Why Dark Humor Gifts Mousepads for Professors
Academic life is pressure from every direction. Publish or perish, student evaluations, committee work, and the myth of the easy professor life. These stickers get it.
Dark humor isn't pessimism—it's advanced optimism. It's acknowledging that work can be soul-crushing while choosing to laugh about it anyway. These gifts are for the realists, the survivors, and anyone who's ever stared into the abyss of their inbox and felt it stare back. If gallows humor is your love language, welcome home.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is dark humor the same as being negative?
- No, it's being realistic with a sense of humor. Negative people complain. We make merch.
- Will HR have a problem with these gifts?
- HR has problems with everything. That's kind of their whole deal. But these are designed to be just vague enough.
- What size are the mousepads?
- Standard size (9.25" x 7.75") that fits any desk setup. Large enough to use, small enough to hide if the CEO does a walkthrough.
- Are these about students?
- Some reference the professor-student dynamic. Nothing mean.
