It seems that many of the recent lists on Listverse have been quite serious – which is not a bad thing, but sometimes we all need to take a break and look at something fun. So, I have scoured the Internet and put together a list of 15 very funny examples of graffiti that is either aimed at geeks, or by geeks. This is definitely not your typical graffiti. Enjoy – oh, and be sure to point us to other similar examples in the comments. Click the images for a larger view.

Bonus Graffiti
cool list! keep it up! i love number 10
I loved this list & got hardly any of them, please someone, explain?!
If you don’t understand it, look up some of the codes online.
Mad props to the genius who conceived the “Pixel-Link” one. BTW great list altogether.
nice list, it really made me laugh
The Zelda and the stormtrooper were the best
Goonies never say die… so true… They really don’t
My favorite is 4 – though I wish I had thought of it first!
What does number 4 mean ? Lol
OMFG where is “all your base are”????!?!??!?! im outraged I expected this to be #1
What does mean? I unfortunately don’t speak computer. Can someone explain, please?
Also, I enjoyed the pixelated Link… I’m a 21 year old girl who has never played video games. I have no idea how I know who Link is. Whatever. I’m proud to be a little bit geek.
Great list, though. I enjoyed it.
maximuz04: I added one item as a bonus especially for you
hahahahahahaha awesome… man this is probably the nerdiest graffiti I still see around, thanks jamie
Hot salsa list amigo!!! keep up the trabajo!
Dont really think the list is that cool… except for #13, cos its painted brick by brick to give the 8bit impression!
its cool, i like it, more now with the “all your base are…” tid bit.
Nice.
This, of all lists, ought to be able to avoid the influx of hostility that’s seemed to have engulfed LV lately.
If *this* list ends up with vitriolic debate, all hope is lost.
nice list!!!
love number 13.cool effect!!
interesting, I havent commented in a while… havent been fond of most lately but the hypocracy ones were great
calm_incense: I completely agree with you
Does anyone else now have the Legend of Zelda themesong rattling through their brain, now?
And I’ll come back to check out Item 3′s image when it has finished downloading. lol
In my town at my old school there was the “all your base belong to us” graffiti about 20 metres long. Its something to do with a game translation from japan or like that. Not fully sure anyone know where its from???
hey mr jfrater, uhm i’m jus wonderin if dis site is affiliated with oddee.com? jus askin. anyway, nc list again.
yuff: no – we aren’t at all – though I did just write to them to ask them to stop posting mixups of our lists on their site which they are doing a lot at the moment.
If I don’t understand these, does it mean I’m not a geek?
If I first thought the topic was “Greek Graffiti”, does it mean I can’t read properly?
$do || ! $do;
try: command not found
astraya: I think it means you aren’t a Greek geek

This iz pozibly the wurst lyst Iv evr scene. I dont unnerstan eny won of themz–
I’m guessing I’ll never be a true Geek. I wish he would have put a translation under each entry.
I only *get* a couple of these (the more obvious ones). Phew! I’m not a geek
Heheh, chuckles! Glad you put up an “all your base” one, nice call maximuz.
I saw one once of a demolished building in between two left intact and someone had put up a sign saying “404 error: building not found”. That gave me geeky giggles.
Oh here it is…it’s not quite graffiti but it’s definitely nerdtastic.

ALL UR BASE ARE BELONG TO US……ZERO WING FTW!!!
jfrater: yeah i’ve seen some of the items on their list are here
I understood about 3/4 of these, so I guess I’m a 3/4 geek.
Astraya, I thought the same thing at first!
I’m in with the Greeks too. I was expecting Maximus waters down his wine or somesuch.
Funny list.
number 8 made me spill crumbs from my breakfast cake. lol.
Great list this morning! My favorite is the stormtrooper. Gotta be a real geek if you want that one on a t-shirt….and I do!
i wish there was an explanation to go with a few of these. most of them i understand, but the coding ones.. there’s no way i’m going to know what that means. and people who don’t have geeky friends will probably only understand a couple of them. explanations may seem very.. dumb to a lot of people, but to others, they would be a way to get in on the joke.
Romani ite domum!
Breakfast cake? ooh la la! I had tea and toast!
Cool list.
Got 14 out of 16. Guess I passed the geek test!
Some of these look to be photoshopped. I understand most of them, simply because I’m married to the geekist geek of them all!!!
I love my geek!!!
34.oouchan: Gotta love IT! Had to do a double take, like Mom424 I also thought Greek…oh well had’nt had my second cup of java…hey that might be a cool list…Ancient Graffiti…
13 FTW!
I lOVED this list. I agree with calm_incense, it’s nice to have a list that won’t attract heated debates.
I would love to come across these waiting for a bus or something.It would make my day…
lol kir- someone brought in a bunt cake and hazlenut coffee and we had ourselves a little work breakfast party. It was lovely.
I like the Stormtrooper one. I have a t-shirt with that almost exact thing on it.
44. illegal_immigrant: I would love that t-shirt! (I do have one with Darth Vader on it, though
)
JFrater kind of beat me to it, but I was going to say that astray could declare “this geek is all Greek to me”.
Wonderfully funny list! I love it.
It reminds me of my first, and one of my only, pieces of graffiti. I was about 10 or 11, and in the middle of a long High Mass I needed to go to the bathroom. My mum kept saying “no”, until I was absolutely desperate. When I got to the bathroom (the lavatory, in parochial school terms), I was both in urgent need and really angry. As I sat on the pot I used my little pocket knife…I know, I know, what girl carries a pocket knife?…to scratch into the paint on the wall, “Tyrannosaurus Rex died for our sins”.
Is this a thread from Something Awful or what?
haha thought this was greek graffiti at first… excuse my poor eyesight. But loving no. 13! Zelda on bricks seems to work really well.
Got 10 out of 16
I liked no. 12 the best
I think this is another perfect example of liberal and conservative hypocrisy in the brilliant but terrible USA.
51. Dr. FigbrainedPsoiled: Your post belongs not here, but (if even there) on the Excuses People Use to Hate America.
If you meant it as humor, it failed badly.
Segue: apologies, I did not realise you were the sole arbiter of humour for the human race – in future I will submit a draft copy of messages for your approval.
DFP: lowercase s on segue, please.
I understand 8/15. That’s a pass! And I also expected Greeks painted on the Acropolis and such. Cool list!
#53 Has me chuckling in my cubby
Got all but two of them. My favourite is #9 for sure.
Here’s a pic of one of my favorites:

I guess I’m not a geek as none of these appealed to me.
58. gabi319: Great addition!
