12 Vandals Who Went Above And Beyond For A LOL

One of the most enduring aspects of urban life is the familiar sight of graffiti. Whether it’s on the wall of a building or the side of a train, it’s not hard to see some mysterious painter’s handiwork if you go looking for it.

It’s no secret that city officials often see this stuff as a nuisance. Some planners even design certain benches and other features to be “graffiti-proof” and on one hand, I can understand why. After all, a nice clean park would look a junkier if someone scribbled something offensive all over it.

That said, some of the murals I’ve seen grace my city’s walls and trains would be right at home in an art gallery. And if these dedicated folks are giving some drab trains and blank walls a little more color and character, where’s the harm in that?

But sometimes, a bit of graffiti doesn’t have to make a grand artistic statement to be worthwhile. Sometimes, a vandal just needs to tickle our funny bones and give us something to smile at whenever we walk by.

And so let’s have a chuckle at these rascally vandals who used cleverness as their guiding star.

COMMENT and tell us about the fun bits of graffiti you’ve come across in your travels.

1. I’ll never look at these trash cans the same way again.

If there was ever a reason to sacrifice a good cookie, this was it.

2. This is pretty awesome when you get them together like this.

Unfortunately, when the train’s away you’ll just have a bunch of people standing around thinking, “Support my what?” 

3. When the zombies come, there won’t be any need for stop signs.

Also, bonus points for having the zombie do the dance from the “Thriller” video.

4. And just like that, we have a new headquarters for the Ghostbusters.

I wonder how many calls this place got once this went up.

As pop culture references go, one Russian vandal was a lot more ambitious.
