It's a nice idea, but I'm not sure that the character is recognizable enough. I've seen Fawlty Towers, and I didn't know who the shirt was parodying until reading it.
Dammit, it's just an idea, not reality yet. I had my wallet out and everything. I totally recognized good ol manuel!
What is Fawlty Towers?
That is supremely funny :D Que? Que? :D
The creator, mictoboy, has a cafepress site so you can get this design on a t-shirt, (search on cafepress for mictoboy) BUT you can't get a red shirt with the logo! The closest you can get is selecting a dark shirt and change the color to red, however it has a white box with the logo inside. (bleh!) I'm at work and stuff is blocked, but if someone can email him and ask him to upload the design without the white box onto the dark shirt, this would be a killer t-shirt!
Killer.
DO WANT!
i see this shirt and a thousand hilarious moments come flooding through my head. "kipper and the corpse", anyone? que??
I don't write the net abbreviation LOL unless I've actually laughed out loud.
LOL
Looks more like Earl Hickey...
That is the greatest thing I've seen since the last greatest thing I've seen. Do want.
Is cleancool now!
> It's a nice idea, but I'm not sure that the character is recognizable enough.
Exactly why it's brilliant. I'll take 2.
"He put Basil in ratatouille?!"
Great idea for a t-shirt.
I think it needs a white background to make the face pop out more like this:

Of course someone should find out if the guy who played Manuel, Andrew Sachs cares to have his image so appropriated or John Cleese or the BBC or whoever has all the rights minds first I'd think.
BTW, I substituted the seal of Barcelona for the communist star.
What a great idea. Someone please create this. I want one!
Yeah Manuel!!!!
