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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

OK, yeah this. How about I just turn it off when I'm ready Netflix? I don't need you to tell me how to watch TV.

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.

My brother was joking today that between Disney +, Netflix, Youtube, Prime, HULU, and HBO etc etc etc we are going backwards and the worst part is? You still can't find certain shows you wanna watch and stuff because of the rights.

Yes! The reason we got rid of cable was the high price. Now, shows we want are on multiple streaming channels. If we got all of them, it would equate buying cable.

Eventually every channel will have their own streaming service and we'll have to pay for each channel/service we want. DVRs killed commercials, and now everyone is cutting cable for streaming. They need to make money somehow. It only makes sense that they will follow the money. Cable will die, every channel will have an individual streaming service, and the price of internet service will skyrocket.

I actually think that having a ton of streaming services is a good thing. Just because it is there does not mean you HAVE to pay for it or use it. Pick your preference and change it up occasionally if you need to. But at least, you are in control of the content you see rather than what is broadcast outside of your control.

I haven’t got the point with streaming when I can see what I want when I want anyway...😳 But I blame that technology male function on my age.

I dunno Bandcamp has a streaming option to try before you buy, as it were. Not everyone wants to buy blind.

Right? So, if I want to watch the latest seasons of Netflix favorites like Father Brown, Shetland, or Death in Paradise, I have to sign up for BritBox. What a crock of s**t.

I remember a time I could find almost any movie at video rental store and cable provided me with all the show I wanted to watch.

If you don't like them, don't subscribe. I love when one person doesn't like something and they decide no one else should get to enjoy it. This guy is a douche.

I don't mind you going to a streaming service, but work with an EXISTING provider not just add your own. I may want to pay a little extra for your stream, and I may not. But lord knows I dont want to pay full price for two separate services.
