Shosple Colupis! The best accidentally hilarious poorly designed signs

One of the first inklings I had that my mind doesn’t quite work right, or at least like everyone else’s, was when I believed from the time I was 10 years old that “Popeye’s” was pronounced “POPE-YES.” I went on uncorrected for more than a decade because I never said it out loud, I just thought in my brain, “why is this chicken place named after the Pope?”

Anyway, that accidental juxtaposition is the basis of some of the funniest comedy I have ever seen.

Here are some more pope-yes memes from a thread I found a few years back.

She be so she liev she could ed did!! Very inspiring.

Image

You had meat “hello”!

Image

CAR SPA PAN BGN ON A HET ETO RA TI NE! Sounds Latin.

This one is so nuts I can’t even come up with a reading at all:

Image

Ok let’s keep going:

Image

70,000 can’t be teeth, wrong!! I can’t help but agree.

I don’t know why these make me laugh so much, they just do. Ok, take a deep breath, here we go….

Image

Amazing. Also…

Image

Another one I can’t even try to decipher:

Image

This is simply amazing:

Image

Shosple Colupis!!!

I wonder how long they tried to come up with this one:

Image

“T” for effort I guess.

Image

We’re You’re Not Til… not Happy!!

Image

Oh no.

Image

Definitely… maybe.

Image

One of the greatest extremes from one meaning to the other. I love it for its bi polar nature.

Image

Well that’s awkward.

Image

Incredible.

Image

In Ex HA HA le le!!!

Image

Who injured the burgers?

Image

Image

How the hell is anyone supposed to read this?! LOL!

Image

Right, right.

Image

WHen then?!

Image

Why is there a YALP in there? Yo, work hard, LK, Yalp!

Image

This one barely makes it in, but I like it because it sounds like an insult.

Image

Got incepted by that one.

The COVID edition:

Image

Let’s not beat the children please.

This one comes with the comment, “don’t cross your legs!”

Image

Honk Jesus Honk!!

Image

 

Again, I have no clue what the hell this is:

Poorly designed graphic design sign that says “pop up create rent me” but it looks like it says “Ucrere Poppatent me”

And finally….

Image

Doesn’t seem right.

Here’s the solution to the meme that started it all:

Image

OK I see now!

There’s a thread on Reddit documenting some of these under a famous one from the Walking Dead called “Don’t Dead Open Inside,” but you really have to dig through it to get to the gems. As far as I know there’s no name for this, it’s not a malapropism exactly, or a spoonerism or a kniferism, it’s *almost* a metathesis, but not quite. Whatever they are, they bring me a lot of joy.
