  1. buh says:

    a broomrape is a type of plant

  2. BloodyBlahBlah says:

    Of course it’s a dead end

  3. ... says:

    ROFLMAO!

  4. ryan says:

    “Meet me at the dead end of BroomRape, I’ll be the guy in the bushes!”

  5. Petruza says:

    Stop! or else you will end dead by a broom rape!

  6. loveloveshine says:

    I’d prefer a joint.

  7. knox says:

    the townspeople often questioned the decision to put the new school on the corner of broomrape and smoketree

  8. MIker says:

    Boomrape is a State prohibited weed in Australia

  9. ddk says:

    OMG! JUST 10 COMENTS o_O

  10. ErickB says:

    OMG !!1 ur not serius that is soooooo fake and photshopped! I can tell! LOOK AT THE PIXELS!!111!! eleventy-one
    *The preceding comment does not reflect the views of the commenter. He just felt he would go ahead and get it out of the way.*

  11. Pompa says:

    Sticks and stones may break my bones, but a broom will rape me!

  12. Blondie says:

    Wow. That can’t be real. Can it?! All I can say is… ouch.

  13. Thriller says:

    Avoid brooms at all costs in this street!!1!

  14. Sarcastik says:

    And the other street name is Smoketree… that explains a lot.

  15. TheCannyScot says:

    Why, yes, that *is* where the jail is. How did you know?

  16. Spotty says:

    What were they thinking?!

    • Loz says:

      Probably “hmm… this is different…”

      • Skwerlly Bob says:

        [ SCENE: Street Sign Dept Employees reading the "Guide to Arizona Indigenous Plants" ]

        Ralph: Wow! I’m glad we applied for that joint at the bank, hee hee hee, *inhales*
        Carmen: Yeah, now we need a new Street Name starting with “B”. I see Bunchgrass, Broomrape, Beavertail Cactus and Buckhorn Cholla which *inhales* one you guys like?
        Ralph: *Exhales* Buck Horny whatever! he haa hee ahee!
        Jill: *Waves joint around* Buncha Grass! *inhales*
        Jesus: *Slaps Carmen’s ass* Beavertail is what I like!
        Ralph: ME TOO! *passes out*
        Carmen: *Hits Jesus’ in crotch with broom handle* Broomrape is what you’ll get!
        Jill: Hooray, *giggles*, for broom rape! *passes out*
        Carmen: Ok, it’s Broomrape then. I want munchies!

      • thepowerofblue says:

        But is it completely different?

  17. Nevermind says:

    This is sort of a double fail. The other street name on the side reads “Smoketree Rd.” Smoketrees are native to the southeastern United States. The actual tree in the picture, though, is a type of palm tree, which is native to the southWESTern United States.

    • Luke says:

      who in the right mind think its ok to call a plant broomrape?

    • Sheila says:

      That’s not true. Palm trees are native to tropical and sub-tropical climates. There are native palm trees along the Eastern coast that goes up into the Carolina’s at least and all along the gulf coast.

    • Ur_Retarded says:

      You are dumb.. the southeast palm trees are native there too… and btw, this picture was taken in Lake Havasu City, Az… retard

  18. scotteh says:

    I believe this street was named in tribute after a spell went horribly wrong at Hogwarts.

  19. Bo says:

    There ought to be a writing nearby on a toilet wall that says: The broom accidentally me.

  20. Jules says:

    Wow. This is the name of a real plant, but … sheesh. Seriously? They named a street this?

  21. SlowPoke says:

    The usual suspects have denied the charge.

  22. More Gore says:

    I like the “Smoketree” street better myself. Id much rather go down smoketree then broomrape

  23. Dr. Wu says:

    “Uh, I’m sorry, Ma’am, can you repeat your address one more time?”

  24. KneeofJustice says:

    Notice how the other sign says “Smoketree.”

  25. ydobon says:

    I’ve told them: call it Orobanche, but no, they wanted to have it the “uncomplicated” way. Everybody would pull jokes about Orobanache. Why is nobody listening to me? That was the last time I’ve been to the city council of Fuckingtown, Bonerland.

  26. fluffy the fish says:

    This is really disturbing. The intersection of Broomrape and Smoketree. Where is this town anyways? I need to avoid going there.

  27. Selkhit says:

    It’s not rape if you ask for it!

  28. yasure says:

    Macaroni and cheese is expensive because you have to use butter and milk too.

  29. Amanda says:

    Omg…I used to live up the road from that street. Thats funny.

  30. Aiia says:

    Bonus points for the fact that it’s a dead end.

  31. randomguy3 says:

    It almost looks like they just take a random five-letter word and shove it together with a random four-letter word to make street names…

  32. evilpoo says:

    you do know that this is how Jeffery Dahmer bit it in prision right. He was ambushed in the prision bathroom while cleaning and two inmates took his broom away, stuck it in his anus and kicked it into his upper torso.

  33. Mookie says:

    Brings to mind that Linda Blair movie…

  34. Oh no! This is wrong in so many ways.

  35. PROTEUS says:

    is that down the street from “Smashing my head with a 2X4 to gets me hot” Avenue?

  36. N/A says:

    i imagine somebody spelling his address to, say, courier

  37. Idiot Box says:

    Someone must have misheard the phrase “Get a room!”, which resulted in this street being named as it is.

  38. SlowPoke says:

    What if, she rang the broom?

  39. leon says:

    can someone explain? didn’t get it…

  40. knot yake says:

    Is this the opposite of a clean sweep?

  41. jazzy says:

    WHAT. THE. FUCK.

  42. SlowPoke says:

    Broom ‘ER rang

  43. chez says:

    I’d have to say, as ways to keep the tourists out go, this is a WIN!

  44. Crucial says:

    Anyone realize the other street is Smoketree?

  45. M says:

    Well, if you find “broomrape” interesting, what about “naked broomrape”, “hairy broomrape”, “carrot broomrape”, and “ox tongue broomrape”? Gets the imagination going, doesn’t it.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broomrape

    What town names its streets after parasitic plants anyway?

  46. ©2008 says:

    Broom win?

  47. badcat says:

    Summer home of the NYPD.

  48. Gwyddia says:

    As per Google Maps, Broomrape Ln. is in Lake Havasu City, AZ. Please note that this is the same city where they transplanted the London Bridge.

  49. Rheanna says:

    the irony of it being a dead end street too…

  50. Alexandre says:

    Not fail in here. The both, smoketree and broomrape, are a kind of plants.

  51. TPHTWPE says:

    Probably too late to reply, but this gives a new meaning to that “Find your porn name” game. First pet and street name. Imagine, I’d be Daisy Broomrape…….*shudder*……..

  52. thepowerofblue says:

    Welcome to the bottom of the comments section. This section is devoted to all those geniuses who scrolled all the way to the bottom of the page to add a comment without reading what had already been said, only to say something that had already been said. You will find no wit or humor down here, just redundancy.

  53. nope says:

    pretty much grew up in havasu. the whore of the town literally lived at the end of this street. it made it so much better.

    smoketree is also a school. and if you go all the way down it ends at the park/lake. random facts for nothin.

  54. noobenforcer says:

    Mmmm! Maybe you should have taken a pole.

  55. Mookie says:

    Does anyone know where this is?

  56. JM says:

    Well, according to Wikipedia, there’s a place in England called Gropecunt Lane, and is apparently one of the first times the c-word was used in the English language.

  57. eflnefwlnweflnefwlnefwkln says:

    WAHAHAHAHAHA!

  58. Andrea says:

    This is the BEST named street in Lake Havasu City, AZ!!!

  59. Nick1693 says:

    Living on the corner of Smoketree and Broomrape?

  60. Jujube says:

    Giant Gummy Bears. On a steeck.

  61. brent eckland says:

    lake havasu city, arizona prevails again

  62. i’ll be its hard to get a pizza delivered to the corner of Broomrape and Smoketree.

  63. Draik Sith says:

    Unknown to most, this is how J.K. Rowling originally envisioned quidditch.

  64. Bean says:

    Ah yes. Good ole Broomrape. I lulz every time I drive by it. Sadly, this is only one of many horribly named streets in Lake Havasu. I guess it’s not surprising coming from a town in Arizona that inhabits the actual London Bridge…because the London Bridge holds so much significance here…

  65. Brandon says:

    This is in Lake Havasu City, Az

  66. typaige says:

    Havasu has two weird street names..

    Broomrape & Charring Cross

  67. Brian says:

    It actually makes sense, because when you smoke trees it makes you want to rape brooms. Right? Am I alone on that am I?

  68. Tony says:

    Okay, but the cross street, Smoketree, RAWKS!

  69. Jennifer says:

    lol “dead end”

  70. Jennifer says:

    if it didnt say dead end it wouldnt be as funny lol!

  71. munchy365 says:

    raping brooms is a dead-end road, my friend.

  72. Slylock says:

    The Corner of Smoketree St and Broomrape Lane are in Arizona, viewable from Google StreetViews, but there aren’t any views clear enough.

  73. Vrael says:

    sounds like a place to avoid -swerves car into another road-

  74. ron says:

    The name of your street!

  75. Jenna says:

    I grew up on Broomrape Ln. in LHC, AZ

  76. MilkyStinks says:

    Behind Broomrape is Smoketree, no doubt the people who made these signs were smoking some bad-ass tree.

  77. 357 says:

    OMG I LIVE IN HAVASU. I KNOW WHERE THIS STREET IS. LOL.

  78. Archer785 says:

    Am I the only one who noticed the other road was Smoketree? that has to be a Win

  79. dcdubbsty- says:

    its in Lake Havisu City- I saw it and could not believe it

  80. SgtLion says:

    OH MY GAAAAH

  81. I have H1N1 says:

    better keep my eye on the broom for a while…before someone rapes it!

  82. doubleG says:

    why is it a fail???
    broomrape is a kind of bloom

  83. abcd says:

    boom headshot! beter replace now

  84. Azn says:

    I used to live in that town :0!

  85. Jamila says:

    “Dead End”, well, that makes sense.

  86. Taylor Void says:
