Signs are an intelligent way to announce information without making anyone stand in the sweat dripping summers or bone-chilling winters to guide people on the road. These signs are often made as simple as possible so people can read and understand it by themselves. But there are certain signs that leave no stone unturned to say their message out loud with a pinch of humor. Listed below are some of the funny signs that would surely make you laugh out loud while you fall on the ground.
In the generation of touch screen phones and television having a more realistic view, people will rather gain information from television than endure the pain to visit a zoo. So it will be a miracle if you see people in the jungle and obviously you don't want to scare them away with some grumpy signs. But the caretaker of this jungle seems to be quite particular about the pond and puts up a sign that you would not want to see. What makes it unique is the fact that it is written in bold red and the words are capitalized. And just in case you miss the sign on purpose, there's another sign kept in the feet of the sign which will be enough to watch your moves!
It is widely accepted that public toilets are hardly cleaned, so it gives a clear invitation to germs and diseases. But obviously that doesn't mean that people would stop using public toilets as avoiding emergencies are quite difficult though. So many have people sit on their crotches to avoid getting infected. But whosoever had put this sign is surely more annoyed with dirty shoes than dirty toilets!
Shoppers know how to market their product and make high profits. No doubt today quality is the king but we can't forget the power of advertising. It can make anything desirable but your tactics work at grabbing the attention of the right customers. Once you're able to target the right audience then the show is all yours. Well, this shopper seems to intelligently identify the nerve of the customer and his sign does the rest very skillfully.
Bars have become a community gathering place in recent years that there won't be a surprise if one day it will be listed in the most visited places of any city. But you can't deny that it can be one of the most dangerous places if it is connected to a busy road. It might pose a problem for the passersby especially when they are drunk. Whoever put this sign knows how to avoid a drunken man getting hit by a car. The funniest part is how they had depicted the drunken man i.e they are crawling with a bottle in their hand. And we all have been there at some point or the other.
Rome always attracts many tourists around the world to visit the country and understand its uniques culture and mannerism. There are many popular traditions, for example, smashing the plate in Greece whereas Finland has a tradition of holding a championship of carrying their respective wives and the most famous La Tomatina festival in Spain! But the visitors sometimes can't understand the culture and end up laughing. So this is a sign that reminds you that you can laugh but not at the natives.
This sign is another masterpiece of advertising using the different sizes of letters to highlight the message in the neon color. Surely this restaurant must have attractive waitresses but the sign clearly warns the men that they can be spoiled by big tips but they won't take their clothes off for it. Whosoever might have made this sign knows that these waitresses are not only attractive but clever too!
There's no doubt that the signs are just made for the humans to follow and work accordingly but the irony of this sign can make anyone laugh. This is unclear as to how a sign can be put up to ban a bird in a particular area but the bird doesn't seem to give a hoot and sits on top of the sign like a boss. What makes this sign funnier is that if you observe closely the bird on the sign looks similar to that on the top. A perfect way to show the world that you can't ban a bird from going anywhere, dogs surely will be jealous though!
The Bible is a holy book that contains a lot of do's and don'ts and is considered as a pathway to heaven. But today's generation doesn't seem to care about these and thinks there will be a way through which they could shield themselves. And the witty person who had put up this sign will surely make the people visit the church. The sign is a basic indication of how to protect ourselves from fire but the irony of the sign is that the technique won't work in hell but a regular visit to the church might be able to save people from the fire in the hell.
This is one of the most skillful signs you'll ever come across. An auto repair shop called Seattle Propane turns into a convenience store named ExtraMile. And it dawns upon the owners that they can't use the sign anymore as there are no more cars to be fixed. The place is already covered with the store special. So they decided to make people laugh with the sign and succeded in it too.
This sign takes advertising to another level. It seems most of the people that come to this restaurant are misers and only eat light snacks and drinks. The owners of the Fleming Arms, a family restaurant in Binstead village, choose an effective way to hike up their sales by putting up a sign which says "Fat People Are Harder To Kidnap". Surely it will make people buy meals if not because of hunger but to protect themselves from getting kidnapped. If this scheme comes out to be true then it would be a great relief to the local police.
This sign seems to be more like an inside joke rather than an informative sign. But we do hope that it is a joke! YWCA is a global movement striving for women’s empowerment in more than 120 countries globally. But this is unclear that out of all the things they could have encouraged the people to donate, they had asked to donate toilet papers. Maybe because people have forgotten to do good deeds like donating money to the needy one and this one is a sarcastic comment. Well, we can only guess!
It's our basic instinct to help someone in need but what if you come across a sign which warns you not to help. What will you do? Well, the questions arise why they had put up such a sign. There has to be a better reason for that and the sign explains it all. The part of the area in which this sign stand is an area where there may be a chance you end up helping a prisoner on a run. So they had clearly warned the passerby not to give a lift to the people on the road.
There are certain countries in which it is a serious crime to toot a horn until there is some serious emergency. It is believed that people blow horns either when they have anger issues or they are stuck in bad traffic. This makes it funnier. Hopefully, it will make them blow horn less on the road because who wants a quarrel with the policeman just for honking the horn.
Anyone can recognize hipsters with their well-groomed beards and tight-fitting clothes who mainly come from modern, fancy and vibrant cities. These sorts of people are least welcomed in many restaurants because of their arrogant nature. The sign describes the hipster in rather a quirky way and at the same time tries to be politically correct. This sign clearly indicates that shoppers love to have customers but hipsters are not welcome.
There are cities with great historical landmarks that tell the story of the place and national significance. Therefore, such signs are put up to explain what happened at that significant point of time. But it seems like the people of the city were fed up with these regular signs of “if you can’t fight them, join them” and replaced it with the witty sign. This signifies that for the native people every land has significance even if nothing significant might have happened.
We all know how difficult is to make a stubborn child obey you and come on we all have been there. It becomes a task to restrain kids from ending up doing something stupid. Today's kids are way ahead of time so they can't be tricked simply. Whoever had made this sign might be very intelligent to put up an idea of non-drying paint to restrain kids from touching the fence.
While most of the people would associate this sign as a warning that there's a steep hill ahead. But a tourist who might not have visited this place yet may get the impression that this city might make people depressed and hence the sign is put up to warn people to visit it at their own risk. But we hope that people in the city are fine and welcoming and the sign is just to depict the steep road.
This sign should be awarded for being a masterpiece in advertising as it uses the concept of zombies very skillfully and intelligently. On the other side, it indicates that even boring work and signs can be molded into a witty one with a pinch of humor. We all know that the concept of Zombies is imaginary but filmmakers have been using it to scare and humor people from ages and this might have struck into the mind of the creator of this sign. Hope it would make the customers laugh and also increase his sales.
Bosses are the most targeted people in any workplace, but they hardly can know this fact. Whosoever might have put this sign must be a fearless and sassy one. Or he/she might in be short of any good idea so he/she might have put those lines on the sign out of boredom without having any clue that it would become a quirky sign rather than informative. Ever wondered if people can be so creative with them when they are bored what will they do otherwise!
Bars tend to justify the quirky saying "What happens in Vegas, remains in Vegas" so the staff tends to be friendly and flirty with the customers. So the employee who might have put up this sign must be acquainted with the mindset.He/she knows how to attract the target audience and make the most out of the sign and hats off to this person for putting it so well!
There are some shoppers who are very promising just like Rita, who offers the best ice creams in Italy. But the outlet is well aware that the customer likes free things too. But then here's the twist, instead of offering free ice-cream they tend to give out jokes for free through their signboard.
There are many people who are considerate and then there are people just like the one who had put this sign up who are great at their business too. After all who doesn't like to be taken care of. This sign is a masterpiece of being a warning sign for those who walk and sleep in heels and give opportunities to shoemakers as they tend to hang around this area a lot. After all, they care about your precious feet while earning a few bucks out of it.
Often we find signs such as "thanks for your visit" in front of the national parks because staying humble and welcoming is a way to invite the people over again. But this national park, unlike all the others, seems to care more about the animals they had sheltered. The animals in this national zoo seem to care less about the world and roam around freely so the management might have put up this sign to protect them from coming under someone's car.
We all know how difficult is to say goodbye to your lover, even if they are going away for a couple of days. Whosoever had put this sign up might be so thoughtful and wanted to make the farewell moments more memorable by creating this booth. But this person is intelligent and knows how sweet romantic kisses can turn into steamy ones. So he clearly warns not to kiss beyond 3 mins. Well, he seems to be quite experienced!
There are many activists that are against zoos and disagree on chaining the animals. This sign would probably cheer them up. Therefore, they would feed the elephants on purpose making the staff run after them and enjoy the staff struggling to manage a herd. This whimsical employee surely knows how to play with signs while doing his/her job.
Gone are the days when teachers used to scold and the students used to defend themselves. Teachers nowadays have become smarter as they understand that the generation is way ahead of their time. They know that now those days are gone when the young lads would just stare at the girls and sneak out to meet them. The sign by the teacher intelligently warns the kids that they know everything and at the same time make the readers laugh too!
Below is another great example of a sign that could have been otherwise boring. It is well known that feeding animals in the zoo might invite some unwanted consequences which surely wouldn't be great for the visitor as well as the management of the zoo. The creator of this sign very well understands the situation and had come up with this sign and painted in bold red.
There are certain signs that don't need any explanation and there are others with written information that takes up our mind to understand what the sign is trying to convey. Just like this one, what anyone can make out from the sign on the board is "don’t put your feet on the chairs”. These signs, in general, are difficult to understand. For example one of these signs prohibits from sawing the chair while the other prohibits musical instruments to be played and many more. Hopefully, someday people will understand what the creator wanted to say.
Many times we don't get to know the responses to the famous signs, maybe that's why the person who wrote the message must have thought. It not only makes it funnier and ironic but also gives a befitting reply to who might have written the board in the first place. But it is unclear that he wrote the message out of boredom or intended it as a pun.
Today when everyone is thinking of finding new ways to earn money, so bars and pubs too are trying new ways to get their hands on extra cash. We all know that most of the people that come to the bars might have lied to their wives and girlfriends to enjoy their life a bit. But women are not less than any detectives, they can sniff a lie from a mile. This sign hanged on a bar assures that they won't get caught here. It will be interesting to know if this ambush can help men enjoy their life a little!
Gone are those days, when the kids were threatened not to urinate in the pool or it would turn red because of the substances present in it. But now they know that there is no need to threaten them because a polite request would do the work. Hence the pool managers have put up this sign saying "Welcome to our OOL, Notice that there is no "P" in it. Let's keep it that way.
Cats are often considered as one of the least friendly animals on the earth among the pets. And this veterinary hospital for sure doesn't seem to have a good experience with the one. So they had put up a personal warning beside the sign. But we hope that their attitude towards the cats doesn't affect their medical treatment of them!
We're not sure whether this person doesn't like Christmas, its decoration or jolly season in general. Or maybe he's just a Christmas Grinch. As soon the month of October starts, many shoppers start selling shiny Christmas ornaments maybe this might have annoyed the man and he decided to raise his voice. Whatever might be the reason behind this sign, it is sure that most of the people will not like him near them. I mean who doesn't like Christmas!
If you're thinking about the candy that you had grown up eating then you might be wrong. People love candies no matter how old they are. But the sign here clearly prohibits invitation of a mobile game named candy crush, which is no doubt annoying. So, the next time you will be sending any invite, kindly think before clicking the button and especially to this guy. Of course, you don't want a procession outside your house because you had invited him to the mobile game! But candies are in general are always welcome!
There's always a person in the house who loves kids more than anyone else and these are the ones who get grouchier as they age. You may be guessing it right they are the grannies in the house. So the sign here is held by a granny who seems to be angry because she wasn't invited over for a Sunday roast. We hope people will understand that grumpiness comes with age and invite her next time they have a get-together and don't piss her off again.
This sign was created years back but still, it holds a great value indeed and can be translated into today's society as it would still hold good. It clearly depicts that bombing can never be a solution to solve anything. This would hardly bring any positive effects. The sign is quite serious, but somehow it makes us laugh too.
This sign was created years back if you look closely you can't make out what this protest going on for. But what catches the eye is this young boy lifting up the sign. Though there are just 3 words in it, the sign seems to express the emotions of the boy. It clearly depicts how much he likes trains. What makes the reader laugh is his innocence which many people seem to capture in their cameras. We want more young lads like him!
The way we look after our houses, we should be concerned about our planet too. The environment that we are living in is certainly not the one we will want our kids to be in. There are numerous occasions where scientists have warned us about the change that is prevailing right now. Here, Sir Richard Branson is taking charge of showing us where we are going wrong.
British are known for their calm nature, they are the ones who would rather sit down and talk than to start bombing on the other countries. The sign that the man is holding says "I'm a British, I'm on a March. Things must be really bad". It clearly depicts that things must have gone really out of hands that they have come on the roads.
You can analyze that something bad must have happened that a guy who generally doesn't carry a sign feels a need to do so. Something might have disturbed him so much that he had gone on a street to talk about the things he is passionate about. This gives a clear depiction that how masses hit the road when something really affects them.
Generally, when the march is women-centric you would rarely see a man holding a sign. But this photo should be an inspiration to all the men out there, who thinks that it is not their job to stand beside the women and raise their voice against the injustice. The picture seems to depict that it is freezing winter and snow must be torturing Ian McKellen, the old man in the photo enough not to talk about his diseases and joints. Still, he is on the roads to support women.
This is different from all the danger signs that you must have seen till now. No doubt whatever thing it hides must be pretty dangerous and we hope that Mind Flayers were not hiding behind it. Because if they were it would have caused havoc for sure. But whatever is hidden must be pretty dangerous that they have put up such a sign. So unless you want to have fatal little roadside production, do not touch the board.
Gone are those days when parents used to take their kids to the zoo where they could learn about the animals. Now that experience is replaced by high-quality televisions as it has become easy for people to experience the same while they are in their houses. So this zoo in Los Angeles went out of the way in trying to get more visitors and displayed a board that the zoo not only tells the visitors the first name of the flamingo but they can also learn about their personal habits which are both disturbing and believable. So the next time when you visit this zoo and your phone rings you can probably guess that its one of the zoo's meerkats asking for help. Pretty weird, right!
We have heard people get alarmed but have you ever heard that some door being alarmed? The first question that would strike our mind would be what might have alarmed the door. And it seems like one concerned soul who even inquired "what startled it". We are assuming that it must be a psychologist who would have taken out time to respond to this weird sign.
Generally, whenever a sign is written it is made to rhyme so that it looks more appealing to the people. But sometimes the creator of the sign is aware that people might be fed up with seeing boring signs but sometimes he is clueless about making the sign creative so they end up making it funny instead. Just like this sign which is put there to inhibit people from coming close to fence but we can't deny that the sign is rather tempting.
Out of all the animals living on the earth, cows are known to be calm and harmless among animals. But what if we tell you that there is one species of a cow in Hawaii that will not only scare you but also burst the bubble of your illusion of feeling safe around them. Well, there is one new sub-species of cows that can creep you out on a misty evening by purposefully leaping out on the road which can cause chaos. So this sign warns you well in advance!
Although we have been taught to wash our hands every time we use the washroom, it seems in a hostel in Cambodia they had put up a sign to remind the staff to wash their hands. This sign may be quite unnerving, but the assurance that it gives to the hostelers is quite satisfying. Because who wants to eat food from dirty hands!
This sign is quite rhetorical because obviously who breathes underwater unless the person is a mermaid. And it seems like the owner belives that maybe his/her pool might be a famous vacay point of mermaids and they must be hanging around often. Hence restricted them from breathing underwater. But here, we are left wondering what harm might it cause if they breathe under the water unless they pee from their mouth or nose!
Imagine yourself walking down a hot day and sweat is dripping down on your body and suddenly you saw this sign. You are bound to jump on your feet at once. Obviously you will first be thanking God and then the man who is so thoughtful while you run to grab a bottle only to burst your bubble. Then you are made to go out again to read the sign once more! What would you do, cry or fight but in any case you would be going out with a bottle of beer in your hand. Well, self-esteem matters so do the sale!
