Never Had A 2nd Cop Show Up Bear Shirt

Every neighborhood has that one house where the noise complaint calls come in pairs, and somehow the party keeps going anyway. The Never Had A 2nd Cop Show Up Bear Shirt is a graphic tee made for anyone who’s been on the receiving end of a second knock at the door and treated it like a badge of honor instead of a warning.

A Bear That’s Clearly Seen Some Things

The artwork sits front and center on the chest, a grizzly bear rendered in heavy black-and-white linework, half-closed eyes, a cigarette hanging from its mouth like it’s dealt with this exact crowd before. The bear’s face takes up nearly the whole print, so that deadpan expression is the first thing anyone notices instead of a background detail you have to squint at. No explanation needed. Underneath, bold statement lettering spells out the joke in full, curved slightly so it reads more like a citation than a slogan.

It plays off a familiar joke about people who can’t keep a gathering under control, but instead of hiding that reputation, this design leans into it. Compared to a plain crewneck with a phrase slapped across the front, this one hands the line to a character who looks like he’s lived it, which is what makes the joke land instead of just sitting there as text.

Built For The Backyard, Not The Boardroom

This works as a funny bear t-shirt for cookouts, tailgates, or any weekend where the music runs a little too loud for a little too long. It also holds up as a gift for the friend who always ends up explaining things to a police officer, and it wears fine as an everyday tee for people who just like a bear with an attitude problem. We put this one together at Teebete because most of us know at least one person who fits the description, and drawing that bear felt more honest than writing another generic party slogan.

Pull it on before the next get-together. The bear will handle the introductions before anyone has to explain the story again.
