Default The Demotivational Poster Thread - 06-07-2008, 10:20 AM

I'm sure this has been done before, but we're doing it again. Everyone, show us those demotivational posters! (In spoiler boxes, of course.)

I'll start with yet another Monty Python reference.

Spoiler!

Because I am awesome a pseudo-typophile, I did some research.
The titles are set in Caslon #3 Roman.
The captions are set in Futura.

Tada.

First stop was the DIY section of the Despair site, but the defaults there turned out to be Times for the title and Franklin Gothic Medium for captions. That turned out to be a red herring; put 'em side by side with real Demotivator text and the difference is clear.
Thankfully for the Universe, the Linotype website has a supercool FontIdentifier gadget which is kind of like that magical 20 questions thingamaball, Q20, for type.

My favorite here would have to be the Cool Beans.
It's a very good thing Haya is not here, however, as we'd have a mod war on our hands.

Edit: Nitro also gets points for leaving the e off welcom.
