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
goonies never say die! i love it. i don’t really get many of them though.
13 is absolutely amazing. I want to go make one now hahahaha.
@51 Dr Frigmundpsued
I liked your comment. But then I’m a Christian/Atheist
it is so great to finally see a new humor list.
#51-54: segue syndrome: when you get owned so hard your only comeback is grammar *****ing
i realy dont get most of these sum 1 plz explain!!!
Ah Zero Wing, such a bright shining beacon of localization gone horribly wrong.
These are so funny. It reminds me of the graffiti I scrawled on a bathroom door at my high school. I wrote “John Lock” on the door and then drew an arrow pointing to the lock on it. Smart ass graffiti.
I don’t get any of those graffitys, but I sure like The Goonies!
the only un obvious one i can explain is 2… if your designing a website would be the start of the title of the page and is to stop the title of the page.. there for is saying something along the lines of stop bush
65. syndrome: My dear child, you not only have no idea about what the term “owned” actually means, you haven’t the foggiest clue as to what constitutes sarcasm.
Perhaps someday you’ll grow up and learn these things, but in the meantime, stay out of the adults conversations, please. You’re annoying.
JFrater/Xanthius : Just a suggestion, but could you maybe add explanations and/or references to the pictures for those of us who are not fluent in Geek? The ones I do get are funny, but I’d like to be able to understand the rest. From reading the comments, it seems like I’m not the only one who didn’t understand some of the list items.
13=LOVE
JF:
I´m going to second the idea that some sort of explanation should be forthcoming regarding some of these (especially the programming ones… and that one about the base?)…
(#12 made me giggle…
)
Like a few others here I am struggling to get most of these. I am either a thick as 2 short planks or don’t have a sense of humour.
I know I have a sense of humour so by elimenation I must be……
These are the worst geek graffitis ever. They just took nerd phrases and put it on random places. Thats plain stupid. The “all your base” phrase from the game, in a trashcan… so??? what is funny about that *****???? Or the 404 error in the floor, whats the funny thing in that???
Worst list ever
I got all those…does that make me a geek?
Half of these are photoshopped, maybe next time you should do a little research

Tyrannosaurus Rex died for your sins too, even if you don’t see it.
79. lo – I thank Bob on a daily basis that T-Rex took a hit for the team…
It’s not amazingly geeky but someone at my school should be commended for going to every fire evacuation notice and replacing the fire drill instructions with “RUN LIKE *****!!!”
I don’t get most of these.
I’m not sure if thats a good thing or not. hehe
Whoa… the new look took me by surprise. Very nice, though.
It’s Listverse, but not as we know it.
Has the site moved to it’s new aerver already?
no comment numbers. Not sure if that’s good or bad?
Looks very nice but without comment numbers it will be a lot harder to respond to individual points from people who post more than once…
yes it’s on WordPress now (Firefox-right click-page info).
Looks like I’m a geek after all!
Thanks scrumpy. Geekiness proves it’s worth once more
Okay – that definitely isn’t our new look
It was a glitch caused by a server failure. I have corrected it. Thankfully when we move to WordPress VIP this sort of thing should STOP!
Oh – and you are right in a way scrumpy – we are using WordPress software but not servers – the move will be to WordPress servers.
Seventina: wow – that comment comes up on every list of images
How could you tell? By the pixels?
Jamie: Okay – that definitely isn’t our new look
OMG that was a fate worse than death.
I liked the way it looked. The comment numbers things was the only flaw. It really wasn’t that bad.
By the way, I was able to get onto wordpress as friednietzsche. That is pretty funny.
88. jfrater: Thank the love of little green apples that it wasn’t the new look. Thank you for fixing the glitch.
91. Nietzsche: *snort*…friednietzsche sounds like a veggie.
I love geeks.
Is there a geek tattoo list in our future or have I not run across that one yet?
We made a stencil a couple years ago of Johnny5 from Short Circuit. It was his face and underneath said “IS ALIVE”
love the bonus! a throw back to empire earth! one of my favorite games!
13= LOVE
Love the bonus, sydney geeks represent
wait nevermind. that isnt necessarily from sydney :$:$ :@ :@
So many of these look fake. True geeks would know that. What does number 2 mean? ,bush
The one with Link looks the most fake and its 16 bit, not 8 bit like true geeks appreciate.
Ummm, I must not get this kind of thing because I didnt understand any of them…
Kinda lost…
Anyone care to explain?
Kir 36: Don’t you mean “Romanus eunt domus”?
Having missed the chance to say “It’s all geek to me”, I’ll have to say “Beware of geeks bearing zits”.
I don’t get most of these. Thank God!
Understood most of them but didn’t really laugh. I guess this list just isn’t for me. And I think 13 is fake.
im obviously not geeky enough to understand any of these :S
I only understood some of these, which means im still safe.
100. shaj2329
anyone else want to confirm these?
3,5, and 6 are pretty obvious
8. is the lingo popularized by lolcats
10. is a penguin? symbolizing linux?
11. goonies parody
12. 501st legion, starwars fan organization
13. is obvious
14. 404, a broken link
lol sorry if my inner geek isn’t up to par
I was dissopointed I though it said Greek Grafitti
all about computers…
“There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who understand binary, and those who don’t”.
segue: You are really starting to bore me, and yes, you can sarcasm’it up as much as you want, hell, you can even throw some semi-intellectual phrases around – I just don’t think people are that impressed any more..
2. From HTML Programming: Translated “END BUSH!”. Thank God that command passed in real life.
3. From Internet Browser Messages: Translated “Graffiti will load in a few minutes, Maybe!”
4. From the PHP Programming Language: Have been trying to figure it out for the last year but don’t know PHP syntax and no one will tell me.
6. From Windows: The three-key CTRL-ALT-DEL combination shuts down badly behaving Windows. Translated: “Shut Down The World, It’s Gone Haywire … OR maybe just this fence”
7. From SQL: Nobody will tell me what this means either.
8. Takeoff on “I am in your flat looting your goods”
9. From Academia: Takeoff on “I am sad because (Duke Nukem Forever got cancelled OR My GF left me OR …). Funny because PhD students don’t normally go out painting graffiti.
10. Translated: Microsoft Ad Cancelled by the Linux Penguin.
11. Please Explain This.
12. Translated: The US is very much like the Empire from Star Wars.
13. 8-bit Link from old Nintendo Games (Thought it was Zelda at first but it is Link). Funny because of the genuine pixellated effect.
14. Takeoff on the “404 – Webpage Not found” Browser Error Message”
15. Please Explain.
109. Ella: Sorry. I didn’t get the memo that it was my life’s mission to amuse you.
Since I have no interest in doing so, I’ll just go ahead and ignore it.
Ok?
Ok.
111. segue: You always make me laugh…guess others around here don’t have a sense of humor.
You just keep it coming!
112. oouchan: I forgot to be semi-intellectual. Do you think my fans will forgive me?
113. segue: hahaha! Of course they will…I did!

“Is there a geek tattoo list in our future or have I not run across that one yet?”
check out these geeky and gorgeous science-inspired tattoos! something many of us will enjoy, i hope
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/loom/category/science-tattoo-emporium/
sorry y’all, that link will get you started, but here is the real direct link to the “science tattoo emporium” (you can click through to it from my first link, but this is better):
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/loom/science-tattoo-emporium/
113.segue: Ditto..I never care what others think!!
116.lo: nice link.. I love the resistor..so simple..so profound!
Yawn..
116. lo : Wonderful, beautiful tattoos. Makes me want to run out and get one my self. Only two problems stand in my way:
1 – my Village has no tattoo parlor
and
2 – I don’t drive, so I can’t get to the next (small) city ( 35 miles away)…and no, there is no bus service between here and there.
I don’t really understand these…..
