Top 10 Demotivational Posters

MotivationI don’t remember the first motivational poster I had to look at on the job. Needless to say, I’ve been forced to look at a lot of them.

With the exception of “Make it Happen” which always makes me laugh because of the history behind that phrase (more on that later), most “motivational posters” do nothing to motivate. I’d venture to state that in most cases, they probably demotivate — which is probably why the company Despair has been so successful selling their pessimistic posters.

These are probably my top 10 favorite demotivational posters:

    Those are great! Elephant one is probably the best. I have the Quality one at work (http://despair.com/quality.html) since we’re on this big quality push right now. Always makes me laugh.

    hi….the names china…im concerned with some of the stuff you have up like the fried guinea pig i think thats so wrong i don’t find that funny at all i think its cruel….

    that type of material is very offensive to some people.
