The fact that Zara is selling "Dude With Sign" shirts as part of their summer collection is a clear indication that this guy has truly gone viral. The "Dude," Seth Phillips, has genuinely earned all the attention the world is giving him.
Today, he has a cult following of well over 7 million followers. The New York native has been posting a series of truth bombs protesting annoying everyday things such as fragile phones and blaring engines.
He never seems to run out of things to protest about, such as the annoying requirement of having to prove you are not a robot or getting hot coffee during summer.
Here are some of his signs that will ring true with most people who have been frustrated at one time or another by regular things we are supposed to put up with. Dude With Sign has a great sense of humor as well.
Here we go:
1. Yes, Something A Little Less Destructive Will Work Just Fine

2. We Shouldn't Have To Prove We're Humans All The Time

3. It Was Entirely Your Decision, Not Your Dog's Wish

Seth turned into a star a couple of years back in 2019. At the time, Seth and Elliot Tabele held cardboard signs that claimed, "Stop replying-all to company-wide emails." They did this in the Soho neighborhood in New York City.
They intended to share this on Tabele's Instagram. Soon, he had a huge influx of followers, and the two realized that the internet was hungry for these kinds of low-key protests.
During an interview, Seth explained that his inspiration was a long and ever-growing list of things that millennials can't stand anymore. Of course, his greatest selling point is that the things he protests about are incredibly relatable.
That is why he enjoys millions of followers today.

As we speak, Dude With Sign has had a huge impact on society. That is why his shirts have gone on sale at Zara.
For such a large fashion house to take this guy seriously and sell merchandise that features his creativity, he must be quite big. The shirts Zara is selling feature his most popular pics of him holding a hilarious and relatable sign.
However, Seth is not ignorant that the world is currently reeling from a huge epidemic. In recognition of this fact, he has got into a partnership with the World Health Organization to create many memes that share accurate information on how people can curb the spread of COVID-19.
The target audience for these memes are people who use Instagram as their main source of news. The messages include tips like "Elbow bumps are the new handshakes."
Other sobering messages include "Just chill. Your friends aren't doing anything, anyway."
In general, the messages are supposed to be informative, fun, and lighthearted. Through this partnership, the Dude has managed to spread lots of information about dealing with the ongoing global pandemic.
