Over It & Burnt Out – Comedy Wall Plaque

Some days you feel inspired. Other days, your soul gets stuck buffering.

TEKA ORIGINALS 2025 PRESS RELEASE

_______________________________________________________________________________

When “rise and grind” becomes “cry and recline,” this plaque gets it.

For those of us whose love language is leaving things unread, and who respond to “How are you?” with a slow blink, we proudly present the Over It & Burnt Out wooden plaque. A cheeky, deadpan salute to the glorified chaos of modern life — where burnout is expected and quitting is rebranded as “setting boundaries.”

This is more than a funny quote plaque. It’s a comedy plaque that tells the truth, hung politely on the wall like you’re totally fine (spoiler: you're not). Whether you're drowning in Slack messages, coping with back-to-back existential crises, or just trying to avoid making eye contact with anyone before coffee, this sign sees you.

Observational Comedy, Mental Burnout Style

This plaque speaks for all of us who:

• Are emotionally logged out but still show up.

• Run on iced coffee and unrealistic expectations.

• Respond to pressure with… naps.

• Treat productivity as a threat to survival.

It’s sarcastic. It’s brutally honest. It’s exactly what your bedroom, office, or home workspace needs — a tiny wooden rebellion against hustle culture.

Why This Plaque Works

Burnout is universal — but comedy makes it bearable.
This plaque doesn’t just decorate a space — it creates a vibe. The kind of vibe where productivity is optional and crying in the break room is performance art. Here’s why people love it:

• Visually minimal, emotionally loud

• Bluntly relatable — no fluff, no “live, laugh, love”

• A conversation starter (and ender)

• Fits seamlessly into Gen Z, Boho, or “just surviving” decor styles

Situational Use:

• Hang it above your desk where hope used to be

• Gift it with a Starbucks card and a note that says “I tried”

• Use it to explain your current relationship with motivation (spoiler: it’s complicated)

Deep Vibes, Real Laughs:

This isn’t about being negative. It’s about being hilariously honest. “Over It & Burnt Out” represents a cultural shift — where mental health and comedy collide. It says:

“I’m still standing. Mostly because sitting feels like giving up.”

If your last clean spoon was a red flag and your to-do list has a body count, congratulations — you’ve found your plaque.
