75 acts of vandalism that turned out to be really funny

Have you ever seen a sign that you just had to edit a little bit? Because it made you think of something funny, or just because you had a message to share?

Or maybe it’s not a sign that you need to add or remove text from. Maybe it’s some sort of structure that you somehow add to, making the end result something hilarious.

However, the creative juices strike, there are many like you. No matter where you go, you can find slightly vandalized things that are quite funny.

Keep reading, since I’m going to share 75 times people have found and shared other people’s funny vandalism. But rest assured, we are not promoting vandalism at all!

1. So where is the vandalism?

The pencil sharpener and the sign itself are the vandalism. Apparently the PPPSP is on the UK government’s watchlist.

2. At least he’s cool about it

Some businessmen would’ve got bent all out of shape about this. He just decided to work with it.

3. Message received.

Results delivered. Now this fading fire hydrant has been returned to its proper color.

4. He wasn’t much liked.

This is a Canadian politician who wasn’t well-liked. The sign sort of delivers that message quite well.

5. Victim approved.

And here we have another defaced politician. But really, painting on sunglasses and a mustache isn’t such a bad thing.

6. Proof.

Proof that politicians are all hated by somebody, somewhere. And some people are quite creative when it comes to customizing signs.

7. This is brilliant.

You have to wonder. How many people have stood in front of this dispensary yelling at wondering why they were getting the paper?

8. Ignorance.

There are 2 definitions to the word, one means being offensive, and the other means a lack of knowledge. Someone covered both of those bases.

9. Such harsh language.

I’m Canadian, and yes, we are known globally as the most polite people in the world. But trust me, Canadians do not swear.

10. Oh, no!

It seems Peter has left the building. The only question is was he removed or did it happen naturally?

11. Purrr-fect.

This is actually a great idea. Someone should go around and cover up hate with a more positive message. Or something about pets.

12. This took me a minute.

I couldn’t find a connection to “clap for bacon.” But the red heat lines do look like bacon.

13. A valid point.

Perhaps they should have done a better job at indicating this was a rhetorical question. I mean, they even less space for an answer. But I love the smiley face at the end.

14. This is a real sign.

The actual vandalism here is where the sticker is placed. It appears to be the inside of a bus.

15. Pull up a chair.

This is so simple, yet so creative. Just 3 people at a bar—on a road sign.

16. It’s not wrong.

Not only will it find paper cuts. It will set you on fire if you get too close to a flame with it on your hands.

17. The difference a single letter makes.

Johnny Depp in much better days for him. But he sure is sporting a lot of bling.

18. Whatever your stance…

You have to admit this is funny. And it could really apply to any president, or anyone who spends a lot of time talking.

19. Not plant-based.

I just read that McDonald’s is going to be starting up a McPlant line. If so, that’s totally contrary to this vandalized marketing.

20. Two little words.

That totally changes the message doesn’t it? But what do you think? Do you love McMuffins?

21. Tagging Chase

Someone appears to have it in for Chase. Three separate signs have been tagged.

22. Stupid on so many levels.

I love people who boldly go forward to prove to the world they can’t spell. Especially when it turns out so hysterical.

23. How much thought to this take?

And apparently, that can also be rearranged to read robodick. Who thinks this stuff up?

24. Someone has a point to make.

I’m not sure what that picture is, but perhaps it’s an Egg McMuffin. And yes, while not entirely heart healthy, I’m sure there are worse choices.

25. A time to sing.

This is a vandalized urinal. Manufactured by Toto. I’m just hoping that the threw that marker out if they printed this while standing there doing their business.

26. A very good suggestion.

The English language can be very amusing. While the sentences grammatically correct, it could also lead to confusion.

27. Master Yoda speaks.

First, it’s a good thing they didn’t vandalize Yoda himself. Second, it’s amusing that this is written in Yoda speak.

28. But why?

This is a laundry room. There’s a table. Who wouldn’t be folding their laundry on this table?

29. The perfect answer.

I’m not sure what this sign is hoping to prompt men to do, but I think it might be about to cancer screening. But I think a stubborn man had a rebuttal to make.

30. It may come to this.

Boomer and zoomer jokes aside, this may one day be reality. If it is already. A time when children don’t know what books are.

31. And you thought you knew.

We’ve all seen these posts around it odd spots, usually spots where we would like to park our cars. And hopefully is dumb enough to follow the new instructions.

32. Dave wishes.

I have no idea what social media platform this was taken from, but I’m guessing it’s a dating site. Dave is hoping to score.

33. I can think of so many more.

Stop, in the Name of Love. There is one. How about you? How many titles can you come up with the begin with stop?

34. A very true.

I’m not going to say I don’t believe in the power of prayer, because I do. However, it doesn’t negate using common sense.

35. Actually, that’s very funny.

And really, he set himself up for this, didn’t he? And how is vandalism a threat to free expression?

36. It’s been a while.

I’m not sure what I’m looking at. Maybe a barge? Whatever it is, it’s been there long enough to grow some algae, even on the Rubik’s cube.

37. Self-cleaning.

If you are going to vandalize a police car, this is probably a smart way to do it. Because the evidence will soon disappear.

38. Not to be taken lightly.

I’m actually not sure what’s worse. Somebody stealing my money or somebody stealing my ass.

39. Poor Bill.

Did he even have a chance to defend himself? Was he provided with legal counsel?

40. This took determination.

I’m going to add that this probably took a lot of dedication as well. Because first whoever did this had to get up there, and then they had to be able to stay there well be painted.

41. Why so many visitors?

I’m sure they typically get a steady stream of visitors. Does a small Pepee result in a bigger stream?

42. Complete instructions.

This probably started off as being helpful. And maybe even continue that way before just getting silly.

43. Aww, that’s cute!

Apparently this keeps getting painted over. Somebody draws a pig’s face on the water tank, and that the owner comes and basically again. And then it begins again.

44. Easily fixed.

Sometimes just the smallest change is all you need. In this case all someone had to do was strategically place some electrical tape.

45. Grammar Nazi.

The thing is, they are completely correct. There should be a comma there, right? Someone needs to recall all those packages.

46. They have a point.

Apparently this sign was found at a rest stop off the highway. A place where people naturally get out of their cars and may want to dispose of some litter.

47. There’s always a John.

It doesn’t matter where you work there is always somebody manages to do nothing all day. Apparently John has been caught.

48. Who would want to get that close?

That’s a sanitary sewer. I wouldn’t put my hands anywhere near that, even if it to draw a cute Pac-Man game.

49. How many try?

This is a standard drinking fountain. The kind where you press a button to get water. Except someone added this sign.

50. Oh no.

No one ever told me about a limit. I’m sure I exceeded it long ago. What about you?

51. That’s hysterical.

Who hasn’t been exposed to pigeon poop? Typically after you’ve just wash your car—that seems to be their favorite time to attack.

52. I’m not sure I get this.

It’s a bench. And yet somebody has written BANCH underneath. Is there a deeper meaning, or is this just somebody who cannot spell?

53. Someone a little bitter?

And besides, that’s such a sweeping statement. I know for a fact that there are children who will give you something in return. Unfortunately, it’s often grief.

54. Is it that confusing?

I believe this is the door of a porta potty. Is the locking mechanism so confusing that written instructions are necessary?

55. When you’re bored.

Not everyone is the type to spend time at Hobby Lobby. And clearly some people need to be supervised when they are alone at Hobby Lobby.

56. It’s not a lie.

I have to question this street sign. What is ahead? Is the rest of the sign higher up the pole? Because as it is it makes no sense.

57. If only.

If only people could understand this message. It’s not just national parks, it’s everywhere. Pick up your damn trash.

58. Okay, I’ve never noticed that.

As an I’ve never noticed that one of those looks like a face—an, I’m in pain face. And now that I’ve seen it, I will never be able to unsee it.

59. Small carpark?

I guess this is a tiny parking lot. Because how much room are 10 ants going to take up? However, i probably easy to slip in a few extra ants.

60. Poor Dan.

I wonder if all of the Dan’s in the vicinity have been impacted by this. Not knowing why they can never convince a woman to stay.

61. This works.

That will be just one of several usable options for this sign. Including a sign that has no wording at all.

62. Some signage in Seattle.

Somebody has taken some artistic license with Harry. However, I fear that Harry will disintegrate when it rains, which is often does in Seattle.

63. Vandalizing the vandalism.

This is probably on a bathroom wall somewhere. Someone felt they had to make a philosophical statement, and someone replied.

64. Simple and effective.

This is actually quite ingenious. An extremely cheap method for detecting earthquakes, assuming you can feel the ground moving yourself.

65. It’s Photoshopped.

But it’s still funny. This is a statue of Selena in Corpus Christi, Texas. Someone takes the time to update what she is wearing based on what’s happening locally.

66. Probably not vandalism.

I’m going to guess that the owner of this vehicle added the artwork. And now all I can hear in my head is “Meep! Meep!”

67. Why would someone do this?

Did magic happen for somebody in this spot? Magic that they assumed would not have happened somewhere else? Perhaps that’s the reason why they shared this message.

68. Some people never grow up.

I actually know someone who purchased a book bag of googly eyes because they love doing stuff like this. And I need to add that those eyes should have been added to the double Os in the second line.

69. These stickers.

In case you aren’t in the know, you can buy these for stickers in roles of 500. And then you have fun running around sticking them to random items.

70. Okay, that made me laugh.

But very true right? Billions of poor chickens are bred for one thing only, and that’s for us to eat them.

71. At least no one would be fooled.

Anybody that’s out driving is going to know that that is a stop sign. It doesn’t matter that it’s covered in snow except where it says go.

72. Is this what it takes?

I can see this happening in cities around the world. It’s the only way to get a pothole dealt with is to paint a penis around it, I think a lot of people would be willing to do that.

73. Yowza.

This sculpture is called Serve and Protect and is found in front of the Salt Lake City Public Safety building. This happened during one of the recent protests. Very symbolic.

74. Imagine if that was really a job?

No, I can’t either. And does this mean this person left the washroom without washing their own hands?

75. Some songs will never die.

And while this doesn’t say Hammer Time, the word hammer seems to be all people need, to bring it to mind. “They can’t touch me…”
