Okay, listen—funny quotes to brighten your day might sound like one of those Pinterest-y boards that includes stuff like “Dance like nobody’s watching”… but I promise, this is not that.
This is for people who’ve had cereal for dinner three nights in a row.
People who’ve texted “LOL” with a dead stare.
People who know that some days, if you don’t laugh, you might just throw your phone out the window.
Same.
So I started collecting funny quotes. Not in a like, organized spreadsheet kind of way. More like the “screenshot, forget, find it three months later in the middle of Walgreens, burst out laughing” kind of way.
☕ The Day I Knew Quotes Were My Therapy
One day—I think it was a Tuesday because I was crying in a CVS—I was standing in the toothpaste aisle, full-blown spiraling about absolutely nothing (probably my bank account and the fact that I’d forgotten deodorant again). I opened my phone and randomly saw a quote I’d saved from forever ago:
“Some people graduate with honors, I am just honored to graduate.” — Unknown
And I laughed. Out loud. Like, snort-laughed.
The guy near me looked up from the Q-tips and just gave me that “you good?” nod.
Anyway, that was the beginning of me collecting dumb, smart, relatable, ridiculous little quotes that are like warm blankets—but chaotic.
So here are my absolute favorite funny quotes to brighten your day. If they don’t make you smile, then you probably need two coffees and a hug. Or maybe just a nap.
