They ’re writers . You KNEW their signs were buy the farm to be good .
As you’ve likely heard, the Writers Guild of America — representing the people who write the movies and TV shows we all enjoy — has gone on strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
Well, writers being writers, they’ve made some incredibly clever and funny signs to show off at their protests. Here are some of the very best:
1.This sign hilariously played off Nicole Kidman’s wonderfully campy AMC movie ad:
" WE COME TO THIS PLACE TO STRIKE!“via@blakebookeater#WritersGuildofAmerica#WritersStrikepic.twitter.com / pZd95CRG1O
2.While this one referenced Khia’s song “My Neck, My Back”:
3.This writer had a message the studio surely will love! He supports A.I.!
" SURE , I bear out ' A.I.' … All our terms being metIn a just & timely manner” ✊ 🏽@jonnysun#WritersStrike#WritersGuildofAmericapic.twitter.com / OxeJwxc2I9
4.And this writer hilariously summed up the state of things: “Don’t piss on my leg and tell me ‘It’s streaming.'”
hmm … bully writing#WritersGuildofAmerica#writersstrikepic.twitter.com / XM0n4Akpce
5.This sign also gets right down to it:
Michael Jamin is one of the best.#writersstrike@WGAWest@WGAEastpic.twitter.com/yWqRTOHKgJ
6.Brett Goldstein — who in addition to playing Roy Kent onTed Lassois also a writer on the show — held up one reading “This sign was not pitched on by a writers room which is why it feels dissatisfying.”
Roy Kent , you f**king legend!#WGAStrike#WritersStrikepic.twitter.com / xaJ72kn5fn
7.There were a LOT of funnySuccession-themed signs, like this one referencing the “It just made sense dramaturgically” meme:

The background: Actor Jeremy Strong (who plays Kendall Roy) recently went viral after using “dramaturgically” in an interview about the show.
8.And this sign perfectly tweaked one of Tom Wambsgans’ lines to the situation:
You can see the scene the sign references below:
Greg , it ’s monstrous . It ’s gargantuan.#WGAStrike#WritersStrikepic.twitter.com / qoOnhXeljM
9.This one reads “Successionwithout writers is justThe Apprenticeand look how well THAT worked out.”
Uh , eso tuvo que doler.#WGAStrike#WritersStrikepic.twitter.com / TXZZ15dYX6
10.And this one made a threat, LOL:
11.This sign suggested maybe the studios shouldn’t be too quick to come up with their own ideas:
12.This sign joked about Jenna Ortegasayingshe needed to fix some of her character’s lines inWednesday:
13.This sign got personal:
14.And this sign had fun with the classicFriendsshow titles:
15.This sign used Netflix’s latest hit title for the cause:
16.Speaking of Netflix, LOL:
17.Some more good ones: “HBO Max pays HBO minimum.”

18.“Just trying to feed my cats :(”
Solidarity.#wgastrongpic.twitter.com/6EW3juUj6y
19.“Gays just want to have fund$”
20.And “I still wanna seeBatgirl.” (I know the writers have bigger things to negotiate about, but if they somehow gotBatgirlreleased after all this, that would be…chef’s kiss.)
21.This sign referenced a classic movie line (you have to imagine saying it in Al Pacino’s voice):
One thing you’re able to matter on froma#writersstrikeis DAMN GOOD SIGNSpic.twitter.com/4aRkwuoBba
22.This sign referenced a poignant line fromWandaVisionthat proves why writers are so damn important:
23.White Lotusfans will appreciate this one:

24.This adorable sign will amuse fans ofThe Mandalorian:
25.And lastly, I think it’s safe to assume these two are comedy writers:
