Comedian Jason Saenz posts hilarious flyers around New York streets

WE’RE used to seeing posters for missing pets and spare rooms plastered to trees. Now a comedian has come up with some more creative flyers.

The self-referential signs parody the usual flyers seen on streets around the world.

WE’RE used to seeing posters for missing pets or spare rooms plastered to trees and telephone poles.

Now a comedian has come up with some more creative flyers.

The signs posted around New York and Virginia by Jason Saenz are sure to make passers-by do a double take.

You can’t get much more meta than this pun-tastic poster.

An upside-down bus stop poster calls for some assistance.

Sometimes, fly-posters just don’t have the materials to do their jobs.

One self-referential poster, printed on a paper towel, reads: “Wanted: Printer Paper”.

An upside-down sign calls for “someone to hang flyers.”

And another offers pedestrians a “stoop for sale”, adding “don’t tell landlord”.

An unusual “Missing” advert stuck to a tree and featuring a picture of a tree seeks, “Perennial Plant, with trunk and supporting branches. Goes by the name of Chip.”

And certain equipment is pretty essential.

This poster requires the right kind of person to take a snap.

We hope no one steals this idea.

A torn poster begs for its other half, while one dropped on the ground is searching for a telephone pole.

An advert for missing house keys gives the address of the imaginary gullible owner.

The flyers have been plastered around New York and Virgina, and Saenz has created a Tumblr to share them with the world.

Which is your favourite? And have you seen any better ones in real life?

‘It was a really good album’, insists this ‘Dead or Alive’ poster.

There’s no hope for the desperate numerologist who posted this.

They may not be confident, but at least they're honest.
