There are few things harder to watch than when someone acts like they are much more successful than they really are (ala Destroy the Ghost). The part that’s really cringeworthy is that it’s crystal clear to everybody but the participants that they’re not fooling anybody, so you watch them prance around like a complete asshole, knowing that in their mind they’ve successfully tricked everyone into thinking that they’re living the dream when in reality it’s precisely the opposite.
For example, this promo video for some z-level brand called Branville (note that it has 250 views, ouch). You’ll have a hard time making it all the way through, but it’s worth watching as a great example of how to make yourself look like an asshole via ‘starting a clothing company’:
- Print some cheap 1-color shirts with generic slogan in Impact font
- Call up a few 7.5s from the local hair school
- Stand around the pool at a motel in Palm Desert at 2pm on a Tuesday acting like you are rubbing elbows with A-listers in the VIP
- ???
PROFITBreak even if you’re lucky
Oh yeah, and I think you can see this guy’s weiner on Is Anyone Up if you want.
$20 says those girls had to give the shirts back when they done filming this.
So sad when people invest so much in overpriced shirts that anyone could probably make on their own for less money. But its the natural next-step when a bro’s scene band/rap project doesn’t work out.
Those chicks were at least 8.5′s.
Would totally bang the chicks
would, yes, but those are NOT 8.5s brah
also, raise your hand if you’ve been away from females for months and stuck beating off to sand dunes…
*raises hand*
0_o *raises hand*
*Watches as everybody currently on the internet raises their hands*
*raises hand*
You forgot to mention ply wood walls that go 3/4ths of the way to the ceiling so that the guy in the room over can hear everything. he can hear it all.
I’d say 6′s, maybe a 7.
One of the dudes is wearing a wife beater under his stupid cut down the sides tshirt. Fuck white people.
Fuck black people.
As a representative of white ppl I take no responsibility for his actions.
^ backed hard?
Would smash. The one in the pink is a 7 and the other two are 6s.
Turns out you get a 404 if you try to look at the webstore. That’s what I call quality.
i have a theory on why they are not successful.
no impact font.
slogans not controversial enough and/or not linked to anthemic breakdown part in a metalcore song
because you know we’re gonna PARTY FOR A LIVING BITCH!!! OOOOOH!!! *chug chug chug-chugga chug-chug*
I mean how hard would it have been to get some Risecore band to put that in a song??
Step 1-Mix of TDWP and Parkway Drive riffs
Step 2-Arbiter method for breakdowns
Step 3-PARTY FOR A LIVING BITCH!!!!
Step 4-???
Step 5-Profit!
Exactly!
3 girls… 3 guys… the ratios are off. I’d feel bad for the other two dudes having to share the ugly girl.
Shitty clothing companys. What like Tapout or Affliction.
Drawing skulls bought my car.
Thats what you get with teenage kids and a pirated edition of Adobe Suite, a pay pal account and webstores like MerchNow and Merch Direct. Everyone thinks they are a shirt designer just cause they can afford to slap a bunch of generic stock fonts on a t shirt and get it printed through an online store that also handles the shipping as well.
i bet once they find out about this they will say THANKS FOR MAKING US MORE POPULARRRR
Heh, my brother and I have been sort of joking about starting a clothing company. because it seems so easy to buy/import tshirts from somewhere, put stupid shit on them and sell them for $80+ in new zealand. the primary market for paying out the ass for stupid tshirts is a demographic we call “chadsters”, which are basically jocks combined with entry level hipsters. They have lots of money via rich parents, want to fit in via hipsters and are stupid as fuck via jocks so they will spend $110 on an am appy shirt with a picture of two polar bears blowing each other without a second thought. Maybe im mistaken and its a huge pain in the ass, or maybe the trendy streetwear business is just way more cutthroat in the US?
Two polar bears blowing each other? Make that two lesbian polar bears eating each other out and I’ll take one in XL!
i know so many people like that, i didn’t even realize it until now
The streetwear market in the us is competitive as fuck, no doubt about that. NZ seems like a pretty sophisicated market but if theres an opening, do it!
A post that expresses how I’ve been feeling. I’m tired of seeing these stupid clothing brands that douche bags set up thinking they are some ace brand but they are all unimaginative and no one wants them.
Lol @ the Bridge Club sitting by the pool at :30 and :43.
thats the dude’s mom and aunt
Lowest I’ll go is 8. I can’t see 7.5, which reads C+ to me.
Oh and yea, the whole image they are going for is so fake.
well, yeah. they are lame, prolly be the bros that get butthurt when I drink all their booze and make their girlfriends laugh at them.
Is it just me or does the guy in the red’s shirt have an Aryan Pride logo on it?
I was totally prepared for this to be about Diamond Cut, while admittedly this is a lot fucking worse. The girls definitely aren’t unattractive, so I’m going to say their incentive for doing this was $15 or “hey ladies, who wants a FREE T-SHIRT EVERYONE LOVES A FREE T-SHIRT HAHA RITE????”. I cannot stand the new streetwear culture breaking out. I’m not sure whether these losers even qualify, but I’m sick of seeing my friends shell out $60 for some lame ass t-shirt with a shitty generic minimal design on it. It’s just about the brand name, it’s all K-Mart tier shit.
Euthanise your friends.
>K-Mart tier
lol’d hard, TROOF
This video was really painful to watch.
I can only imagine what that old lady sitting by the pool was thinking about those people using retarded t-shirts with a retarded print on it and drinking.
Opening animation on their website is so underwhelming – as in I’d be disappointed to be at that kind of entry-level event.
And whatup with the Kramer hair dude with the horrifically bad tattoos? I was almost mesmerized by the terrible work…
Also, are the girls sisters/cousins/daughter’s of one of their mom’s friends?
hahahaha, hilariously sad
inb4 MGMT sends them a cease and desist
Does the one in the red shirt wear that sailor hat to show his authority? Kind of like he’s the captain of the project.
anyone else notice the old lady sitting in the pool behind them?
“BranVille Clothing begain in the streets of Los Angeles, CA in 2008. Starting out as just street art…”
So these dudes were tagging/stenciling/wheatpasting “party for a living” on walls? Bullshit.

crappest partiers ever, crapartying to the crappest song ever. the metros doing cumshots with their drinks gave me a mild, slightly nauseous laughy feeling. scarred
dude.. i thought tha same shit.. where they pour it in his mouth like and he squirts some out.. i was like man fuck that, there’s no way i would’ve wanted that shot of me in the video if i was in that shit. super homo.
Brooks Brothers once an American icon has taken the route of attempting to follow the demographics of sleaze with its shrunken appearing suits, blazers and sport-coats modeled on what appear to be anorexics in the last stages of some dreadfully contagious disease. Like $5,000.00 dollar stolen hubcaps on an oil burning old Plymouth the look reeks of what-a-be underachievement and a congenital absence of hygiene and taste.
