Whilst protests in America have erupted over the past few years, there’s one recurring character taking his own message to the streets. You might recognize Seth Phillips as the guy in sunglasses holding a cardboard sign and protesting random things, no matter how weird or strange they are. But the best thing is, we can relate to most of what this NYC protestor has to say.
So, if you’ve ever felt like your voice and opinion doesn’t matter in the vast world, then ‘Dude With Sign’ is here to prove you wrong. He calls out the annoying things that we wish we had the guts to tell others. Yes, there should be more chips and less air in bags! H-hey, first-world problems are still problems, o-okay?
We collected the very best of his funny protest signs, so scroll down and enjoy! Let us know which ones you agree with the most from this unsung hero. When you're ready, check out our second collection of Seth's brilliant signs as well.

Charging $15 For A Bowl Of Lettuce Should Be Illegal
There are some annoying things that I can relate to here and want to call out too. Nobody wants to watch a dozen video stories of you at a concert, seriously. And to the guy that keeps hitting 'reply all' on our company emails: you need to stop. You’re fighting the good fight, Seth — keep it up with your funny protest signs, this is how we make changes in the world.
While protesting random things does give us a good laugh, the role of humor in peaceful protest culture is no joke. According to one study, humor helps frame political protests, aids in creating a social movement’s collective identity, and is a powerful communication tool.

Put More Chips In The Bag

Look at the amount of ounces on the bag. That is what you're getting. The air is to protect you from getting a bag of crumbs.

Stop Standing Up When The Plane Lands

I'm 6ft6. I will stand up at the earliest possible moment (when the seatbelts light goes out) so I can unfold my legs. On longer flights, I even prefer to stand during the flight.

There Should Be Snow Days For Work
What’s more, humor energizes protests and brings protesters closer together through shared positive experiences. To put it simply, humor and funny signs are a weapon of the people and shouldn’t be taken lightly.
There are many innovative ways to support a cause that you care about. So, when you’re done looking through this list, check out Bored Panda’s previous articles about an Indian painter who highlighted awful roads by pretending to be an astronaut, as well as about a woman who showed her managers that wearing high heels as part of dress code is incredibly uncomfortable when you're working for 12 hours per day.

No More Streaming Service Pls
Rabbit Carrot 6 years ago
Yes! Too many now. Netflix was created because there were too many channels fighting for space, it filled a need. Now practically every channel has a streaming service and we’re back to square 1.

I have tried to get into Seinfeld, and never been able to. Friends isn't the funniest, but it's nice for some feel-good chuckles.
Elaine Dodge 6 years ago
Hell no! Friends FOREVER! Seinfeld was just shouting at each other, even when they didn't have to. And don't even get me started on Everybody Likes Raymond! Because you know what? Not everybody did. In fact, some people LOATHED Raymond.
Laine Light 6 years ago
Friends might have been a microscopic fraction as funny as Seinfeld if they'd gotten rid of Ross, Monica and (Jennifer Aniston's character), they were just unfunny dead weight.

I own all ten boxsets of Friends. I couldnt even connect with one episode of Seinfeld. I think its down to personal preference.

Seinfeld was pretty good for a sitcom, but ruined by its laughtrack.

Nope. Seinfeld is unfunny garbage. Friends isn’t much better but Seinfeld is way over rated.
Molly Kennington 6 years ago
Friends never interested me. Characters weren’t interesting. Other hand, Seinfeld was only show I watched in 10 years. Then came Curb Your ... : )
Christina Collins 6 years ago
Wrong! The actors are way better! The only good actor on Seinfeld is Jason Alexander. I've never been moved to tears by Seinfeld, either laughing or crying.
Laine Light 6 years ago
Jerry is allergic to sentimentality, so no you wouldn't be emotionally moved by his show.

They are both good so different that their's no need to compare. However, I think "How I Met You Mother" is better than "Friends". Discuss!

Agreed. Neither show has held up over time, either.

If we want to talk about the quality of the humour, Stargate is superior to both Friends and Seinfeld. Combined.

Just wondering any "Friends" fan punched the guts out of him or not... Although the sign is quite agreeable.
Beans 6 years ago (edited)
That's the point though, that's the entire premise of the last episode (they get sued for being awful) they're supposed to be whiny/annoying/terrible. It's what makes it funny, cuz everyone knows one person like the people in Seinfeld. I have no friends like people in 'friends'.

Nice job, good original illustration on modern day life. His facial expression is also typical. Slightly amused but it does not show, boarderline angry or paranoid with good reason... all in all we all tend to lose the smile or any emotion in our faces cuz we let ourselves be bombarded with so many facts and s**t. Like this post, he nails some stuff. And now he should throw his phone away and go into nature for a month, make love to a nice person and meditate.
