We’ve all sent a text or two that made us chuckle before we hit send, but it’s not often that the person on the other end finds them as funny as we do. Some people bring their A-game when it comes to hilarious messages—and sometimes it’s not even on purpose.
From dad humor and silly photos to savage burns and dirty jokes, these are some of the funniest texts ever sent. Prepare to have a good laugh!
Check Mate
Getting your feelings across over text can be hard. There’s no guarantee that the recipient of your message will understand the tone in which you meant to send it, and that can cause even more problems.
This text thread has some of the most chaotic energy we’ve ever seen. That’s certainly one way to avoid having an awkward conversation, right? They can just talk about it after a game of Message chess.
Toadally Huge
It’s always nice to receive a text from a loved one out of the blue. Sometimes, all it takes is a person checking in and saying hi to turn a bad day around. Or, in this case, sending a photo of this abnormally large frog is sure to distract you from whatever you were doing before.
There’s something seriously menacing and mischievous about this giant toad—perhaps it’s better not to have any context about why they sent it.
Stray Coconut
You never know what you might find whilst walking down the street. Whether it’s a piece of furniture someone’s trying to get rid of, old clothes in need of a second home, or in this person’s case, a stray coconut, there can be some real gems out there—if you’re willing to risk the consequences.
We’re glad these two could work out their differences over text. It’s good to see healthy communication like this, even when it’s over something as silly as a street coconut.
Good Moo’s
A picture says a thousand words. Thanks to the magic of technology, there’s now a GIF or reaction photo fit for any and every occasion, so there’s really no need to say any words at all.
Sometimes, a photo can even say it better than you could ever put into words. This dad thought he was funny by responding to his kid’s good news with a dad joke in meme format. To be fair, it did make us chuckle. Dad jokes for the win!
The Destroyer
It’s always awkward when you find an unsaved number in your contacts and have no recollection of saving it, or who it could be. It’s pretty likely that it’s either an online date that went to the texting graveyard or someone unremarkable you met one time.
The next time that happens, this is the best way to scare someone off that you don’t want to talk to. Beware Abaddon the Destroyer.
Special Character
Security on the internet is no joke. In order to prevent your various accounts from getting hacked these days, you need to have the most elaborate passwords complete with uppercase, lowercase, and special characters.
This is a classic example of dad humor at its best. If he wanted his password to be really secure, though, he’d need a number, too. How about Chicken Kiev Pi?
Don’t Carrot All
If you have a brother, boyfriend, or husband, you’ll be all too familiar with the constant silly dares and requests that they constantly come up with. While we don’t know for certain that this was from a guy, this is the kind of text only a prankster husband would concoct.
Even though it looks a little strange, this carrot probably tastes just fine—so the bet would be worth it. But a freaky carrot covered in Tabasco? That’s got to be worth more than a dollar.
Web Designer
When it comes to building websites, it’s not one size fits all. There are tons of different technological factors that go into making one before you can decide how much to charge.
While the dad was clearly looking to get his kid a sweet new little job, it doesn’t quite work like that. We’re struggling to tell if this is a dad joke or a technologically challenged comment.
Boys Will Be Boys
Boys are known for being crude and potty-mouthed. Upon hearing that their girl is about to bear all and hop in the shower, most guys would probably request a picture that’s less safe for work—but not this guy.
He had a much more innocent request and just wanted to see his girlfriend being goofy. If you ask us, it’s much more wholesome than the alternative. Is that why they’ve started making phones waterproof nowadays?
Doggone It!
You never quite know what you’re gonna get when you have an older family member in your group chat. It often takes a wealth of patience to teach the older generation how to tackle technological feats like sharing photos or texting.
While this is certainly not the time to be bragging about your cooking skills, we have to admit, that does look like an excellent plate of brisket. But back to the point—it’s not the time, Grandpa!
Natural Light
Moving in with a partner is always an exciting step. It’s the chance to spend more time together and see how you can combine your personal tastes to create the perfect home as a pair.
It’s times like these when we see just how different men’s and women’s minds work. Even when this girlfriend explained what she was asking, her man still only had one thing on his mind. Classic
Diet Starts Tomorrow
Eggs can be a super healthy breakfast choice and a great source of protein, especially for people who are trying to watch what they’re eating.
Unfortunately, dieticians will most likely tell you that despite the similarity in shape, chocolate eggs don’t actually count in the same category. Hey, it might not have been the best breakfast choice, but you can always try again tomorrow.
This Couldn’t Wait
It’s always refreshing when you know that you can ask your significant other any questions, no holds barred. We’re glad to see that this girl has a safety setting that prevents her from receiving texts while driving, but burritos are no joke—especially in this relationship.
Her boyfriend clearly knew he’d get into trouble if he didn’t get his girlfriend’s food order the way she liked it. This is practically the only instance we can think of that would require her to immediately pull over.
Grapes of Wrath
Getting a text that was clearly meant for someone else is always a little bit anxiety-inducing. Somehow, it can make you feel like you’ve done something wrong, even when it was never meant for you in the first place.
Sending an ominous bunch of grapes is certainly one way to get someone’s attention. Now we seriously need the context about this warning, but something tells us we’re just going to have to keep on wondering.
You Moth Be Kidding
Most people are scared of insects, but there comes a moment when we all have to learn how to suck it up and deal with them. Not while we’re still living under our parents’ roof, though.
As long as you have your dad to protect you, you don’t have to worry about killing moths and other bugs—unless the guy who sent this text happens to be your dad.
Finding Nemo
There are some kinds of people who love nothing more than getting deep into the really important questions in life. They could talk for hours about their hopes, dreams, fears, and everything in between.
We’re here to tell you that your fears, however big or small, are valid. But that being said, surely this disappointed-looking fish cannot be this person’s biggest worry out of all the possible things in the world?
Rent is Due
A harmless April Fools’ joke that lands well can be hilarious. Plastic wrap over a door, TP’ing someone’s house—those things, we have to admit, are kinda funny every time. But when it comes from someone you wouldn’t expect a prank from, an April Fools’ prank can be a real day-ruiner.
One person we wouldn’t expect to have such a sense of humor is a landlord. This would have been funny if it wasn’t so devastating.
The Plot Chickens
They say that less is more. You don’t always need to overdo it with context and details in most conversations because there is definitely such a thing as overkill.
This exchange, on the other hand, is one situation in which a little more information would definitely be appreciated. If this was our mom, we’d be on the phone right away to get to the bottom of these strange messages.
Guess What?
To some people, a little surprise every now and again is exciting but for others, it’s their absolute worst nightmare. Just making them guess something unknown is enough to incite anxiety within them.
It’s safe to say that even the people who’d consider themselves surprise lovers would be deeply disturbed by this kind of surprise. This is the one way you should never deliver bad news.
Off the Chain
When you’re driving in the car and you see a bunch of cows, you probably can’t help but say “cows” out loud, right? There’s no real explanation why we do it—it’s just a quintessential part of the human experience.
This person had the same reaction after seeing a group of toddlers being herded through the streets and it was so visceral they forgot what they were meant to be replying to for a second. It’s okay, we’ve all been there.
That’s All You Need to Know
In this day and age, not a lot of people would actually say that they have hobbies that they’re doing regularly. Life is so exhausting and tiring that the moment we have time to ourselves, we’re probably spending it scrolling through social media or napping.
This person isn’t focusing on their big life goals, only the present moment. To them, Parks and Recreation is so much more than just a TV show—it’s a way of life.
Street Name
Anytime you need to come up with a fake name, for whatever it is you’re creating a new persona for, the first thing you usually go to for inspiration is the street you grew up on or the last thing you ate.
Poor Mark over here clearly got the wrong end of the stick—and we can see why he got confused. It’s easy to confuse your rapper name with your address.
Are You Kitten?
Landlords are a difficult bunch. Much like your family, you usually can’t choose your landlords so you just have to hope you land a good one who understands your requests and has reasonable demands.
How could anyone possibly say no to that face? This cat looks like a real gentleman. Anyone would be mad not to allow this little guy to stay in their property. He definitely wouldn’t throw parties or wreck the furniture.
Life Hack
Back in the day, most phones had actual buttons to type and click with. When touchscreens came along, they changed everything and it’s never been easier to connect with people.
This person’s genius discovery really got us thinking. Maybe there are a whole host of things that can act as a stylus pen for our phones. What’s next—pizza, a piece of fruit? The possibilities are endless.
Just Purrfect
If there’s one thing that unites the internet more than anything else, it’s cats. They are so funny and mysterious all at the same time, and we can’t help but love them.
We have a lot of follow-up questions for the people over at the Cult of the Sacred Cat and Wheat. If there really is a religion out there that just celebrates a mystical cat who can stand like a human, someone has to let us know because we would love to see it.
Right the First Time
The purity of gold is measured in karats, and it goes on a scale up to the purest possible gold, 24-karat. That would make a two-karat gold ring pretty valuable, but this is no ordinary ring.
If we can tell one thing for sure, it’s that this person’s mom has an excellent sense of humor. This ring has the type of value that money can’t buy—comedic value.
Awkward Promposal
Being asked to be someone’s prom date is a huge deal. People go to the most elaborate lengths to ask the big question, whereas this guy went for a more low-stakes yet somewhat gross approach.
We would love to see a little more enthusiasm from Allie, to be honest. Come on, girl, they’ve gone to all the effort of spelling out the word “Prom?” in cookies and that’s your response?
All Bark, No Bite
The definition of what makes something funny varies so much from person to person. When you find the kind of people in your life who really understand your own sense of humor, that’s when you can truly unleash your best jokes.
We have to admit that this is an excellent pun, but we’re also slightly concerned about how this picture of a dog in a completely wrecked car came to be.
Problem-Solver
Men have a reputation for withholding their feelings or struggling to understand the way women’s brains work. So it makes a refreshing change whenever we see a guy who’s a little more emotionally aware—like this guy who really understands what losing your shawarma feels like.
t’s clear that Cassie’s boyfriend has either been in therapy himself or just really understands how her mind works. Round of applause for this guy!
Big Kids
We know that dads love playing with their toys—be it a grill, barbecue, or gadget. But usually, they’re things that’ll be helpful around the house or for the entire family—not a lightsaber!
These notifications are a perfect representation of the differences between moms and dads. It only goes to show that dads never really grow up and they’re just big kids, after all.
Not the Time
Moms and social media are a hilarious combination. Whether it’s forwarding strange chain mail, or using the wrong emojis in the wrong situation, there’s always laughs.
While it’s probably not the best time to be experimenting with the latest features on your phone, this would certainly bring an awkward smile during a difficult time. Maybe all news should be delivered like this from now on.
Shrek is Life
The hold that the movie Shrek has on the young people of today is a phenomenon that seriously needs to be studied. What was intended to be a lovable ogre character in an animated movie has become so much more—and now it’s even a cult, by the looks of this picture.
We can only imagine the chaos of a text like this getting into the wrong hands. It looks like without even trying, they’ve almost recruited another member to the gang.
Rice, Rice, Baby
When cooking, it can be so much more fun to get creative and stray from the recipe with your own personal flair to create something that’s more to your taste. But there’s a limit to how much imagination should go into cooking, otherwise, you’ll end up with something like this.
Some people just have far too much time on their hands—there is simply no way that Gatorade rice is appetizing to even the most adventurous eater.
We’ll Never Know
Memes have taken over the internet. For every situation, you can find the most perfect meme and it’s only thanks to the hilariously messed up minds of the people of the internet that we always have fresh, new memes to laugh at.
This person, whether they’re Grant, Patrick, or a mystery other person, clearly has a knack for two things—making memes, and being cryptic. If he really is Grant, we’ll never know.
Words of Affirmation
For people whose love language is words of affirmation, all it takes is a simple message of reassurance to relieve their anxieties and let them know that they’re not going through tough things alone.
This person thought that someone out there had their backm when really it was just their Uber driver all along. Perhaps they can provide some much-needed therapy during the journey.
Second Chance
They say that with relationships, the ones who disappear or leave your life in strange circumstances always come crawling back. You might not agree, but it’s probably only because that one person you’re thinking about hasn’t come back to you—yet.
This person either has no shame or genuinely has just blocked this embarrassing story out of their mind. Those are the only two possible explanations here.
Road Rage
Everyone knows that texting and driving is a big no-no. Not only that, but it’s illegal. That’s why there’s now a feature that allows you to text with your voice so you can concentrate on something else at the same time.
It doesn’t always work, and this is a perfect example. Whatever this mom meant to say, she was too busy having a bout of road rage to say it.
World’s Tiniest Violin
One of the strangest things about texting is that it gives just about anyone who happens to have your number access to talk to you whenever they want. Granted, you don’t always have to reply, but this can still bring unwanted people back into your life.
Instead of just blocking someone outright, if you’re fed up with what they’re saying, you can always hit them with a devastating meme like this one, and they’ll be sure to delete your number.
Call Your Mom
Kids leaving the nest and going off into their adult lives is one of the hardest things that comes with being a parent. That’s why moms classically all have the same complaint—that their kids never call them enough.
This person was clearly talking to the wrong person, which made things awkward. Moms are known for being able to talk for hours about nothing, too—we’ve all been there. At least this person finally gave their poor mom a call!
Give Me Space
Texting is something that almost every person in today’s world is doing without even thinking about. It’s become such a normal thing in society that the idea of someone not being able to text is almost foreign to us.
Whoever “pops” is, we love that he is clearly doing his best to be a part of today’s generation by trying to learn how to text. When you get that space bar figured out, you’ll be golden, pops!
Oh, Lord
The days of talking on the phone seem to be far behind us. In phone conversations, it would be weird to jump into a conversation without taking the time to say “hi” first. So why is it different over text?
This Lord of the Rings fan could have avoided the entire awkward encounter if only they had sent an opening message just to make sure they were talking to the right person.
Got Beef?
Sometimes, the way people phrase things has two meanings, and that can get lost in translation—especially when you’re texting. Maddie received an ominous message that appeared to be asking her to fight, and she wasn’t having any of it.
It turns out that it was only her grandma, who definitely wouldn’t have known that asking if you’ve “got beef” is essentially asking for trouble. Now you’ve upset Grandma, Maddie!
New Sales Technique
When you’re buying something second-hand from the internet, it’s always a little awkward arranging to come see the product or the logistics of the handover. You are dealing with a stranger, after all.
That’s certainly one way to seduce someone into buying the product you’re selling. Look, this approach won’t work on everyone, but it’s definitely worth a shot.
Jump Scare
Receiving an unexpected text has the power to make your day, but that also means it could ruin your day. How would you feel if someone sent you a selfie with a Sonic the Hedgehog head on?
We have no idea who is sending this text, who it was for, or truly what would drive someone to do this. But we cannot deny that it really made us laugh. Or should we say it made us Chuckles?
That’s Nuts
Sharing accounts with your parents is one of the most genius life hacks there is. Why pay for things like Netflix or Amazon purchases with your own money when you can sneakily get them with your parents’ card and hope they don’t notice?
This person took mooching off their parents’ money to the next level. While it’s not exactly an essential purchase, we’d say it’s worth $57.
Eely Important Enquiry
Whenever you text someone out of the blue, there can be certain etiquette and rules to follow so it doesn’t come off rude that you’re popping up with a random question without saying hello first.
There is clearly no better way to break the ice than with a picture of an eel—that’ll be sure to get the recipient’s attention. We’re desperately trying to decipher the secret meaning behind this eel picture, but maybe it’s just better not to have any context at all.
Veggie Tales
Everybody expresses their love in different ways. For some, actions speak louder than words, while for others, it doesn’t get better than a sincere “I love you”.
We’re all for sharing our accomplishments and there is no doubt that a zucchini of this size and stature is absolutely worth celebrating. It makes the whole thing even better that this giant veggie is being held and shown off like a baby in a newborn photoshoot.
Bat to the Bone
If you’re anything like us, you appreciate the feeling of coming home after a long day and getting out of the constricting clothes you were wearing all day long, opting for something much more comfy like pajamas or a robe.
For any bat fanatics out there, this is clearly the perfect outfit to slip into as you’re hopping into bed with your lover. It might not be the most classically attractive look we’ve ever seen, but it sure does look cuddle-able.
Just Following Instructions
We’re constantly being warned that the things we do on the internet last forever. People get caught cheating through texts, and you can really put your foot in it if you’re found to be chatting with people you know you shouldn’t be.
This person was simply following the instructions they were given, by coming up with a genius codename for their dealer—we bet no one will suspect a thing.
Spooky Season
Chain mail had a serious hold on internet users back in the day. Plenty of adults still fall for it today! It’s not just emails being forwarded, now these wildly inappropriate spam messages have taken over texting, too.
This is one chain mail text that no one wants to receive, period—especially not from your mom. Just those emojis alone are enough to warrant blocking your mother from ever being able to text you again. Gross!
