Brain child of the Disney Corporation and delivered with the flawless execution of a new innovative technology, Toy Story is fantastic on a number of levels. Toy Story was the first film for Pixar Entertainment who pioneered the use of cgi cinematography. Mix in a colorful storyline performed by an incredibly talented cast and crowds worldwide lined up to take part of this fantasy. Toy Story 2, the sophmore film, experienced the same success of it’s predecessor. The film featured a mix of familiar voices. Tom Hanks stars as Woody, the lovable old fashioned pull string cowboy and best pal to his child owner, Andy. A wonderland of it own, Andy’s room is full of toys who come to life when he leaves. Woody is their leader.
In the first film we’re introduced to Buzz Lightyear a fearless and dare say oblivious astronaut action figure who unlike the other toys, believes he’s real. Andy brings Buzz home after a birthday party and is awstruck with the buttons, new dazzling features and, of course, the trademark “To infinity and beyond!”. Alas, Woody is disenchanted fearing that his place in the boys heart as his best pal may be lost to this new toy. From there the movie unfolds as Woody plots to trap this intruder that results in him falling out of the Toy room only to having Buzz come to his aid. They learn that they must rely on each other to make it home.
Of course, as is the Disney way, the two toys become comrades in the end and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Just like that, a franchise was launched with plush dolls, funny t-shirts and the Toy Story Mania area at Disneyland California Adventure. The best part about the film(s) is not only the appeal they have for children but that the adults can enjoy it just as much. That’s an impressive feat and we’re all hooked as a result. 2010′s Toy Story 3 brings some old friendly faces back to the big screen, like the piggy bank named Hamm. “Lotso” (short for Lots-O’-Huggin Bear) is the newest member of the bunch. June 18th in the release date and the world is sitting in anticipation . With such a great time in store, who wouldn’t be.
The first of the Karate Kid series was a critically acclaimed coming of age story about a student-mentor relationship and the battle for dignity against the dishonorable Cobra Kai. It brought us classic phrases like “wax on, wax off” and “sweep the leg”, the crane kick has entered the martial arts lexicon, and the film launched Ralph Macchio’s career as a teen sensation. It would see three sequels, all popular, but critically none would have the cult reputation of the iconic first film, which is still merchandised and quoted to this day.
However, a new challenger finally enters to make a grab for Macchio’s throne. Produced by Will Smith and starring his son Jaden, 2010′s upcoming Karate Kid movie has a June 11th release date and a world of anticipation behind it. More of a reboot than a remake, Karate Kid 2010 brings the action overseas to Beijing, and focuses on kung fu over the more traditional karate from the original. Though Pat Morita (Mr. Miyagi) has sadly passed on, he finds a suitable replacement in film legend Jackie Chan, playing Mr. Han, a kung-fu master passing on his kung fu secrets to the new “karate kid”. While the characters and fighting style may have changed, the film looks to keep the spirit intact, and with filming being performed on location in places like the Great Wall of China it looks to be the authentic martial arts film fans have been dying to see. Respectfully, the new film will contain a few homages to the original, including a variation on the fly-catching training sequence. While the great cast and location should keep old fans satisfied, this will prove to be a great time to get a whole new generation in on the Karate Kid legend, and bring “strike first strike hard no mercy sir” back to the warrior repertoire once again.
Scheduled to air on June 6th, The Hangover tops the charts receiving 6 award nominations. Topping other favorites such as Twilight, New Moon, and Avatar. All of which have 5 award nominations.
The Hangover is the epitome of “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”. Otherwise know as Sin City, the sought after location for hosting bachelor parties. And after this movie, who isn’t ready for a trip to Vegas?! Zach Galifiniakas puts on a stellar role as the weird groomsman “Alan” (nominated for Best Comedic Performance and Best Breakout Star).
Check out some of these cool t-shirts 2Bhip carries and pack these on the next Vegas trip, you’ll be sure to turn some heads and get some laughs!
Do you know what size t-shirt to order? Mens or Womens?…..Adult Womens or Juniors?. Rest assured there are answers to your questions because t-shirt sizes are more than small, medium, large, mens or womens.
Choosing the Right T-Shirt Size:
2Bhip carries a wide array of different t-shirt cuts and styles from young to old! We carry a wide line of products from multiple manufacturers, each of whom may have slight variations in cut and measurements. However, our tees can be grouped into five main categories, Adult, Juniors, Toddlers, Youth, and Juvenile, that should provide a universally consistent fit once the right style is chosen.
Adult
These tees represent the standard t-shirt cut and comprise the bulk of our stock. The measurements on these tees are relatively standard, and matching your usual t-shirt size to ours should never be a problem. Some manufacturers print on adult t-shirts but have slight size variations, such as with our More Cowbell and Jack Bauer t-shirts, these rare instances will have a note in the description letting you know to go a size up for the typical loose fit.
Juniors
Juniors tees, also known as babydoll, are cut very thin and typically have a soft feel to be very form-fitting. Intended for teenage girls and slim women, juniors t-shirts are recommended for buyers who are already familiar with juniors t-shirts and already know their appropriate size. Elsewhere they can simply be called “women’s t-shirts”, and for the inexperienced going a size up could be a great idea, especially if you’re between sizes.
Toddlers
These are cute t-shirts intended for children aged 1 through 4 years, considered the first step up from rompers. Sizes typically go by two year increments, a 2T being 1-2 years old, a 3T being 2-3 years old, and so on. As always, these sizes represent typical guidelines and a previous purchase of a toddler t-shirt is a great way to know the right size. As kids grow up fast, going up a size may be a good idea for those not sure.
Juvenile & Youth
Juvenile and Youth t-shirts are both intended for children, who use their own size chart. Children’s sizes run from 4-20, with Juvenile shirts running from 4-7, and Youth tees running from 8-20. Juvenile shirts are intended for children as the next step up from a toddler’s t-shirt, and by proxy Youth t-shirts are for children who have outgrown Juvenile sizes. As all children grow differently, buying a size up can be a good idea for children on the “edge” of a size.
As different manufacturers use slightly different sizing, the best option to ensure the best fit for you is to give us a call at (610)421-4447! We’ll be happy to assist you with measurements for any t-shirt you’re interested in to ensure you receive the perfect size for you!

Jack Bauer is undeniably immortal (some say he made both the chicken and the egg, and the ensuing paradox is what killed the dinosaurs), but 24 now faces a self-imposed end at it’s eighth and final day. This season will finish off eight years of counter terrorist action and masterfully fast-paced suspense it’s rivals could never approach. Though there is a feature film in the works to follow up the series, it will still be hard for the show’s 10 million+ fans to watch the clock finally stop. Any 24 fan can hype up the excitement of the latest season, and explain the week-by-week thrill of watching multiple concurrent subplots converge bit by bit into a no-doubt explosive finale. But let’s say you’re a little sketchy on the details. “Jack Bauer who?”, you say. “Why’s everybody talking so fast, and why is that guy getting so brutally tortured on primetime television”? Luckily, with eight past seasons to keep you busy there’s never been a better time to get into 24, and with the series soon about to go down in history as a classic it’s worth taking a look back on this prime-time tv show phenomenon.
While the characters and organizations stay consistent, each season of 24 offers a totally new terrorist situation for special agent Jack Bauer to avert. From stopping a presidential assassination to disarming nuclear bombs hidden across a city, 24 always keeps the stakes high and the situations fresh. The most obvious innovation is the 24 hour time limit to each season, each episode taking place over one hour in real time. Thus, without relying on time jumps and flashbacks to tell the story, 24 is able to offer a genuinely frantic experience that forces you to experience new developments at the same exact pace as the characters involved. Because subverting a suitcase nuke conspiracy has no dull moments, neither does 24, and it’s this innovation that puts you literally right there in the moment with Jack Bauer.
Played by Kiefer Sutherland, CTU special agent Jack Bauer has amassed a cult following all his own. His job is to prevent major terrorist attacks on the United States, but his claim to fame is his brutal approach to counterterrorism. One of the shows main themes is whether the ends justify his brutal means, Jack is not above using torture and fierce interrogation to accomplish his mission. These uncompromising methods have become infamous, and given him the cult following we see today. One of the most famous Jack Bauer moments involves his lengthy Chinese imprisonment, where he withstood two years of torture without saying a word. While most prison escape plots in television involve whittling out lockpicks and digging through tiles, Jack Bauer ultimately escaped torture by tearing out a man’s jugular vein with his teeth. Move over Chuck Norris! He can also speak multiple languages, fly both airplanes and helicopters, has expertise in firearms and explosives, and can allegedly blow up the moon just by screaming at it. All in all, not a bad resume.
So, facing the end of a 192 episode run, having stopped eight seperate major terrorist plots that nobody else could, it’s only fitting that Keifer Sutherland should get the last word on the show he made iconic. From a March press release from Fox:
“This has been the role of a lifetime, and I will never be able to fully express my appreciation to everyone who made it possible. While the end of the series is bittersweet, we always wanted 24 to finish on a high note, so the decision to make the eighth season our last was one we all agreed upon. This feels like the culmination of all our efforts from the writers to the actors to our fantastic crew and everyone at Fox. Looking ahead to the future, Howard Gordon and I are excited about the opportunity to create the feature film version of 24. But when all is said and done, it is the loyal worldwide fan base that made it possible for me to have the experience of playing the role of Jack Bauer, and for that I am eternally grateful.”
Power Rangers was adapted directly from a Japanese superhero team show called Super Sentai, one of the most popular of it’s kind in Japan. Using the hit Super Sentai show as stock footage, and filming brand new scenes with American actors for the overseas market, the end result was Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Featuring a team of costumed warriors chosen to destroy the evil sorceress Rita Repulsa, virtually every episode climaxed in a super sized Godzilla-style duel between one of Rita’s henchmen and the iconic Megazord, a giant robotic combination of prehistoric power animals that time and time again becomes humanity’s salvation and just about the coolest thing a child of the 90s had ever seen.
No slouches on their feet though, Power Rangers also featured plenty of martial arts action and a memorable and wide variety of villains for the Power Rangers to tag-team kick in the face. Wearing it’s kung-fu film inspirations on it’s sleeve, Power Rangers offered a brand of action that the rest of children’s television just couldn’t keep up with. Perhaps this is why against all odds the show saw immediate overnight success and sixteen more Power Rangers series were soon to follow, switching up the outfits, members, and villains and sending the team around the world and into the furthest reaches of space. How’s that for epic in scope?
Proving that Japanese entertainment could have huge crossover appeal, one could even argue that Power Rangers was a crucial predecessor to the anime movement today. The use of stock footage kept production costs down and made the show easily distributable just as the anime style was designed to do, and when a robot pterodactyl is tackling a giant putty monster no red-blooded American child is going to notice. An appreciation for dinosaurs, matching jumpsuits, big robots, and flying drop kicks is practically encoded into our DNA, and this is apparent because Power Rangers became a tour-de-force that stretched on for over sixteen years.
They’ve been samurai, ninjas, space police, wizards, and more, but deep down we all have a soft spot for the original six; Jason, Zack, Trini, Kim, Billy, and Tommy. They were the team that got us hooked, and they were the team that every kid wanted to join. However, it’s not for the faint of heart; your enemies are merciless and frequently the size of buildings. Your friendly neighborhood Green Ranger was always off joining the competition and unearthing mystical swords of darkness, stomping around in his big metal dinosaur all the while. And in spite of everything, the Power Morpher comes with great responsibility. You must serve and protect, and only act in defense of the people (you can’t simply go stomping on little putty men in your giant Megazord all day long no matter how awesome that sounds to you). But the perks are nice! Kung fu, zords, and your choice of prehistoric beast to lead into battle. Are you a T-rex, or more of a triceratops? Is the ferocious saber toothed tiger more your speed? A Power Ranger costume is a big decision, but remember, it’s all for the greater good. A world ruled by a malicious skeletal space emperor with an exposed brain is no world that I’d want to live in!
Following the sitcom formula with a chemist’s determination, The Big Bang Theory features the straight man, the wacky one, the love interest, the popular one, and the shy one; the time tested tropes of sitcom success. Each character falls in line with the sitcom tropes to a “T”, leaving everyone outside the laugh track wondering just what’s so different about this seemingly generic sitcom.
For starters, it’s main characters aren’t every men in the slightest. Named Leonard and Sheldon, they are two Cal-tech prodigies in the physics trade, with IQs over 170 and multiple Ph.D.s. Their friends are Howard and Rajesh, a master engineer and astrophysicist respectively. In this way, The Big Bang Theory turns the idea of the modern sitcom on it’s head by making it’s characters so smart as to be seemingly unrelatable. It’s “breakout character” Sheldon built a CAT scanner, a nuclear reactor, and received a Ph.D. all before he was sixteen. With all of Big Bang’s talk about twistor theory, darkmatter, and bosonic string theory, you’d think it’d go right over the heads of it’s audience, but that’s where the brilliance of Big Bang Theory comes into play.
See, despite their genius level IQs, they still have to share an apartment, awkwardly chase the girl next door, learn to drive a car, and deal with the anguish of a girlfriend who believes in psychics. As a collective of geniuses constantly hovering around one another at work and home, they are forced to deal with social situations that they are too smart to understand, rather than too dense. This way, Big Bang Theory turns sitcoms upside down, but still proves that geniuses still have to go through the same societal chores as the rest of us, creating a scenario where characters with nothing in common with a viewer could still be totally relatable. Want proof? This award-winning TV show is already renewed for a fourth season and is syndicated to over fifty countries worldwide, and you don’t need a particle physics degree to see why.
Filled with classic lines and characters, and projected to run well into the future, Big Bang Theory provides an advanced science-oriented comedy that everyone can relate to, and characters we can laugh both with and at. Big Bang Theory t-shirts have never been so in demand, with Bazinga t-shirt fever about to hit prime time by storm. An added bonus: All the show’s science is fact-checked by professionals, ensuring a scientifically accurate and fascinating experience for those who choose to dig deep into this hit show!
Though it was actually The Next Generation that served as the bulk of the series, it’s the original that gets Trekkies everywhere the most nostalgic. It’s where everything we love about Star Trek all started, and it was one of the main sci-fi programs to introduce the mainstream to the appeal of science fiction. Featuring bizarre alien races, imaginative and complex technology, and plot lines dealing with relevant, hard-hitting moral and sociological issues, Star Trek proved that sci-fi can be more than pew-pew laser blasting and UFOs, it can teach us something about the human race itself and it’s coming future. A classic episode like “City on The Edge of Forever” deals with the consequences of rewriting history, forcing the crew to deliberately let someone die in order to save the future. In an episode like “Friday’s Child”, the crew is forced into a planet’s tribal power struggle, forcing them to integrate into new social strata and accept strange new laws or lose their lives in the process. Far above any of it’s rivals, Star Trek had serious points to make, and was therefore nominated for a dozen Emmy awards, an amazing feat indeed for a show ironically facing cancellation.
That’s right. Amazingly enough, given it’s modern fan base of millions, dedicated like no others, the first Star Trek series only lasted three seasons and ended in cancellation. It only made it that far through the volume of fan demand, only making it to it’s last season through an extensive and unprecedented letter-writing campaign. Only after it’s cancellation did NBC realize the property they were dealing with, and the smash success of The Next Generation would solidify just how strong the impact of Star Trek on sci-fi culture was. By then, it was too late to fix their mistake and give Kirk a few more years on the Enterprise, with the smash success of The Next Generation the only consolation.
The old crew retired their uniforms years too soon, leaving Trekkies dying for a few new adventures with Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Sulu, and the rest of the first generation crew to this day. If they won’t fill their old uniforms again, why not fill it for them? You may not have a constitution class warp-drive spaceship at your disposal, but you no doubt have a burning desire to boldly go where no man has before, and that’s what counts. Whether it be Star Trek uniform t-shirts or baby onesies, running the spectrum from Captain Kirk, the scientific and mysterious Spock, and the engineering expertise of Scotty. These feature the classic colors and designs down to the Starfleet badge. The only question is which role you want to play.
Come on, sing along! “It seems today that all you see is violence in movies and sex on TV” You know it! That’s the beginning to the Family Guy theme song. I hear it every night as I crawl into bed to enjoy my favorite animated series while sipping a diet coke. The Griffin family has to be the most twisted dysfunctional family in America! Stewie certainly steals the show with his frequently quoted phrases and often offensive antics. Stewie was absolutely Born to be Bad! What infant has the odasity to walk around saying “You Know You want me!” Or “Whatever lets you sleep at night bitch!” He doesn’t play well with others! My favorite phrase is “That’s the good stuff” as Stewie bends over releasing some…uh…flatulance.
Speaking of Stewie, what is everyone’s take on his communication with the family…do they or don’t they understand him? I think it’s clear that Brian understands him and there seems to be situations where other members of the family do respond and react to him. Below is an example from the episode titled “Dial Meg for Murder” (Sarcasm from Stewie)
Meg: What’d you say, Brian?
Brian: Oh, I-I was just picking up on something Lois said. What-what was it? What’d you say, Lois? Something about Meg being a freak?
Lois: Oh, no, I didn’t say anything. Uh, Peter said something about Meg, which I completely disagree with.
Peter: That-that-that wasn’t me. Stewie was really laying into Meg about something.
Chris: Yeah, it was Stewie.
Lois: Definitely Stewie.
Stewie: Oh, so now everyone understands me.
According to Family Guy creator Seth Macfarlane, Stewie is really talking, but most of the family members ignore him the way most people generally ignore things said by small children. Macfarlane also confirmed that Brian can understand him.
Kids, what time is it??? It’s time for another sing-a-long!!!
It’s peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time
Where he at? (sing 4 times)
There he go (sing 4 times)
Peanut butter jelly (sing 4 times)
Do the peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat (sing 2 times)
Now break it down and freeze!
There’s more to it but I have to catch my breath. Lois would be so proud!
The show is in it’s 8th season and while it is a cartoon, the content of the show is intended for a mature audience. As with many shows, there are topics covered that may be controversial and potentially ruffle some feathers. Recently, there was an episode that featured a Down Syndrome character played by Andrea Fray Friedman, an actress with Down Syndrome. The character said that her mother was the former governor of Alaska. Sarah Palin was not amused by this episode as her son Trig has Down Syndrome. Palin appeared on the O’Reilly Factor and denounced creator of Family Guy, Seth Macfarlane. The actress released a statement that Sarah Palin does not have a sense of humor and that the actress is perfectly content with her life. Seth Macfarlane was questioned about the episode and was featured on Bill Maher’s show. Check out the video below if you haven’t seen it yet:
