Bumper stickers are pretty straightforward, as they’re exactly what they sound like—stickers that are meant to be applied to the back or front bumper of a car. Many people use them to express their political views, inform everyone what college they’re studying at, or support a sports team or a noble cause. Some paste such adornments to their vehicles to express their quirky personalities and their top-notch sense of humor, making monotonous journeys more entertaining for other fellow drivers and passengers.

The team at Bored Panda has collected such instances from all over the internet and compiled them into this witty little list. Scroll down to find the most playful bumper stickers out there, and make sure to upvote the ones you’d like to slap on your own car!

The name came about quite unexpectedly when the family was on holiday in Spain and saw a grumpy tortoise stuffed animal at a zoo they visited, which became the inspiration for it. The plushy toy sits on her shelf at the office, overlooking quality control. “I really should feature him more!” she said in her blog.

When it comes to the creation of the stickers, Christopher usually bases the design on what he likes and what purpose they will serve, as some of them are meant to decorate books, while others are intended to be collectible pieces.

While Linda gets inspired by her past experiences. “I keep a running notes app on my phone with ideas as they pop into my head,” she tells us.

We were also curious to know what the key elements of a quality sticker were. Christopher said that “the more simple they are, the better. You need to know how to transmit feelings with a simple drawing. Sometimes it doesn't need to be sentimental or dark. Sometimes it just needs to be a cute bug enjoying nature.”
