Well you all obviously see a lot of political programs at night with a lot of humor and satire in it but you don’t really get to see the wit of a creative satirical person on the funny political posters. Its not in any more though it gets popular during election campaigns. I have always been a big fan of political satire because it gives the message in such a witty way that you don’t feel offended plus you do love the message and it stays on your mind for good long time. Taking the inspiration from it, I have compiled some hilarious political posters that shows you the desperation and mistrust in the leaders that rule us. It seems none of them have escaped from our criticism and rage.

”Funny Political Poster is an iconic image of Barack Obama created by graphic designer and street artist Shepard Fairey[1] during the 2008 United States presidential election. Made with a stylized stencil of an Associated Press photograph of the then U.S. Senator Barack Obama, the posters were created independently of the official campaign. After the image was shared online, parodies of the Funny Political Posters depicting other notable figures and characters began appearing as well, mimicking the red, beige and blue color scheme of the original version.
Shepard Fairey began creating street art as early as in 1989 with a viral campaign known as Andre the Giant Has a Posse,[2] Funny Political Posters which evolved into the OBEY[3] sticker campaign in the following year and has since appeared in numerous locations all over the world.[4] In October 2007, publicist Yosi Sergant suggested to Fairey that he make a piece of art in support of Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. Fairey then used a photograph (shown below, right) from April 2006, taken by Associated Press freelance photographer Mannie Garcia[5] as the basis for his stenciled poster. The first image he created (shown below, right) had the word “Progress” centered underneath the portrait, with a small OBEY symbol placed inside of Obama’s campaign logo.
Fairey put a series of 350 screenprinted Progress posters up for sale on his website[6] and its proceeds to be donated to the Obama campaign fund. They were priced at $45 a piece and sold out within fifteen minutes. However, many of the first editions were resold on eBay for $3000-$10,000 each.[8] Following the initial run, he launched a second series of 3000 posters with the word “Hope” and an unedited version of the Obama logo at the campaign’s request.[9] Both versions, along with an additional poster encouraging people to vote, were put up on buildings in Los Angeles[10] before California’s primaries.
he Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery announced[19] it had acquired Fairey’s hand-made version of the image with the word “hope” on it, intending to put it on display before Obama was sworn into office. Following this announcement, many bloggers began looking into the source of the original photograph the stencil was based on. Originally, the poster was thought to be modeled after a picture taken by Reuters photographer Jim Young.[20] However, Philadelphia Inquirer blogger Tom Gralish found the original photograph[21], taken by Associated Press freelancer Mannie Garcia five months prior, Funny Political Posters.
A major part of campaigning has always been the publicity battle, with the parties rolling out posters across the country to hammer home their message.
Ken Livingstone this week launched a new poster comparing the Tories to aliens. With such creativity on show, we thought it worth looking back at recent highlights in the parties' publicity efforts.
