A humorous trope in which a posted sign or spoken warning against an action is so precise that you just know that the characters will do exactly that, or just have.
Not to be mistaken for Schmuck Bait, where the sign is the source of temptation. Instead, this trope forbids something that the characters were going to do anyway, or didn't realize was forbidden; often they take no notice of the sign.
Compare Not Cheating Unless You Get Caught and Rules of the Road. Overlaps with I Warned You if the person pointing out the sign is the one who posted it in the first place. For the sub-trope related to barring animals from places of interest see No Animals Allowed.

Cowboy Bebop:
In "Venus Pop" our heroes are desperate to get to an Escape Pod, yet completely miss the large luminous sign showing where it is.
In "Binary Two-Step", the BeBop is Coming in Hot on top of an abandoned military base, and crashes through a sign saying DO NOT ENTER.
In "Sad Clown A-Go-Go", foreshadowing of Mad Pierrot's introduction to our heroes is given by a shot of a sign saying CAUTION.

In Nancy Drew: Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, there's a post-it note that reads, "Rotten Floorboards! Watch your step" except Nancy has to step right on the rotten boards to get a clear view of the sign.

A favorite gag in Ranma ½:
In one instance, there is a sign saying "Do Not Break Wall". Ry�ga breaks it.
Early in the anime, Ry�ga falls down a hill next to a sign reading "Warning: Landslide area".
In the manga, Ry�ga, thinking of Akane, hugs a pole that has the notice "Do Not Hug Pole." Because he's so strong, he breaks the pole. And right above the former sign there is another, off-panel in the previous panel, which reads "Do Not Break Pole."
An exhausted Ry�ga is so desperate he asks a horse for directions. Naturally, there's a nearby sign that reads, "Do not talk to horse."
Ranma's mom sits on a water main marked "Danger: Do Not Sit."
Pantyhose Taro is dangled from a tree with a sign on it reading: "Please do not hang people from this tree."
S�un and Genma are once knocked off a cliff by a sign blown at them by very strong winds. The sign reads: "Danger! High Winds!"
Ranma is once running atop the fence by the canal (as he does all the time), when a section falls out, marked with a sign that reads "Danger: Unstable. Do not stand on top." He quickly jumps onto the next section... which read "Also Unstable" and dumps him into the water.
One of the more humorous examples has a one-shot character waiting for Kodachi at a garden while doing a Noblewoman's Laugh. Naturally, there is a sign right outside that says "Please do not laugh loudly inside the garden."
Ryū Kumon, while training with his Razor Wind technique, cut into pieces a Bhudda statue bearing the sign "Please don't cut the Bhudda statue into pieces." Later, the statue had been pieced together (with adhesive tape) and sports a new sign: "Please don't cut the Bhudda statue into pieces again." Naturally, Ryū does so while fighting Ranma (and the statue's head is crying).

During the "Pirates of the Oceans Unmoving" arc of Sluggy Freelance, a flashback shows the time when Torg bought Bun-Bun from The Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday. Finding exactly what he's looking for, for just under what he could afford to pay, he's smart enough to realize where he is, so he then asks the proprietor for a gorgeous, bikini-clad girlfriend for the single dime he had left. The proprietor then silently points to a sign that reads "Attempting to abuse Magical Shop's magicalness will incur a 10 cent penalty".

Parodied ruthlessly in The Neverhood. After draining the lake in the second section of the game, it's possible to go down into the empty canyon and see the drain itself. Huge signs are placed all around it: "WARNING! DO NOT JUMP INTO THE DRAIN! YOU WILL DIE!" Klaymen can choose to ignore the signs and leap right in, and sure enough...

The Simpsons has used this gag several times:
In "Homer the Vigilante", Herman shows Homer a "miniature version of the A-bomb" which "the government built in the fifties to drop on beatniks". Homer then goes into a day dream sequence where he rides the bomb a la Dr. Strangelove onto a group of beatniks only for it to cut back to reality where he's actually riding the displayed bomb. Herman then points out the adjacent sign reading "DO NOT RIDE THE BOMB".
There's also an instance early on in "Homer's Triple Bypass", when he begins a quiet prayer to God and is shushed immediately by the nurse, who points to a sign reading "NO PRAYING".
When Homer is injured in a prison rodeo in "Pokey Mom", he is treated in the prison's medical facility. When Marge remarks that he's being very stoic about the situation, he says he can't complain, then points out a sign saying "No Complaining". The doctor says that the sign's only for the prisoners, so Homer starts letting it all out: "Oh, I hurt so much! And my job is so unfulfilling..."
In "Lost Our Lisa", Lisa is trying to ride the bus to see a museum exhibit:
In "Coming To Homerica", in order to protect himself from Homer, Bart hid behind a sign reading "Report Child Abuse".
When they made a Parody of The Da Vinci Code, Lisa entered a place that had a sign forbidding it. Under it, there was another sign alternatively allowing it, stating it was a sign, not a cop.
In "Duffless", when Homer got lost inside a labyrinth, he tried to climb his way out but got electrocuted. He then found a sign stating it was electrified. Out of anger, he punched it and got another shock. He then found a sign reading "Signs also electrified".
During a flashback in "Lisa's Sax", 5-year-old Bart is trying to get adjusted with his new school. On his home he was skipping on the school yard and Groundskeeper Willie starts yelling at him in a thick Scottish accent. Bart not understanding him continues to skip and Willie angrily asks him "Don't you understand English?" while pointing to a sign reading "ACH! KEEP OFF THE GRASS!"
In "The Homer They Fall", Bart is wearing a fancy Batman-style utility belt and the bullies are chasing him. He presses the belt's "Emergency" button, which gives off a siren (telling the bullies his location) and shoots off a flare which parachutes to the ground with the words "Need Help Call Police" on the 'chute. When the bullies run up to him Bart says "Can't you read? Call the police!"
In the "Treehouse of Horror XV" segment "Four Beheadings and a Funeral", as Homer flees the opium den he throws people to slow his pursuers. Moe tells him to obey the sign, "No Tossing Addicts".
In the "Treehouse Of Horror IX" segment "Hell Toupée", Snake starts smoking while in the Kwik-E-Mart, with Apu saying "You cannot smoke in here, sir. Please, the sign is clearly posted, sir.", pointing to a tiny "No Smoking" sign surrounded by more massive cigarette ads. In this segment, Springfield has a "three-strikes" law", and since this is Snake's third strike, he's executed by the police.

The Merrie Melodies cartoon "A Day at the Zoo" had an old lady at a zoo trying to sneak some peanuts to a monkey. He throws them back at her and shouts "Hey, sister! Can't you read?!", holding up the "do not feed the animals" sign for emphasis.

Parodied in Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. In Meribia, there's a sign on one house that's blocked by a bunch of flowers, making it impossible for anyone in your team to read. After Kyle joins the team, you can bring him to examine the blocked sign. Kyle resolves to find out what the sign says by walking through the flowers and destroying them. So what does the sign say? "Please don't step on the flowers".

Justice League:
In "The Brave and the Bold", while in a lab, Flash tries offering a banana to a gorilla in a cage (unaware that it's Gorilla Grodd, the main villain of the episode), only for the angry scientist to snatch it away and point out the "Don't feed the animals" sign.
In "A Better World", Flash ignores a "Please Don't Pick the Flowers" sign and picks one. Poison Ivy calls him out on it.

La Cité de la peur:
This French movie starts with a very poor slasher film in which a hammer-and-sickle-wielding killer is thrown into a puddle of oil fuel. Next to said puddle is a sign saying "OIL FUEL. DO NOT JUMP IN THERE". When the killer is thrown in the puddle again, the sign now says "OIL FUEL. DO NOT RE-JUMP IN THERE".
"Choucroute interdite" ("Sauerkraut forbidden").

Several instances of these happen in quick succession in Manehattan's Lone Guardian:
First, there are several "do not gallop on wet floor" signs in Bronclyn High's pool area. Another sign posted in the same area calls out anypony who thinks that the aforementioned signs are there just for decoration.
Second, the same sign posts a warning directed specifically to Gray Ghost that she is not allowed to sleep in the sunshine on the diving board, and that she is not allowed to use "but I didn't see the sign" as an excuse. Of course, she blatantly violates that warning in every respect while waiting for Leviathan to show up for their duel. It is stated that the sign dates back decades to when Gray attended the school as a teenager, implying that she was disregarding the sign even then.

Community: Jeff takes Beginner Pottery, an "ultimate blow-off class", then sets off Professor Holly's Berserk Button by inadvertently re-enacting the pottery scene in Ghost (1990). Holly growls "One rule I asked you to follow. One. LOOK!" and points to a poster of Patrick Swayze with an "X" over it.

Happens in RWBY with the cave where the Giant Scorpion emerges from. It has old drawings of people attacking the monster with sticks and spears. This could signify that the monster had been in the cave since the original war with the Grimm and warning people to stay away. Unfortunately, since the symbols may hint that there may be ruins in the cave, it may double as Schmuck Bait.

Andy Griffiths' Just Series:
A hilarious inversion in Just Annoying! Andy takes one of his neighbor's garden gnomes on holiday and sets it up for a photograph (for a postcard) on the diving board at the swimming pool. The lifeguard catches him and tells him that garden gnomes are banned from the pool. When Andy correctly points out that this is not on the sign (which he even checked beforehand), the response is "It shouldn't have to be, it should be obvious".
Just Stupid! has a running gag where a park-keeper points out signs ("Keep off the Garden", "No Swimming") shortly after Andy has broken the rule in question, which eventually drives him to try and chase Andy out of the park. Andy's attempts at Loophole Abuse do not help: "I look around to check there's no signs saying 'No Scooping'. No, only one that says 'No Fishing'." Or more brazenly, "As far as I can see there is no sign around here saying 'Do Not Dismantle the "No Fishing" Sign and Turn It Into a Scoop'."

In an episode of Corner Gas, Lacey tells Karen not to play with her hackey sack in the restaurant. Karen says that if it's a rule, there should be a sign posted, to which Lacey replies "We don't have a sign for everything. Read the sign!" and then points to a sign that reads "We don't have a sign for everything. — Lacey".

Supernatural:
In "Folsom Prison Blues", there are numerous signs posted saying that fighting by inmates will not be tolerated, but the episode is full of Good Old Fisticuffs.
In "My Heart Will Go On", Fate is trying to kill the Winchesters with freak accidents. As the brothers walk nervously along the street, they're alarmed by skateboarders zooming past them, pedestrians walking large dogs, and street performers juggling sharp objects, despite a sign forbidding all of these activities.
In "A Little Slice of Kevin", Crowley tortures Kevin Tran by cutting off a finger. We then cut to our heroes passing a sign saying, "Beware: Sharp Edges Keep Fingers Clear".
In "Remember the Titans", Zeus tortures Prometheus with lightning. There's a sign on the wall that says, "Danger 1000 volts".

Discworld:
Soul Music: There's no sign in Blert Wheedon's guitar shop; the "warning" that you shouldn't play "Pathway to Paradise" is when a troll rips your arms off.
Used as a weapon in Thief of Time against powerful beings called the Auditors. Since the Auditors follow "laws" and are actually the ones who file the paperwork for them, they obviously must respect what the sign says. When the signs in question are nonsensical, like an arrow pointing left that says "KEEP RIGHT"... And when presented with a sign prohibiting the feeding of the elephant — the Auditors are compelled to seek out an elephant to not feed.
It's also occasionally referenced that an Ankh-Morpork citizen/Wizard, upon encountering a sign not to perform an action, will immediately perform the action just to see what all the fuss is about. Which is why the sign on the stick holding the Portal Window open in The Last Continent says "Do not remove this wood. Not even to see what happens. IMPORTANT."
And indeed that if there was a big lever in a hidden cave somewhere with a sign next to it saying "END OF THE WORLD SWITCH. DO NOT TOUCH." the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse (along with its GBA remake, Magical Quest Starring Mickey and Minnie) has a notable inversion of the trope. In the Fire level, the second level to be specific, Mickey (or Minnie, if the player decided to play as her in the GBA remake) arrives at a glass pane containing a fireman's suit that has a sign above it stating that, if there is a fire, someone has to break the glass. As if on cue with his/her entry, a block falls down and smashes the glass and has the fireman's outfit land near Mickey/Minnie, earning him/her the outfit.

In Inuyasha, during the fox demon exams, Shippo dangles a rope with a sign attached in front of Inuyasha that reads "Do Not Pull". Inuyasha pulls it, and Shippo pulls out a sign that reads "Idiots Will Pull" complete with fireworks. Needless to say, Inuyasha is very pissed and uses the Wind Scar on Shippo. Rumiko Takahashi loves this gag, and it appears several more times in her works.

EarthBound (1994):
You are warned of in one cave about "Falling Objects". Then the photographer drops from the ceiling to take a picture of you. Granted, he always drops from the ceiling.
In a similar light, after visiting the Giant Step, Captain Strong stops you on the way out because of the DO NOT ENTER sign outside the shack (the letters are big enough for the player to read). You have to then go to the Police Office to wrap that issue up and proceed to Twoson. Yes, this is part of the plot.

Played for laughs in a Donald Duck story. He and his nephews go to a foreign country and the nephews climb a wall. On the other side of the wall, a furious man calls their attention to a sign at the top of the wall and asks if they can't read it. As the sign is written in the country's language instead of one they knew, the nephew who answers truthfully says "no". (The wall is so high nobody would be able to read the sign without climbing it first.)

In Undertale, the Ruins have signs warning you to stick to the path and not step on the leaves, each of which can only be read by not doing as the sign says. This is actually a clue about how to solve the puzzle. The path through the leaves on the lower floor lines up with the correct way to walk across the area on the floor above. Walking on the floor above where the leaves are causes you to fall through.

There is a sign that says "No Dogs Allowed" at the entrance of the zoo. The Tramp gets around this by inciting a fight between the guard and a visitor, allowing him and Lady to enter the zoo undetected.

When the cast of Yosh! visits Japan, the lead female is assaulted by flash perverts in a park, using a classic Japanese tag-team trick, where one sneaks up behind a woman and lifts her shirt, while the other is hidden in front with a camera. After she's "dealt" with the two, Yosh comments that there should be signs warning against such assaults. Cue a frame showing several signs hanging and standing all over the park, reading "Warning: Beware of Perverts". In Japanese.

In The Legend of Kyrandia Book 3: Malcolm's Revenge, one section involves navigating sheer-faced cliffs and waterfalls, and the only way to go is up or down with the aid of certain items. There are signs posted on each screen that inform what items are not allowed ("No climbing shoes", "No umbrellas", etc.) However, it's reverse psychology. The forbidden items are the items that will work.

The Legend of Zelda: In any Zelda game, ignoring odd signs is considered wise.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past:
The game has a signpost warning people not to throw objects into an obvious circle of stones sitting nearby. Not only is doing so the only way to get an item required to beat the game, but in this game, signposts themselves can be lifted, making it far too tempting to obtain the item by throwing the signpost.
There's another sign that warns you to pay no attention to the man standing next to it. If you go up and talk to the man, he's silent. But if you steal his sign, he gets a bit annoyed and starts following you around...
The treasure chest and fishing minigames in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time are hinted to have banned items; these items can be acquired and used to your advantage. (However, in the case of the sinking fishing lure, you do get a notice on your catch saying it was caught with an illegal lure.) But in that case, you can make it legal.

Haruhi Suzumiya never met a sign she didn't promptly ignore, such as the NO DIVING sign during the pool scene in the anime adaptation of "Endless Eight", while Kyon has never missed a sign that he didn't suffer for. At least, not yet. R.I.P., Kyon's Bike.

The Are You Afraid of the Dark? adventure game The Tale of Orpheo's Curse has a few instances.
There are five wardrobes in the basement.
Do not open until Winter (contains coats, one of which you can examine).
Do not open until Halloween (contains a puppet, which tries to goad you into looking in Wardrobe Five).
Do not open until Elevator Day (an elevator which takes you back to the wax museum).
Do not open until Monster Day (contains five monster masks which unlock Wardrobe Five if examined in a certain order).
Do not open EVER! If you try and open it, you will be dragged inside by a bunch of clothes.
There's also another door that says you'll be sorry if you open it. You'll get caught by the Neanderthal Man if you do so.

Used as a weapon in Thief of Time against powerful beings called the Auditors. Since the Auditors follow "laws" and are actually the ones who file the paperwork for them, they obviously must respect what the sign says. When the signs in question are nonsensical, like an arrow pointing left that says "KEEP RIGHT"... And when presented with a sign prohibiting the feeding of the elephant — the Auditors are compelled to seek out an elephant to not feed.

In Bloom County, signs reading "No toad sexing" or other strange restrictions could occasionally be spotted in the background. A visitor to MIT will find the words "No toad sexing" scrawled on the walls in numerous out-of-the-way places. The exact origin of this is disputed.

The Goodies
In "Holidays", Bill pulls down a list of ridiculously strict rules on the wall of their holiday chalet. Underneath is a sign saying '250 pound penalty for removal of notice'. Bill hurriedly sticks it back.
In "Clown Virus", the Goodies are sneaking onto a US military base and see a sign at a boom gate warning them that it's dangerous to proceed beyond this point. Bill makes a big show of stepping across the white line, whereupon the boom falls on his head.

In The Sims 3, one of the towns features a river that happens to pass by the local cemetery, where there is a "No Fishing" sign posted on the river bank. If a highly skilled angler goes to that specific place between the hours of midnight and 4:00 am, s/he can, with the correct bait, catch the elusive Deathfish. Not only does the Deathfish have a high simoleon value if sold, it's one of the two ingredients used by a highly skilled chef to make Ambrosia, which makes its eater grow somewhat younger.

Girl Genius:
If they'd looked closer, maybe that invading army would have noticed the sign on the gates to Mechanicsburg: "Trade Entrance. Invade in Front".
Also, there is a chewing-gum machine in Castle Heterodyne with a sign saying "Poison — Illiteracy Reduction"; people who can't read the sign will eat the chewing-gum and die.
And aboard Castle Wulfenbach, a bubbling green laboratory pool labelled "DO NOT DRINK". Moloch Von Zinzer evidently ignores this directive with no ill effects.

Monk attempts to tell a biker at the bar that he shouldn't be smoking and points to a no smoking sign right above the biker. Not only did the biker not stop smoking, but the biker simply reached up for the sign and set it on fire.

In the Peanuts special Snoopy, Come Home, Snoopy is continually frustrated by signs that prevent him from going where he wants and doing what he wants, either in general or because he is a dog. Snoopy is actually happy with the last one he sees because it is at the building his previous owner lived and he can use it as an excuse (to break it to her gently) why he cannot to return to her. Snoopy loves both his previous owner and Charlie Brown, but he just isn't particularly thrilled at the thought of living with her other pet, a cat.

In Megaman Sprite Game, early on in the game you see a sign that warns you of the legal repercussions of stepping off the path. In order to get close enough to the sign to read it, you need to step off the path. Rather infamously, stepping off the path at any point in the game triggers the Bad Ending. See here.

In one town in Dragon Quest IX, there is a small plot of land being used for crops, in the middle of which is a sign saying "do not step on the crops". Naturally, due to its placement and the way you read signs in Dragon Quest games, the only way to read it is to step on the crops.

In one episode of Ben 10, Grandpa Max takes Ben and Gwen to see a roadside attraction that is built up as something amazing. They are also told to mind the signs. When they finally go to see it, they pass several warning signs about things not to do to it. It turns out to just be a gigantic ball of rubber bands. Ben ignores the warning signs, and Gwen doesn't stop him because she also found it disappointing. It turns out there actually was a good reason for the signs. The giant ball of rubber bands is also a prison for an electrical monster which is unleashed by Ben playing with it.

In one Archie Comics episode, "A Symbol Problem", Veronica goes to Norway. But everywhere she turns (and whatever she does), she always meets up with a guard who points to a sign which prohibits something she has done. Fed up with everything, she finally decides to show everyone what the place is really like, and changes the sign to say, "Welcome to NO WAY".

In Malcolm in the Middle, when Dewey is first sent to the troubled kids classes, he sits next to a boy with boxing gloves on who asks him if he can scratch his nose. Dewey points out that the boy has a sign on his chest that says "Don't touch. Bites." He tells him to just ignore the sign. Before cutting to commercial, and as Dewey approaches his finger to scratch his nose, we see that he has another sign on his back: "Don't ignore the sign".

There is a dramatic, rather than humorous, example in Five Easy Pieces when the coffee-shop waitress points out the "no substitutions" notice on the menu to nihilistic protagonist Robert Dupea as he tries to order plain wheat toast. He politely orders around her rule, but she refuses to accommodate him, saying, "See that sign sir?" (It says "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.") "Guess you'll all have to leave. I'm not taking any more of your smartness and sarcasm!" Dupea's reply is the one line everyone remembers from the movie.

A sign obstructing the scenery warns you not to obstruct the scenery by posting signs.
After the Time Skip, a sign beyond a flowerbed begins to admonish you for stepping on the flowers in order to read it, before conceding that it's really the fault of whoever put the sign up in the first place.

Futurama:
In the episode "The Farnsworth Parabox", Fry and Bender need to move through the Planet Express office undetected. Bender rips the hatch off a superheated steam pipe, above which is a sign that reads, "No Crawling Around". They climb in and, well...
In "My Three Suns", while delivering a package to the emperor of Planet Trisol, Fry drinks from a random bottle. Then it turns out that the Trisollians are a water people, and Fry drank the emperor! Luckily, natives practice Klingon Promotion, which makes Fry the new emperor, and the recipient of the package. It contains a sign that says, "Do Not Drink The Emperor", which Fry hangs up next to dozens of signs surrounding the spot where the bottle was, all written in alien languages. "This got here just in time!"
In "Three Hundred Big Boys", Leela goes swimming with a whale with a swimsuit filled with rotten fish as a part of a Zany Scheme. After she dives in, a banner reading, "PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE WHALE" is seen. Leela's suit is eaten. "The suit was ugly! Whale biologist".
"The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" begins with Bender in front of Fry's bedroom door with a ton of signs on it telling him not to enter; Bender resonds with: "I choose to not understand these signs" and enters anyway.

In the first Oddworld game, inside Rupture Farms, there are various signs of this kind. For instance, near the beginning, "NO TALKING! To fellow employees", referring to the game mechanics of Gamespeak. Indeed, if the player DOES try to talk to one of his fellow employees who is next to a Slig, and the employee responds, the Slig will shoot and kill him. Obviously, Rupture Farms takes their no-talking policy very seriously.

The guitar store in Wayne's World has the sign "NO Stairway to Heaven". This sign is based off the real world: so many people would come into music shops and test the guitars by playing "Stairway to Heaven" that clerks would hang those signsnote Some guitar shops have a sign warning against playing "Smoke on the Water" — the chord sequence for the opening can be transposed to power chords, making it so simple that almost anyone can thrash it out, but that's no excuse for inflicting it on the poor sales staff yet again. Seriously, don't do that. In the original theatrical release, Wayne did play Zeppelin's classic, but on home video releases, due to music licensing issues, it's a Suspiciously Similar Song. If anything, that makes it even funnier. "No Stairway! Denied!"

In The Hot Chick there's two instances of this. When Jessica (in Clive's body) starts strangling Clive (in Jessica's body) the owner of the strip club comes to point at a neon sign that reads "No strangling the dancers". Later on, when Clive returns to his body and tries to run out of the club (because he still has the stripper outfit), the same owner points to another sign: "Monday night is Gay night".

Thomas the Tank Engine: Several characters face the consequences of ignoring signs.
In Down the Mine, Thomas sets out to disobey a sign saying "Danger: Engines must not pass this board". He ends up... down the mine, whose roof is not strong enough to hold the weight of an engine.
In Percy takes the Plunge, Percy sees a sign at the quay simply marked "Danger". Thomas tells him that "Danger" means falling down something, telling of how he fell down the mine. When Percy sneaks past it, he finds that the rails slope steeply down to the sea, where he ends up.
Bulgy the double-decker bus ends up wedged under a low bridge. Although not referred to in the text, a "low bridge" sign is visible in the original illustration.

Timon & Pumbaa:
Parodied in one episode, when the pair narrowly escape a piranha infested river with Timon saying that there should be a warning sign. Pumbaa replies "Like this one?" and points out a plain looking sign next to them saying "Warning: Piranhas". Timon tries to save face by saying the sign should be bigger and Pumbaa points out an even bigger sign with spotlights and the same word written in lights.
And that one time when the two are in a runaway jeep headed toward a cliff (It Makes Sense in Context). There's dozens of signs on the path leading to the cliff, and they just crash right through them. CLIFF AHEAD! *smash* STOP NOW! *smash* SERIOUSLY! *smash* THESE SIGNS *smash* ARE EXPENSIVE! *smash*

He sneaks out of his room in a hospital gown, seeking clothes and to hide from his (very perplexed) physician; spotting a door marked "Doctors Only", he (being the Doctor) walks right in.
In "Time Heist", all the air vents have the warning "No Entry Under Any Circumstances". Given that Air Vent Escape is a Running Gag in the series, let alone this episode, it's universally ignored.
In "The Caretaker", the Doctor complains of the Snooping Little Kid who ignored his Keep Out sign. She points out that it actually reads "GO AWAY HUMANS", which while still pertinent is a bit harder to take seriously.
In "The Woman Who Fell to Earth", the Doctor and companions must climb a tall crane to take on the villain of the week. There's a sign on the crane showing a falling man and DANGER OF DEATH — DO NOT CLIMB. It also counts as Foreshadowing, as someone does end up falling.

Paganitzu: Inscriptions can be found on the wall, giving clues to the game. However, some of them are spoofs of well-known signs, such as "No shirt, no shoes, no service".

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past:
The game has a signpost warning people not to throw objects into an obvious circle of stones sitting nearby. Not only is doing so the only way to get an item required to beat the game, but in this game, signposts themselves can be lifted, making it far too tempting to obtain the item by throwing the signpost.
There's another sign that warns you to pay no attention to the man standing next to it. If you go up and talk to the man, he's silent. But if you steal his sign, he gets a bit annoyed and starts following you around...

B.C.:
One strip has a character see a sign that says "Do not stand in front of sign". He tries to walk past it, but the other side says "Do not stand behind sign". The last panel shows him standing on top of the sign, a helpless expression on his face.
The same character, standing and staring at a sign, implicitly for quite a while. When someone comes along, he asks them, "Hey, what does 'loitering' mean?"
Other signs have included "DO NOT EAT THIS SIGN" (Grog ate the pole and spat out the sign) and "DO NOT STAND ON THIS SIGN" (cue rebellious caveman standing on it, despite gravity being 90 degrees from the position he was in).

The Ed, Edd n Eddy episode "Stop, Look, and Ed" used these as part of the plot. Eddy doesn't want to follow the rules and convinces the other kids to ignore signs as well. Also, Ed goes under some grass instead of on it due to a "Keep off the Grass" sign, and Edd is forced to concede "Well, I suppose technically that's not on the grass...".

Top Gear once had a miniature campaign regarding unnecessary road signs. Among the first pictures shown was a car which had crashed into a sign reading: "Thank you for driving carefully through our village." Clarkson then points out that if the sign weren't there, the car wouldn't have hit anything.

Super Animal Royale has a "no dancing" sign (well, it depicts a silhouette of a Super Fox doing what could be loosely interpreted as dancing) near the welcome center fountain where you spawn during the pre-match login period. You can expect to see multiple players dancing right in front of it at any given time. Doing it during an actual round nets you one of your very own to smack people with! There are also "no dancing" signs in the Health Juice Factory, which happens to be staffed by the same crabs that will do the Crab Rave dance if you dance near them anywhere else on the island. Try that here, and they'll scold you with a Pictorial Speech-Bubble of the sign.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
In "Out of My Mind", Spike lights up a cigarette while framed by a "No Smoking" sign. In a hospital, no less. Harmony, however, looks embarrassed and snuffs hers out when the sign is pointed out to her.
In "Hush", after everyone is struck mute, Riley and Forest take the elevator down to the Initiative, but can't provide the voice ID and the elevator starts to fill with deadly gas. They're rescued before they asphyxiate, and after letting them out, Professor Walsh points out the sign that reads "In case of emergency, use stairs".
Also used for ominous foreshadowing — at the end of "The Harvest", Angel appears to be standing next to a sign saying WATCH YOU — appropriate enough for his Mysterious Watcher role. However, when he walks away, we see the sign actually reads WATCH YOUR STEP, foretelling his Face–Heel Turn into Angelus.
Similarly, at the end of "After Life" when Buffy confides in Spike, he's standing next to a discarded door with a BEWARE OF DOG sign — a Running Gag with Spike, but this time hinting at the Destructive Romance to follow.
And in an episode that addresses the destructive nature of Buffy's Romantic Vampire Boy attraction, there's a road safety poster saying Most Women Aren't Attracted To Dead Guys.
In "Faith, Hope, and Trick", shortly after Faith is introduced and doing a tour of the school she stands in front of a poster, Campus Rape Starts Here. It's meant to be a warning on spiking drinks but depending on how you count them Faith would end up a multiple rapist.

The auto destruct button has a sign warning not to press it unless you really, really mean it. It is ultimately set off semi-accidentally when Dark Helmet gets body-slammed against it.
At the start of Lone Star's rescue of Princess Vespa, a group of Spaceballs object to him parking his ship outside the detention block. "Hey! You can't park here!" "Yeah! Can't you guys read? No parking!" The heroes proceed to ignore the demand.

Family Guy:
When Peter and Lois are buying fake documents on the black market in Cuba, they realize they have no money and Peter asks the cashier if they would accept bits of string instead. The cashier replies, "Sorry, store policy" and points to a sign noting... that they don't accept bits of string.
In "E. Peterbus Unum," after creating a micronation out of his house and lawn, Peter flaunts his newfound diplomatic immunity by ignoring a "Keep Off the Grass" sign (and singing a blatant parody of "U Can't Touch This").

Since he hadn't yet driven out of the building, when the security guards take him to wait for the police, he challenges them to show him the rule that says you can't drive a motorcycle in the casino. The guard smirks and pulls over a book of casino rules. Jump Cut to the guard slamming the book closed and saying, "He's right, let him go." Immediately afterwards another guard is hanging a sign, "No Motorcycle Riding on Casino Floor".

In a car chase between Jay and a studio exec in LA, the freeway sign reads "High-Speed Chases use Diamond Lane".
Jay talks to a cab driver. The driver (suitably foreign) says "Look at sign!" It reads "Driver knows only three words of English."
After Jay imagines the Statue of Liberty undressing for him, a policeman points at a sign reading "No fantasizing about statue".

Dexter's Laboratory:
A sign on a fence has a "stranger" drawn and a forbidden red line. A "stranger" looking exactly like it goes in, thus showing he was obviously breaking the law. Except he was actually a gardener.
Similarly, the door to Dexter's room has several signs that say or otherwise mean "No Dee-Dees". They're only there to let the audience know she doesn't read them.
