Title: Who started the whole "Motivational Poster" thing?
Post by: BTM on October 08, 2008, 08:24:16 AM
I mean, I know you guys have seen them.. they're quasi motivational posters, usually with black backgrounds, the same font face (not sure which one, Arial, maybe?) It usually has a picture, one word in the first line, then the second sentence is the punchline.  I'm guessing they're parodies of a real series of motivational posters that some company or poster group has done, and I'm curious if anyone knew more about them.

Here's some examples:

(http://www.dnaco.net/~vogelke/pictures/bad-motivational-posters/image009.jpg)

(http://www.ishkur.com/posters/blogging.jpg)



And also, post your favorites!  Or any one you can find that's funny. :)

Or, create your own poster! http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/motivator.php (http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/motivator.php)

Probably started with these guys:

At least, that's the first place I ever saw these "demotivational posters".

Schmendrick is correct.  They were originally a series of prints and calendars aimed at the corportate world.  Here are a few of my favorites from the original series:

They have set up a template where you can upload a photograph and make your own:

http://diy.despair.com/motivator.php

This has resulted in a lot of not-so-clever imitations that you see floating around the Net.  Somnetimes people will make funny ones, though.

Here's one that I found that I think was probably made by our own Circus Circus  :wink::

And here's two I made just now for a lark with pictures I had lying around:

Oh yeah. I remember that episode. That's where I started thinking, "OK, I could be wrong, but maybe there just might be a teeny-tiny chance that they're playing to their lesbian fan base."

Actually, in all seriousness, does ANYONE know the story behind this picture?  I just don't see how a FOX can be hanging out with all those dogs and them not reacting to him, unless they were all raised together or something...

If you're referring to the Battle of Yorktown, over half the attacking force was American.

However, the seaboard side of it, the Battle of the Virginia Capes, was a solid French win.

It's fun being a history nerd!
