Owning a business not only affects your bank account but it also affects your employee’s life plan. It’s a serious responsibility but there needs to be an air hole to take a step back and relax for everyone. One way that some companies use to lighten the mood is to throw humor.
These companies made a choice to take a light approach to their customers by putting a little humor into their working area. Here are some funny shenanigans that some companies have thought of it so hard. What do you like the best?
1) Donut Humor
At least this donut shop has a sense of humor while it is doing renovations. Seriously, don’t panic, they are just donuts. Chances are there is another 3 donut shops within 3 city blocks of this location.
2) Employee Abuse of Power
This employee was given the ability to put what he wanted on the bottom of the shop’s receipts. This was the first thing he came up with, which makes me realize why employees didn’t have this power in the first place and probably won’t again after his manager sees this.
3) This Sign
This barber shop has the best humor. Hey, at least you are getting your money’s worth if you are a hippy getting a haircut.
4) Table Tent Humor
Who would have thought that a restaurant would have gone through the trouble to do this? They would have been better off putting facts about the restaurant on there.
5) Kids Are Our Future
This store seems to think that kids are the future. Well, at least other people’s kids, not yours. No really, there are better kids out there.
6) Step Humor
At least this hardware store has a good sense of humor when it comes to extended families and divorce. So, if this is not the real ladder, then what is?
7) A Label for Everything
When the health inspector goes a little too far, this is what happens. When asked by the inspector what the bottle was for, the owner told her nothing, that it was empty. The health inspector insisted that everything had to be labeled, and that is how we ended up here.
8) Vegan Trophy
What do you get when you mix a vegan with meat lovers? Why, a vegan trophy mounted to the wall of course. This butcher shop has fired the latest shot in the war between meat and veggie lovers.
9) For Tobacco Use Only
Ha! No really kids, only use these items with tobacco. Better yet, kids stay away. Adults, only use these items with tobacco! *wink wink*
10) Bee Vomit
Do you want a little bee vomit with your coffee? Of course it is sweet as can be and doesn’t taste like vomit at all, but I didn’t tell you that.
11) Queen of Avocados
Don’t you just love the mixing of popular culture and everyday life? And here I thought that the perfect avocado didn’t exist. Now, bend the knee!
12) Highlander Humor
To use these swords you have to scream, “There can be only one!” Then, you have to fight for your life until either you or your opponent is dead, sans head. Sorry, them’s the rules!
13) Forms of Payment Accepted
Not only does this shop accept many major credit cards, it also accepts open mouth kisses and pigeon hats as forms of payment. The cave troll head, on the other hand, sounds like it might be too steep of a price to pay.
14) Arts and Crafts Humor
It would seem that someone has a sense of humor. What better use for art mannequins than to place them in weird poses? Of course, you could use them for their intended purpose, drawing.
15) Wine Goggles
What is a person to do when they run out of coffee? Why, drink wine of course. Unlike with coffee, the more wine you drink, the better everyone around you looks.
16) Mouse Trap
This computer repair shop has a great sense of humor. With all of that computer knowledge, I bet they could build a better mouse trap too.
17) WTF Is Sleep?
This coffee shop makes it easy for its customers to pick the coffee size just right for their needs. All the way from a small amount in a small to the extra-extra large WTF is sleep size.
18) Quote of the Day
This coffee shop likes to give its customers something to think about, and, I am sad to say, they aren’t too far from the truth with their timely quote.
19) Skateboard Fan
If you haven’t guessed by now, this shop owner is a skateboard fan. Or does it mean that the fan is made of skateboards? I am so confused.
20) You Have Been Warned
This retail store has the right idea about customers treating their staff right. Now, where exactly do you find competent robots and how much do they cost?
21) Innuendos
Here is a little innuendo by this Florida grocery store. Plus, you can chop it up and throw it in a salad afterwards. it’s a win-win situation.
22) Truth in Advertising
This pizza restaurant knows what it is talking about. Not only will they give you two pizzas, you’ll then have to pay for them both. What a deal!
23) Donut Love
This dog must really love his donuts. Or at least that is what this donut shop is implying by posting this photo to their social media. Even if he doesn’t, it is still funny.
24) False Advertising
This refrigerator has just a tiny bit of false advertising, like the fact that the fridge is infested with bats. Or, you could take the manufacturer’s word for it that it is not. It does have some other nice amenities, such as a door alarm, glass shelves, and deli drawer, all for $745.
25) Sorry, Not Sorry
So is this company sorry as in they are apologizing, or sorry as in they suck. Hey, either way the guy who makes better signs will be back later in the afternoon.
26) Tattoo Shop Marquee
This particular tattoo shop has its own marquee. It must be nice to be able to put up funny witticisms whenever you want; especially when they directly relate to the business you do and help draw in customers.
27) Not So Good
According to the sign, this shop can repair anything. All except bells, obviously they have an issue with those. I wonder if that refers to metal bells, electronic bells, or both.
28) No Clue What These Are
This sign on an item at a store in Austin, Texas is hilarious. While the store has no idea what they are or where they came from, they do claim that they make a funny noise and are good for killing 5 minutes. Even the post office doesn’t know where they come from!
29) Pizza Salad
This pizza place knows what it is all about. Screw salad, pizza forever, man! They even tell you how to make the best salad ever, without even using lettuce.
30) Employee of the Month
This funny employee made himself the permanent employee of the month on his last day of work at the location. I especially like the comment, “He’s the best thing to ever happen to this company!”
31) Nutritional Information
There is no point in asking about the ingredients in this ice cream shops products. It is definitely the best out there, and best of all, it is totally unhealthy for you, as ice cream should be.
32) Ice Cream Cone Display
I love this ice cream cone display. Such a yummy assortment. Let’s see, wafer, sugar, waffle, and for that extra fiber, pine.
33) In Case of Fire
This wrestling-themed taco shop is spot on with its signage. Though, I really think they should call 911 and report that fire before hoisting that belt.
34) Do Not Tap on Glass
Here is an ingenious sign. Not only does it get a laugh from the customers, but it also ensures that they keep their dirty fingers off of the clean glass.
35) Seasonal Item
Here is an item for the winter season, snowman noses! Great way to turn something mundane into something fun for the kids.
36) Kid’s Menu
This restaurants kid’s menu is spot on. It is almost like they have kids of their own. I especially like The I’d Rather Starve and The Eeeeeeew!!!
37) Silent Scream
Well, it’s true, at least where I come from. If it’s not a silent scream, it is at least a sign that you need to get more sleep. Yawning aside, coffee is awesome! And not just because it keeps me alive.
38) Toilet Brush Holder
This local Starbucks is all about branding, even in the restroom. Whoever thought of this clever idea definitely needs a raise.
39) A Dark Frame of Mind
This shop has some advice for its patrons, though I think a call to the police is in order. I don’t know whether they are trying to attract customers or run them off.
40) Grocery Store Cheese Counter
This store has the right idea, too bad they had such cheesy dialogue to work with. I’m sure cheese lovers appreciate the humor, but everyone else is left scratching their head.
