P.S. Note that "to live like there's no tomorrow" is a крылатое выражение in English -- and maybe that's why this poster seems a little bit funnier than the Russian example (because, as far as I know, there isn't a common expression about taking a vacation in the Maldives).

I agree. Like There's no Tomorrow makes it funny. The play on words is well done.

I think the Russian one in the right context can be funny. Similar to the "Работайте, негры, солнце ещё высоко!"
If it is screamed by a guy doing the work along with his comrades. Provides some funny insight on their hardship. . It all depends on the way it is delivered
