(Episode 1-15)—I'll assume he means ketchup bottles.

189. Lips

188. Shower Scene

(Episode 2-9)—As off-putting as the word "moist."

187. Balls

182. Wide and Tight

(Episode 4-11)—What how.

181. VHS

(Episode 3-16)—I'll be honest. I can't read that hat. I think it says VHS, but some internet sources say it reads VWD, which is a hereditary bleeding disorder. Both are upsetting, so let's move on.

180. Seemiller Grip

(Episode 4-3)—Ping-Pong players know all the moves.

179. Rescue Team

(Episode 2-13)—Yes, I am sure that trucker hats are standard-issue uniform for most emergency workers.

(Episode 2-7)—How...cultural?

171. Scanner

(Episode 4-5)—I like this hat as much as I like actual scanners.

170. Coin-Operated

(Episode 2-1)—Perhaps a great way to get free money from unsuspecting strangers, but who knows where they'll insert it.

169. Ready

(Episode 2-2)—That's the spirit.

168. Beef

(Episode 2-7)—Does he have a problem with someone or does he enjoy cow products? Does he have a problem with cow products?

159. Long and Twisted

(Episode 5-1)—iPhone ear buds! Volleyball nets in storage! A python with a sick mind!

154. First Class

(Episode 4-6)—Somehow I'm not convinced.

153. Foley Artist

(Episode 3-6)—He specializes in human digestion sounds, I bet.

152. Bronx Golf Club

(Episode 3-6)—Ironic only because there's no way Frank plays golf, not because the Bronx doesn't have a golf course.

151. Kayfabe

(Episode 2-8)—Mystifying wrestling jargon has no better place than on hats.

150. Long Pips

(Episode 4-1)—Long pips refer to the style of Ping-Pong paddle some players use to get more topspin, but doesn't it sound like a venereal disease?

149. Last Shot First

(Episode 4-17)—Film school mumbo jumbo, I'm assuming.

148. Under the Bottom

136. Soccer

(Episode 4-10)—Setting means everything with this one.

135. Game Changer

134. Drapes

(Episode 3-15)—Oh?

133. Drapes Carpet

(Episode 3-20)—OH.

132. In Training

(Episode 4-10)—Potty? Or bra?

131. Done Deal

(Episode 1-2)—Strong. Commanding. Confident. Am I talking about Frank or his hat? Honestly, you should know the answer to this.

130. Emotional Friend

(Episode 3-12)—Thank you for the warning, I will not bring up my recent breakup around you.

129. Flowers

(Episode 3-19)—Who says Frank's not in touch with his feminine side?

128. Laser Disc

(Episode 3-16)—Man, remember laser discs? They were like the love child of a vinyl record and and CD. Kitschy but lovable, not unlike Frank.

127. Kung Fu Beech

(Episode 1-8)—Beech, as in the tree? Beech, as in a purposeful misspelling of "beach"? Beech, as in a vaguely racist pronunciation of "bitch"? You're a mystery, Mr. Rossitano.

(Episode 1-4)—Big shoes to fill.

125. Semi Legal

(Episode 7-4)—Those are the eyes of a man who's done some fully legal things.

124. All the Way

(Episode 4-15)—He's a man of commitment, you can see it on his face (or, you know, read it on his hat).

123. Untitled

(Episode 7-11)—Can't tell if this is genius or lazy.

122. TBD

(Episode 4-18)—Ditto.

121. Alien Knight Force

(Episode 6-18)—A dressing that's gone bad or a wayward farm?

110. Wet Tacos

(Episode 5-13)—Barf.

109. Alien Abductee

(Episode 3-2)—If people who were (")abducted(") were required to wear this hat, it would make choosing a seat on the subway much easier.

(Episode 7-4)—Again, a very practical hat.

107. 1 Card Monte

(Episode 5-12)—There's a game I could actually win.

106. Role Model

(Episode 3-4)—Clearly.

105. Night Chicks

(Episode 3-7)—A sequel to the Wayans brothers' 2004 comedy White Chicks where the girls become prostitutes, I assume.

104. Butler School

(Episode 6-16)—More like BUTTler school, am I right?

(Episode 4-2)—You can find me wearing this hat every time there's an empty sleeve of Oreos in the garbage.

102. Van With Man

97. Disco Fries

85. Sumo Dog

(Episode 2-14)—The imagery is TOO GOOD.

84. Read

(Episode 2-14)—If you read this as "read" in the present tense, it's a cool reminder to pick up a book and expand your brain. If you read this as "read" in the past tense, it sounds like it happened one time and Frank made a hat to commemorate the momentous event. Both are awesome.

83. Mason Storm

(Episode 4-12)—This is either a Steven Seagal character, a porn actress, or what happens when mason jars are on sale at Jo-Ann's.

54. Flip Phone Owner

(Episode 6-5)—This is poetry.

53. Because

(Episode 4-4)—Every mom should own this hat.

52. Why.

(Episode 5-1)—See above.

51. Nap Partner

(Episode 5-22)—Only Frank can make napping seem vaguely creepy.

50. Exactly

(Episode 2-12)—Step 1: Wear this hat. Step 2: Make a very good point. Step 3: Lean back in chair and let the praise wash over you.

48. Be Cool Liz

(Episode 6-10)—But yeah, she could use a chill pill.

47. Over Easy

(Episode 5-21)—When you want to say, "I appreciate you, but I also appreciate how comfortable this chair is."

1. Casual Flosser

(Episode 5-22)—Casual flosser? You mean HUMAN BEING? This hat is me. This hat is you. This hat is all of us.
