 Kate

    HAHAHAHA. Ah, funniest thread I’ve seen in a while. Seriously, if I was the admin I’d delete this page and run for the hills.

  97. 97 Chris

    Hahaha, that’s a hilarious example of engrish. Since it was Hong Kong, it is quite expected to find a engrish rip-off of the “thick black line, thin red line” pattern. Absolutely hilarious how they reversed it.

  98. 98 Boob Biter

    WTF, this is a good joke, why do people always fight on the comments list. What FUCKTARDS

  99. 99 Jordan

    Congratulations Admin, you have some sort of a life, and actually went to hong kong instead of watching anime and memorizing run commands. I thought the same thing you did. and you know what? it doesn’t matter what a bunch of fags who stumble all the time say. peace bro.

  100. 100 ramacher

    wow…

    the comments make this page 10000x better!

    its run CMD BITCH!

    back to stumbling…

  101. 101 Tiemen

    Oh, what a pity you didn’t buy it. It’s now a fucking relic!

    You bunch of fucking dorks, lol.

  103. 103 Ármann Snær Erlingsson

    Such horrible failure must feel awful.

  104. 104 holy crap

    DAMN! You friggin’ computer nerds are brutal… Leave the guy alone, he saw a funny shirt, took a picture. No need to bash the hell out of him for it. Its no wonder people despise your type so much. You act like your some sort of special race here on earth that has this almighty talent for knowing useless shit about computers. Knowing random crap about computers doesn’t make you some sort of superhero… Your arrogance just lends itself to the perpetuation of the computer geek stereotype. Which is, needless to say not a good rep. Tell me, computer nerd sitting at his desk playing with his computer all day, snacking on shit food and forgetting there is a thing in life called social skills (not counting computer interactions) and this little thing called a life, can you describe a vagina to me? No, it is not a computer term… so you wouldn’t have an idea.

    Go back to playing WOW in your mother’s basement, dripping in sweat from just sitting there, drink your sodas and scarf down your cheedos. You have no right to criticize this admin for anything, he, I’m most certain he gets out in the daylight and can has (what you geeks dubb the illusive and possibly fantasy) girlfriend. Or, friends in general for that matter. (Friends through computer interactions do not count once again).

    PS if any of you were true nerds, you would have shamed others for the use of windows and not linux. Making you less technically inclined computer nerds, or as you would have it… NoOb Nerds.

    I have shamed you once more. You useless bandwidth abusers. I believe your favorite episode of Battlestar is once again being rerun, can’t miss that now can you. Flee you maggot, may you cry at night knowing your only friend is a glowing, softly humming computer screen flashing the words RUN>CMD back at you.

  105. 105 /b/

    you, sir, are and idiot!

  106. 106 Fucking

    Epic.

  107. 107 Tim

    I like how some people think that in order to know what run> CMD means you have to be “computer nerd sitting at his desk playing with his computer all day, snacking on shit food and forgetting there is a thing in life called social skills”.

    Look buddy, we know something about computers that you don’t. We understand this shirt, and you don’t. That’s all there is to it. There’s nothing that infers that the people who understand this shirt eat “Cheedos” all day, watch Battlestar, or stay indoors all the time. You’re just embarrassed that you didn’t understand the shirt. As a matter of fact, RUN CMD is a very, very common command and ANYBODY [computer geek or not] who used a Windows computer before 1997 should know CMD.

    Oh no, disregard everything I’ve said. It seems there are only two types of people in the world: People who think the shirt is a misspelling, and people who get the shirt and are therefore play WOW in our mother’s basement, dripping in sweat from just sitting there. Also, all we do is watch Anime and memorize run commands.

    You all can suck my big, hairy computer geek ballsack.

  108. 108 Charles

    I immediately caught the computer reference. I checked and double checked the picture to make sure I wasn’t missing some sort of hidden typo. Turns out, there wasn’t any Engrish. It’s like a “Once you see it, you’ll shit brix,” but without the “it.”

  109. 109 fail

    @ tim… so basically there’s retards and computer nerds?

    i think your logic fails sir

  110. 110 Alex

    Haha, I love all the non-nerds saying immature things like “oMg u ne3d a gf!!!111 lOl”. Grow up and start living in the real world, guys. This isn’t gradeschool anymore.

    I do agree, however, that most of the “nerds” are being too harsh. So the guy misunderstood a joke, big deal. Besides, he may still be right, there’s no way to verify for sure that it is not Engrish. Either way, I think both possible jokes are funny. Let’s just all appreciate the humor :]

  111. 111 Rabid Goose

    hahahaha you DICK

  112. 112 Innocent Bystander

    Oh fuck.

    Who invited the internet?

    Goddamnit.

  113. 113 jordan

    NERDS ATTACK!!!
    from the safety of your computer!!!

  114. 114 holy crap

    Tim,

    Believe me I get it. Very clever. CMD DMC, what a cackle. I’m busting my sides. Funniest thing EVAR!!! OMG ROLF ROLF! (extreme sarcasm btw)

    You sir have missed my point entirely. You nerds are all the same. I know its a command line. Thats spectacular. Must be the coolest thing in the ‘verse to see computer command lines on a shirt. My point is the endless bashing this guy got for it. 98% of the posts are the EXACT same damn thing, “OMG Noob idiot moron didn’t even know what a command line is what a tool loser moron computer dumbass”.

    My point, stop bashing the guy. Second point. It takes 60 computer geeks who are apparently know-it-alls because they are special they know what CMD means, to post the same thing. Maybe he made a mistake, maybe not. Have you ever read some of the translated material from China or Japan? They make no sense. For all you know this could actually be a misprint, making all you jackasses out there saying “It’s a command line stupid!!” the real ass wipes.

    I am more than fluent with computers, but unlike the population of geeks out there who need to flaunt this fact and display their superior computer skills like assholes, I just say “oh, thats nice” and carry on my day. I am also a wiz at automobiles, but you won’t see me dancing up the street yelling at people OMG your tard turd, your wheel bearing is blown! Its not a unbalanced tire you fuck! What an idiot.

    It seems the only people who get a kick out of flaunting pointless knowledge about a stupid command line is… computer nerds. My stereotype, however it may be dated or doesn’t hold water, will always apply to people that act like this and bash some guy for a silly mistake. Which could (I hope it does so you all look like the asshole) turn out to be a misprint.

    So you sir, can suck mine.

  115. 115 /b/

    We’re no strangers to love
    You know the rules
    And so do I

  119. 119 stumble ftw

    ROFL i guess everyone runs blogs; even people who could never set them up on their own.

  120. 120 Ed

    i wish all you fucking nerds who are arguing that it is a play off of Run > CMD would go buy that tshirt…announce to the world your inability to get laid.

  121. 121 amen to that ed

    Much like that shirt C:Dos, C Dos run etc etc, you know the deal. It was funny in the Simpson’s however its annoying on a shirt in real life.

    What I would like to see is someone to have worn this shirt to a DMC concert. Ass kick galore!

  122. 122 Tim's dumb

    Another point for that Tim dude above… You say “we understand this and you don’t”

    You make it sound like this shirt is speaking to you in a personal manner. Like it has some damn life changing meaning to you. Its a stupid shirt man… How hard is it to understand? You’re way off base and personally, I think you’re a tard.

    *Sigh* I’m sorry, it must be hard being a nerd… Seeing shirts like this really reflect how hard life is for you, and seeing CMD on a shirt must uplift your day and make you smile a little wider. Knowing there are others out there like you, and maybe you will meet them in a forum or online chat someday and discuss and roffel (rofl) about this shirt and how amazing it was to bash some dude for it… Best of luck to you.

  124. 124 LMAO @ Admin

    I love it how the admin didn’t understand it…BAHAHAHA. And to the idiot that said “nobody uses cmd prompts anymore…GUI BITCHES!”–You’re about as stupid as the admin.

    BAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Pure ownage.

  125. 125 r3ference

    it’s teh interwebs!

  126. 126 Kevan

    Sorry, but it seems that you are the one mistaken - as many have already pointed out. Good thing your sense of prejudice took over the issue before your sense of humor. I mean… what?

    Might be a typo though, and you might be correct. Either way, it isn’t exactly fascinating. There’s no reason anybody should buy it or care or anything.

  127. 127 Tyler

    Somehow I feel like I’m the only one seeing the whole story.

    Yeah, it happens to read like the command Run -> CMD but I don’t think that’s what it is.

    If it is, then it’s wildly clever but, again, I don’t think so.

    First let’s think. The admin was the only person actually in the shop. He therefore has the best idea of the atmosphere and attitude and type of merchandise that surrounded the shirt. The shirt’s design does in fact resemble the Run DMC logo. China is notorious for American culture knock off mercandise.

    Now that all that terribly difficult mind work is out of the way, we shall come to a conclusion.

    It seems most reasonable, due to the above evidence presented in such a way as that I hope it is comprehensive for everyone, that this is in fact a knock off shirt and not a shirt made for people who enjoy computers enough to buy a shirt with a computer command printed to provide the center piece of focus for the shirt.

  128. 128 obvious shoop is obvious

    It’s clearly photoshopped. The reflections are all wrong in the shirt on the left.

  129. 129 PenisMcGee

    It is a misprint. Who would buy a shirt about starting the command prompt?

  130. 130 AnusTickler

    Lol at the people making comments. There are a few type of people, The angry nerds, the friendly nerds, the nerds flaming the other nerds for being nerds and the randoms. I agree with chris, a random. I also believe it is intended to be focusing on the stripy, not the Run CMD shirt.

    Now, when a noob and a douche collide in a less than optimal instance it creates a small antigravity charged that somehow we cannot understand yet reacts with natural fluron in the air to create a very small pleon. That pleon, is you, admin. You’re responsible for bringing these bastards here.

    Bah.

    If people think that has to do with windows then you do have a very basic mind front. It obviously has to do with rap/rockers RUN DMC hence the similarities with the logo design.

  144. 144 im not a nerd

    i only saw the run > cmd part of it. heh. not only that, but i’ve never heard of run dmc before. but thats ok, cuase hip hop sucks. is the next generation going to appreciate hip hop? will their songs one day air on oldies stations? no. cuase theres nothing to apprecieate. however, we all still appreciate, and will continue to appreciate classic rock. also, this was my favorite stumble in a long time. thanks guys. love the comments. oh and i htink youre misusing the word pun. something is only a pun if it can be made into a crappy knock knock joke. its two words that sound the same but have different meanings. this is more a parody.

    Look, anyone who has used windows for more than a year knows about run > CMD. It’s not really an obscure tool. Most likely, the admin had a brain-fart and forgot. It happens all the time. I can see how it could be seen as a counterfeit, as it’s in a chinese store notorious for counterfeit merch.

    Before you call me a nerd, I actually first thought of run dmc, but realized that it was a pun.

  147. 147 aphysicist

    This stumble just made my night.

    I want that shirt.

  148. 148 aPrettyCoolGuy

    if the first thing that came to mind when you saw this shirt was Run Command. Then, you my friend probably work in the IT industry and get paid a lot more more than a lot of these people calling you a loser just because you know more about computers than they do.

    anyhow, this shit just made my night.

    Oh and you got owned by your own blog. haha. the Dig/stumble effect got to you

    And you talk about places, you NEVER go
    You talk about your girl, from head to toe
    I said your mouth’s moving fast, and your brain’s moving slow

    Twenty-five hours, eight days a week
    Thirteen months outta year, is when you speak
    I’m tired of listening to the garbage you talk
    Why don’t you find a short pier, and take a long walk

    You talk too much Then you never shut up!
    I said you talk too much Homeboy you never SHUT UP!!!
    You talk too much You could be, out of breath
    You talk too much Man you naggin me to death
    You talk too much Tired of hearing you speak
    You talk too much Eight days a week
    You talk too much Then you never shut up
    I said you talk too much Why don’t you ever SHUT UP!!!
    You talk too much Then you never shut up!

    I thought at first it was an IT joke, but if you look it up, you’ll see it’s also obviously a counterfeit. There are lots of actual Run DMC t shirts with the very same typo.

  155. 155 Bob

    Hahah we should all start a craze and buy the T-Shirt.

  159. 159 ts

    You people make me sick. If you’ve never made a mistake, then you’re not doing anything. Besides, how do you know that the original creator of this shirt wasn’t computer illiterate, and they had no idea what run->cmd was? The only thing that can be proven is that the design is a ripoff of a Run DMC shirt. All you windows “power users” need to stfu. I’m sure none of you would have the balls to call the admin an idiot to his face, and even if you did, I’m sure he would beat the shit out of you.

  160. 160 Normal Person

    Well done admin. You have to be a total nerd to even think of buying a t-shirt like that and you have just exposed hundreds of sad fuckers that would, or, like you and I, they would not have got the joke either. By not getting such a nerdy and unfunny pun I feel a whole lot less sadder than all these other idiots.

    wow, how many people have to get the point across that this is a pun,

    1)shut down computer
    2) open the curtains
    3) change out of your spiderman pyjamas
    4) get a social life
    5) get laid
    6) lead happy and fruitful lives vowing never to bore anybody into submission with your geek speak!!

    The geek stereotype is one of the most overplayed under defended one. I guess this is because most geeks don’t care what douches think about them.

    To everyone who’s been flaming the “nerds”… it was nerds who created computers and the Internet to begin with, so where would you be without them? Writing your tired stereotypes about Cheetos and mom’s basements and leaving them on car windshields?

    Leave the ‘nets to the nerds and get back to your awesome social lives and all that glorious sex you’re having.

    Haha, personally I think the comments are funnier than the picture. I noticed the pun as soon as I saw it, but I love how people always have comment fights! For my own comment, I count myself as a nerd, but I do have a social life, and a very good one at that. And yes, I mean besides MySpace and Halo 3. I noticed the reference immediately and I don’t think you have to a so-called “Power User” to know what Command Prompt is. Some people just might not know, so Nerds, stop flaming the Admin, and well…all you other guys stop flaming the Nerds!

  187. 187 mik

    All I can say is (and I’m pretty sure someone’ll rape my arse a few comments later for this):

    1) Just because you know what Run -> cmd does, doesn’t mean you’re a geek. It means you can use a computer slightly better than most people (that may make them feel inadequate and threatened, but no matter).

    2) The author looks like an idiot. No doubt about that. Doesn’t mean he actually IS an idiot though.

    3) I didn’t think the picture was funny at all, in fact I had to look at it for several minutes to look for engrish. Couldn’t see any, so had a look at the comments and then I realised the joke wasn’t actually in the picture at all, it was underneath in the forum.

  188. 188 Admin

    What some of you “You nerds are too harsh”-people don’t understand is that this admin here isn’t being criticised for not getting the joke. He is being critized for making fun of others via his original post where he was in no position to make fun of anyone.

    There are two sides to this- a) he doesn’t get it and b) he thinks he’s superior.

    Point made: Admin got pwned.

  189. 189 Grim Reaper

    Haha, well done. You got drilled by the chinese by trying to drill them :P Try it yourself. Start > Run > cmd.exe

  192. 192 Ender13

    I love all of the comments on this that suppose that if you know what Run cmd actually is you must be a super-nerd with no life…

    My friggin’ mom knows what it is, and she has to call me to figure out how to use iTunes! I mean, even if you hardly ever use computers if you’ve ever called any tech support for a router or modem you’ve almost certainly been told to use this command…

    If you know how to do anything on a computer besides open a browser and type in it then you should know what this most basic and common Run command is! It’s not like it’s archaic or complicated…

  193. 193 Caenum

    To all the stupid people calling everyone else stupid for not thinking its engrish, its a pun on run dmc the hip hop group, and run cmd the windows command. shut up now.

    cmd doesn’t make sense why wouldn’t it just be command? see got you faggit nerds bet you never seen a vagina. there are 10 types of people in the world, those who have sex and those who are faggot nerds who post comments (WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER 7???)

    Okay - guys.
    This has been going on for nearly a month.

    Yes - its a pun. But nerds - we don’t need to rub it in.

    Yes - it looks like a Run DMC shirt. But thats the whole point. We get
    that you don’t get it.
    But some people, who have totally functioning social lives and sucessful relationships, and (omg) have actually had sex, /still/ like to know how to work a computer without relying on a GUI to give us the option to do whatever it is we want.

    So all of you - STFU and move on with your lives?

    What if he actually intentionally made this stupid post,
    knowing that it would attract a bunch of insecure, unwitting
    geek-types that would be quick to correct him in the most
    grating posts; the irony resulting in his blog becoming ten
    times more popular?
    It’s a possibility.

    I once wrote a program named “DMC”. You ran it by typing
    run”dmc”

    it was clever at the time.. I guess

  212. 212 ANGRY PETER

    admin got reverse owned by all of the stumblers, diggers, and the country China itself simultaneously on his own blog. Gotta say that’s clearly a full blown case of epic fail.

    A fail of epic proportions!

  214. 214 cloud9ine

    amazing how the people who didn’t get cmd get complexes and call everyone who did losers.

    I, for one am an avid run user - even to launch word, i go win key –> R –> winword coz I prefer using the keyboard. run cmd came naturally to me, a method to get to anything from ipconfig to net start etc.

    It’s an obvious joke, a smart one at that.
