This subreddit is one of the largest on the entire platform, as it has amassed over 3 million members simply through sharing silly signs. From billboards to papers taped up in car windows, this group doesn’t discriminate.

The most important factor when crafting a sign is that it gets your message across. And sometimes we have to make bold choices to ensure that our messages stand out. That might mean inserting a pun, sharing a joke about a hilarious Yelp review the business received or making a pop culture reference. In the US, some states even use humor when designingmessages about road safetyfor highways. And those certainly get more attention than a simple “Stop Speeding” sign would.
If you’re looking to design an out of the box sign,Target Print & Mailhas some recommendations on their site that might help your message stand out. First, they note that the purpose of your sign must be clear. Are you trying to attract customers? Or do you want to inspire action from readers? Do you want customers to put their laptops away and have conversations with one another? Whatever you want them to do or understand, your message must be clear and concise. Nobody wants to spend time deciphering what a sign means or reading an essay worth of text.
It’s also wise to consider the location and what medium is best for your signs. One message might work brilliantly on a billboard, while it may not translate well to print advertising in a newspaper. Consider the best way to grab customers’ attention depending on where they’ll see the message. If you’re advertising on the door of a bathroom stall, you probably don’t want to put a serious message. But that can be the perfect place to utilize humor! Even a little potty humor can be done tastefully.
Another place you might not have considered putting up humorous signs is in your own home. But Tammy Huls, creator ofFlippin Furniture, actually has some recommendations on her blog for incorporating funny signs into interior design. One example Tammy provides is a sign that says “Please excuse the mess,” then it has crossed out “My kids are making memories” and finishes with “I suck as a housewife” instead. It’s a bit different than the typical “Live Laugh Love” you might find in many homes, but it might make visitors chuckle!
Another silly sign for a home that Tammy recommends says, “You drink too much. You cuss too much. You have questionable morals. You’re everything I have ever wanted in a friend.” This sweet sign might be a good gift to give a longtime friend with a similar sense of humor, or you can create a silly sign to hang outside your front door. Might I suggest one that says, “Doorbell broken, yell Ding Dong really loudly!”
One silly sign that we actually had at my house growing up was one that stated, “On this site on September 5th, 1897, absolutely nothing happened.” It was a very regal looking plaque that demanded attention, but there was no point in reading it except to get a laugh. Sometimes, signs actually have no purposebut to be funny!
Are you feeling inspired to use some humor in the next sign you have to create, pandas?
