I am sadly ignorant of the joke in some of these. The last is self-explanatory, and I get the swastika and penis, but “oh yes we went there?” Edumacate my pop-culture deficient self.
oh wow I didn’t notice the first on was a swastika (thanks for pointing that out Mary) I just thought it was a way to flip gap into Da so we have Da Gap
“our clothes are sewn by china-men, hottentots, and other savages” — I don’t care if this is intended to be ironic. The end result is the same, you are recirculating terms and discourses that are racist to their core.

I didn’t notice the swastika at first. And I don’t get the ‘Oh yes, we went there’ either. (What is Comic Sans?)
I do love that last one, though.

Comic Sans is a blight on the world of typefaces.
I don’t get the onion one. Is it supposed to be for wearing on your belt?
