Top 10 Funny Signs on the Internet

by eunmac on September 4, 2008

Here it is – the top ten funniest signs in the world according to a special formula (actually we chose them …because we get to see an awful lot of this stuff and these ones made us laugh most).

Perhaps one of the reasons that these signs seem so incredibly amusing is the fact that they are possibly still standing somewhere. Who put them there?  How come nobody pulled them down? The thing is that many people walk straight past signs (see #6) without paying much attention, but others do notice and they love to dump this stuff on the web…

10. MOST DISTURBING SIGN

We’re not sure this is anything more than a joke sign from Korea, but it’s got us all looking around when visiting the restroom.

9. MOST IRONIC SIGN

8. MOST SCARY SIGN

(Yes we’re pretty sure this was created for a powerpoint deck from a preso explaining that people don’t read warnings) 

5. MOST OBVIOUS SIGN

(Amnesia bloggers took this off the TV watching cricket last year. Hilarious!)

4. MOST TECHNICAL SIGN

I never knew how deep bottomless was until I saw this. 

3. MOST IRRELIVANT SIGN

I’ll take the fine if there’s a choice.

2. MOST APATHETIC SIGN

Don’t go arguing with them. They’re probably right. 

1. FUNNIEST FOREIGN SIGN TRANSLATION

This sign totally speaks for itself.

Final word:
Signs can be great fun in advertising too. A good illustration of this was the mysterious Obay campaign (here) which made a major splash in Toronto early 2008. The Rolling Rock Moonvertising campaign (here) also caused a big stir in the US…

LOL @ this sign has sharp edges! What a useless sign. reminds me of the one (not on this list): “Do not throw stones at this sign thank you.” it makes you go waaaat. What if the sign wasn’t there?
