    I don't get some, but I agree with the #1 choice.
    You can do anything if you put your mind to it.

    Everything happens for a reason.

    Just be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.

    Don't worry about the world ending today. It's already tomorrow in Australia.

    Brilliant! No 1 is very good. There's usually some good signs outside Springfield Prison. Am trying to think of one in particular the eposide where the where Sideshow Bob is pardoned... prisoners are leaving via revolving doors in the prison walls and an elevator over the wall. But i can't think of the sign itself

    A good list, of course there are tons that they missed but its all opinionated so it's good just for a laugh.

    Number one is subtle but certainly one of the more clever signs

    I feel really stupid for never getting the Chuck's one. I kept thinking, "What's so funny about Chuck's Feed & Seed?". *sigh*

    #1 is excellent. That joke is too clever and dangerous.

    #6 is very good as well in my opinion.

    #3, I get it and although I should be laughing - I'm not.

    Thanks for sharing this.

    Chuck's Fuck & Suck is a great one, but I'm sure the censors didn't get it. Chez Guevara and Wee Monsieur are clever, but they don't really make me laugh. The one with the free autopsy was another great one.
    All in all, great list.

    #1 is amazing. Most of the others are very good to excellent, but I have the feeling that there were better ones to fill the top10, including post-classic signs.

    "Sneed's Feed and Seed" is a classic, though I'm a little disappointed that they overlooked "Springfield Heights Institute of Technology".

    I didn't notice that one. What episode was that?

    It deserves to be in the top 10 for sure.

    I always liked the one where Mare and Ruth Powers go to the country Bar. The neon sign reads SH T Kickers (with the thrid letter burnt out). They later refer to it as Shot Kickers.

    I really don't understand how, just because all the words rhyme with "Seed," you can assume that it used to be Chuck's Fuck and Suck instead of Chuck's Feed and Seed. Feels like a great stretch to me. I have to say my favorite of those is "As felt in braille weekly."

    "There's a couple of things they don't teach you in Harvard Business School. One is how to cope with defeat; the other is how to handle a shotgun. I'm going to do both right now."

    Ignoring Moe.

    Springfield's jail sign only saying "JAIL" was quite hilarious. Can't believe it didn't make the list.

    Some great ones on that list. I was a little sad that "Bloodbath and Beyond" wasn't mentioned. That always made me laugh.

    nice list, also nice that i remember all the episodes with this signs. But i agree, some other signs would have been worth mentioning too.

    Ha, never noticed #4 before - "Mom & Pop Hardware - A subsidiary of Global Dynamics, Inc". Great social commentary.

    I think my favourite is either SH_T KICKERS or the animated neon of "Merry Widows Insurance Company".

    Two of my favorites both involve literature:

    "BOOKS! BOOKS! And additional books."

    as well as

    "The Springfield Public Library - We Have Books About TV!"
    "Did you exchange, a walk on part in a war, for a lead role in a cage?"

    Chuck's Fuck and Suck is decent and kinda clever, but certainly not the best.

    All good picks. I agree with those saying #1 is overrated. Still, I like it. They left Flowers By Irene out, but at least they admitted it in the intro.
