Protests usually deal with serious issues, like climate change, human rights, and rising social inequality. On the other hand, some people have a talent to look at serious problems our world faces today and see the bright side.
Slogans give life to a protest and sum up the protesters’ agenda so that everyone can remember the message they’re trying to send. Protests signs aren’t always serious, though, and these protesters have come up with signs that will make you laugh.
We give you 65 of the funniest protest signs you’ve ever laid eyes on.
1. Loves makes us beautiful
Debates about religion and LGBT rights are often pretty heated and polarizing. Let’s look on the bright side for a moment and forget about the things that divide us. In that way we will understand each other better.
2. “92-Year-Old Mother Has Been Carrying The Same Sign At Gay Pride Parade For Decades”
Loves transcends all boundaries. This 92-year-old mom should inspire us to always stand by our convinctions. It will pay off one day.
3. “Climate Change Conference In Vancouver, 2015”
We hear about negative effects of climate change all the time, and yet we still have to protest and demand politicians and world leaders to take action to prevent the looming enviormental disaster. It’s all very tiring indeed but real change takes time.
4. Reality can be hard to accept
Hostility to immigrants is by no means a new phenomena. One of the reasons probably lies in the fact that we all have a deeply rooted fear of the unknown. These folks have decided to look at the problem of immigrant integration from a different angle. It worked wonderfully.
5. This slogan is both funny and perfectly true at the same time
This girl’s take on today’s highly toxic politics is very innovative and refreshing. Just another evidence that love doesn’t care about a human invention like borders.
6. That’s how you spell McDonalds in Arabic
The more languages you speak, the richer you are. This slogan proves that perfectly. If more people made an attempt to understand other cultures, there would be less tension across the globe.
7. Some issues are more important than others
Have you ever stopped to consider how many money is wasted on premature Christmas decorations every year? Money that would be spent better elsewhere. If you agree, you should join this guy and voice your discontent.
8. Time travel is the future
Think about all the opportunities time travels offers. A whole new world of possibilities would open up if we could travel through time. This guy has realized the important of time travel and he’s taking a stand today. So should you.
9. Wives are scary creatures
Wives are always wives, no matter religion they are. Don’t do anything to upset them, or else.
10. Face your fears
Do you also feel uncomfortable around crowds? If you do, the solution is to face your fear and join the first big crowd you can find. Like this guy.
11. What would Jesus do?
Parents are parents, no matter what. There’s enough love for everyone if we are only willing to give it.
12. When you’re fed up with Candy Crash invites
You’ll definitively understand how this guy feels if your Facebook notifactions are also infested with Candy Crash invites. It has to stop, now.
13. +10 points for honesty
The purpose of every protest is to express your attitude about a certain issue and the best way is to do it loud and clear. Don’t be afraid to speak out like this guy. The world can be a very upsetting place.
14. “When Dad Protests Water Prices”
Water shouldn’t be a luxury, right? We perfectly understand how this dad feels and we are fully behind him.
15. Never upset grandma
A protest against Scott Walker and the Republicans found its new hero in this grandma. No matter what you do, don’t make grandma angry because grandmas are a force ot be reckoned with.
16. Protests can be tiring
It takes courage to stand up for your convictions and a lot of stamina as well. We recommend you do some weightlifting before your first protest to avoid situations like this.
17. Dumbledorre for President
What’s better than a little magic to breathe life into a protest? Sometimes we all wish we could wave a wand and make our problems disappear immediately.
18. “Occupy Boston Protest”
Not every protest can be a Tea Party. Unless you are in Boston, that is.
19. “WestBoro Baptist Church Gets Trolled”
Comedy can make us approach things from a different perspective and gain a new insight into something we couldn’t understand before. Well, some plain trolling can do that too.
20. A very creative protest sign
The most powerful slogan is a short one. Whatever’s on your mind at the moment would do. Or even better, leave the sign blank to avoid looking like this guy.
21. “LGBT Rights Protester”
We all know and love the most powerful wizard the world has ever seen. If he were a real person, he would fix many problems troubling our society. These folks know that perfectly well.
22. Money makes the world go round
Education is the key to building a better society. So it shouldn’t be about money, like this guy protesting education funding cuts and increased tuition fees in London, demonstrated.
23. An error occurred, please try again later
Are you running out of ideas for protest signs? Don’t worry, this guy has come up with a simple yet effective solution to get his point across.
24. Shouting is good for your health
They say that louder is always better. There’s definitively some truth to that statement. If you’re not good at shouting, you probably won’t make a good protester.
25. “Water Charges Protest In Ireland”
Water bills can become such a big burden on the home budget that people may sometimes be forced to sell their bathroom accessories just to avoid bankruptcy. A mop is only the first victim.
26. It’s a sign
Everyone knows the best signs are also the simplest. You don’t need to be smart to make a good protest sign, what you need is a lot of confidence and some marketing skills.
27. You can’t see the forest for the trees
It’s one thing when you’re unaware of the fact you’re blocking someone’s view but it’s another thing to be aware of it and proclaim it to everyone else. Protesters shouldn’t do that to their fellow protesters.
28. “Rally To Restore Sanity”
The thing about protests is that they can be confusing. The crowd, the shouting, all those messages people are trying to send can take their toll on our sanity. That’s why signs like this are needed, to restore sanity during a protest.
29. Tea for everyone
Tea and war don’t go well together. You can’t have both and be happy. Without a doubt, everyone should choose tea over war.
30. Protest scrabble
Protests are not only about social change and important issues, they’re also a chance for people to socialize and relax. Anyone for a game of chess?
31. The Great Eye is watching you
Nobody is comfortable with the idea of an all-seeing eye watching everything they do. Fortunately Sauron is not real, or is he?
32. Clean up your own backyard first
We should never intrude on other’s people privacy nor tell others how to live their lives. This guy realized that perfectly well and was brave enough to turn it into a protest sign.
33. Who doesn’t want to be a savior?
Faith is a personal matter. Some people believe in Jesus, while others believe in Goku. There’s no reason why shouldn’t they both coexist peacefully? Right?
34. Our government sucks
Words aren’t necessarily the only method of voicing our discontent with the government. Drawings can do that just as good as words.
35. Eternal optimist
Why focus on the negative side of life when there are so many positive things to look forward to? Maybe not the best attitude for a protester but an encouraging one nonetheless.
36. This sign has a nice ring to it
To wear a ring is not a privilege but a right. Beyonce had made that clear a long time ago.
37. “May Day Demonstration”
Every year on May Day workers of the world unite to send a message to their governments… or to seize the chance to vent out their anger. This guy is at least being honest about it.
38. Pluralism
Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, bro. It’s not cool to impose your values on others. Not cool at all, man.
39. Words of wisdom
It happens rarely but sometimes you can see inspiring signs on a protest. Who doesn’t like turtles?
40. No Christmas this year
Elves have their rights, you know. They are not mindless minions and should be entitled to a day off. The bad news is that with elves on strike, there will be no Christmas presents this year.
41. In Dobby’s memory
We all remember how painful it was to accept the deaths of our favorite Harry Potter characters. Life goes on, however. At least Harry and his friends made it.
42. Anger management
We all need a vent from time to time so that we can continue to function normaly in our daily lives. A protest sign can be a perfect way to vent anger but make sure you keep away from other protesters.
43. Nuff said
We live in a messed up world so why not say it our loud for everyone to hear? There’s only so much pain a person can take in one day.
44. Bigger is better
The most powerful sign should be able to capture reality in only a few words. Needless to say, this sign succeeded in doing that.
45. A protest against protests
Someone will always protest about something, one way or another. There’s hardly a need to waste your time attending protests when there are better things to do. Like making useless protest signs.
46. Say no to discrimination
Marijuana has feelings too and should have its rights like everyone else. What happens in the bedroom stays in the bedroom.
47. Patience is a virtue
Everyting changes when we learn how to be patient. Change takes time and so does progress.
48. “Brexit Protesters In London”
The ongoing Brexit has stirred many ghosts and everyone wants their voice to be heard, no matter which side they’re on. Whatever happens, yEU shall be missed.
49. “Reliant Freedom From Religion Protest”
If you’re not a fan of shrimp then this won’t be of much interest to you but if you are, you may face a difficult dilemma. To eat shrimp or not?
50. Improvisation
You’re broke and have no money to buy a sign but want to go to a protest despite that? Fear not, this guy has a solution that’ll make you happy.
51. Xenaphobia
If you’re not a fan of the Warrior Princess you should definitively join this protest. No more leather gears, battle screams and no more throwing that annoying chakram around.
52. The world needs more protests
What’s there not to like about protests? There’s people, everyone’s in a good mood and you can shout all day long without the risk of annoying anyone. The world would be a happier place if we organized more protests.
53. Just another angry slogan
There are days when we feel angry without actually knowing why. When that happens, you should make a random angry slogan and join the nearest protest.
54. A kid who’s had enough
Kids should get involved and voice their opinions, just like us grown-ups. When someone takes away our rights we feel just like kids when they lose their favorite toy.
55. Zippers are evil
Zippers serve no real purpose other than to waste our time when they get stuck. It’s even worse when the teeth won’t clinch. There’s only one solution: down with zippers.
56. Opinions matter
The heart of every protest is a right to a different opinion. Nobody should take that away from us, no matter what. This woman sum it all up in only four words.
57. “The best protest sign at the Columbia SC KKK event today”
The world needs a hero or the badies will win. Are you also up to the challenge like this guy?
58. Too late for regrets
Carrying a protest sign all day may not be such a good idea. At least he’ll have the satisfaction of sacrificing himself for his ideas. That’s worth something, isn’t it?
59. Nice guys always win
Everything’s so much better when you just ask nicely. We hope the strategy worked… at least for once.
60. Jesus will forgive them
Take a deep breath and say your prayers, then remember not to use a sign like this in a protest. While it’s original it’s also too awkward to be taken seriously. Let’s hope Jesus forgives them.
61. She’s Madonna
If an issue is important enough, Madonna you can be sure that Madonna will take a stand on it. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen in this case.
62. Stand up for bear rights
Humans and bears have so much in common, they can both walk on two feet after all. Bears are people too and it’s high time we admit it.
63. 60’s all over again
This sign is a little something left over from Woodstock. A perfect way to remind us of the crazy 60’s. The world had so much more color back then.
64. Stuck with capslock
Writing in all caps has the same effect as shouting and it’s a legit reason for protest. A with no caps off would be a scary place.
65. A healthy choice
All you bacon lovers out there will wholeheartedly agree with this protest sign. Life is too short so why not have some fried bacon while we’re at it?
