Funny Umbrella

Novelty umbrellas with a printed joke or character, compared by canopy size and open mechanism.

Introduction

Funny Umbrella is a search for a novelty canopy: a joke, animal, or unexpected print on a working umbrella. The print is the reason for the search, but canopy size and how it opens still decide if you can use it in rain. A compact folding canopy and a long stick umbrella cover different amounts of rain.

  • Read canopy diameter or arc size if the listing prints one.
  • Check manual open, auto open, or auto open-and-close as stated.
  • Note whether the print is described as inside the canopy, outside, or both.

FAQs

Some joke umbrellas show the design on the outside and some on the inside panel you see when it is open. The description should say which. A folded photo may hide the punchline.

Use the canopy diameter or arc measurement on the listing. A compact folding umbrella covers less than a full stick umbrella. The word funny does not tell you the size.

Manual, auto-open, and auto open-and-close. Auto mechanisms are named in the title when that is the feature. If the listing is silent, assume only what a standard manual umbrella description would say.

Read whether the canopy is described as rain use. A costume prop umbrella may not be described as waterproof. The materials line is the place to check.

Folding umbrellas have a short handle and a wrist some listings. Stick umbrellas have a long shaft. The title should say compact, folding, or stick.
