I Make Super Awkward Flyers And Hang Them In The Streets, Here Are My Newest Ones (25 New Pics)
Hello, I am Bert Musketon and I am a visual artist based in Belgium. I love awkward stuff or situations, so I came up with the concept of Awkward Flyers. I try to communicate a random joke in one image. I put in a lot of time and effort, to be honest. Coming up with ideas, printing the flyer, going out, and pasting them on the streets. But, it's super fun!
A few months ago, I shared part 1 of this post. Here is the long-awaited part 2 of Awkward Flyer.

The really long sentence/title is what makes it funny lol. Also, they used correct punctuation, so what's the issue?

This is avoidable if you have a trustworthy antivirus program and tell the websites you have accounts with to "remember my password". Or write your passwords down and keep them somewhere safe (yes, a lot easier if you live alone, but still doable if you don't - say in a home safe that only you know the combination to). They make password "diaries". They are often titled "What the H.e.l.l. *with the censored word properly on the cover, though sometimes it is censored, I was just working within BP parameters* Is My Password?" because they know how frustrating it is to forget them.
I bought one off Amazon that is called s**t I can't remember. That thing has been a lifesaver and worth the money and it's cheap as hell too.
Load More Replies...Means: you are Typical error among the three (your, you're and yore)!
Load More Replies...I started this project back at home in Belgium during the COVID lockdown. Before that, I used to travel a lot. So logically due to travel restrictions, the project was also limited to my hometown. Once the world went kind of back to normal and travel started picking up again, I decided to book a trip to New York and give my project a bigger reach. New York makes so much sense for something like this. There are so many more people you can reach with the same amount of work.
I need this. I spend hours at a time holding a door for random strangers, and I can't let go.
Please, just let go. We don't need you to hold the door. Don't make it weird.
Load More Replies...its SO ANNOYING when ur holding the door for someone thats a few meters away but they just keep slowly walking- makes me wanna just slam the door in their face
I actually feel bad when I hold the door and see that I've made them rush! (At least when I'm not in too much of a hurry)
Load More Replies...I keep my phone handy then stop and stare at it when someone does this to me. I've been opening doors by myself for over 50 years now. I don't need your f*****g help!
I've told someone thank you go ahead because I just don't have enough energy in my reserve's reserve to jog to the door and give an awkward thanks..
Tapping your feet or moving your chair works too. :) One time my brother's girlfriend tried to silently crop dust him in a movie theater during a quiet part. Except instead of a silent fart she accidentally ripped one so loud that the entire audience heard her. My brother nearly died laughing.
For now, this is just a passion project. I don't make any money from this and I don't mind. In the future I see this project growing a bit bigger and I'd love to make some products with all those drawings I make for the project. One of my top ideas on my wishlist is a memory game in which people need to match up all these awkward drawings.
Happened yesterday. I told them "This way to your car, I'll open your door 🤪". No I did not open their door lol.
Please don't do this to women if you are a guy. We have enough problems with guys following us and making us uncomfortable/unsafe
Here 🥳🎉💲💲💲 happy birthday even if it's not, it even has money
Load More Replies...The man in the pic appears to me of East Asian heritage, and several of the language groups from that region write and read top to bottom, right to left so their bound printed material seems to open backward for Westerners. Many often mix well-known English words and phrases into their languages too, so having the Happy Birthday written in English isn't unrealistic either, though I think it was likely done here to make it legible internationally. I just hope it's not a dig at East Asians in particular, since the money thing is pretty cross-cultural, I think. "(Not that I'm East Asian.) [Not that there's anything wrong with that..]"😁
Load More Replies...I just love to draw. I've been focusing on digital artwork for the past few years with only a digital output. Awkward Flyer allows me to bring my work into the streets and get people to interact with it. That's what keeps me going.
I just bought a 6" cord for this exact reason lol
Load More Replies...Ten-foot-long phone charging cords are a thing, people! Also, check your phone batteries' overall performance and if it is not at a good percentage (say, lower than 60%) get the battery replaced. It was not that expensive. I replaced my iPhone 7 battery this past February and my phone doesn't drain as fast as it did before February when not plugged in. It only cost me $80 CAD, plus tax and was very worth it.
#Android here, do iphones have removable batteries? Also, idk about apple but my phone tells me which apps are sucking a lot of battery
Load More Replies...How to not lose your s**t when someone is right but not helpful
Load More Replies...I have a loft bed that's 6 feet off the floor, so I always end up using my Nintendo Switch charger to charge my phone, because it's just the right length.
Buys extra long cord on Amazon and plugs in phone. Phone won't charge because "not using compatible charging cord"
Or pick the locked door of the two doors where only one is unlocked... happens to me all the time
I respect your ability to pick locks!
Load More Replies...I just don't understand why the have a handle when it's meant to be pushed!!! It's so stupid and unnecessary!!!
Load More Replies...Every time I do this, I shake my head and mutter "Midvale School For the Gifted right here (in reference to the Far Side cartoon)"
Just had to say something since I saw your username! But your bio says you're a person.... Which is it? 🤔🧐
Load More Replies...To be fair, if a push-only door has a pull-style handle, no one should feel that bad about it.
For now, Awkward Flyer is just about passion and keeping it alive. Because it takes so much effort to come up with these flyers every single day and paste them around. In summer it's all fun, but winter is around the corner and that's going to make it at least 5% less fun to go outside, haha.
Is it just me or does this guy kind of look like Jon Lovitz? Or Dan Akroyd? Or Canadian comedian Brett Butt (yes, that is his real last name) of the show Corner Gas? I think I see Jon and Brett more than I see Dan
My wife has that iconic build up to a sneeze like the ol cartoons. People would watch her build it up. I'd so mess with her in public (yell OH GOD). Ahh I always forget that she dead legs me afterwards..
Easy. Push your tongue to the roof of your mouth and "close off" your throat with it
exactly. Like huh?? What are we supposed to call it?? Doo doo? i swear, BP thinks we're four years old
Load More Replies...Yes it would be terribly embarrassing if someone you do not know, cannot see and who cannot see you, should hear, that you are a real human.
I just keep going, I don't wanted to be in a public restroom with someone who is there for the fun of it any longer than necessary, and people who actually mean business won't care.
I'm upvoting you because I've done this. I usually just act disappointed and saw say "Aww, paper covers rock"
Load More Replies...Ahhh, the stick shift. Person with open hand grabs closed hand and acts like they are changing gears while making engine noises.
I once went to fist bump and the guy was walking away and I ended up punching him in the face
I’m the opposite: I reach for a handshake and the other person does a fist bump so I just grip their closed fist in a handshake. It’s caused some problems.
i really want to know who takes the strips of paper, are they dissapointed when they find out that its not a real thing?
Turn around nd wave at the actual receiver of said wave. Then fade away into nothing.
Wave and say, "Sorry I was in the way and caught this so I'm passing it along to you."
Load More Replies...But...what if you're someone with social anxiety? Why would you wave back at someone if you didn't know them? Unless it was fairly clear that they were indeed waving at you (as in you looked behind you to see if there was someone there). I don't think that it would be considered rude to not wave back in that context.
Is there a special deal for taking this workshop and the "How not to act disappointed when opening a birthday card and seeing there is no money inside the card" workshop together?
First you must be given a card. Last time I got my birthday card 3 months later. Just because no one wanted to deal with giving to me ,mail it,bring it to my house,etc. Yes my family.
Ok, pineapple good. Pizza good. But those who MUST HAVE pineapple on pizza...should be denied access to both...for life!
People should be allowed to eat what they like (with some caveats for immoral acts, of course)
Load More Replies...I'm picky AF so pineapple on pizza has bothered me since I was a child 🤣
I'd like a workshop to speak with whoever is tearing off those tabs like that. For god's sake! You're leaving half the text on the flyer! I mean, is it really worth is to walk away with a little slip of paper that says "@AWKWARDFL"? You just know your bf/gf is going to do laundry and find it in your pocket and suspect you of cheating on them. You'll have a whole fight for nothing.
Show them your newer, smarter friend who actually understands ponzi schemes
I can only relate to the part about talking to yourself in the mirror for no freaking reason.
Load More Replies...This is why, I quit drinking 7/14/07. Those freaking hang overs, and being broke the next day.
Cardio isn't lame it's just miserable, at least the first 10-15 minutes. I don't understand how anyone runs for fun.
Load More Replies...Invest in a Motorola fast charging charger! Phone can go from 3%, to 35% in 15 minutes. It runs around $30, but one can get a full charge in 30 minutes.
Could also be that you aren't using the right charge cube/adapter or cord. I have bought adapters and cords from a gas station convenience store (I was in a rush) and didn't find out until a few years after using it that it's better to use one that is certified for your device.
This is why iphone and Samsung suck, don't even have that big of batteries, and don't have actual quick charging, my phone has the biggest battery on the market, and charges to full in 45 minutes
Does the guy have misophonia? Because I know that feel, dude. It is very rarely a fun condition to have. Also, if that's cereal, where's the bowl?
Maybe he's already lost his sh*t and tossed the bowl out the window!
Load More Replies...I have misophonia, so I totally understand. I can't stand the sound of chewing.
Why doesn't she, really rude of her to lie on him eating
Load More Replies...I know right? Before the internet We just assigned arbitrary values to essentially worthless pieces of cotton paper with pictures of old white guys on them... totally different concept.
Load More Replies...Idiots everywhere. I am paying with intellibucks. These are bucks that only very smart people can see and touch
What is this one even talking about? Oh nevermind, I see the *ARROW* now, so I know it's all in reference to the NFT on the guy's phone screen that he's holding out for us to see, and not something completely different. I think they should have put more arrows so people don't have to hunt around so much.
crypto-bro. lol. I lost a little in crypto, sooo glad I didn't make any early gains and throw more money into it!
You can draw a singular line and sell it as an NFT if you wanted to. What an intelligent concept and in no way would allow anyone to go bankrupt.
Yeah, it's baffling how many people fell for nfts
Load More Replies...And me, except with my school computer 🤣 I was in Biology once, and we had to take a picture of the papers on the board so we could do an activity, and everyone was using their phones, but me not having a phone, I had to use my computer..... Needless to say, I was very embarrassed when I overheard the guy I sit next to talking to his friends and laughing because, "bro, she's using her chromebook to take the pictures" 🤣
Load More Replies...Just lie and say it's your actual phone. It's the next natural progression in phone sizes
I thought Reverse Cowgirl is where the cows ride horses and lasso people...
Omg where have I been?! I just Googled that not knowing. Now it's very funny.
Probably the only context where bored panda won't censor a something sexual.
C'mon don't give the advice away for free, make a workshop that people have to pay for!
Load More Replies...Start interviewing them about their opinion on absolutely anything and everything. It breaks the silence and you don't have to remember any of it in the long run. They usually won't remember their answers either, but will appreciate the attention and the lack of awkward silence.
"Do you know a douchebag or loser you want to brand or embarrras with a gifted shirt? Call me now!" Unbeknownst to them, of course.
Yes,they did. Like that isn't a actual human function. Whatever .
Load More Replies...I think I see what they're trying to say with this joke, but the logic is *severely* lacking. It implies that men leave the seat up on a toilet because they assume: the next person to use it will be a woman, that the woman won't use it to poo -that even if she wanted to poo, it would be impossible because she wouldn't be able to lower the seat for herself- and that if she isn't going to poo, there is absolutely no other reason why she would ever need to sit down on the toilet. And it further suggests that the solution to such a situation is to completely do away with the toilet altogether because it's absolutely unusable to a woman if the seat is up. (That'll show him??) I think it says more about the jokester portraying women as being so emotionally irrational.
I think you're reading way too much into a poop joke, man.
Load More Replies...These situations happen to everyone and everyone feels the same about them. When you realize this they are no big deal.
