These Hilarious Restaurant Signs Guarantee a Steady Customer Base

Some restaurants leave you speechless with their creativity. We are not speaking of cleverly thought-out fusion food or the innovative decor of the place. Instead, the offers to get more customers into the diner are so irresistible that we have no choice but to try out their food.

Here is a fascinating signboard that dares you to walk in with a girlfriend and get five percent off or bring your wife to enjoy their 10 percent discount offer. Better yet, accept their cheeky challenge of visiting with both of them, and win a free meal for all three. Now, that’s a dare not many would accept, not even for free food.

When you are walking down the street with your beloved, wondering what more you can do to show how much you adore them, this restaurant sign comes into view telling you to buy extra rounds of drinks to prove your love for them. Anyone in love would take the bait and do exactly as the message reads.

Physical touch, loving words, quality time, receiving gifts, and acts of service; looks like this restaurateur believes in Dr. Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages, and, in one swell swoop, the message on his signboard checked a few of these. What a clever way to bring in paying customers!

No one does it like McDonald's; you can get a good hearty meal for a steal. What's more, this one throws in an any-sized drink at only a dollar apiece. Even a 50-foot drink would cost you only $1! If that isn't a tempting invitation to visit the restaurant and eat to your heart's content, we don't know what else is.

As far as memorable signboards go, this one is for the books. We bet the message gathered a lot of happy customers, and the restaurant staff was busy but thrilled to have the place bustling with people ordering meals and drinks with gay abandon. The management must have loved the trooping in and the cash that came with it.

It's common for people to go to restaurants to catch up with family and friends over a leisurely meal. If that's your purpose, better skip this one that asks customers to get out as soon as they finish eating. Even though the message sounds rude, we cannot help but appreciate their honesty.

Bob's Grill's straight-shooting signboard was not one for mincing words. They mean business. Faster turnaround of paying clients means more income, and which establishment wouldn't like to secure their bottom lines? We have to go out on a limb and presume they don't charge as much as the restaurants where you can spend quality time enjoying dinner with your mates.

Some restaurants can get creative when it comes to cracking up their customers. This one has got both pun and a message to think about. Every item in the list has an end—friend, best friend, boyfriend, or girlfriend—but only food has no end.

Whether this is meant literally or figuratively, there's some truth in the statement. Still, visiting this place with any kind of friends can make food more enjoyable. The restaurant owners, too, will appreciate it if every customer comes along with a friend and buys an extra plate for them.

A restaurant is a nice place to rewind and fill one's stomach when feeling stressed out and hungry. It, nevertheless, seems like the owners of this place offer more than that: they give customers a refresher course on philosophy.

By telling everyone that they're not special and that nothing is, it may be that they want their customers to embrace life as they see it rather than having an inflated estimation of themselves. Whatever their reasons are, it still doesn't look like a good idea to make people feel bad while serving them food.

The owner of this restaurant sure sounds like someone who can take a disadvantage and turn it into an advantage. Someone must have given a bad review about the meatball sandwich the restaurant serves, so instead of fighting it or trying to prove it wrong, the owner tries a different method.

Inviting people to taste their bad meatball sandwich may look like a joke and stir their interest. Yet, it will only come as a surprise if someone comes over only to find out that it's not as bad as they had thought.

We believe many people are used to seeing a lot of El Arroyo signs because they make the most amusing and attention-grabbing restaurant boards. This one here shows the everyday challenge people face, especially couples, in their search for a great place to eat out. Like all of El Arroyo's signs, this one will tickle your fancy.

You don't need to look up zodiac signs or take compatibility tests if you and your significant other can locate a restaurant you enjoy. You two are meant to be. On the side though, this is the first El Arroyo sign that particularly refers to a restaurant.

People want value for their money, but sometimes, they want a little extra. It's just a part of human nature. Any service provider who combines free offers with some paid ones has a high chance of increasing their customer base.

This restaurant got the idea and decided to air live broadcasts of the Olympics. Who wouldn't want that? It would be a nice idea to grab a cold or hot sip and watch the games at the same time and in the same place. Anyone who enjoys it will want to keep coming until the end of the competition.

Free stuff is attractive especially when there are no strings attached. Nevertheless, before concluding that something is free, one should pause long enough to make sure that there's nothing they're missing.

In this case, the sign appears to be announcing that 40 taps of beer are available for free. At first glance, that's what it reads, but reading in-between the lines can come in handy here. It will reveal that the drink is not free; the air conditioning is. As for the 40 taps, it's referring to the number of beer brands from all over the world that are available here.

Most restaurants just list the types of drinks they serve, but this one has chosen to go in a somewhat different direction. Every beverage, including common soft drinks, lemonade, tea, and "strawberry," was photographed. While it might not be extremely necessary, folks with vision issues will appreciate the gesture.

Our observation is that the pictures of Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Root Beer, and tea might represent the same beverage because they all look the same. Then the small drink size also costs $1, which doesn't even come close to the incredible discount McDonald's recently offered.

Oh, no hipsters allowed? Guess we'll have to leave my kale smoothie and tiny hamster at the door! We were really hoping to impress everyone with our ironic mustaches and discuss the existential meaning of vintage vinyl records.

Well, back to the underground coffee shop where they appreciate our eclectic tastes and don't discriminate against our furry, four-legged friends!

Here's one more brilliant sign. This one tells us what the restaurant sells, and it's a lot of information when compared to El Arroyo. One dollar for a pizza sounds like a good deal but is not realistic. It becomes particularly humorous because the Philosoraptor, a well-known deep thinker on the internet, is here wondering why pizzas aren't always this affordable.

This restaurant deserves some credit for the signboard's idea. They've gone for a talented artist and it sure looks like it's paying off. The illustrator did their utmost to convey the raptor's curiosity and thoughtfulness without leaving out the restaurant's message.

In some establishments, mere words don't always get the desired result. If the eatery is foreign or serves food from another culture, the language barrier is something to consider. Things must have gotten quite bad for the restaurant owners to put up a sign appealing to customers not to overturn the tables.

It doesn't appear to be a nationality issue because the owners wrote the warning in English and Japanese. Added to that is a stick figure to drive home the point. Perhaps unsuccessful Yakuza dealings or terrible sushi are to blame for this.

The poem is pretty laughable and might amuse some passersby, but this restaurant certainly has to do better if they plan on attracting more customers. Bacon is red, all right, but what's this talk about blue steak? It turns out this name refers to a rare variant of steak. Still, whoever made that sign might want to stick to what people know.

Their naming decision, "The Alex Restaurant," has to be backed by a solid reason. Maybe the establishment is owned by Alex, or the owner employed only Alexes for some weird reason. Perhaps, you're only allowed to eat there if your name is Alex. Whichever it is, we can only hope the food isn't as bad as the poem.

This employee needs to be applauded for following their boss' instructions through and through. They were to come up with something creative and thought-provoking to write on the restaurant's sign. Well, that is exactly what the employee did, jotting down the boss' exact words and writing them on the board instead of actually coming up with an attention-grabbing message.

Perhaps, it was a creative marketing gimmick to have people stop and take notice of the place. Either way, this particular chalkboard sure does make headlines.

It's crucial to note that humor is subjective, and what may be amusing to some, can be offensive to others. Simply by putting 'women' in this statement, for some, this sign turns out to be a humorous commentary on the absurdity of excluding an entire gender from a restaurant.

The unexpected twist in the punchline is what makes it funny to many people, would you agree?

It appears the owners of this restaurant had had enough of digitization and social media. We believe they wanted their ambiance to be what it used to look like in the '90s before everybody preferred gazing at their phone screens instead of making real-life conversations. So doing away with Wi-Fi entirely was the only choice left to the owners.

On second thought, could it be that they couldn’t install Wi-Fi due to some other issues and were being positive about it by encouraging customers to forget about their smartphones and focus on human interactions? That brings out the true essence of eating out together, doesn’t it?

The owners of this particular café called Karma don't believe in fitting things into organized tables and charts. That’s why they don't want to limit your food choices to a set menu. When you eat at this joint, you can expect to be served whichever food item you deserve.

A novel and inspiring idea, but doesn’t that make the sky the limit to a customer’s food whims and choices? Plus, who decides what food a person is worthy of, the waiter? Perhaps there is more to it than meets the eye. One has to visit Karma café to see what they actually mean by that sign.

The recommendation of a restaurant by the owner themselves can have dual meanings. Either the owner thinks their restaurant is so good that they prefer to eat there instead of other places, or they are too subjective since they own the place.

So what should a potential customer make of such a recommendation? We are caught between believing if it's the best place to eat or not even taking it seriously. After all, the review is quite simple without any mention of food quality, service, and ambiance. What can one make of a review by the owner, especially one so short of words?

If you’re confused about whether you should eat this restaurant’s meat, this chart will expel all your doubts. Informative with a tinge of humor, this rather descriptive chart can have one either rolling on the floor laughing or rolling their eyes at the utter confusion it causes.

Simple descriptions and recommendations were nowhere sufficient for this restaurant owner, as they thought providing their customer with different options posed as questions that elicit a yes or no response would inform people better. Anyway, it’s fun to read the whole thing through, that is if one has the time.

Let’s face it: We all get the urge to photograph our meals and share them with friends on social media. If the meal looks very nice and was bought in an even more attractive restaurant, the urge might just be stronger. This is all harmless fun, right? Well, according to this restaurant, no!

For some reason, these folks find it irritating when guests take pictures of their food, and would even give "a free concussion" if that happens. Maybe they noticed that there’s more interest in the beautiful appearance of the eatery than in the dishes they offered. Still, the big question is, will this sign keep the clients in check or will it just scare them off?

Since time immemorial, drinking has been a favored practice befitting all occasions. Whether you just lost a high-paying job or just bagged an even better one, a tasty beverage can always make an exciting companion. Though most times, the negative is always the motivation to walk into a bar, this restaurant has reverence for the old ways.

No matter the occasion, enjoy yourself with a tasty drink, this sign says. It doesn’t need to possess a traditional implication—every day is significant. Although it appears to care about your every mood, this business simply came up with a very clever way of saying "just spend your dollars here regardless."

Nothing is funnier than a neon sign that flickers off in all the wrong places, and this one is no different. Sometimes the result is just an error that can be discarded or simply something hilarious. In this case, though, this neon sign is divulging a secret that passersby should be aware of.

The Dynasty Restaurant is, according to this sign, a "nasty restaurant." Maybe there’s an unknown rat infestation or perhaps the kitchen is in unhealthy proximity to the dumpster. Probably their meals aren’t as delicious as they appear or the restaurant desperately needs a renovation. No matter what it is, this sign is indicating something, although in a humorous way.

Unlike what you would have thought, most restaurants are just as interested in your fashion sense as in your ability to foot the bill. Certain places would like to be associated with a particular class of people and this eatery has singled out just one group of people from their guest list: those who wear socks with sandals.

Wearing socks with sandals is as controversial as celebrity gossip. There are different opinions about it. For some, it’s a hit trend, and to others, it is a major fashion faux pas. This restaurant has strictly provided its stance on the matter, and you’d best comply if you’re interested in any of their delicacies.

Entertainment and food seem to be inseparable. While we’re munching on some fast food, we might be enjoying something interesting on our phones, playing mobile games, or even watching a movie. Restaurants have observed this habit closely and have also bought into it. Here’s a coffee shop that, instead of TV or karaoke, has opted for some simple comedy to keep guests engaged.

The joke is a very clever one, considering that we’ve all fancied an off-trend at some point, and could all be called hipsters. So, on your next visit to this particular cafe, be sure to not wear anything odd (like socks with sandals) because the joke would be on you.

A restaurant sign can be a joke or even a threat, but the truth is, we've all come across a sign that made us do a little thinking before we got the real meaning. We, however, can't say the same for this sign—arguably the most lucid in the world. Who doesn't know eggs?

An egg is a lean protein with an average of about 70 calories. It tastes delicious and is sure to quench your hunger. This restaurant knows you're already aware of the various kinds of eggs such as scrambled, omelet, or even hardboiled, and, as such, do not want to bother you with plenty of sale pitches. This explains the straightforwardness of the sign.

Some signs require a second look; this is one of such, even suggesting a damaging testimony about the meals at first. A closer look would, however, leave you applauding the restaurant for wonderful wordplay and humor. As admirers of the famous musician Snoop Dogg, they have succeeded in mixing comedy and uniqueness; we bet you can't wait to have a bowl of Vietnamese soup.

If you succeed in making bypassers smile and aware of what you sell with just one sign, you have achieved the goal. We really hope people gave it that second look, else, all the promises of bubble tea and Vietnamese cuisines would probably go to waste.

Ten percent off is surely a fantastic offer. The question, though, isn't whether or not you would want to save some cash, but if you can keep up with the requirement this restaurant seeks before the ten percent discount. No jokes; who thinks of something as weird as meowing 10 times while ordering a meal in a restaurant?

The drawing is sure good; however, take it from us that this sign has nothing to do with cats. On the other hand, suppose the staff is okay with their customers meowing their way to the 10 percent offer, this may be fun.

According to this cheeky sign, you should be celebrating father's day if you are in the same camp with professionals famous for their seductive tendencies, especially when there is a lonely wife in the picture.

Who puts up a sign without telling us what they sell or their name? If you think there's no one, feel free to point out this place. We are sure if you are to hop into the restaurant and introduce yourself as one of those listed on the sign, you may get an ovation and a free drink.

If McDonald's, the "king" of fast-food burger stores, had a little brother, it will be Burger King, even though many people would still choose their food over golden arches. Burger King has long displayed an interest in humor, and with this sign, we are pretty sure the dream has come to fruition; at least it's a guaranteed chuckle.

This sign would amuse you if you enjoyed the cartoon show as a kid. Nonetheless, we are sure there would still be a little bit of struggle getting a manager for this place. Everybody knows for a fact that Mr. Spongebob has a lousy working style.

There are warning signs out there for a very simple reason: to warn you about possible threats dangers. In recent years, the tremendous growth in warning signs has led to an unprecedented internet trend. People are going out of their way to show the funniest signs.

If you're in the mood to laugh, then these silly signs will do the trick.

You may not realize just how necessary a farewell kiss is if you've never had to say goodbye to your loved one. The whole situation can get quite emotional for both sides, and it is not an easy thing to do. Especially if the two of you are going to be away from each other for a longer period of time.

It's a good idea to ensure that the very last minutes you spend with each other are romantic moments, especially when you're going to be away from each other for a long time. Nevertheless, in this situation, it seems like people have shown each other way too much affection. Airport parking is a challenge, so remain within the three-minute timeline.

Something should be said about cats that also make good watchdogs. Having dogs in your house is the standard rule to make sure there are no unexpected tourists wandering onto your property, without you actually knowing about them.

Nevertheless, it may be just as fun to have a curious mouse prowl about your room. Fortunately, this household decided in advance to warn potential intruders. That will, ideally, hold them in a lock or they will just have to deal with the cat!

The reality is that machines can do nothing without people programming them. This does not suggest they're not incredibly helpful, it simply means that they don't operate the same way as people do.

This warning sign sends a clear message, use your brain and common sense when operating the machine. Failure to do so can result in serious harm to yourself and others.

The presence of an afterlife has created much debate. Over most of the course of human history, the issue itself generated thousands of societies and perceptions and helped to produce many of the beliefs that we have today. Does the afterlife exist or not? Is there a God? Is there heaven and hell, like all those biblical stories tell us about?

Or is there absolutely nothing waiting for us on the other side, and we just simply disappear? Quite scary to think about it, don't you agree? Smartly, this sign gives brazen criminals the chance for all those looking to find out the solution to this ancient query. Good fortune to the dumb ones here who dare to infringe!

In recent times, our enhanced communication level has made it possible for us to do some incredible things. It's not unusual to see, on the other hand, thousands of young people glued to their screens informing everyone else about the smallest things in their lives.

This property figured it would be a great way to save visitors by convincing them to publish any news after the crisis has already happened and not during. Do not take out your phone unless it's to contact the emergency services.

Nothing is more amusing than seeing a warning being so poorly missed. Nonetheless, in the end, we assume that the warning sign is just about that, a warning! Warning signs cannot do anything else but alert you.

Although these kids enjoy their moment on the pipe, which they should be far away from, we wonder how long it took for the guards to come and remove the kids from the forbidden area.

We realize we are moving very rapidly toward a more autonomous future society, but sometimes we are still a little far away from the society of self-aware AI and daily industrial robots.

In the meantime, though, these staff left warning signs that inform clients as well as employers that they are not computers and that they still encounter the same old human error that we are all so vulnerable to. So be patient, please, until the robots can finally replace us at our jobs!

Tigers are some of nature's strongest and most aggressive cats. They are renowned for their exquisite coats and exceptionally lovely designs. Tigers are also regarded as having been pretty fierce hunters and are famous for attacking people in the forest.

Tigers in confinement are kept behind fences but that doesn't mean that it's a great idea to get too familiar with them. Moreover, these big cats look at you like a bunch of delicious steaks. Maybe the best way to stay alive is not to attempt anything funny.

You know how frustrating it is for someone to convince you how to go about your job, especially if you are the type of individual who takes your work seriously. Sometimes you really need a little help, but there can be too much help in the office and it quickly gets annoying.

This sign might be from someone who dealt with this particular issue. It may be a great idea for your own protection to stick to the warning or land on the floor!

When you walk into a room, nothing is worse than gliding on a watery surface. Cleaners are advised to always make sure they put up a sign before or after they clean up a mess. But cleaners can also be a little imaginative with the alerts they create.

According to this sign, we're not sure if it means that you should be primed for jazz hands, or you will be snapped up by jazzy cleaners. Either way, watch your step!

In this well-placed photo, we couldn't help ourselves from having a few chuckles. Maybe seagulls are more intelligent than we know and do not like the idea of us telling them where they can or can't go.

Maybe this gull is just a little defiant. Who knows? In either case, it is clear that having such a sign had little effect on the local population of the seagull!

It's not uncommon to find quite strange second-hand advertisements. But if you saw this on the roadside, you would have smiled along with other commuters who also frequent that road. It could be a smart opportunity to invest in a high-quality parachute if you have ever thought about attempting skydiving.

It's unbelievably dangerous to have one available and not functioning, however. It will most certainly lead you to death. So what happened to the owner of this parachute? We don't dare to ask.

All right, so we'd lie to you if we didn't say that Brits have some of the world's best comedy as far as the tube is concerned. Politeness is an essential component of British culture, and a vast majority of the general public actually does not accept rudeness.

While we can say that we don't know what 'tube mice' are, it's scary to think of it. We're looking out for you with this one!

While we're pretty sure none of you ever really tried swallowing a hanger, this organization thought it was best to make sure you didn't do it! We've seen people swallowing swords before but this right here is a bit insane!

We don't even know how you could get a hanger inside your mouth, to begin with, but at least if you do, you have been warned! Or you ought to consider joining the circus!

This is a very profound question, and we put our very best effort into contemplating it. Although we do not think that feet are technically shoes, could they be? Feet need shoes and maybe that's what makes them feel like they are shoes.

Then again, we may just be thinking too much about this philosophical question. But someone inside this store may have the appropriate answer!

We're wondering if you are still scratching your head over this one – it certainly surprised us. We all know what a door looks like. So what do these people think they are trying to get away with?

While we have to applaud them for trying to conceal the obvious in broad daytime, they are not going to fool us long! Unless it really isn't a door.

Although many enjoy a bit of bathroom humor, those who love swimming or diving will probably benefit from this sign the most.

Signs like these served in many instances to save lives. Nonetheless, the sign clearly says you shouldn't dive into the toilet. Sounds like you might have to find a different toilet. This one is off-limits!

All right, so this is a pretty good one with slightly dry humor. We believe it feels as if the world is going a little crazy today with all of the absurd things occurring from world politics and local affairs.

You can't help but laugh as you know that we might as well be currently living in the end times – so we think it's important to stay up to date with the affairs, even after the disaster strikes!

At the end of the day, we can all be a little egoistic about the small aspects of life. Nothing is better than being free to eat chips by yourself without any shame. The only thing is that the majority of our relatives or loved ones feel they have the right to share these delicious snacks.

However, the solution might have been found by this genius store! Buy your loved one a flavor you know they dislike, and they're all yours!

All right, so we don't know if there's a fresh hidden phenomenon about breaking doors or if people can't remember how to use a door correctly. But this warning sign takes the cake!

Though presumably there aren't so many other options to go through a door, here the shopkeeper obviously has encountered problems in the past. How about we just start to provide technical manuals on using doors?

Most of us do not believe that getting eaten by an animal is a great idea. It's something that many of us will usually attempt to avoid as often as possible. The same statement stands out in the animal world, as it turns out!

We don't know if that always is the case, but this sign puts things in a quite amusing way by saying that if you are the one to feed the animals, they will get sick. This time consider yourself fortunate!

The Valley of Death is regarded as one of Earth's hottest locations. This place has undoubtedly been called 'Death Valley' because everything from the climate to the biodiversity here can kill you quite rapidly.

In the event of an emergency, standing outside a health facility is one of the best things you can do. However, it definitely seems like an oxymoron to see the sign for the regional health center here! Death Valley hospital –who'd guess?

With this perfectly executed shot, we literally cannot help laughing. Something informs us that this guy was attempting to laugh off the sign “Thank You For Driving Carefully” and somehow he was able to put a car into a ditch–directly behind the sign!

Something weird was going on, and we know it. If there ever was an image on the road that highlights an important and hilarious moment, this would undoubtedly be a worthy candidate!

Skincare is worth billions of dollars! Millions of people go to their local convenience store every year to get a range of emulsions, lotions, and remedies to support their youth and make them look good.

Yet 'googly eyes' are one aspect that most beauty products don't dream of when starting a new advertising campaign. We know Drew Barrymore's natural beauty, yet she starts looking a little too contrived if you put a couple of googly eyes on her!

One of our most famous actors is Tom Hanks. He is not only known as a talented artist, but also for creating some of the weirdest pictures we ever saw. Having a tendency to find the unusual in his daily life, Hanks came upon a mysterious warning sign that left all his followers dumbfounded about what it meant.

We will certainly keep our own eyes peeled for something out of the norm having never even seen a flower cross a street!

Over the years, we came across very crazy road signs–but you have definitely been left salivating by this one! During lunch or on a dry, sunny day, little seems more appetizing than a delicious hot dog.

The same could be said for a nice, fatty sausage, and although it may not be the healthiest choice, it definitely is a tasty one! We just hope this is really a crossroads because it is also popular for the hospitality of some nice hardcore barbeques on the weekends!

Sometimes a warning sign can cause a person more anxiety and panic than necessary. This one reveals a 'New Life' lane, but underneath it, there's a 'DEAD END' tag... Is 'New Life' a dead-end road?

Only when the two signs are put under each other can we understand just how luscious and terribly confusing it might be to identify the opposite terms.

You'll enjoy this completely honest sign, its refreshing message, and right up to it if you think honesty is always the best strategy. The honesty of this sign is so direct that if you listen to the warning, it will tell you to stop and possibly turn back.

Once you read it, it takes your entire attention because this absolutely honest sign does not want your time to be wasted or anyone who dares to read it.

In many places such as supermarkets, malls, and even workstations, surveillance can be used. When, indeed, a system was installed, there could have been a warning to inform those who are being monitored that they're being watched, such as this sign asking to be read.

In fact, this example perfectly shows how some people might feel when they are being watched, which seems to just intensify the form of surveillance.

We are actually shocked that in the first place, a one-wheeled machine has made it so far. And why is someone supposed to use a one-wheeled bike? Does this sign advise us not to ride a unicycle?

We can't help but find this sign at best ambiguous, but was it an error? Obviously, anyone who did it doesn't know exactly how bicycles operate.

The majority of individuals could use the phrase "That's so ironic." Most people actually do not even know what irony is and they get it all wrong. Irony is when everything that occurs is the opposite of what you would expect.

For instance, take this humorous message to say, ‘all illegally parked cars will be fine.’ This just tells us how important orthography can be! Our vehicle could be towed away, yet it turns out to be all right. What a reassurance!

Okay, thank you for the explanation. We had no idea what the sign with the big red message saying "STOP" was all about prior to reading that description. At that residential intersection, the stop sign was not adequate to convince drivers to step on the brakes.

Is this the world's most meaningless road sign? This sign is so powerful that people around the world who do not even drive are now giving it all their attention.

As soon as you see the message on the house behind this sign, you can't help but chuckle upon reading it. Many may prefer cats, whereas others claim that they like dogs, but that is definitely a sign that makes the situation crystal clear.

The suggestion regarding that sign is that the "H" in Catholic has dropped from the wall of the Parkdale Holy Family Catholic School, but it is even more enjoyable with the sign accompanying it.

If you're still interested in laughing out loud, then next up, check out some hilarious zoo signs.

The Animals Aren't the Only Attraction: The Funniest Signs Seen at the ZooThis picture from Sea Life in London is all sorts of confusing. Was a wet floor sign really needed inside a water-filled tank? We wonder who left it there and whether they got into trouble for it. At least someone captured this hilarious picture!

The stingray seems to be posing with the unwanted sign, mocking whoever had placed it in the tank. While the sign is unnecessary, we can’t exactly deny its truthfulness. The floor really is wet inside a water tank.

We love how this aquarium is rewarding and punishing its cute little penguins. According to this sign, Timmy had been particularly naughty that month. Clearly, you have to steal some fish from fellow penguins to land on the naughty list.

On the other hand, we have Betty who is the good penguin of the month. What landed her with the title, you may be wondering? Her perfect manners and good swimming of course. Hopefully, Timmy learned to be a good penguin and didn’t end up on the wall of shame again.

Monkeys may be your favorite friendly primates but associating with them has its risks. Well-intentioned zoo-goers often like to feed these monkeys little snacks. If you think that’s a reasonable thing to do, this sign will give you something to think about.

Apparently, not all monkeys are friendly, some are out looking for human fingers. We can’t really blame the monkeys, perhaps they think your fingers are food! Next time you think of feeding some poor monkeys at the zoo, think of your precious fingers, please.

It’s a known fact that most visitors at the zoo have little regard for rules and regulations. It seems as if this zoo was tired of people littering their cigarette butts near the animals. One shouldn’t be smoking in a zoo in the first place and discarding these used cigarettes out in the open is highly irresponsible.

Instead of simply putting up a 'No Smoking' sign, this zoo management decided to act a bit cheeky. Their sign is hilarious, eye-catching and it gets the message across. Perhaps now people will think twice before carelessly throwing their cigarettes on the ground!

It’s a well-known fact that lions are carnivorous animals that might see humans as a hearty meal. There have been many incidents of lions mauling their trainers or visitors at zoos. Even after these cautionary tales, some people manage to do the most ridiculous things.

Clearly, people have been attempting to climb the lions at this zoo. Perhaps they’re mistaking these beasts for a horse are simply looking for a dangerous photo opportunity. Whatever the case may be, nothing is worth losing your life over!

Sometimes people forget that wild animals are not the same as humans and have no obligation to smell nice. Apparently, some people thought that penguins should smell as good as they look. This sign reminds visitors that penguins may be super adorable but that their diet primarily consists of fish.

To be honest, this one makes us a bit sad for all the cute penguins. We’ve really stooped so low as a society that we have to bully penguins for how they smell. If you can’t handle some stinky but cute animals, what are you even doing at a zoo?

Birds may be stunning creatures but they’re notorious for choosing the worst spots to relieve their bowels. If you’ve ever been at the receiving end of a bird’s little gift of nature before, you know how embarrassing it can be.

This zoo decided to save visitors from an incoming attack with this to-the-point sign. We think this is some really valuable insight that’ll help people not only in the zoo but anywhere in nature. So if you’ve been standing in one spot for far too long, maybe it’s time to get a move on.

Everyone knows you shouldn’t be tapping on the glass as it’s highly disruptive and disrespectful to the animals. Unfortunately, people do it anyway. The impulse to startle or scare the animals into reacting is highly selfish and kids should be taught to avoid such actions.

This zoo took matters into their own hands with an ominous sign that hints at something truly terrifying. Perhaps the simple “Don’t bang on the glass” sign was ineffective so they had to add the last line to it. We hope this scary spin on it will convince people to leave the poor snake alone!

Zoos have strict rules about climbing over the fences, walls, and enclosures that separate visitors from animals. However, there are some adventurous and highly stupid people out there who decide to put their life on the line anyway.

This zoo makes it clear that its rules are primarily for the animals’ safety. If you try anything dangerous you might end up falling inside the cage and getting devoured by the animals. The animals deserve the best diet and the zoo thinks a meal of visitors will make them really sick.

This is one of the most bizarre zoo signs we’ve ever come across. While other signs warn visitors against feeding animals food, this is a bit different. The sign prohibits people from feeding the alligators hallucinogens.

It’s almost hilarious when you note the little mushroom featured in the illustration. We wonder what kind of inebriated people decided to feed the poor alligators their magic mushrooms. What do alligators do when they’re high? We’re dying to know the backstory behind this sign!

It’s heartbreaking that this zoo had to put up a sign in order to protect the llamas from assault. Clearly, someone vile had punched one of the llamas in the past. Why anyone would visit a zoo to hit one of the animals is beyond us.

Llamas are particularly friendly and docile creatures so the thought of someone inflicting violence on them is truly sickening. We really hope the llama at least got to spit on the person’s face.

If you tend to get lost inside zoos and can’t find the animals you went there to see, these signs will surely solve all your problems. Instead of using complicated signage, this zoo has resorted to grouping animals into categories we all can understand.

Even a little kid would know what it means when they read these signs. Although we must say, the sign is doing a disservice to animals who smell bad. Who’d want to visit them after you describe them like that?

We all know parents want the best for their children. But sometimes, these parents can go a bit too far to make the kids happy. This sign may seem like an over-exaggeration, but this is actually super common in zoos. A lot of parents can be seen dangling their little kids over the fences to get a closer look.

Needless to say, it’s highly dangerous and potentially fatal for kids. You never know when a wild animal may be triggered to attack. It also puts kids at the risk of falling inside the cage, creating an impossible situation for the zoo staff.

While we can’t deny that goats are absolutely adorable, picking them up isn’t exactly on our list of things to do. However, some people out there are apparently picking up goats at the zoo and the management is not happy.

To warn all these goat-pickers, the zoo has put up a huge red sign. The most hilarious but confusing part is that this is marked as Rule #1. We’d love to see all the other rules they’ve put up. Hopefully, they’re not as bad as this one.

Gorillas are super smart animals with very distinct personalities. If you’re visiting gorillas at the zoo, it’s better to respect their personal space. If you end up disturbing them too much, they might target you. According to this zoo, the gorillas are prone to throwing clumps of dirt at people.

We believe that gorillas are gentle animals but perhaps there are some naughty ones among them too. So if you see one gearing up for an attack, it’s better to run far away! We think gorillas have really good aim.

There are no restrooms in the wild and animals are quite comfortable with their defecating habits. In the zoo, this can lead to quite an array of unpleasant smells. However, this zoo is a bit different. As the sign suggests, the zoo has a separate restroom for giraffes.

We love how their washrooms are also divided into two separate areas for males and females. One has to wonder how these washrooms have been built and if the giraffes are trained to use them. This seems like it’s right out of some Disney animated flick.

People at zoos can be super unpredictable and often display unexpected behavior. You’d think most individuals would be aware that throwing things into cages is not a good idea. But hooligans like to cause disorder and you never know what they’ll do.

That’s why zoos have to put up signs like these. We particularly love this one because it highlights the consequences of throwing things at the crocodiles. If someone is irresponsible enough to hurt these poor animals, it’s only fair that they are made to undo the damage.

Feeding the ducks is often prohibited at many zoos and parks. However, this sign is deeply troubling as it points to something far more nefarious. We’re not sure if it’s a grave language error or does the management really mean that?

Perhaps the message was to not harass the ducks but the poor word choice has surely stopped us in our tracks. We’re sure everyone who saw this had to look twice. We just hope the ducks are safe and sound!

Once again zoos have to compensate for the stupidity of visitors by putting up a sarcastic but cautionary sign. This time people are being told to beware of bears. While it’s common sense that leaning over the cage of a giant bear is a recipe for disaster, people love putting their lives in jeopardy anyway.

This zoo’s management has made it clear that there’s no need to feed their bears more protein in the form of human sacrifice. The bear on the sign looks pretty angry and hungry at the same time. Hopefully, these formidable words will keep all the daredevils out of the bear cages.

If you’re not aware of how hippopotamuses work, we have a slightly disgusting fact for you. Hippos have a bad habit of spreading their feces all over the place while defecating. They do this by spinning their tails really fast in order to cover the maximum surface area.

That’s why this zoo has warned all visitors that the hippo cage is a splatter zone. If you’re standing behind them when they’re doing the deed, prepare to be smacked in the face by hippo feces. While the sign doesn’t explain all this in great detail, the imagery should be enough to keep people away.

We visit the zoo to take a glimpse of how animals live and function. As a human being, it’s difficult to relate to a different species. That’s why we often forget that we too are animals and on a primal level, we aren’t all that different from them.

This zoo set out to remind all visitors that we’re primates too and a part of the animal kingdom. This is a much-needed reminder for humans who think they’re superior to other species. If we all reconnect with our roots, we will surely realize the importance of treating animals with respect.

Tigers, even domesticated ones that live in the zoo, are a huge threat to humans. It seems that some people forget this simple fact when they’re at the zoo. That’s why this zoo had to remind visitors that they’re nothing but a huge, juicy piece of steak for the tigers.

We love the creativity the went into this sign and the visual representation of a walking, talking steak will surely force people to look again. It’s better to just admire these majestic beasts from afar instead of challenging nature and risking your life.

It’s hard to tell what this sign is actually depicting but we can assume that there’s some kind of slope that leads to the crocodile pond. It seems like a bad idea to create a slope near a pond of deadly crocodiles.

According to the sign, this area is especially dangerous if you’re in a wheelchair. The wheelchair could easily slip and land the person in a lot of trouble. We hope they don’t speak from experience because that sounds like a terrifying situation.

Are you a fan of beautiful jellyfish? Are you mesmerized by their blinding beauty? Well, this sign might shatter some of that perfect image. This fun fact at the aquarium reveals that jellyfish actually defecate through their mouths.

To be honest, that doesn’t really take away from their beauty. The laws of the land are different and jellyfish don’t have to comply with them. Still, this titbit will surely stay with everyone who sees it, especially the super curious kids who love gross facts!

You know those little off-color jokes people manage to sneak into children’s entertainment that only adults can understand? This sign feels a bit like that. We suppose there’s no harm in targeting all ages of audiences.

The children will be excited to go check out the crabs they have downstairs and the adults can share a much-needed laugh about it. We have to give it to them, the double entendre is quite genius. Thanks for the laugh, Aquatic Design Centre!

It seems like people who work with animals have a great sense of humor because this sign is hilarious. We’re not sure who’s out there drinking water from fish aquariums but this sign will surely serve as a warning.

You have to be really desperate to resort to drinking water that fish are swimming around in. Apart from the potential health hazards, the sign warns that fish defecate in that water. Unless you’re into that kind of thing, we’d suggest you stick to normal drinking water.

It can be tempting to feed the animals at the zoo because they’re just so adorable. Whether it’s the long-necked giraffe or the excited monkeys, they all seem a bit too eager for some snacks. However, wise ones know that feeding things to animals can result in unfortunate circumstances.

If you want to leave the zoo with all your body parts intact, it’s better to look at the animals from afar. Attempts to sneak your hands into the cages might result in the loss of a finger or two. Trust the zoo management, they feed the animals quite well!

Apparently, this area is notorious for some serious monkey attacks. While monkeys may look like fun and games from afar, they can do real damage. Their sharp claws and lightning-fast jumping speeds will have you running for your life.

This zoo seems to be warning everyone to stay far away from these monkeys who love vandalizing cars. Who knew monkeys were into scratching up vehicles? We’d like to imagine a gang of monkeys stealing a car which results in a high-speed police chase. It’s right out of a movie!

At a glance, this sign looks like something out of a scary kids novel. The red indicates that this is something to beware of but we’re not entirely sure what it is. Perhaps they could have created a better rendition of the seemingly scary animal that lives in this cage.

Is it a bat? It is a hippo? No one knows. Perhaps it’s a newly discovered species that zoologists have yet to name. All we know is that we’ll be staying far, far away from this mysterious cage.

It seems like this very emphatic sign is lost in translation because we’re really confused about what to do here. Are we allowed to give food to the monkeys or not? Is the sign instructing us to feed the monkeys? There are too many questions and not enough answers.

Good thing that the text is written in the native language as well. We hope the instructions are clearer in that language! The tourists, on the other hand, will have to figure this one out on their own. If anything, this sign has really made us believe in the power of grammar and punctuation.

When people visit the zoo, they expect some form of entertainment or reaction from the animals. This is a highly insensitive motive that leads to behavior like tapping on the cages and throwing things at animals.

This zoo had to remind people that just because gorillas are tapping on the glass doesn’t mean they can too. Remember, you are visiting the homes of these animals. How would you like it if someone started banging on your windows without a care in the world?

Cranes are elegant long-legged and long-necked birds that look quite formidable at a glance. Their beaks are also pretty sharp and can do a lot of harm if they wish to. That’s why this zoo has a special sign for this particularly aggressive crane.

Just like humans, animals also have personalities which means they have their own likes and dislikes. Clearly, this bird likes its personal space and can get quite aggressive when disturbed. Next time you visit the aviary, make sure to be respectful of all the birds, especially the cranes!

The zoo allows you to connect with different kinds of animals and see how they live their lives. Sometimes, people can get lost in the fantasy and forget that these are real wild animals that can rip you to shreds. This sign is a not so gentle reminder for such people.

For anyone who was thinking of peeking over the cages and enclosures, the sign makes it clear that they’re not on the menu. It’s better to just stay respectful and watch from beyond the cages. Who knows what would happen if someone fell inside the cage?

We’re not sure if this is a zoo or a wildlife safari but it seems like some dangerous animals are on the loose out there. Perhaps this sign is in a park reserve where people go hiking and camping. Unfortunately, that doesn’t make it any more comforting.

If you’re visiting an area like this it’s better to beware of these threats beforehand. Make sure to look it up carefully so you can plan accordingly. You don’t want to encounter a wild deer or worst of all, some poisonous snakes on your excursion.

This hilarious sign will definitely catch everyone’s attention as it seems to be implying that they have some hot tortoises there. What this absurd sign actually means is that the tortoise shells may get hot due to sun exposure.

We’re really not sure why this sign was necessary though. Are people allowed to pick up or touch tortoises at this zoo? Whatever may be the case, this is quite a good endorsement for our tortoise friends. We’re sure this sign would make them blush!
