In general, posted signs are up for an apparent reason - to inform those who see them. Whether it’s a general rule, warning, an answer to frequently asked questions, a request for help, or just basic information, signs are across-the-board informational.
While we’ve covered ominous signs in the past, we stumbled across a Twitter thread of hilarious signs to share with you today. Content creator @Kwintarget, aka ‘drone on a cruise,’ created a now-viral thread dedicated solely to “Funny signs that will have you rolling on the floor.”
With over 5,000 likes and over 2,000 retweets, his collection definitely hit the mark with his followers and beyond. @Kwintarget was kind enough to answer some questions about his thread and share a bit about himself as a content creator.
@Kwintarget agreed that the type of fonts used is the most important tool when making signs. "However, a readable and understandable sign will do better. You can dip humor and be a little extra, works for some."
He believes "laughter can go a long way," and it's a big part of why he enjoys making similar funny threads. "Speaking for myself, memes and funny tweets make me loosen up a bit after a long day, and I’m sure most people relate to that," he said.
As a content creator, he tries to be diverse and touch upon various topics. "I don’t stick to only one topic, let’s say movies."
"Of course, it’s not always about comedy. It could be educational and inspirational like the thread I made about mirrors and cameras," he shared. "I’m also original. I don’t steal my ideas from other people's threads. I’m quite knowledgeable with a little bit of research to make it work."
Regardless of the number of likes or retweets, how it makes people feel is important. There is immense power in a smile or chuckle.

While these signs were funny, they also showed what not to do. Whether your sign is meant to be serious, silly, or intentionally amusing, it definitely matters how you put it together.
Ensure the colors, fonts, and placement of the words and any illustrations don’t clash or make the sign unreadable. A little mistake can completely change the intended message.
