When you see the fast fashion giant Zara proudly selling “Dude With Sign” shirts for their summer collection, you know the Dude has gone mainstream. And how couldn’t he? With a whopping 7.5 million followers, New Yorker Seth Phillips has gained a cult following for his truth bombs that protest anything from loud engines, phones that shatter easily, “x” in espresso, and other very specific, small things that add up to our daily lives.
And luckily, there’s always something new to protest against. Like, hot coffee in summer or verifying you’re not a robot. So today, we collected some of the Dude’s most recent signs for y'all dudes and dudettes who have had enough. Of what? Let’s say, just everything.
Psst! More truth bombs from ‘Dude With Sign’ await in our previous posts here, here and here.

And it's not even a gender reveal, it's a sex reveal. Your baby boy could be a woman by the time she's 19.
If a super majority of people agree with how they were gendered, wouldnt it be more efficient to roll with the given assignment system and just be as cool and supportive as possible if they decide later that its not for them? Let them know that some people disagree with what they've been assigned, and thats ok. But completely disregarding the gender of all human children until they decide for themselves kind of seems like it would be more damaging then helpful. At least in the context of a society where they would likely be hearing conflicting messages the whole time before the choose.

And stop blowing s**t up because you're too self-absorbed to know that you suck at pyrotechnics.
I think gender reveal anything for an unborn baby is ridiculous. You don't even know what "gender" the poor kid will be, you only know what $ex the baby will be. AND yes, in today's society, that's a tremendous difference! With everybody wanting to create/be their own gender, why are you announcing to the world what the kid has between their legs as if that is what will identify/define them in their life when that is exactly what the world is screaming not to do?
Both sex and gender are about a lot more than what is between anyone's legs. Celebrate what you want./Life is too short not to but just be open toi change which is also cause for celebration.

better yet make gender reveal parties genital themed instead. WHEN I GO TO A GENDER REVEAL PARTY I EXPECT GENITAL SHAPED CONFETTI WITH A SIGN SAYING “ITS A *insert vulgar term for genitalia here*”
Load More Replies...No you don't. Whatever happened to just doing a gender reveal with cake or glitter or something?
you don't need gender reveal party at all...like it's in many other countries
Soo true! In fact, you don't need a gender reveal at all - it's so narcissistic.
Back in my day, the gender was a surprise. I think I like it better that way.
OH MY GOSH I COULDN'T AGREE MORE!! THIS TREND IS NARCISSTIC AND PATHETIC, ESPECIALLY SINCE MOST PEOPLE EXPERIENCE HAVING KIDS...WHO CARES!!
And for those who insist on having one anyway, CLEAN UP EVERY SINGLE BIT OF THE PARTY AFTER. Stop leaving Confetti and streamers all over parks.
I thought a gender reveal party would be cool, then I realized that it’s assigning color for a certain gender. Why can’t I be blue? I love blue!
Once upon a time, blue was for girls, and pink was for boys. That changed in the early 20th century.
Load More Replies...Wait, I can have a nuke for gender reveal? I would like to reveal few people... or cities...
When did this nonsense started? I had no idea it was a thing until last year...
I have 3 kids, all adults now. I never had a gender reveal or even heard of one then.
How about we all doi what we choose to do and keeping it legal.

Dude’s stardom started back in 2019 when Seth Philips, also known as the famous Dude holding signs, and Elliot Tabele held up a cardboard sign saying “Stop replying-all to company-wide emails” in New York City’s Soho neighborhood. The shot was initially made to be shared on Tabele’s Instagram account but after his follower count blew up, the duo realized their low-key protests were something the internet went crazy about.
Previously, Seth told Forbes that the signs were inspired by the never-ending list of first-world problems millennials have had enough of. But what made Dude With Sign really popular is just how relatable his truth bombs really were. The signs' universal appeal has amassed Seth a whopping 7.5M followers.
Today, Dude With Sign's influence is indisputable. Just a few days ago, I stumbled across Dude With Sign shirts in the isles of the street fashion giant Zara. The collection of shirts featured a couple of the most popular pics of Dude holding a punny sign.
Meanwhile, during the worldwide pandemic, Seth has collaborated with the World Health Organisation on a series of memes to share accurate information about how to prevent the spread of coronavirus. The series of pics was aimed at those who use Instagram as their news source and they included messages like “Elbow bumps are the new handshakes” and “Just chill. Your friends aren’t doing anything, anyway.” Both fun and lighthearted, Dude’s signs have helped to spread a crucial point at the height of the global health crisis.
How do you get D**k from Richard? You ask him nicely. Thank you, I'll see myself out now.
I and my entire team can do our jobs 100% from home, but our CEO is obsessed with bringing everyone back into the office, because he loves the 'energy' of having everyone there. The problem is we're short 100+ desks, since the pandemic (we only have desks for half of my team) That's might be OK though, as we're likely going to start losing people soon, who don't want to go back to the office.
My fellow nonparents need to stop being obnoxious about this. 18 months is way different from 12 months developmentally.
In New Zealand we tend to have electric stoves and the elements are different sizes to account for different sized pots and pans. In most of the places I’ve lived, the front left element is bigger than the front right one.
But the entire US credit system is based on the fact that people spend money that they don't have. If you don't spend money you do not have you won't get a credit score and without a credit score you can't get a mortgage or a loan to buy a car.
And cats. From what I've been reading that's actually the only thing that Zoom is good for.
It is from old English Wōdnesdæg or ‘Odin’s day', after Odin or Woden, the supreme Germanic god. Similar to Dutch woensdag.
But there are some people that are too obnoxious to be in the same room with even for 5 minutes, so that bit of info will decide if I'll accept your invitation.
This was mildly amusing the first time. It’s bordering on irritating now. IMO
Yes, he just seems like someone with too much time on his hands
Load More Replies...A lot of these are awfully judgey for someone who stands around with a sign for extended periods of time.
My mom used to work for Rand McNally. I showed her his. It was like watching a robot turn its head slightly, short circuit, and implode. It was great. Thanks!
Load More Replies...He is the one who suggested to wear masks, but then showed up at the Super Bowl. Without a mask.
He needs a sign that says "Stop buying a new tshirt for every post you make". This mans closet for T-shirt's must be huge
Lol. I counted 16 different shirts. There were a couple repeats. If he didn't change the shirt/location people would say it's photo shop. This is his job. He makes money by posting viral posts. You wouldn't comment this about all the 'fits' your fave influencer wears so why the hate?
Load More Replies...I wish I had as much free time as this guy. I wonder how many people read those signs and thought, "By God, that sign changed my life."
It's his job. People make money from viral posts.
Load More Replies...The more I read on this site, the more I'm glad I don't socialize beyond my family and the 3 ppl in my life I actually like. People are all just judgy jerks (yes, I'm aware of the irony in my comment).
I know this kid… he was a year behind my twins in school, and they played sports together. This great kid has an entire great family, especially his Mom. All of her kids have the capacity for greatness!!! They are kind, loving and socially aware. Congratulations on your success, Seth!!!!!!!
This dude has WAY too much time on his hands. Why not use it for something productive and useful, maybe help in an animal shelter or the likes, instead of standing around with pseudo-intellectual bullcrap?
I think that about all "Influencers" and people who have to run and post videos of every thought and thing in their life. But yet, there they are, getting hits and $ from it anyway
Load More Replies...Anyone else notice a corporate logo in a lot of the pics?
Lol @ all the people that think he stands there all day. His photographer takes a photo and he goes to starbucks for a latte or whatever people do these days.
He’s thoughts are thinkable. Some weee just too funny a bit cute… I mean him at times lol I say rock on brother… Greedom with speech 🎤 Good day!!!!
All these are true. That guy is really helping society in some way. Some signs really makes sense.
Loved the vaccine ones. No one needs to know your vaccination status and no one needs to shame other people for getting or not getting vaccinated.
