Most people don’t give billboards a second glance. It’s like, we get it, there’s another Arby’s 50 miles away. If we really wanted stale roast beef sandwiches, we would’ve stopped at one of the million other Arby’s outlets we passed. Jeez. But once in a blue moon, you might encounter a billboard that’s worth taking a picture of. Here are 50+ examples of highly creative, incredibly funny billboards that got people’s attention.
Everyone’s Got a Bright Idea
The Economist placed motion sensors underneath their billboard of a lightbulb. Apparently, if someone (or something) enters the motion sensor’s detection range, it’ll cause the lightbulb to turn on, making it appear that someone (or something) has a brilliant idea.
The simplicity of this billboard really makes it… shine. We’re pretty sure this sign causes motorists to double-take, which they probably shouldn’t do while driving. We like how The Economist has so much confidence that everyone has a bright idea, when we know for a fact that that’s not true. Anyway, thank you, The Economist, for making it look like we’re all geniuses!
