20+ Hysterical Fast Food & Restaurant Signs That Probably Broke A Few Company Rules
Having fun on the job is a rarity for most people, so when given the chance to goof off a bit, many will take full advantage. Unfortunately for their bosses, and fortunately for us, these outbursts of silliness are often pretty public... and definitely not what the company had in mind. So next time you're out for a drive, keep both hands firmly on the wheel — otherwise, at the sight of one of these hilarious fast food and restaurant signs, you might laugh yourself right off the road!
1. Spice Sike
Taco Bell knows where to draw the line. All those basic girls out there will either have to indulge elsewhere or try a different kind of spice with the spicy tostada. Best of luck!
2. Being Honest
These earnest burger flippers clearly aren't going to beat around the bush when it comes to the kind of customers they're looking for. Consumers will be weighed at the door. If you don't make the cut, try eating again next year.
3. McCrap
This McDonald's has clearly had enough with clever advertising, though to keep with that true Mickey D's spirit, it probably should've read: "Try Our New McCrap." Hopefully that comes with a side of nuggies.
4. Work 4 A King
Burger King is not clowning around with their hiring process. We don't think you'll be treated quite like royalty here, but it beats being the bun of the joke.
5. A Side of Poetry
There's nothing like being treated to some poetry while stuffing your face. All you need are some fries decorated with ketchup-painted hearts and you'll have yourself a romance for the ages.
6. Important Announcement
Just in case people weren't aware, Wendy's has a new item on the menu. Unfortunately, it looks like the manager at this location hired his 5-year-old to make the announcement.
7. Taco Troll
Way to rub it in, Taco Bell! First you prank the pumpkin spice girls, now the taco lovers? How much more will it take until you're satisfied?
8. What A Deal!
We've tried "meat sand" before: it spilled all over the place and was such a mess. We wouldn't recommend. But $2 iced coffee? And any "sizid"? Now you're talking!
9. SpongeBob Sighting
If you plan on applying to this Burger King, you better know a thing or two about living in a pineapple under the sea. Maybe then you'll be let in on the Krabby Patty secret formula... maybe.
10. How Puzzling
This sign reads like a jumbled Wheel of Fortune puzzle, and we'd like to solve! "Ice. Bag. 8. Pounds. Nachos. With. Meat. All. 2. Liter. For. 2. Dollars."
11. Dangerous Welcome
We don't know what this DQ was thinking with this sign, but it's probably been attracting some weird people lately. If they don't leave right away, just toss the cake out the door, though that might excite them even more.
12. Fowl Hallucinations
The regulars at this Church's Chicken were totally unprepared when on their drive home the road suddenly transformed into a row of piano keys and all the other cars turned into ducks. Little did they know this particular franchise had just introduced a new ingredient into their chicken.
13. Dear Abby
It's probably not the best idea for your image to announce you're having trouble with staff, but hopefully the strategy works for them. We just hope Abby is worth all the ruckus.
14. Where Are They Now?
It's safe to say Eminem isn't the superstar he once was, but no one could've expected he'd one day wind up running ads for a small-town diner. If the real Slim Shady decides to stand up, let's just hope he doesn't spill his soup in the process.
15. Low Expectations
This McDonald's decided to be upfront about its expectations from its customers, and that's pretty admirable. After all, the "fast" in "fast food" doesn't only refer to how quick it is to get...
16. A Special Kind of Worker
Some companies only hire the best of the best, but this Wendy's felt that was too easy. Be hired here and they'll whip you into shape... or just pay you minimum wage with no benefits.
17. Existential Crisis
It's safe to say the last thing you want to deal with when out on a fast-food run is an existential crisis. Just remember: you are what you eat!
18. Tasteful Philosophy
This philosophy is spot-on, but whoever wrote it might've forgotten the "t" in "it." Either that, or this philosopher spends a good amount of time riding around in pizza boxes.
19. Poor Kitty
The people at Dunkin' Donuts better pray that PETA doesn't catch wind of this sign. That'll be one jelly-filled mess that definitely won't clean up easily!
20. Cheesy Romance
Desperation doesn't normally lead to a hot date, but this cheesy Romeo might have just caused a domino effect. If only he'd had enough room to leave his digits up there, too.
21. Liar Liar
Vodka may tell you a lot of things – you're attractive, you can sing, you can hurdle that chainlink fence with a running start – but the one thing you should never believe is that you can dance. And, no, "flossing" does not count.
22. Bye Bye CrossFit:
Technically, they're not wrong, but don't let any college kids catch wind of this; pretty soon, all-soup diets will be the hottest health craze across every campus in the country!
23. Don't Be Selfish
Call it a guilt trip, but this sign is spitting cold hard facts. Not only will you be dealing with a rumbly tummy all the way home if you don't eat here, but the cannibals that own the place won't be able to have you for dinner either. It's a lose-lose situation.
24. This One's A Given
If you had the choice between a nice cold brew and possibly crossing paths with a bear, you're absolutely going with option two. After all, you can buy beer anywhere — when else are you going to get the chance to befriend a nice cuddly bear?
25. Sounds Salty
Well, that escalated quickly. Bar soups usually aren't the best, so, hey, maybe the tears of their enemies will be a welcome change to the world of cheap pub grub. Let's just hope they serve the eyelashes on the side...
26. Sorry, Haters
As far as attempts to bring in customers go, this one is top notch. Who wouldn't want to prove that Yelp troll wrong by going in here anyway? And even if that guy turns out to be right, bad food always makes for one heck of a good story.
27. Paradox
This was clearly an attempt at humor, but look at it this way: by simply writing "something witty and thought-provoking," the author of this sign has created just that. Someone get this guy or gal a philosophy degree!
28. When You Put It That Way
How are you not going to drink here after reading this sign? Think of all those poor grapes, gone before their time. You owe it to them to down a few glasses of their sweet fermented blood in remembrance.
29. Meow That's a Deal
This bar thinks it's so clever, but little do they know that someone loaded the Meow Mix jingle into the karaoke machine. Looks like free meals for everyone!
30. Pay Attention
Math is hard, and that's because math is boring. Now, if we used math in relevant life situations – say, to figure out how many beers it takes to make poor life choices – then you can bet Algebra 2 would be everyone's favorite class.
31. Picky Eaters Anonymous
Admitting you have a problem is always the first step, so to those indecisive couples out there, feast your eyes on a nice big helping of the truth. Either you're in the mood for something, or you're not — it's not that difficult!
32. Take That, DiCaprio
Nothing does the ego good like one-upping a celebrity, and this bar knew just how to capitalize on that. Yeah, Leo may have an Oscar, but can he say he's ever had a lukewarm Corona at this pub?
33. Water For All
Finally, no more stigmatizing drinking out of strange bodies of water, no more overpriced Fiji bottles, or being asked, "sparkling or still?" If animals can drink from wherever they please, then we deserve the right to giardia all the same!
34. Unexpected Easter Egg
So that's what they're singing at the beginning of The Lion King. And come to think of it, Simba does kind of resemble a pepperoni slice. Wait... was this entire movie just one big pizza metaphor?
35. A Legendary Trio
Gold aside, the Three Wise Men of biblical fame weren't the best gift givers. Frankincense and myrrh? Did they think Jesus was going to be big into aromatherapy? At least if they'd brought him a few bottles of Jack he wouldn't have had to turn water into wine...
36. No, Thanks
Hey, picking two is better than just one, right? Granted, good service usually trumps everything else, but at the end of the day, most people would probably rather just go grab a cheap six-pack and drink it on their couch.
37. You Had Me at "Beer"
Honestly, the first three lines weren't even necessary — what better way to attract people to a bar than by shouting "beer!" at the top of your lungs? Anyone who could resist a pitch like that has incredible self control.
38. Transparency
Look, you've gotta respect this kind of blunt approach to marketing: after all, BOGO is a scam anyway. You're not really getting anything for free — you're paying half price on both!
39. Flashbacks
What a weird dynamic this pub must have. On one side, you've got all the happy people toasting their successes; on the other, everyone else is crying into their cheap cocktails. What is this, senior prom?
40. Good For You
Celebrating the little things is just as important as praising the big moments, so kudos to this bar for stroking the 'ol ego. But for those that need a little extra encouragement, they also have attendants in the bathrooms that applaud each time you use the toilet.
