Funny Signs That Were Too Good Not to Capture on Camera

Have you ever come across something so absurdly funny that you just had to stop and take a picture? Maybe it’s a typo on a restaurant menu or a ridiculous road sign, but you can’t help but crack up. Well, fear not, our fellow chuckle-seekers, because we’ve compiled a collection of the funniest signs that are guaranteed to tickle your funny bone. So sit back, relax, and get ready for some serious laughs. 

Caution: Smartphone Zombies Crossing

If you’re one of those people that can’t stand it when someone can’t take their eyes off their phone, then this is the sign for you. Someone put up a sign in a neighborhood that asked people to “beware of smartphone zombies.” It’s probably just asking drivers to be careful and be on the lookout for pedestrians that aren’t paying attention, but it’s pretty funny nonetheless. It’s also a good way to get drivers to pay attention to the sign.

Now, if only they could figure out a way to get people from becoming entranced by their phones while walking down the road. You might see a sign like this coming to a street near you soon enough. 

When You Use Google Translate to Write Your Signs

This post actually contains multiple funny signs. We’re not sure where exactly it is or why it even exists, but we’re glad it does. The first sign in the photo advises people to call the police if they’re stolen, which might be hard for obvious reasons but anyway. Our favorite is probably the sign in the back, though. It reads: “Avoid rude and unreasonable chicken.” 

Whoever wrote that must’ve already mastered life by now. Another advises people to keep safe because “the slippery are very crafty.” They sure are, they sure are. 

He’s Always Watching

If you ever wanted to make someone feel weirded out and like they are constantly being watched, just put this sign up in your place. It’s basically a sign that looks like Jesus with text that says, “I saw that.” It’ll even hang conveniently from your door if you have nowhere else to put it. We’ve never felt so guilty for doing so little after looking at this sign. 

It’s also hard not to imagine there is a small camera installed somewhere in this sign. Placing a small, discrete fake camera somewhere on here might be the only way to make it better.

Everybody Loves A Good Pun (or Three)

If puns aren’t your thing, then you might want to pay special attention to this sign because we promise it will make you a pun lover. And if you already love puns, then you’re welcome. Someone wrote this sign for what is seemingly a bar. It reads: “Alcohol is not in my Vodkabulary. However, I looked it up on Whiskeypedia and learned if you drink too much, it’s likely Tequilya.” That’s pretty great.

However, despite the great puns throughout this sign, it’s probably not the best business practice for a bar to remind its customers that the alcohol they’re being served is likely to make them hit the bucket earlier.

This Is Why Punctuation and Grammar Are Important

There have already been a couple of signs on this list with some grammar mistakes, but none quite like this. The sign is in bright red, and it reads exactly: “Elephants please stay in your car.” It’s not hard to guess that someone wanted to warn people to stay in their cars because there might be elephants nearby. However, without punctuation, it reads as if it’s asking elephants to stay in their cars. 

We all know elephants don’t drive, so it’s not hard to get the meaning, but it does show what can happen when you remove the odd comma or two. 

$200 Fine (if You Don’t Kick the Bucket First)

This sign gets pretty serious pretty quickly. However, it then just makes you second guess everything about it. The sign warns people against touching wires, which it says causes “instant death.” It even has the skull and bones adorned on either side. However, it then tells you that there will be a “$200 fine” for such actions. How would there be a fine if you’re likely to be dead instantly? 

Also, where is the Newcastle Tramway Authority? That sounds like a place in the U.K., but if so, why would they be using a dollar figure instead of pounds? So many questions here. 

Cats Are Teenagers in Animal Form

If you’re looking to drive traffic to your veterinary clinic, this sign might be your answer. It explains that dogs prepare people for babies while cats prepare parents for teenagers. And while dogs are great, they’re still sort of like large, clumsy babies, which is part of the reason we love them so much. Cats, on the other hand, are a different story. They can be moody and anti-social, just like teenagers. 

We aren’t sure if this sign was the work of an employee or the business owner but hats off to whoever came up with it because it really does capture the difference between dogs and cats. 

We Also Can’t Believe They Had to Make This Sign

When you go out into nature for something like a camping or hiking trip, it’s general knowledge that you should dig a hole and use the bathroom there if you need to. However, this park was apparently having issues with people going between the massive stone boulders. And nobody wants to come across human waste during their hiking down a trail. The sign even laments the fact they had to put a sign up in the first place. 

It reads: “Please do not poop in the rocks.” A disclaimer follows: “We can’t believe we had to make this sign.” They really sound fed up with people going on the trail.

Armed Dinosaurs? No. Dinosaurs With Flowers? Yes

We aren’t too sure who this sign’s target audience is, nor are we sure where exactly it was hanging, but it’s pretty hilarious nonetheless. It shows a T-rex holding two pistols with a forbidden symbol in red on the left. On the right, the T-rex is holding flowers inside, a symbol showing that this is allowed. So, yeah, we aren’t sure if this would deter an adult from bringing a gun somewhere, but it might encourage a small child to swap out their handgun for some roses.

It’s also a mystery as to how this T-rex was able to pick up either gun or flower with those tiny arms, but it looks hilarious holding either.
