Advertisements are eyesores, it's true. No one likes to see a space filled with ads and signs, but it is a necessary evil. Signs are necessary for many reasons, besides advertising, they are needed on roads to direct and warn people, they are needed to inform people of things, and to spread caution. Signs are everywhere, so why not make them more enjoyable by making them funny? Making anything otherwise boring into something funny is always great, and with signs, it probably makes people pay attention to and listen to them more.

There is no harm to be done in making a sign with a silly joke attached to it, and it's one of the small ways to make someone's day a little better. Reddit's /r/funnysigns is a subreddit that invites users to share the funniest signs they have seen in public with the world. Store signs, road signs, church signs and even people holding signs, — everything can be found there. Here are 26 funny signs making the world of advertising a sillier place.
