Members of the Writers Guild of America started striking on May 2, with thousands of writers putting their pens and keyboards down, Insider's Eamonn Jacobs writes.

This happened after the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers could not come to an agreement over salary, residual pay, healthcare, and pension.

The striking guild members have been supported by a number of actors, talk show hosts, and comedians.

And many of the writers have found a different avenue for their wit with some brilliant picket signs. Here are the funniest ones.
