This hilarious tee features a mashup of two 80s television icons, James "Sonny" Crockett of Miami Vice and Buckwheat of the Little Rascals. Although William Thomas Jr., the actor who originated the role of Buckwheat, passed away in 1980, the spirit of the character was alive and well in the 80s. This was largely thanks to comedian Eddie Murphy, who performed a wildly popular impression of Buckwheat on Saturday Night Live. Murphy's impression was featured in several sketches, and it became so overwhelmingly sought after, that Murphy actually decided to kill him off on the show.

Murphy's interpretation sparked a renewed interest in the character, and Buckwheat became the subject of numerous pop culture parodies, including the one featured here. During its run from 1984 to 1989, Miami Vice proved to be more than just your typical police drama, it became a paragon of 80s pop culture. The show spawned fashion trends like pastel suits and Ray Ban sunglasses, and it was notorious for featuring the hottest new wave hits of the decade. Thus this humorous tee is quintessential 80s, as it combines the two pop culture phenomenoms.

Fits like a modern unisex adult large. There is some discoloration on the right sleeve when wearing, see pics.
