When you hear the word "vandalism," what is the first thing that springs to mind? Not exactly a good thing, right? But these examples of funny street art might have you thinking differently. There are some hilarious people out there who walk around town with a marker, spray paint, or some other product just waiting for inspiration to strike. So don't be shy and take a look - we have a feeling you'll be wishing these were all around your neighborhood, too.
Watch Out for That Third Snake
This one made us laugh so hard. Out of the three "snakes" on the sign, one is an a**hole, while the other two are about to get stomped to death. We hope he doesn't hit his head tripping over those reptiles. Someone is giving a piece of advice to stay cautious, maybe because they might have suffered before. So, they don't want others to make the same mistake again. How generous.
This original "Man Slipping on Water" design was primarily based on a drawing by the Columbian artist Eduardo Colicos, famous for creating an illustration of a man being bit in the calf area by a snake, with two other snakes watching on.
Cats Against Racism
Someone did a pretty impressive job at Hutt Street, Adelaide, Australia. Why spread hate when we can make everyone's day better with the kitty! It is a whole lot better to look at a cute cat instead of someone spewing racist stuff. We need more street posters like this one. People know that a cat makes everything better. This is indeed a master move and making the world a better place.
Nobody can be truly outraged with these ‘polite vandals.’ This is extraordinarily polite vandalism, which replaced racist graffiti with this picture of a kitty, showing that cats are the answer to any question.
I Mustache You A Question
Take a look at this distinguished gentleman! Just look at how smart he looks. We've never seen such a smart-looking waterhole with a monocle and a mustache before. He sure is fancy. We are wondering just who gave him the mustache, which actually compliments the whole look. It indeed is very satisfying vandalism. Maybe they can add a hat for more perfection. We think it would complete the look.
We must admire this fancy automatic fire sprinkler. It's a fire department connection that allows the firefighters to hook up their pump to the sprinkler system in the building and boost its water supply. We're wondering why one side is open, and the other is covered, though - someone must have stolen the brass cap.
When One Letter Makes a Huge Difference
This holy place just made it too easy for these guys to ruin (or some would say improve) their sign! And how can we even be upset when we just can't help but admire the hilarious creativity. The guys seem so happy and proud of their creativity in this picture, and the photo itself speaks a thousand words. We just hope the New Hope Church got a laugh from it, too.
Wonder what would happen if they changed the H in 'New Hope' to a D. Too much?
The Only Time We Want Bird Poop on Us
Someone had their creative juices flowing and decided to paint a seagull on the hand sanitizer dispenser at work. And now, it looks like the little bird is pooping in people's hands every time they get some sanitizer. Isn't it hilarious? It looks like someone in this office is a comedy genius. It's innovative, cute, and creative. That's one seagull we wouldn't mind pooping on our clothes or hands.
Well, we hope that there is actually a sanitizer inside the bottle. But since some of the sanitizers actually smell pretty bad, some people might get confused.
A Round of Applause for the Jellyfish
If anyone doesn't applaud this jellyfish, they can expect stinging revenge. Just look at it - how could you not chuckle before applauding the jellyfish king and the clever vandal? That image of two hands under a hand dryer really does look like a little jellyfish. And it's so on point with the clapping; no one would ever think those are hands petting the jellyfish. No, those hands are clearly applauding it.
Although, maybe some people used to pray to the jellyfish before this helpful sign was posted. We could see how the applause could be confused with that.
Does It Play Stairway To Heaven?
This little person looks like it will start shredding Metallica any minute now. There are not too many left-handed guitarists out there, so we are lucky to have him on board. Some people are very creative, and they know how to add spark to every little thing in life. This picture is proof of that. We would never think to turn an arrow on a traffic sign into the rock and roll guitar of some little person drawn on with a marker.
The artist deserves a round of applause for his artistic thought processing, and maybe a little guitar solo as tribute.
One Man Show
It's Ben's place now, or should we call it his realm. He must be feeling special because of this protocol. Some guy named Ben is the only man in his office, so his coworkers changed the "men" sign on the bathroom door to "Ben." Once again, we see how one letter makes a big difference. But on another note, can we all appreciate the blessing of having our own bathroom, especially in the office?
Ben can have all the privacy he needs because who will enter the bathroom when he is there? We are wondering how happy he must be. People out there might get jealous of him for getting special treatment.
Merry Christmas
This is one of those rare occasions where vandalism can be totally acceptable. If someone doesn't get it, it's a play on words. Someone added the word "Navidad" under the sign that said, "For lease." Put all three words together, and it sounds an awful lot like "Feliz Navidad," which means Merry Christmas in Spanish. Consider us impressed. Whosoever did this is a legend! Has anyone ever seen a better wordplay?
We just hope that enough people in this town know how to say "Merry Christmas" in Spanish. We'd hate to see this art go unappreciated.
"Nice Try"
Any fans of Lord of The Rings here? It seems like Sauron is so desperate to find the ring that he has even put it on a poster. One wonders who could fall for it and give him a call. He might be waiting long to get his hands on that gold ring. Well, Sauron must be suffering a mid-life crisis trying to get his precious ring from some weird short kids at the office. It was then that Sauron realized he screwed up quite badly. Perhaps his strategy got exposed quite early, and he may not get his ring now.
Simply, one can say that it is a PRECIOUS poster! And whoever wrote such a comment must have great taste in movies and a good sense of humor.
Cleaning Hack 101
Oh No. Van-dalism! That's the van that's going to kidnap Spongebob. We're just hoping that Spongebob doesn't get into the van. Especially since it seems like only one of them will do all the work in this relationship. A dirty "singly" van looking for a yellow soapy sponge? This could only end one way. Although we're confused about why the van owner thinks that the sponge should come into the van - is the inside dirty, too?
Did anyone know that vandalism can be this interesting? We need more people with the creativity and passion these folks have.
Caution: Santa’s Crossing
It looks like Santa Claus is coming to town, so please, no one honk their horn while he passes. We should appreciate the effort someone has put into this. And there's no doubt that it's worth the effort. Just imagine how many people get a smile on their face when they see this "deer crossing" sign that was transformed into a reindeer magically flying Santa's sled. We can bet this road sign must have delighted many kids out there.
We are wondering if someone can put a little red nose on the deer to make it Rudolph! We are curious whether kids will be asking their parents in amazement while passing this, “Whoa, does Santa cross here on Christmas eve on the way to our house?”
A Street-Art Inspired Makeover
Well, this is a surprising turn of events! It looks like, in this case, the vandalism victim ended up outsmarting the original vandal. This woman was featured in an advertisement at a bus stop. And when someone drew a mustache and other such stuff on her photo, she went and took a photo next to it with the same markings on her face! Genius. This girl definitely knows a thing or two about marketing!
She can sell everything with that attitude. A good sense of humor is perhaps the best reason to contact this agent.
Time For A Quick Decision
What would anyone prefer? Communal or Solitary pooping? Because at this porter potty, visitors can have either one. Just turn the knob one way, and you've left it open, welcoming some open-minded person who might be your next best friend. Turn it the other way, and you've locked it, leaving you all alone in this porter potty. What would this vandal think about the people who hold it until they get home?
Jokes apart, it’s a bad habit of writing such stuff or anything on doors, walls, or on the ground, etc. It is only acceptable if it can bring a smile to someone’s face.
Someone Hand Us a Calculator
How many of us actually tried to do this math to confirm whether the answer is right or if someone just put a random number there, thinking, "Who will do the math?" We tried counting it on our fingers and gave up within 5 seconds. Someone actually did the math before writing it here, and they nailed it. Anyone can confirm it by using the calculator. Perhaps someone wanted to show their math skills.
So someone took the 4 x 4 multiplication to the next level here. It is impressive, and we hope the car owners learned a lesson from it and took it straight to a car wash.
Speed Check Please
Kids are unlikely to get this one. Anyone wondering what's the purpose of this picture besides checking the car's speed by the radar? Gary Rich Burghoff is an American actor known for originating the role of Charlie Brown and the character Corporal Walter Eugene "Radar" O'Reilly in the film MASH and the TV series. What was their purpose behind putting this picture here? Well, his character could tell when anyone was speeding from miles away. At least with him checking it, we know it's going to be accurate!
He can actually see when one is speeding and knows when one is going slow. So, better be careful instead of getting caught red-handed.
Way More Than Vandalism
This is certainly vandalism and art all in one. If people are unfamiliar with what's pictured below, it is actually ‘Tactile Paving’ and is used to help the vision-impaired navigate streets. The “Bumps” in this picture show the locations of Pedestrian crossings. So someone took the yellow dots and turned them into little pills - with The Matrix's Keanu Reeves painted behind. Imagine how many other everyday things could be turned into art!
We'd invite whoever made this beautiful creation into our town any day. And provide the paint. So, if you did this and you see this... you know what to do.
Business Strategy 2.0
Oops. Did anyone see that coming? Guess we are not going to get our Graffiti removed anymore because of someone who's in love with graffiti, or maybe their livelihood depends on this business. But we're not upset about it because it’s hilarious and well-executed. Why would a graffiti removal number be stenciled on a random wall in giant red letters? Perhaps it’s because all of their business is just removing their own graffiti. We're mindblown.
Now people can’t call on that number anymore. They have to find another way. However, their plan was amazingly well-executed. Use the graffiti to destroy the graffiti! Bravo!
"Same Here," Said 8 Billion People
Now here's a sign we can all get behind: COVID-19 is certainly testing our patience. Can the pandemic just be gone once and for all, please? We all have gone through a lot during this pandemic, be it physically or mentally. People have learned a lot of humorous stuff back home to kill their time, like how to make street signs a million times better and put smiles on strangers' faces.
We'll just choose to temporarily forget about the pandemic and just appreciate the mastermind behind this and their brilliant work.
It's Called Self-Motivation
A soft reminder to show us all that motivation plays an important role when we want to work. Now we know why our lower backs and butts hurt every time we picked up a heavy package: it's because we weren't slapping our behinds for motivation! A slap on the butt is all we need for perfect working. The best part is that it looks like his mouth is saying "Oh yeah" and is opened with pleasure.
Another way to interpret this sign? Warning: lifting incorrectly will cause lightning to shoot out of your behind, and your head will turn into Pac-Man.
A Hidden Message
Someone with extra free time at the local grocery store did that. It looks like a secret message from an employee to customers, maybe for wasting their time and end up buying nothing or for the boss who keeps calling the employees for overtime. We should keep wondering about the real story behind this. That's what's wrong with people nowadays. Everyone is in a rush and doesn't make time for things. Someone might have been holding grudges against anyone that ultimately resulted in something like this hilarious.
Now it depends on which family sees it. The one that laughs and moves on with their day, the one that ruins the harmony, or the one that gets mad and proceeds to break everything in a 10-meter radius by taking it personally.
Oh Hi There
We have seen many old tow trucks, but this rusty 1950s pickup truck on the roadside takes the cake. It looks like someone did a good job or tried to be a little creative here. The car has two eyes, little mustaches, and bugs bunny teeth; who could it be? Such an old tow truck should be placed in car showrooms for auction. Well, from the appearance, that’s Tow Mater FTW or maybe his cousin Meth Mater.
Poor guy looks like fame dragged him down into a life of partying, and he's living on the second floor of an above-ground parking lot after losing his money and connections because of his bad lifestyle.
Gimme A Coke, On The Rocks
"How are things going, Mr. Torrance?" "Things could be better, Lloyd. Things could be a whole lot better if it weren’t for this COVID." We love how creative people can be, and such a great sense of humor is rare! This world needs more humor to help others get through their rough patches with a good laugh. It's more than just Vandalism; that's pretty creative. That looks like a conversation street.
Well, it looks like an Edward Hopper painting. However, it’s always fun to hang out with buddies after a long day at work, chill around, have some gossip, and enjoy a cold beer.
Just Curious To Know
Someone raised a pretty valid question. The door must be wondering why people keep pushing it! Who startled the door with their obnoxious barging in, vigorously shaking the handle and trying to open it? Aren't we all responsible for this? We are with you, door. We feel you pretty hard. Or perhaps somebody pushed it when it needed to be pulled (99.9% must have done this at least once in their lives).
Well, some people keep on banging the door no matter whether someone is inside or not. We should always be humble towards non-living things as well, we never know, but they might have some emotions as well. What if we keep hurting them?
Positive Vibes Only
This one radiates positivity. There’s no harm in appreciating others' thoughtful mindsets without any specific reason. Well, that’s a Canadian bathroom door with such positive comments. So that’s a glimpse of Canadian vandalism. If it were really Canadian, they would have also written "sorry eh" for writing on the door. Such writings are very common in bathrooms, malls, and public places. Though this one sparks joy. We are wondering why the handwriting is so cranky! Was the person writing with their left hand?
After watching this, faith in humanity has been restored. We are wondering what the thought process behind writing this was! Maybe to motivate the one who's pooping? Indeed, that’s one wholesome post.
This Printer Is Having an Existential Crisis
It looks like an existential crisis printer. Yes, we are all here temporarily, for 70+ years or so, but that will not last forever. The picture speaks a thousand words, and it’s actually a reality that everything in this world is temporary, be it money, fame, happiness, materialistic things, or even life! That sounds philosophical, but it’s the truth. We're here for a good time, not a long time. So have a good time, the sun won't shine every day. Nothing is immortal except for Paul Rudd.
It looks like the printer wrote that by itself. Technically everything that’s printed is written by a printer. It has definitely made us wonder about life and its importance.
We Hope They Figured Out the Answer to That
Some people have to go extra in everything. This is hilarious and disgusting as well. People are required to flush down their worries and regrets in the flush along with their poop and the used tissue paper. Because people are extremely unethical and flush every possible thing, they can. However, it makes sense, and the question is entirely logical too. People must have thought right that these signs were responsible for the dirty toilets they have come across as people were following the rules.
Well, we have a serious problem with these signs written in such a way, and few intelligent people are going to take them very seriously. But, unfortunately, others have to bear the unforeseen circumstances because of that.
Evolution?
So, this was found at Tumby Bay, South Australia. They wanted to warn people to wear shoes as they have Razorfish there. But someone wanted to be creative with it. Well, do the razorfish really wear shoes or crocs? Just curious to know. It’s freaking sharp. People have to wear special water boots when they go to some campsites because the beach is full of razorfish. It is because razorfish is known for its elongated, rectangular shape, which is similar to the straight razor, hence its name. They are from Mollusca and stick up vertically from the sand. They are also called poor man's scallops because the meat of the razorfish is similar to scallops.
Well, they have really sharp shells, hence the shoe advice. However, we have never seen a shoeless fish’s foot, so they must have them.
Just Living His Best Life
Someone is having the best time of their life, and they don't want anyone to stop them from having a good time. We are wondering how people can be this creative about the road signs everywhere. Maybe they choose these signs so that people can watch them on the way and giggle about such hilarious stuff. The sticker of Freddie Mercury is spot on. Anyone can read it in Freddie's voice. “Well played, well played.” Freddie Mercury was a British singer-songwriter best known as the lead vocalist of the rock band Queen.
Jokes apart, we think that the essential road signs should not be messed up. It can cause serious accidents. So, STOP signs should have no stickers or graffiti on them.
The Truth Has Been Spoken
Someone just scratched three from this board, and it changed the whole meaning. However, that looks fairly accurate now. That is probably the accurate number of "affordable" houses they have built. We can’t agree more. They are correct. It is NOT affordable unless one makes $1M per year! And not for local people either. People can try this in their neighborhoods. The rates of apartment buildings are going up. The sad reality is that not everyone can afford them easily.
Affordable homes in London don’t stand a chance. Or even in many other countries, such homes are a myth; they don't exist in reality! So, truth sucks sometimes, but it’s better to accept this bitter, harsh reality of life ASAP.
We Love Another Christmas Pun
This is the season. It’s a pleasure to see good word rhymes that make some sense. Has anyone started singing already? It looks like someone just added a bit of humor to it. Mike Tyson must have done this by himself. Most people heard it as if Mike Tyson was saying Santa Claus in his own style. We would have appreciated it more if they had his picture on it. However, it makes sense as Sani-Cloth might be coming because he knows when there is dirt, and it needs cleaning.
Well, this product is effective against 50 microorganisms in about 4-5 minutes and is ideal for disinfecting high-risk areas contaminated with germs.
Super Mario Run
Someone spotted a real-life Mario who is perhaps off to catch some mushrooms. So, someone just had a random picture of Mario on a Popsicle stick and some tape, and they put it in the right place, and he is good to go. This did an awesome job with it. Who else heard going down the pipe music? This picture brought back so many childhood memories. Oh, nostalgia.
And hey, anyone wants to play this game all over again? We can’t imagine how much creativity is there in this world.
Melody of Life
Is anybody else singing these words in their heads after reading this? The picture shows when the teacher says: "You can't hear pictures.” It looks like the picture speaks for itself. Is this real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality. A song by Queen- Bohemian Rhapsody. We all must have sung the song in our heads and answered in Patrick’s voice, isn’t it? That song depicts the reality of life pretty well. Don’t we all agree?
However, Patrick took the right turn and answered wisely. But he seems furious about something. Maybe he is done with his life as well? Well, it’s a pretty good drawing; we wonder what came first, the drawing or the lyrics?
1% Bacteria For The Win
It is so true and makes a lot of sense. It looks like they will mess up the earth "For the LOWEST price!" Actually, it should more accurately say "for the HIGHEST profit margins." Or kill the planet “for the HIGHEST prices.” The frightening thing is that now the sign seems to be telling the truth. At last, we have an honest corporate statement. Well, then, according to that, the whole world is going to be finished along with 99% bacteria. We are curious what their actual motto is?
However, humans do not possess the ability to kill the planet. We are more than capable of destroying the environment that keeps us alive. The Earth existed billions of years before us and will do so after.
Her Eyes Are Down Here
Here are googly eyes on the belly button of a women's underwear model in a Walmart. This looks cute and creepy. It looks like a Muppet, though. That photo is so air-brushed that we are surprised they didn't remove her belly button in the process. Is it saying, “Ooohhhhhh!” That belly button looks so tired, depressed, and pretty unimpressed. The eyelashes on the googly eyes absolutely make this a masterpiece worthy of Le Louvre.
Well, we should stop roasting the poor belly button. However, this poster is yet another unrealistic beauty standard for women (be real in your own skin color and body).
She Deserves the Star
Carrie Fisher rose to fame as Princess Leia in the Star Wars films, and she has since become a cultural icon. Her performance as Princess Leia in Star Wars catapulted her to fame, and the film's sequels cemented her place in pop culture. While she suffered from\addiction in the 1980s, her breakthrough novel Postcards from the Edge, which was made into a film starring Meryl Streep, brought her back to prominence in 1987.
While her fans created a makeshift star in honor of the actress on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, she finally got the real one back in June 2021.
How Ironic: It Got Washed Away
It's a perfect idea for people to replace their school's hand-washing signs with these thoughtful, poetic hand-washing tutorials. It will definitely build the interest in kids to wash their hands properly. The diagram still shows how to wash your hands properly. Sadly, people discovered the importance of washing hands only during COVID. The laminated signs played a big role in them not being taken down. We are hoping when the corona signs eventually get taken down; these don’t go with them!
The written instructions are from the movie Dune. If anyone hasn’t watched the movie yet, they should give it a shot. It is worth watching.
Submit to Godzilla or Else
Anyone who's a fan of Godzilla must have done this in the name of Vandalism. It’s in Tucson, AZ, in the U.S. We are kind of feeling bad for the owners of the building because it kept happening. Though it sounds hilarious. Religion is a personal relationship with whatever God people believe in. But they should keep it up to themselves instead of displaying it in public. And yeah, happiness can be a submission to Godzilla unless Kong is in town.
Well, spray paint on a house isn’t what we would appreciate or call vandalized. It’s better to avoid such harmful activities as it was constantly vandalized with something that wasn’t Godly.
Can't Get Enough of Them
Hey, no one takes this guy’s mushrooms. Perhaps that’s a Mario ghost as he loves to eat mushrooms. They look like magic mushrooms in the magic forest. Someone just got quite creative with their writing skills or perhaps business skills. People have to hunt them to keep the population down; else, they will consume everything in their path. Don’t forget to appreciate a crudely drawn mushroom above the lettering.
Maybe that's one way of securing mushrooms when one doesn't want them to be stolen by other people. This is how we can advertise a mushroom-picking field.
This Is Actual Vandalism
It looks like a hot take in the neighborhood. We thought it said "Trump Toner," like his personal tanning booth. It’s similar to an incident at Trump's inauguration in 2017; the Port-a-Potties were provided by a company called Don's Johns. Someone had put stickers that said "Trump's Dumps" on most of them. This picture depicts almost the same situation. Judging by the fact that it's locked, we might assume it is already being foreclosed and garnished for back payments owed. It seems legit, so we can applaud the person behind it.
Considering it ruined the portapotty, unless the person who owns it did the spray paint job, though, we wouldn't classify this as 'harmless.' But some might say that it is completely harmless because it is true.
