Anti-jokes have been around since comedy existed, with stand-up comedians Andy Kaufman and Norm McDonald two of the genre’s biggest anti-joke comedians. Both were hilarious comics who thrived on irony, anti-climax, and the violation of expected comedic patterns. They would tell gags that began as a typical joke but offered a surprising twist that was far from humorous. Instead of a witty punchline, you got a mundane or non-sensical response absent of humor.

What makes anti-jokes work is the absurdity of the gags due to the absence of traditional comedy structures. The strange nature of these jokes and the anti-climatic payoff are sometimes so disjointed you can’t help but laugh. These jokes push the boundaries of what we find funny and challenge our cognitive processes, inviting us to re-evaluate our understanding of humor.

Anti-jokes often employ dark or taboo subject matter, adding an additional layer of complexity and surprise. This blend of unexpectedness and societal discomfort can elicit a reaction that lies somewhere between confusion, shock, and amusement. Anti-jokes allow us to explore the boundaries of what is socially acceptable in humor, often leading to introspection and reflection on our own biases and sensitivities.

To help you understand what these jokes are all about, with collected some of the most ridiculous anti-jokes for you to enjoy below. They won’t be for everyone, but those with a dark or absurd sense of humor will probably get a kick out of some of these gags.

Funny billboards are like a breath of fresh air in the world of advertising, injecting a touch of levity into our often monotonous routines. Whether they make us chuckle, giggle, or burst into uncontrollable laughter, these billboards have the power to brighten our day and leave a lasting impression.

Picture this: you’re stuck in traffic, feeling the stress of the day weighing on your shoulders, and suddenly, your eyes fall upon a billboard that reads, “I used to be a baker, but I couldn’t make enough dough. Now, I’m a banker!” The clever play on words instantly brings a smile to your face, momentarily distracting you from the frustrations of the road. In that moment, the billboard becomes more than just an advertisement; it becomes a source of joy and entertainment.

Funny billboards often rely on clever wordplay, witty puns, or unexpected juxtapositions to deliver their punchlines. They tap into our sense of humor and offer a refreshing break from the mundane. From tongue-in-cheek messages like “Don’t drink and park – accidents cause people” to hilarious visual gags that make you do a double-take, these billboards prove that advertising doesn’t have to be serious to be effective.

Moreover, funny billboards have a way of transcending cultural and language barriers. Laughter is a universal language, and a well-executed joke can connect with people from different backgrounds and perspectives. It creates a shared moment of lightheartedness and camaraderie among strangers, fostering a sense of community in the midst of the urban jungle.

In a world where we are bombarded with ads at every turn, funny billboards provide a much-needed respite. They inject humor into the mundane and leave an indelible mark on our memory. So, the next time you find yourself grumbling about the daily commute, keep an eye out for those witty billboards that remind us that laughter truly is the best advertisement.

24 Funny Billboards That Will Get You Laughing

B Media Group

1. No Toilet Paper

B Media Group

This is great marketing from Imodium. It’s a simple billboard with an empty toilet roll, which is one of the worst things you can run into, especially if you’re suffering from diarrhea. That’s where Imodium comes in handy. 

2. 3M Holds

3M

Demonstrating how great 3M tape is, this billboard is being held together by the popular brand’s electrical tape. 

3. Jesus Can Save You

Runt

The above image features two very different billboard ads that make for some funny content. The top billboard is advertising a gentleman’s club known as Racers and features an alluring woman. Underneath is a billboard from Dallasburg Baptist Church asking passersby what their eyes are fixed on and that Jesus can help with their vision. These make for some very funny signs.

4. Sex Sells

Dashtwo

Subway went an interesting route by using sex to let people know about its foot-long subs. While the main portion of the billboard reads “Sex,” look below and it’s actually about the famous sandwich shop. 

5. When Customer Service Takes Priority

Tottenheimer/Reddit

This neat billboard by machine parts company TVH does a great job of getting the message across that customer service is the brand’s number priority while also being funny. 

6. Nut Milk Is Not Milk

gentleman_bronco/Reddit

In case you weren’t aware, this billboard offers some sound advice for consumers. 

7. Legal Weed

bostontrees/Reddit

This funny billboard does two things. One, it lets you know in 60 miles weed is legal so you can spark one up, and two, it also advertisers tech company Weedmaps, which shares the location of weed dispensaries as well as allows lovers of the green to connect and share information about their experiences shopping with different brands. This is a great example of clever marketing from Weedmaps. 

8. Hot Sauce

Adeevee

Capscico hot sauce is so powerful it’s burning a hole in the billboard. Imagine what it will do to your stomach! 

9. Dracula

BBC Creative

Ok, so this billboard might be more scary than funny, but we had to include it due to how clever it is. Advertising the BBC show Dracula, the billboard doesn’t really make much sense during the day, with one half covered in wooden stakes and a large gap between that and the words promoting the show.

But that all changes at night when the shadows from the stakes form the image of Dracula with his fangs out. The addition of the stake in a glass cabinet that reads, “In case of vampires break glass,” only adds to the genius of this billboard. 

10. Florida Citrus Center

DelgoOnDVD/Reddit

This billboard is advertising a local Florida attraction and offers up a lot of interesting information. As the billboard reveals, The Florida Citrus Center not only sells oranges but also pecan and peanut brittle, has free juice up for grabs, and live baby gators running about. The perfect holiday stop. 

11. Storming Area 51?

Patrick324/Reddit

A few years back there was a big hoopla about a Facebook group that was proposing people storm Area 51 so they could get the truth about what is going on there. Only around 150 UFO enthusiasts showed up, and while things didn’t exactly turn out like people might have hoped, it did make for some interesting reading. 

This hilarious billboard is aimed at those who might have gotten hurt while attempting to break into the secure US military facility. Maloney and Lyons Attorneys at Law were ready to help and would return your call personally. A clever and funny way of cashing in on a social media event that went global. 

12. Unfortunate Positioning 

RedditRocks2021/Reddit

Separately, these billboards are advertising two different movies, but when put next to each other they make for a funny sign that appears to show Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne character threatening to kill Scrat from Ice Age. Sometimes it’s the placement of billboards that makes them funny. 

13. Hot Wheels

Daniel Andrés Mora Lugo/Behance

The problem with this billboard is that it’s sure to distract some people driving past who might think the bridge is actually a loop. That aside, it’s a funny way to advertise Hot Wheels. 

14. Two For One

Jonnyspringfield/Reddit

Here’s something you don’t see that often; two companies working together to display their wares on billboards. The first billboard is for Nixa hardware and shows a chainsaw cutting down a tree. The tree happens to fall on a crashed car on the billboard below, which is advertising French-Davis Collision, an auto-wreckers. Brilliant. 

15. What Did You Just Say?

B Media Group

This billboard gets your attention by the phrase, “Your wife is hot,” and while she no doubt is, the message is actually in reference to the temperature and her being uncomfortable in the heat. Underneath are the words “better get your AC fixed” and the details for Kalins Indoor Comfort, a business that sells air conditioners. 

16. Nose Hairs 

Saatchi & Saatchi

Panasonic did a great job advertising their nose trimmers with this funny billboard that uses the telephone and electric wires from the street as nose hairs to show what you might look like if you don’t keep that area of your face nice and tidy. Great marketing. 

17. Giant Dicks

Runt

This is another example of what can happen when two completely different billboards are put side by side. You can’t help but laugh at this one. 

18. Pork Lovers

Runt

This one is for all the pork lovers. A great play on words sure to give you a giggle. 

19. Alcohol or Therapy

Runt

We don’t condone this billboard but it’s hard to not laugh. Not only is the phrase, “Alcohol: It’s cheaper than therapy,” funny, but the images of the two men used only adds to the hilarity of this liquor store advert. 

20. Phuket

B Media Group

Air Asia loves a good pun as this billboard demonstrates. This is a great way to advertise a trip to Phuket using a naughty pun that is sure to get any passerby’s attention. 

21. Someone Needs the Gym

Dash Two

Siberman’s Fitness went for something eye-catching with their billboard. While an image of an overweight man might not be that exciting, the fact that the billboard is on an angle, suggesting his weight is causing the billboard to be on a slant, is both funny and smart marketing. 

22. Don’t Drive Like a Wanker

Runt

The message is clear but the way it is displayed will give you a good chuckle. This a fantastic way to promote safe driving on country roads.

23. Ring Finger 

B Media Group

At first look, it might seem like this billboard is giving you the finger, but it’s just a woman waiting for her other half to put a ring on it. This is a funny billboard from Robbins Diamonds, encouraging partners to buy a ring and get down on one knee sooner rather than later. 

24. Employ Adam

Runt

This poor guy was struggling to find a job so he took out a billboard ad to see if anyone would hire him. He spent his last £500 ($625) on the billboard that contained the address of his website, employadam.com. The website included his information, resume, work history, and a video explaining why he went about things this way. 

The good news is this out-of-the-box way of scoring a job worked, with Adam employed by a production company called KEO. He then used his first paycheck to commission a second billboard thanking everyone who reached out and supported him. Top lad. 

Although he has passed on, there are still some comedians who have carried on the one-liner tradition, such as UK comedians Jimmy Carr, Milton Jones, and Tim Vine. Sadly the one-liner isn’t as popular in the United States anymore, so we thought it was about time to bring it back with this collection of humorous one-liners. 

What you will find below are nuggets of wit and silliness with the power to crack smiles, induce guffaws, and turn a dull moment into a memorable one. It’s amazing how with just a few well-chosen words you can have your friends and family doubling over in laughter. Whether it’s a classic one-liner from a comedy great or a modern zinger, these one-liners are sure to pack a punch.  So, get ready to laugh as we dive into the world of funny one-liners.

Also known as mondegreens (defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary as “a word or phrase that results from a mishearing, especially of something recited or sung”), misheard song lyrics are more common than you think, as it’s very easy for the human brain to mistake words and phrases.

For example, one of the most common mistakes revolves around Starship’s hit “We Built This City.” For some reason, people hear “We built this city on sausage rolls” when the actual words are “We built this city on rock and roll.” Another good one is Elton John’s 1971 classic “Tiny Dancer.” People often confuse the chorus, “Hold me closer, tiny dancer,” with “Hold me closer, Tony Danza.”

So why do we misunderstand lyrics? Well, according to science, it has to do with the way we interpret music. If we can’t quite grasp what the lyrics being sung are, our brain goes with what it thinks it hears, often offering up confusing and non-sensical suggestions, such as the examples above. Getting lyrics wrong can be embarrassing, but it also makes for some hilarious substitutions that can make the song much funnier than it’s meant to be. 

To show you just how weird and wonderful misunderstood lyrics can be, we have gone down the music rabbit hole and found some of the most hilarious misunderstood lyrics for you to enjoy below.

2. 95% of Millennials Are Not Saving for Retirement

The National Institute on Retirement Security defines millennials as people born between 1981 and 1991. According to the NIRS, millennials are doing a terrible job planning for the future.

4. Two Out of Five Americans Can’t Name a Freedom Protected by the First Amendment

Americans often discuss their First Amendment rights, which are freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and the right to petition the government. It’s one of the backbones of the country’s democracy that people are always ready to pull out when they feel their liberty is being threatened. The surprising thing is only two out of five Americans can actually name any of the freedoms the First Amendment protects.

In 2018, the Freedom Forum Institute conducted the State of the First Amendment Survey, discovering that 40% of participants couldn’t name any of the freedoms. Out of 1,009 adults surveyed, only one person named each freedom correctly, while 3% could name four of the five. 

5. Americans Eat 4.2 Billion Avocados Yearly

8. One in Seven Americans Receive Food From a Food Bank

According to Feeding America, 46 million people received food from food banks in 2014. That’s roughly one in seven Americans. Those statistics include 12 million children and 7 million seniors turning to their local food banks for help. After the pandemic, Feeding America updated those numbers to 53 million Americans receiving food from food banks, which is a worrying statistic.  

9. Americans Consume Roughly 26.5 Gallons of Beer and Cider Yearly

According to the data, adults 21 and over drink about ten ounces daily, equaling one six-pack, weekly. 

10. 2% of Shoes Sold in the United States Are Made in America

12. Americans Spend Roughly $1,000 on Clothes Each Year

Everyone strives to look their best, but some people will do it no matter the cost. The American Apparel & Footwear Association examined how much Americans spend on clothes yearly. They discovered that Americans spend around $971.87, which sounds like a lot of money, but when you consider the cost of designer labels, it’s not that much. 

13. 9% of Americans Say Baseball Is Their Favorite Sport

There was a time in America when baseball was the most beloved sport in the country. Well, that time has come and gone. Despite being called “America’s pastime,” only 9% of Americans consider baseball their favorite sport based on a 2018 Gallup poll.

Before turning pro, high school athletes first go into the NCAA. However, only 6% of high school athletes make it to the NCAA. It only gets tougher from that point.

15. 12,000 Annual Injuries Are Related To TVs Falling in America

Since the 1950s, TV sets have evolved from tiny black-and-white boxes to flat-screen 4k TVs mounted on walls. As all sci-fi movies warn us, technology will one day become aware and fight back. Well, it looks as though that has already started, with Americans across the country suffering injuries yearly due to falling TVs.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission released data revealing that 11,800 Americans suffer injuries yearly from a falling TV That’s only accounting for the individuals that require medical attention. The CPSC website has a section that deals with falling TV, furniture, and other decor.

Dedicated on October 28, 1886, the Statue of Liberty is one of New York’s most famous landmarks. Including the pedestal, Lady Liberty stands 303 feet tall. The statue’s head is 10 feet from ear to ear.

While that might seem impressive, a Texas longhorn, Poncho Via, from Alabama, has the statue beat. The famous steer’s horns have a slight advantage over Lady Liberty as they measure an impressive 10 feet and 7.4 inches.

17. Michael and Mary Are the Most Popular Names

Everyone wants to give their daughter or son a unique name that nobody else in the world has. That’s been made increasingly difficult by celebrities naming their kid’s things like Apple Martin, Blue Ivy, and North West.

According to the Social Security Administration, “Michael” has been the most popular boy name 44 times over the last century. In terms of girls’ names, “Mary” has been the most popular 37 times in the previous 100 years. This goes to show a good old fashioned name is just as relevant today as some weird hybrid name. 

18. Americans Spend Close To $72 Million on Their Pets Annually

Many dogs and cats in America live better lives than most people around the globe. That’s because Americans pamper and spoil their pets. For example, Paris Hilton’s dogs live in a two-story million-dollar dog mansion.

Like many dogs, they go to dog spas and eat the highest quality dog food. Most owners tend to treat their pets like kings and queens. The American Pet Products Association estimated that Americans spent roughly $72.56 billion on their pets in 2018. They ensure their pets live the best life possible.

1. Insult: “Let’s meet as little as we can.” – As You Like It (Act 3, Scene 2)

Translation: In other words, I don’t ever want to see you again. Please stay out of my life. 

2. Insult: “Beetle-headed flap-ear’d knave.” – The Taming of the Shrew (Act 4, Scene 1)

Translation: You’ve got big ears and you’re a dummy. 

3. Insult: “A most notable coward, an infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise-breaker, the owner of no one good quality.” – All’s Well That Ends Well (Act 3, Scene 6)

Translation: You’re a coward and a liar.

4. Insult: “I am sick when I do look on thee.” –  A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Act 2, Scene 1)

Translation: You make me physically sick.

5. Insult: “Away thou rag, thou quantity, thou remnant.” – Taming of the Shrew (Act 4, Scene 3)

Translation: You are a literal rag. Go in the bin. 

6. Insult: “You starveling, you eel-skin, you dried neat’s-tongue, you bull’s-pizzle, you stock-fish!” – Henry IV Part 1 (Act 2, Scene 4)

Translation: Falstaff is basically calling Prince Henry a skinny prick. 

7. Insult: “Out of my sight! Thou dost infect my eyes.” – Richard III (Act 1, Scene 2)

Translation: Just looking at you makes my eyes burn with pain. In other words, don’t look at me. 

8. Insult: “Away, you three-inch fool!” – The Taming of the Shrew (Act 4, Scene 1)

Translation: You are very small. It could also be used when talking about the size of a certain manly appendage. Nobody likes being called small down there. 

9. Insult: “What, you egg?” – Macbeth (Act 4, Scene 2)

Translation: Being called an egg might not seem that bad, but it means you are basic and boring, and nobody wants to be that. 

10. Insult: “You have a February face, so full of frost, of storm and cloudiness.” – Much Ado About Nothing (Act 5, Scene 4)

Translation: You have a mean-looking face and are ugly. 

11. Insult: “Canker-blossom!” – A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Act 3, Scene 2)

Translation: This insult has two meanings. The first is someone who destroys love, which isn’t ideal. The second is a venereal disease that manifests itself by covering your body in sores. We think the second translation is the worst. 

12. Insult: “I scorn you, scurvy companion. What, you poor, base, rascally, cheating, lack-linen mate! Away, you mouldy rogue, away.” –  Henry IV (Act 2, Scene 2)

Translation: You are despicable, poor, and a cheat. And a piece of mold. 

13. Insult: “A fusty nut with no kernel.” –  Troilus and Cressida (Act 2, Scene 1)

Translation: This is Shakespeare’s version of “You’re not the sharpest knife in the draw.” 

14. Insult: “Thou art a very ragged wart.” – Henry IV (Act 3, Scene 2)

Translation: Ever been called a wart before? It hurts. Another great Shakespeare insult. 

15. Insult: “Quintessence of dust.” –  Hamlet (Act 2, Scene 2)

Translation: You are nothing but dust. A fleeting moment in time nobody will remember. Take that! 

16. Insult: “How now, thou crusty batch of nature! What’s the news?” – Troilus and Cressida (Act 5, Scene 1)

Translation: Hey, how are things? You look disgusting by the way. 

17. Insult: “Come, come, you froward and unable worms!” – The Taming Of The Shrew (Act 5, Scene 2)

Translation: Another obvious insult: you are a slimy worm.

18. Insult: “Go, prick thy face, and over-red thy fear, Thou lily-livered boy.” – Macbeth (Act 5, Scene 3)

Translation: This means to prick your face so you get some color. The perfect insult for your fair-skinned friends who don’t like the sun. 

19. Insult: “O Gull! O Dolt! As ignorant as dirt!” – Othello (Act 5, Scene 2)

Translation: You are nothing more than a piece of dirt. Take that! 

20. Insult: “Thou cream-faced loon.” – Macbeth (Act 5, Scene 3)

Translation: You are a scardey cat. 

21. Insult: “His wit’s as thick as a Tewkesbury mustard.” – Henry IV Part 2 (Act 2, Scene 4)

Translation: You are as thick as two bricks. 

22. Insult: “Elvish-mark’d abortive, rooting hog.” – Richard III (Act 1, Scene 3)

Translation: To have the appearance of an evil elf mixed with a pig. 

23. Insult: “Why, thou clay-brained guts, thou knotty-pated fool, thou whoreson, obscene, greasy tallow-catch.” – Henry IV, Part 1 (Act 2, Scene 4)

Translation: This is a flowery way to call someone a son of a whore. It also references being thick as shit and not a very nice person to look at. Some great English literature here. 

24. Insult: “I am pigeon-liver’d and lack gall.” – Hamlet (Act 2, Scene 2) 

Translation: A nice way of saying someone is a coward. 

25. Insult: “I’ll beat thee, but I would infect my hands.” – Timon of Athens (Act 4, Scene 3)

Translation: I would beat you up but I don’t want to get my hands infected. Harsh from the United Kingdom playwright. 

26. Insult: “You starveling, you elf skin, you dried neat’s tongue, you bull’s pizzle, you stockfish!” – Henry IV Part 1 (Act 2, Scene 4)

Translation: Henry really goes to town on Falstaff and calls him a bunch of animal-related insults. He says he has the skin of an elf, which doesn’t seem too bad, but then also mentions he looks like a dried ox tongue, a bull’s penis, and a codfish of all things. The bull’s penis insult hurts the most. 

27. Insult: “You rampallian! you fustilarian!” – Henry IV, Part 2 (Act 2, Scene 1)

Translation: The first part of this insult is the word “rampallian,” which is basically calling someone a scoundrel. Not too bad. The second part which contains the word “fustilarian,” is a little more server, as it means someone is slow and clumsy and generally implies they are fat. Shakespeare sure did have a way with words. 

28. Insult: “Villian, I have done thy mother.” – Titus Andronicus (Act 4, Scene 2)

Translation: Shakespeare wasn’t above the odd mom joke now and then. With this one, Aaron is telling Demetrius he fucked his mother. Take that!

29. Insult: “I do desire we may be better strangers.” – As You Like It (Act 3, Scene 2)

Translation: I would much prefer it if we were strangers and never met. 

30. Insult: “A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-liver’d, action-taking, whoreson, glass-gazing, superserviceable, finical rogue;1090 one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pander, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch; one whom I will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deny the least syllable of thy addition.” – King Lear (Act 2, Scene 2)

Translation: There is a lot to unpack here, but to sum it up, the Earl of Kent is telling Oswald he’s an absolute cock gobbler in no uncertain terms. 

31. Insult: “Lump of foul deformity.” – Richard III (Act 1, Scene 2)

Translation: You are a deformed lump. Could also mean a piece of shit. 

32. Insult: “You peasant swain, you whoreson, malthorse drudge!” – The Taming of the Shrew (Act 4, Scene 1)

Translation: If you need to call someone poor, the son of a whore, and a lumbering idiot, this is the insult for you. 

33. Insult: “Methinks thou art a general offense and every man should beat thee.” – All’s Well That Ends Well (Act 2, Scene 3)

Translation: When someone offended you so much you think everyone should beat them up. 

34. Insult: “More of your conversation would infect my brain.” – Coriolanus (Act 2, Scene 1)

Translation: If I have to listen to you for much longer my brain is going to turn into mush. 

35. Insult: “Peace, ye fat guts!” – Henry IV Part 1 (Act 2, Scene 2)

Translation: You’re fat. Really fat. Peace. 

36. Insult: “His face is not worth sunburning.” – Henry V (Act 5, Scene 2)

Translation: When someone’s face is so ugly even getting sunburned wouldn’t improve them. 

37. Insult: “The tartness of his face sours ripe grapes.” – The Comedy of Errors (Act 5, Scene 4)

Translation: Another insult about a person’s looks. This one suggests their face makes grapes sour. Harsh, but funny. 

38. Insult: “This woman’s an easy glove, my lord, she goes off and on at pleasure.” – All’s Well That Ends Well (Act 5, Scene 3)

Translation: Looking for a new way to call someone a whore? This is it. 

39. Insult: “Thou art a boil, a plague sore.” – King Lear (Act 2, Scene 2)

Translation: Nobody likes being called a boil. 

40. Insult: “Thou art as fat as butter.” – Henry IV Part 1 (Act 2, Scene 4)

Translation: This one isn’t hard to work out. 

41. Insult: “Here is the babe, as loathsome as a toad.” – Titus Andronicus (Act 4, Scene 3)

Translation: Not all insults have to be hard to decipher. Calling someone a toad gets the message across about how you feel about them. 

42. Insult: “Thou damned and luxurious mountain goat.” – Henry V (Act 4, Scene 4)

Translation: Calling someone a mountain goat is a different type of insult but one that still makes you stop and think.
