Humor has a funny way of showing up when you least expect it. One minute life feels heavy, and the next, something small makes you smile without warning. Sometimes that unexpected joy comes from a place you’d never think to look, like a church sign on the side of the road.
Across the U.S., there are churches that use witty, playful messages on their welcome boards, not just to invite people in, but simply to brighten a passerby’s day. Whether they make you laugh out loud or shake your head in amused disbelief, you have to admit the creativity is impressive. Here are some hilariously clever church signs that might make you smile.

Jealousy. The puritans (as one example) tried to ban almost everything fun because they had decided it was sinful for them and they didn't want anyone else to enjoy themselves when they could not.

So Close To Our Studio. They Always Have Such Memorable Quotes
LizzieBoredom 1 week ago
Help me to be as cool, aloof, and detached as the celebrity my cat thinks he is.
Signs are everywhere in our daily lives, from storefronts and billboards to notice boards and church lawns. Most of the time, we barely glance at them as we go about our routine. But every now and then, a sign makes us stop, smile, or even laugh out loud. That’s the magic of humor. It shows personality, warmth, and a sense of fun. Whether it’s meant to sell something or simply spread a message, humor makes people pay attention. And attention, in today’s fast-moving world, is everything.

If the Internet is to be believed, the poem was written by a schoolteacher who had a student who nursed an abandoned lamb which bonded with her and followed her to school. Also, fun fact, it was the first audio recorded by Thomas Edison on his newly invented phonograph in 1877.

A witty or clever line instantly grabs your eye in a way a plain message rarely does. Instead of skimming past, people pause for a second longer to read it again. That extra moment matters. It turns a sign from background noise into a small moment of connection. Even a simple joke can brighten someone’s commute or slow walk down the street.

Depends on the scientists and who they are connected to, they disagree regularly. Funding, among other things, have fingers on the scale......
Another big benefit of funny signs is how memorable they are. We tend to forget boring messages almost immediately, but humor sticks. If a sign makes you laugh, chances are you’ll remember where you saw it. You might even quote it later to a friend or family member. Laughter creates a mental bookmark. Long after the moment has passed, the message still lingers. That’s powerful, especially for places trying to leave a lasting impression.

You Got That Right

Jesus said it himself, "Not everyone who says Lord, Lord will get into heaven."
In today’s social media-driven world, humor also equals shareability. A clever sign can easily end up photographed and posted online within minutes. Suddenly, something meant for a small local audience reaches thousands, sometimes millions. People love sharing things that make them smile. A funny sign becomes free advertising without trying too hard. It travels far beyond its original location and keeps spreading joy along the way.

In our culture there is a saying: "Of the dead, say nothing but good". It was invented especially for those who were a**holes during their lifetime.
Humor also builds positive associations. When a sign makes you laugh, it creates a warm feeling tied to that place or message. You’re more likely to view it as friendly, welcoming, and approachable. That emotional connection matters more than we often realize. People naturally gravitate toward places that make them feel good. A smile today can turn into loyalty tomorrow. All because of one well-timed joke.

They knew. God was angry about what they did with their new-found knowledge from the tree of knowledge. They chose on their own to feel shameful even though they had no reason to. God asked after inquiring why they had covered themselves, "Who told you, you were naked?" Be naked and free people; it brings you closer to God. 😉

I know that place. A few years back, in the fall, they had a sign reading 'Come in and try our new pumpkin spice communion wafers! J/K - But we would love to see you!'
A humorous sign also helps stand out from the crowd. In a world full of repetitive messages and predictable slogans, humor feels refreshing. It signals creativity and confidence. Instead of blending in, it sets you apart. People notice when someone tries something different. A funny sign says, “We don’t take ourselves too seriously,” and that can be incredibly appealing. It adds character and charm that competitors might lack.

Of course, humorous signs aren’t just about marketing or business. They serve a bigger purpose too. They lighten moods, break tension, and offer small moments of relief on stressful days. A laugh, even a quiet one, can shift someone’s mindset. Humor reminds us not to take everything so heavily. Sometimes, a simple smile is exactly what someone needs at the right moment.

And it’s not limited to advertisements alone. Church signs, in particular, have mastered the art of gentle humor. They often mix faith, everyday life, and clever wordplay in ways that feel relatable. You don’t have to agree with every message to appreciate the creativity behind it. Many of these signs aim to welcome, not preach. So scroll through these and see which one made you smile the most. Sometimes, joy really does come in the simplest forms.
