Outdoor media has always been an industry filled with creativity. We live in a world where most people witness thousands of advertisements every single day, so being different and cutting through the noise is crucial for anyone who wants to get their message across.\u00a0Humor is often an angle advertisers take to reach potential customers. Sometimes it’s intentional and other times it’s not. We’ve put together a list of our favorite funny billboard mistakes.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Senior Citizen Washing and Vacuuming Service<\/h3>\n

If this was an actual service someone was offering- we wouldn\u2019t be too surprised. The price seems about right as well.<\/p>\n

\"Outdoor<\/p>\n

Bye Used Cars<\/h2>\n

This one stands out so much that we almost want to believe that it was done intentionally. Think about it- you\u2019ve got a used car and you want to get rid of it, where do you go? Here I guess, because they\u2019ll make that car go bye?? Even if it\u2019s not a horrible misspelling, it\u2019s a terribly forced pun and we\u00a0aren’t\u00a0sure which one is worse.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bye<\/p>\n

Eccept the Challenge<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m hoping this was the result of \u201clet our students change the marquee\u201d day. If not then\u00a0this elementary school has probably\u00a0very few future spelling bee champions…<\/span><\/p>\n

\"6\"<\/p>\n

A Really\u00a0Bad Billboard<\/h2>\n

Not only is there major issues with the grammar and spelling of this billboard, but it’s hard to understand the purpose at all? From a poor clipart design, to the irony of it all, we just don’t really know what to think about this one…<\/p>\n

\"7\"<\/p>\n

A Mistake on Pupose<\/h2>\n

One has to wonder whether the banner on the bottom was added after the fact or whether this was done intentionally. We missed it the first time too…<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Funny<\/p>\n

Stealing Letters<\/h2>\n

Imagine needing to update a marquee with a new discount or offer, only to find out that you don\u2019t have the letters you need. Now imagine having that happen again and again.<\/p>\n

\"Funny<\/p>\n

S p a c e \u00a0O u t \u00a0F o n t s<\/h2>\n

Font spacing can be very important. This billboard looks a bit different from a distance…<\/p>\n

\"Funny<\/p>\n

Spelling Problems<\/h2>\n

This might not be the best school to go to…<\/p>\n

\"Funny<\/p>\n

Another Purposeful Mistake<\/h2>\n

Unless you’re bilingual in English and Chinese this playful billboard is\u00a0a good example of a mistake on purpose.<\/p>\n

\"Funny<\/p>\n

The Fast Food Marquee<\/h2>\n

While the branding of the signs themselves are always carefully managed by corporate and contracted out to professional design firms, the marquees that go under them are left to the local management. This results in such gems as this Wendy\u2019s marquee. Bonus points to the hiring request adding even further unintentional humor.<\/p>\n
