Who doesn’t love it when they see funny license plates while driving? Many of these hysterical plates provide plenty of laughs during your morning commute or when stuck in traffic. It is crazy to think how creative people can be, managing to craft a funny word or statement in seven or eight characters. 

While some vanity plates will cause you to shake your head in disgust, most provide lots of laughs. Whether it is a clever play on words or a promotion for a person’s business or career, funny license plates are good fun. 

While the DMV does its best to make sure license plates are above board, every now and then one slips through the cracks. Some feature upsidedown letters, logos, phrases, or just laugh-out-loud words that will have you chuckling. So what are the funniest license plates doing the rounds? Here are 15 personalized plates that will bring a smile to your dial. 

1. Vlad the Impala

This funny license plate is a play on words, using the model of the car to get a laugh. The Impala is a Chevrolet model that is now no longer in production. A flagship of Chevrolet’s range and one of America’s best-selling cars, the last Impala drove out of the factory in 2020.

This cheeky car owner has kept the model of the car underneath his license plate, with the plate itself reading ‘Vlad The.’ Put the two together and you have Vlad The Impala. For history buffs, Vlad the Impaler (or in this case, Impala), was a bloodthirsty Romanian warrior on who the story of Dracula is based. Fingers crossed he’s not the actual driver behind the wheel, because if you cut him off you might not live to see the next day.

2. Eat the Kids First

This Virginia personalized plate is one parents will understand. If things go to shit and the world is on the brink of collapse, it’s good to know you can trade your kids for food. It’s great to have options right? What makes this license plate even funnier is the use of childlike handwriting and the two child handprints. The different colors also give it a made-in-kindergarten feel.
