When it comes to the first rule of anarchy, Clark Gable said it best in Gone with the Wind with his famous quote, โFrankly my dear, I donโt give a damn.โ Anarchists simply donโt care what other people think of them.
Even so, anarchists do still crave a little bit of attention. But, it doesnโt have to be about something thatโs big and bold. Sometimes itโs the very subtle jabs that says their a pro pulling all the punches.
If youโre in the mood to buck the system right along with them, then check out these 75 cheeky, sneaky, and outright hilarious anarchists. Theyโre rebels with a cause โ which is to make you laugh!
1) No selfies, not even for celebrities
Oooh, Hugh Jackman is such a savage! But, what else do you expect from a Wolverine?
2) โDo not print labels unnecessarilyโ
Sometimes a muted, understated response is the best way to show people that you disagree with the status quo. This sneaky little anarchist knows that label tape is expensive, hence the โunnecessaryโ warning, which is probably why they kept their response short and sweet.
3) โThis kid gets itโ
Not every kid gets it, especially when theyโre this young. But this kid isnโt wrong, right?
@delitomatoes:
โWe have a programmer here.โ
4) โI donโt give a damn!โ
Donโt use a blade to open, you say? Well, what about this Blade? Take that, stupid box!
@catsineveryonespants:
โSerious question what are you supposed to use to open it if not a blade?โ
@Triplekia:
โHouse keys.โ
5) Anarchist achievement unlocked
This cool cat and his hot dog are breaking not 1, but 4 different rules, all at the same time. As if there were any other way to be an anarchist who screws with the rules.
6) โConservatives were burntโ
When โWarriors for Christโ let everyone know that they hate all colors of the rainbow, they got slammed for their conservative point of view. Unfortunately, after it made waves on social media, they pulled a fast one!
@boroq:
โI think they edited it so now itโs just a bible verse with 18k rainbow reacts :(โ
7) โRebels on a setโ
There are starving actors out there who would kill for an opportunity to work on a Hollywood set. But these two Supernatural rebels are just eating and sleeping their way through their lines, even though the signs say โno sleeping on setโ and โno food on set.โ
8) โWhen things get intense at collegeโ
College life is already tough enough. But, students these days are being asked to break more rules than ever before, even though they have a pretty busy schedule. At least Amelia Earhart, the rebel high flyer with wings, would be totally proud of these โfirst classโ anarchists.
9) The city council told him he couldnโt install a garage door.
So, he just found a way around it! This window flips open towards the outside, but when it slides back in against the wall, thatโs when this cheeky anarchist can make his great escape.
10) Sure, whatever, you fascist door!
When this guy came across a door with one too many rules, he decided to take it to Reddit and have them vote for his next move. The sticky note says โ500 upvotes and I will open up mediumly.โ
@hermancer:
โDownvoting for your own safety.โ
@bigyawns:
โPlease be sure you are well hydrated and medical staff are on standby. Wear gloves and steel toe boots. Godspeed.โ
11) โI do what I want.โ
This is why people love actor Nathan Fillion! Heโs just exactly like his character Mal on cult favorite
Firefly, who also did whatever he โgorramโ wanted!
@timeandspace10:
โYou are my spirit animal.โ
@Shari H:
โI know, right?! Heโs such a squish!โ
12) โThis guy doesnโt need no f**king luck!โ
Most people might think that this guy was tempting fate by purposely spilling salt, breaking a mirror, stepping on a crack, walking underneath a ladder, opening up an umbrella in the house, and letting a black cat cross his path. But, it was wearing white after Labor Day that eventually killed him!
13) โBecause F**K 3D art.โ
This guy must not have watched any cartoons when he was growing up. Because if those Saturday morning
Looney Tunes have taught us anything, itโs that as soon as this Wile E. Rebel looks down into the abyss, heโs gonna fall!
@kingeryck:
โWith a small POOF when he hits the ground.โ
14) Guy Standing, sort of.
Hey look, itโs Guy Standing (the economist) who is sitting! If he really wanted to take his anarchy to the next level, heโd change his name to Guy Standing-Sitting and snap a photo of himself lying down.
@Thefriendlyfaceplant:
โGuy Standingโs books are also very relevantโฆ The Precariat is entirely about first world anarchism.โ
15) โThe level of dedication for this type of anarchy is just inspiring.โ
This kind of makes you wonder how many pole dancers were practicing their routine before they put up signs telling passengers to take it elsewhere.
The original text reads:
โPoles Are For Your Safety, Not Your Latest Routine. Hold the pole, not our attention. A subway car is no place for showtime.โ
P.S. The real anarchy here is that this guy isnโt facing the same way as the guy in the sign.
16) This thug life kid!
Sure, heโs wearing a bright red tie while all his classmates look very conservative and subdued in black and white. But thatโs not what sets him apart from the rest of the sheeple. Take a look at his hands and the slight smirk on his face! Now thatโs an up and coming anarchist in the making.
17) โThis cameraman gets it.โ
Well, these husbands were kind of asking for it. Like, literally! Guess they wanted their wives to find out they were playing hooky.
@DoctorNoname:
โGuy on the left: God my wifeโs gunna love this. Guy on the right: God, my wifeโs gunna kill me.โ
18) โI meanโฆ I guess heโs right?โ
Now this is a first-world anarchist. Even though he followed the rules to the T, he still managed to break them!
@CreamCheeseIsBad:
โOh my God first time I saw this post I thought how Fucking stupid it was to have parking for just green painted cars. Iโm so stupid.โ
@phd_student_doom:
โThe sign is for zero emissions or hybrid type vehicles, not green as in color. Also, this car has a huge V8 thatโs burns insane amounts of gas.โ
19) โOriginal bad ass.โ
Every once in a while, someone like David Williams comes along and becomes every anarchist parentโs hero! This is the kind of inspiration that helps them get through those screaming toddler years.
@CatShatBrix:
โHumanity deserves a 3yo badass!โ
@JerseyWabbit:
โSmart kid, thinking ahead โ they have no prints to connect him with any preschool mischief.โ
20) โJust try to stop meโ
With all the cheeky bum lookers out there, did they really think this was going to work? โStop looking at my juicy bottom!โ
@AllahJH:
โI used to write this in sharpie on the underside of the paper cups at my old job.โ
21) โA little superheroโ
Now hereโs an anarchist super hero in the making! This tiny titan is wearing a DC Comics shirt, but actors Chris Hemsworth and Todd Hiddleston play Thor and Loki from the opposing Marvel Comics universe.
@sittingcow:
โThis is like wearing a Beatles T-shirt to a Rolling Stones concert.โ
@tarthwell:
โEverybody knows you donโt wear the shirt of the band you are going to see.โ
22) โConsider the system frickedโ
This is the equivalent of removing that tag on your mattress that says โdo not remove.โ But, the level of anarchism here takes on a very artistic slant!
23) โBrowsing dogs for adoption. I think weโve found the one.โ
Weโve all been indoctrinated to believe that Dalmatians have 101 spots. But for those who can see through all that black and white nonsense, Mr. Stripey is where itโs at!
@idcomments:
โHad a dalmatian as a kid. Named it plaid.โ
24) โI was quite the rebel at tonightโs paint night!โ
Way to plant some sweet Star Wars propaganda into your paint party, you rebel scum! Did a Jedi master mind trick you into doing that?
@lordxoi:
โLooks almost too perfect, like she had access to the base plans or something. Didnโt those go missing?โ
25) โI donโt need your censorship!โ
Jack and Katie were flat-out given the ground rules. But, just like every kid out there to their parents, Jack retorted with a drawing of his snarky version of โDonโt tell me what to do.โ
26) โSexy, sexy sinโ
These signs were posted on Highway 21 between the cities of Caldwell and Austin, Texas. After reading what it said, it convinced these two rebellious girls to flaunt off their sexy, sinful choice!
27) โWhen your son โforgetsโ to tell you about the no green shirts on picture day ruleโ
Well whaddya know, itโs Fast Times at Ridgemont Elementary School! Itโs where your kid plays way too much Minecraft and looks like he belongs on the cover of MAD Magazine.
@frumpyfrontbum:
โHe may have traded all his combs for weed. Elementary school is a rough place in the suburbs.โ
28) โDonโt tell me what to do Momโ
Griffinโs mom might not be so proud, but Monty Python would be writing a funny song about this bloke! โHeโs a lumberjack and heโs okay, he works all night and he sleeps all day! He cuts down trees, he wears high heels, Daisy Dukes and a wife beater top.โ
29) Jobโs done, yo!
Not only is the job done, but itโs very well done, Sir! Even Steve Jobs looks very impressed.
@Kami:
โA bigger version of this exists with more pages.โ
30) โOn A Stairway To Hellโ
This not-so-innocent little troublemaker looks like heโs just chillinโ on an escalator. But, just wait for itโฆLOL! That face tho, right?
31) โThey canโt control this guys appetiteโ
Take only 5? No way, why would someone want to do a crazy thing like that?! Have you ever tasted these addictive, salty chocolate pretzel candy things?
32) โOkay pops, youโve been warned!โ
Donโt put glasses on the table? Well then, how about them glasses, huh? Guess theyโll just have to deal with it!
@YJCH0I:
โBut without your glasses, how will you see their reaction to your madladery?โ
@DooterOnMyMind:
โIโm calling the police POOL-iceโ
33) โScrew your rules!โ
This was almost a perfect setup. But, the bike isnโt black and itโs facing the wrong way. I guess itโs back to the Rule Breakers 101 drawing board!
@NobodyEverSaysHiFelicia:
โJason Statham? Man, the new Transporter movie really has a lower budget.โ
34) โThe absolute madmanโ
Well, he could have followed the rules and chosen โWiselyโ as the characterโs name. But then, that would defeat the purpose of being an anarchist.
@BradC:
โJokeโs on you, character name is case sensitive.โ
35) โAsked my fiance if he wanted a bite of my banana, got this backโ
Um, donโt you mean, EX-fiance? โCause him nibbling on the shaft like that is a pretty good indication that this is the sort of relationship that will come back to bite you!
36) โWhen youโre in a wheelchair, itโs hard not to break the rules sometimes.โ
Thatโs the secret to their success! Wheelchair anarchists always sit down first, instead of waiting to be seated.
@Signal-7_10-4:
โMy favorite thing to do is say โOh, Iโm sorry; I didnโt realize chairs would be provided,โ whenever the waitress pulls out the chair at a table.โ
37) โI make my own rulesโ
Letโs just turn that โno parking signโ into a parking sign. There, thatโs much better. Now you can park anywhere you like!
38) โWhen you convince your brother to rebel against the Crownโ
Uh oh, your punk of a brother better watch out! The punishment for high treason these days is a big mouthful of tea bagging.
@ruppy22000:
โLol. I had a buddy that worked with the Brits in Afghanistan. On the 4th of July they wished him a happy traitorโs day. He promptly responded by disposing of their tea in the Porta Johns.โ
39) โSomeone in my dorm gets it.โ
When picking up the wrong phone is the right call to make. In the meantime, just about every OCD person out there just had a heart attack!
40) โItโs anarchy in the officeโ
โAttention: no color copies! Thanks, Becky.โ Well, this oneโs for you, dear office dictator. Checkmate!
@barkeepjabroni:
โItโs 9/10 for me. Had Beckyโs name been multi-coloured, instead of the full monochromatic red font that went with the whole phrase, then it would have been a 10/10.โ
41) Flip flop anarchist
This guy even got the color of the flip flops just right. What a brilliant psychopath!
42) โThatโs rightโ
Yes, please! Thereโs just something so beautifully poetic about using this sign to prop open the door.
43) โPizza place in my hometown.โ
This pizzaria doesnโt give a flying pie what the law says! But, if youโre going to skirt the rules, then โtechnically legalโ is the best kind of lawbreaker you can be.
@Lori Williams:
โThat is in Boise, Idaho. We have a brew house called Sockeye Brewery. The pizza and beer at the FlyingPie is the best.โ
44) โPlease donโt tip the beesโ
If you think thatโs a big stinky middle finger to the man, then check this out. This dude didnโt even tip the usual 15 percent! Now thatโs the kind of guy who knows how to play the anarchy game.
45) โFirst Worldโ War anarchist
These are the mentors who todayโs fine young rebels learned to play the game from: first world war anarchist soldiers! Before you say that this photo is from WW2, take a closer look at the joke in the title.
@peypeyy:
โThey must not be sailors.โ
46) The face of a broken man!
Do you see whatโs going on here? This man is taking a selfie, while the guy in the background with the โstop taking selfiesโ t-shirt is looking on with utter disgust!
@andimacg:
โWell if youโre gonna wear a shirt telling people how to irritate youโฆโ
47) โF**k you, I wanna be a dolphin.โ
You know those silly cardboard cutouts where you take a picture of your head with a hot bikini body or totally buff dude? Well this rebel decided heโd rather be the dolphin, even though that wasnโt actually one of the choices.
@anonymous:
โTook me awhile to realize it was not a picture of two dolphins who happily decapitated two kids.โ
48) โBills Bills Billsโ
This sign has every Bill you can think of! Thereโs Clinton, Gates, the Science Guy, and it even has Billy the kid! The only worthwhile thing thatโs really missing is the $100 dollar bill.
49) This โ1 second vidโ
This supposed 1-second video is actually twice as long as itโs supposed to be. Maybe itโs the directorโs cut extended edition?
50) โItโs like he did this on purpose.โ
Well, of course he did it on purpose! Thatโs the first rule of breaking the rules. The second rule is taking a nap in the back of the truck when youโre supposed to be making deliveries.
@TheDeviantGuy:
โAs a seasonal UPS driver helper, I can confirm that at least some drivers give no fucks.โ
51) โSomeone stop this anarchist.โ
I know what you low-carb meat eaters are thinking: โI didnโt even know I needed a reverse sub until now.โ Just donโt go too heavy on all that bread or itโll kick you out of ketosis!
@LGA_FirePhoenix:
โThatโs how we eat the bread in Germany.โ
52) โAm I doing this right?โ
Yes, you did it right! If you succumbed to putting an umbrella on the bag holder, then you would have fallen into the trap of conformist non-conformist.
@YoMammaSoThin:
โThe umbrella is in the other hand. Opened. A true rebel.โ
53) โAmerica Mondayโ
Funny how the rebelling against the crown finally came back to bite Americans in the arse. Now thereโs kids supporing โColonial America Mondayโ during Homecoming spirit week!
@ADHORTATOR:
โMake America Great Britain againโฆโ
54) โAnyone else spotted โI hate rubber bootsโ man around Toronto?โ
It may look like he just played himself. But, heโs really just having fun how to subverting first world anarchist expectations even more!
@purplensive:
โYes! I saw him like 2 weeks ago around Bloor/Ossington & was very intrigued. His description of why he wears that is pretty great (from his Flickr) โI donโt really hate rubber boots, of course. Indeed, Iโve been totally obsessed by them my entire life. But itโs fun to walk about in publicโnot just in my bootsโbut with the ironic statement โI HATE RUBBER BOOTSโ plastered across my chest.'โ
55) โThis vending machine has graduated to a new level of anarchy.โ
It gets even better because it gets worse! Checkmate for this rebellious little ATM.
@NotKevinJames:
โThank you, credit card read successfully. Choose one: Withdrawal $14 (+ $1000 service charge), Transfer 50% of your balance to ISIS, Withdrawal $7.30 and your FICO credit score goes down to -500. If a choice isnโt made in 10 seconds all 3 options will happen. Have a nice day.โ
56) You have been warned.
Take that, you filthy, obscenity-ridden whiteboard! But, itโs kind of a weak joke rather than a true act of anarchy.
@CelebornX:
โIf you wanted to be a first world anarchist, youโd have written โfuckโ on the board, since breaking an insignificant rule is what itโs all about. You just made a pun and disobeyed no one.โ
57) The least likely anarchist aroundโฆ
Just like his famous orange-hued cohort in the White House, Vice President Mike Pence canโt seem to keep his hands to himself. When shown a piece of sensitive NASA hardware at the Kennedy Space Center, he defied the rules and placed his hand directly underneath a sign that said โdo not touch.โ
58) โIโll cut what I damn please with my box cutter.โ
This box-cutting madman didnโt cut into the cardboard just anywhere. He very carefully and deliberately removed the โno box cutterโ icon to prove a point.
59) โMy daughter is starting young.โ
This adorable little anarchist is teaching mama a valuable lesson about life. Thereโs no such thing as being happy every single day!
60) โI got pretty wild at Grandmaโs houseโ
When grandma bust out the good place settings for breakfast, whatโs a girl boss rebel to do? Go hog wild by using a fork instead of a spoon, of course!
@vpjoebauers:
โAre those eggs even cooked?โ
@ParadoxPixie:
โI hadnโt put them in the pancake mix just yet, my guy. I had to be an anarchist first.โ
61) He rode a bike without a helmet.
Raine Herzig, you reckless little rebel, you! Wouldnโt be surprised if this kidโs parents were anarchist latchkey kids from the 80โs.
@XanII:
โThat gaze. He knows the truth.โ
62) Donโt run!
You gotta be fast to get this joke! This definitely gets an A+ for effort.
63) โIโll eat them the way I damn well want to eat themโ
Heโs one of those people that donโt believe in mixing different colored vegetables. This is the kind of anarchy that takes society a few steps backwards! But, at least all the veggies appear to be separate yet equal.
@MakingUpAUsernameIsTerrifying:
โWe got rid of segregation for a reason, you monster.โ
64) โWeeman is one of usโ
โItโs only a crime if you actually steal. This little poser is just acting out his anarchist shoplifting fantasy.
@MarsLumograph:
โFuck, he has a long arm.โ
@Ghede:
โThe long arm of the lawbreaker.โ
65) โGF and her friend spent the day in SFโ
No high top Vans, you say? Well, take that, you oppressive sign! Itโs not a good day in San Francisco until you kick it to the system.
66) โI bet he doesnโt even feel cold.โ
Of course not! This is a Russian in his natural habitat. A cheap bottle of vodka and anarchy in the heart is all any Cold War survivor needs to keep their inner fire lit.
@ANUSTART942:
โThe fires of anarchy keep him warm as he refuses to succumb to the conformist uniform white of the snow.โ
67) โSmile, Youโre in Pennsylvania.โ
Wait, is that a Cleveland Indians hat? Yep, this story totally checks out. He comes from a place where eternal road construction has made him hate states of independence.
@OptimusPrune:
โThat is what passes for a smile here in Pennsylvania, bub.โ
@Philippa Denney:
โThought it said State of Indifference after seeing face.โ
68) โMercedes owner doesnโt give a shitโ
Driving a Mercedes Benz is about as conformist as you can get. But, he saved his skin with sly little wink at Tesla.
@Bank_Gothic:
โHa. I drive a little Merc and the first three letters of my license plate are BMW. Just a coincidence, but makes it easy to remember.โ
69) โMy daughter and I shopping at Walmart with a Target cartโ
This is how you bring class into a lawless society. Targetโs carts are thick and sturdy, and their wheels are never wonky. Good work, anarchist family!
@Theo_dore:
โThe Walmart where I live has only janky carts! I have never once gotten a cart that actually works properly. Itโs so annoying that I try to avoid Walmart whenever possible; Iโd rather pay a little more and not have to wrestle my cart all over the store!โ
70) โMy boyfriend gets itโ
Turns out the boyfriend had the plums after all to pull off this clever little switch. Itโs the perfect crime for a sneaky, snacking anarchist!
@entropic:
โโWhatโd you do Saturday?โ โOh just showed my girlfriend the ole banana and plums if you know what I mean.'โ
71) โI am raising the future and the future will be filled with chaosโ
God help us all! Only a world class lunatic would defile a perfectly good burrito like this!
@wizardcats:
โI can actually believe this one happened. Kids are weird. I used to babysit a girl who would eat hotdogs by holding it normally, but only eating the mat part (not the bun) off the end and pull the rest of the hot dog out of the bun slightly with each bite. She just used the bun as a convenient holder for it.โ
72) โI can get all the way to 10 if I also use my other handโ
Go ahead, try it! Every budding rebel learns how to buck the system by first learning how to say their ABCโs and counting their 123โs.
@regularabsentee:
โI canโt believe some people are actually stupid enough to put pictures of themselves doing illegal shit like this online. See you in prison, you sick degenerate.โ
73) โOn the Madrid Metroโ
This is so disgusting. We now live in a world where you canโt even give a thumbs up to the Metro. No more, my friends, no more. Be the change that you seek!
@keropokemans:
โTwerking a door is the only acceptable way of opening a door in Madrid.โ
74) โThis is one of my best friends. I canโt believe he actually wore it.โ
Touche! The t-shirt this guy is wearing has an image of Edward Snowden, and it reads โwhistle while you work.โ Snowden is the infamous whistleblower who got caught leaking highly classified documents from the National Security Agency.
75) โATM Anarchyโ
This is how it all starts, people! First they ask you to spread your legs for money, next theyโll demand that you put your hands up against the wall like a common thief. When will it ever end?
