The Origin Story Nobody Asked For
11pm. Slightly caffeinated. Staring at a blank wall.
It started the way most good ideas start: at 11pm, slightly caffeinated, staring at a blank wall and wondering if this is it. This being life, specifically. In 2023, Philippe launched PrintifyApparel.ca — a Canadian custom printing operation out of Camrose, Alberta. It turns out, people really wanted custom shirts. And some of them were hilarious.
Philippe had a printer. Philippe had opinions. Philippe had a deep and abiding belief that Canadians deserved better t-shirts — shirts that said what we were all thinking but were too polite to actually say out loud. In early 2026, FunnyTees.ca launched as the funny-shirts spinoff of that same operation. Same printer. Same person. Considerably more goose content.
The first design was a shirt that said “I’m Fine” in the font used on highway road signs. It sold out in 48 hours. Mostly to people in Ontario, which tracks.
Since then, we’ve expanded to eight categories of funny Canadian t-shirts covering the full spectrum of the Canadian emotional experience — from Canadian life and dad jokes to existential dread and work frustration.
Our Mission
“To make shirts so funny that at least one family member will ask you to please not wear that to dinner.”
Every shirt is printed by Philippe, personally, in Canada. Not in a warehouse overseas. Not by a robot (except Brenda, who we consider a colleague). By one human who genuinely cares about the shirt arriving looking great and making you laugh.
The Team
(Note: Philippe Allaire is the sole actual employee. Brenda is a printer. Dave is a goose. Marguerite evaluates shirts unpaid and uninvited.)
Philippe Allaire
Founder, Head Printer, Chief Vibe Officer
Philippe Allaire is the founder of FunnyTees.ca and has been running PrintifyApparel.ca, a Canadian custom printing operation, since 2023. FunnyTees.ca launched in 2026 as the funny side of that same operation — same printer, same person, considerably more goose content.
Brenda (The Printer)
Production Manager, Ink Specialist
Philippe named the printer Brenda. Brenda has opinions. She jams when she doesn't like the design. She's been right every time. We respect Brenda.
Dave the Goose
Brand Ambassador, Threat Assessment
Dave is a Canada Goose who lives near the warehouse. He doesn't work here officially but he has opinions about delivery schedules and will chase you if you're late.
Marguerite (Philippe's Mom)
Quality Assurance, Unsolicited Feedback
Marguerite doesn't officially work here but she evaluates every shirt and lets Philippe know when something 'isn't quite right.' She hasn't been wrong yet.
What We Actually Believe
Laughter is the second-best coping mechanism (the first is poutine)
Quality matters. A funny shirt on cheap fabric is just a sad fabric.
Shipping should be fast. Philippe tries his best. Canada Post has its own timeline.
You should be able to return stuff without writing a 3-paragraph essay.
Being Canadian doesn't mean being boring. It means being funny about being cold.
