About the joke
Why a goose in jail is on 482 different things
Nobody owns Got Too Silly Goose. A goose got too silly, the goose is now in jail, and four words under a drawing did the rest. The joke spread the way jokes spread, which is to say sideways and without permission.
That is the whole reason this catalogue exists. When a joke has no owner it has no shop either, and what you get instead is 482 product pages from 180 different printers, all of them a search result away from each other and none of them next to each other.
What this place actually is
A catalogue of one joke. We read the page for every Got Too Silly Goose item we can find and work out what it actually is: the thing, the version of the goose, the colour, the size and who printed it. Then all of them go on the same shelf, which is the only way to compare them.
We do not print any of it. Nothing here is ours, nothing is exclusive, and there is no secret warehouse behind this page. What we do is the boring part: counting, sorting and telling you which of two near-identical shirts is the one you were looking at.

There is more than one goose
This is the thing nobody tells you before you order. Got Too Silly Goose is not one drawing. The jail version, with the bird behind bars and the number board, is the one the joke started on. The animal pun version is a plain goose with a groan under it. The meme lettering version is neither drawing, just the words in a typeface that was funny in 2023.
They read completely differently on a chest and they are almost never labelled. So the version is on every card here and there is a filter for it, which is the single most useful thing here.
Prices, and why they are all over the place
The same drawing runs from $2.99 to $107.99 depending on the garment, the printer and whether the print is screened, direct to garment or embroidered. Embroidery costs more and lasts longer, and that trade is honest. A five dollar gap on two identical black tees usually is not.
So the price sits on every card next to the thing that explains it, and the table further down counts what each department starts at.
What the Got Too Silly Goose shelf will not tell you
Where the joke came from originally, because nobody can prove it and a confident answer would be a made up one. Which printer is best, because we have not worn 482 shirts. And whether a specific design is licensed, because that is between the printer and whoever drew it.
What we can tell you is on the card: the thing, the version, the colour, the size, the price and who published it. Where a printer does not state something, the card carries nothing in its place rather than a guess.
