20 Of The Funniest Signs From The Simpsons

<div><p><em>The Simpsons</em> has been on the air for nearly thirty years, and what most people immediately think of its ever-expanding cast of wacky characters or its <a href="https://www.throwbacks.com/the-simpsons-best-guest-stars-2083518543/">numerous guest appearances</a>. What they sometimes forget, however, is some of the absolutely brilliant writing that goes into creating the many signs and storefronts of Springfield.</p><p>We love the sign gags because they're bite-sized, blink-and-you'll-miss-it jokes that not only give the town its distinct personality, but also sometimes provide the show with some of its most risqué, adult humor. Here are some of our favorites.</p><h3> <strong>20.
