    I think I prefer the bread and the mantis, myself.

  2. Le puk says:

    Hmm, what do happen?

  3. McBee says:

    Portal quote in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .

  4. dr handle says:

    Cake is delicious. It’s the butterfly that is a lie.

    • JohnB says:

      So I gather you’ve tasted the butterfly?

      • dr handle says:

        I’ve tasted many bugs. An unfortunate side effect of getting around on a motorcycle with the visor up on a nice day. Still, low in fat, high in fibre, dolphin friendly, no added sugar, no MSG, maybe not a complete dietary disaster. It tasted terrible, so it could in fact have been good for me.

  5. McBee says:

    Why of course, Butterflie.

  6. JohnB says:

    You know what they say: you can’t have your cake and butterfly too.

    • Droll not Troll says:

      But U can haz butterfly cakes!

      • JohnB says:

        Then I guess I shouldn’t have thrown out that cake that had cocoons in it!

        • dr handle says:

          No, butterfly cakes are wonderful concoctions of weeny leetle cupcakes with the centre cut out, and a bit of jam and cream dolloped in, then you cut the cut-out bit in half and wedge them in the cream so that they look like wings. They were the cupcakes we had before the advent of gourmet cupcakes. You make them, then shove them into your mouth three at a time. Or maybe that’s just me.

          • Droll not Troll says:

            You have to be careful not to inhale while putting them in your mouth. The icing sugar dusting can be murder!

        • Droll not Troll says:

          Hell, no! Obviously, it was a larva cake!

  7. IJ Styles says:

    I also like the cake and butterfly.. lol.. : )

  8. Gorgon Medusa says:

    What do happen?

    Mary Antoinette found out the hard way…

  9. darthkain says:

    “What do happen?”
    Someone set up us the bomb. We get signal.

  10. Jennifer says:

    What do happen!?

    One day I like to eat raw beets and chase hornets…now I like the cake and the butterfly!

  11. saywhat says:

    Butterfly eat cake. That what do happen. Now scram.

  12. buckinarut says:

    Funny shirt. It starts out kinda street/hip-hop/gangsta- “What Do Happen?” but ends real hippy-like with butterflies.

    Is “I Want to Eat the Cake” kinda House or Techno?

  13. JohnB says:

    Many mornings, dew happen.

  14. cocinero says:

    So what type of English is it when the engrish.com caption writer can’t read the Engrish in a picture?

    • buckinarut says:

      Character on T-shirt- I want to eat the cake.
      Caption Writer responding to that particular line- Me too! We should hang out some time.

      I see no problem with the caption writer’s reading comprehension. Yours, however….

      • cocinero says:

        You are talking about the part on top. I am talking about the caption found underneath. The shirt says “want”; underneath, it says “like”. I would have a talk with the comment moderator about allowing you to embarrass yourself like that.

        • buckinarut says:

          So your getting in your Wonder Woman underoos get all in a bind because of that? That looks like a typo; so typo would be the term in English.

          Not necessary to become a troll, although it is a good way to attract the attention of the moderator.
          El “cocinero” es jodido. (I used ser and not estar, since with you this is a permanent condition.)

          • buckinarut says:

            So your getting your…. speaking of typos.

          • cocinero says:

            I’m not getting anything in a bind, I’m just pointing out irony. For the record though, a typo would be accidentally hitting one wrong letter or using a similar sounding word.

            Trolls, by the way, pick fights. You’re the one that went on the attack on my reading comprehension. You’re the one that once proven wrong on that point shifted the attack instead of admitting their mistake. Who is the troll here?

            As far as the moderator is concerned, they should google “jojido” and then maybe have a talk with you about how you conduct yourself. Feel free to continue with the ad hominems; they are the last refuge of the defeated.

            • buckinarut says:

              Your definition of typo is way too restrictive. For the record, most typos involve simple duplication, omission, transposition, or substitution of a word or a small number of characters, which is far more than “accidentally hitting one wrong letter or using a similar sounding word.” Transposition is the problem here, so my initial statement stands, so I had no mistake to admit to (you pointing out that I picked the wrong statement in my initial comment was a mistake that I didn’t deny; if I screw up I’ve got no problem conceding the fact, and I mistook which phrase you were pointing out).

            • buckinarut says:

              Trolls, by the way, don’t necessarily pick fights. They’re just hostile or obnoxious, and about half, give or take, don’t stick around to fight; they are hit and run. I was called a nasty word by someone I’ve never seen before on the site and haven’t seen since to continue any fight. Your definition of a troll is a bit limited, too.

            • buckinarut says:

              Your first two points are moot because your definitions are overly restrictive; you must be a politician, since you cherry pick the meanings you want to support your assertions. That doesn’t work if you’re going to argue with me.

              • cocinero says:

                Mostly because you like to do the same thing. You don’t like my definition because they don’t make you right.

                You should probably get outside more instead of writing books to people that aren’t quite as vested in a web site as you seem to be. As far as my “snark” is concerned, the comment passed moderation; it would seem the site is not as full of itself as you are. Nobody likes a self-appointed cop.

            • buckinarut says:

              You made the statement, “I would have a talk with the comment moderator about allowing you to embarrass yourself like that.” That to me sounds like an insult, since I’ve done nothing to embarrass myself and you are arrogant enough to think so; you are hostile and a bit poisoning to the atmosphere of light humor that is the rule on this site, hence if you inject hostility where none was before, by definition you’re being a troll. I think your behavior is asinine and if you’re gonna be a smartass, I’ll counter-attack.
              You are the troll here. If you’ve read my other comments you’d know I’m not too damn serious or hostile as a rule when commenting. I only pointed out that the mistake you pointed out was nothing of consequence, at least to me, and by extension your tone of superiority rooted in your first comment (and all those following) was really unnecessary and founded upon nothing.

            • buckinarut says:

              If anyone googles “jojido”, they won’t find squat. Seems like you are guilty of the sin you set out to highlight in others. You also dish out, but can’t take it in return. I don’t back down from that last assertion, either. I did ratchet up the hostility a little, but you got snarky and my patience with that crap has been worn down to the nub. I only apologize to the rest of the Engrish.com community for being a bit nasty, but I don’t regret it. I don’t like you, for all the reasons given.

            • dr handle says:

              Now now, cocinero, there’s no need to be snarky, just because you didn’t get the photo title joke. Sometimes I don’t get it straightaway, either, but I don’t jump down the mod’s throat (or anyone else’s) about it. Remain clam – you will soon receive strong funny.

              • buckinarut says:

                You made the same mistake I did. He/she/it was referring to what was under the picture, which usually isn’t what you or I tend to look at. Instead of “I want to eat the cake” whomever wrote the caption put “I like to eat the cake.” I didn’t find it to be a capital crime since it was little more than a typo, but cocinero differed in his/her/its opinion, both about its importance and whether or not it was a typo.

                You detected snarkiness? I sure as hell did. And I wasn’t in the mood for that crap. Grrrrrrr.

    • JohnB says:

      An error in transcribing! My God, how DARE anyone who is not perfect submit a picture to engrishfunny.com! Speaking of which, those who criticize should at least know what website they are on at the time. This is NOT engrish.com. Criticism FAIL! Funny how many of the critical posts here contain errors!

      • buckinarut says:

        Kinda my whole point, and my general rule of conduct around these comments, is that anal retentiveness has no place here. Especially anal retentiveness with attitude. That is definitely a buzz kill.

        I say, MORE LOLS, LESS GRRRRRS!

  15. tehexile says:

    if I eat butterflies i’ll get butterflies in my stomach…

  16. UltimateExtreme says:

    The cake is a lie.

  17. giraffie says:

    Maybe she’s on a diet. Although I’m not sure about the nutritional value of a butterfly, it’s probably less fattening then a cake.

  18. Mar. S says:

    Is this a reference to “christmas cake”? (In Japan a woman over 25 who isn’t married is called “christmas cake”. As in “no one wants to eat christmas cake after the holidays”.)

  19. enejac says:

    I doesnt living?

  20. ritchie says:

    WTF shirt

  21. Funnel Cake says:

    Dudes….

    It’s a stoned little girl. :-/ Look at those eyes.

    Munchies=wanting cake.

    Then she gets distracted and decides liking the butterfly is cooler than having cake. So then she wants both. Of COURSE that in itself doesn’t make a lick of sense. But to her, it’s the ultimate dilemma.

    It appears, however, that the butterfly is a lie. The hell kind of butterfly is green with a red dot in the middle. Methinks it be a trap.

  22. EABray says:

    oh my god i need that shirt

  23. Jennifer says:

    I was pretty happy when I found this shirt. Creepy girl with bad English combined! What you can’t see from this picture is that it even has real thread hair that is done 3D, it’s nearly perfect.

    look like she has ADHD
