Hints & Tips


What are the best funny birthday wishes?

What are the best funny birthday wishes? What's funny to me may not be hilarious to you or, for that matter, the recipient of your funny birthday wishes.

A better question to ask yourself: Are funny birthday wishes the right type of birthday greetings to send to loved ones? That depends on their sense of humor. If they do not like jokes at their own expense, do not send them funny birthday wishes. If he or she has a funny bone, take the "funny" route.

Nevertheless, one of the best times to make people laugh at themselves is their birthday. But you don't want to go too far and offend someone. What's too far for funny birthday wishes?

Well, any age is fodder for humor. Funny birthday wishes, with a simple joke or witty turn of phrase, are enough to amuse anyone. But taking this line of humor too far can backfire. 

Still, funny birthday messages can be brutally honest about getting older, but only send them if you are certain that the birthday boy or girl has a thick skin. If you think that slightly nasty, funny birthday wishes will get a chuckle, go ahead and tease away.

Whatever type of funny birthday wishes you pick, the best ones aren't offensive to the recipient. Laughter is a gift, not a veiled way to insult someone special. After all, these funny birthday wishes are for somebody's birthday, someone's special day!

The best type of funny birthday wishes contain age-related subjects, such as forgetfulness, backaches, napping, deteriorating eyesight, wrinkles, even the lack of sex.

The worst funny birthday wishes have to do with the hang-ups of the birthday boy or girl. If you know what they are, make sure that your funny birthday wishes do not include them. If you don't know the birthday boy or girl, stay away from funny birthday wishes altogether, because there's always a chance you'll offend them (and you won't even know it...until you get snubbed by them).

If you still don't know which "humorous" route to take with your funny birthday wishes, find out what makes some things funny and not so funny now.

But keep in mind: If the birthday boy or girl can’t take even the slightest joke, forget about funny birthday wishes and go the sentimental, inspirational or cute route.



What are the best funny birthday memes?

One of the most original ways to make the birthday boy or girl laugh is with birthday memes. Why?

Many people use birthday memes as an alternative to overly sentimental greeting cards and eCards. Mostly, it's because birthday memes have a little bit of an edge, when it comes to humor, making them much less of a cliche than your average Hallmark or American Greetings card.

Birthday memes are also popular because they are easy to share. While you need to use snail mail to send a greeting card or email to send an eCard, you have many more options with birthday memes. You need only use the Facebook, Twitter or Instagram account to give your family and friends a big laugh.

One very important caveat: Some people will not understand or like the humor that normally shows up on birthday memes.

Generally, the safest bet for you is to send these images to friends and family who are very plugged into what's happening in the world. In other words, send birthday memes to people who stay tuned into pop culture. They understand and love the type of humor that appears on birthday memes (and are the most frequent users of social media, which is the best way to send birthday memes.

Above is new collection of the web's funniest and most original birthday memes to consider sending to that special someone celebrating a birthday.
