30 Best Funny Gifts That Get a Real Laugh

The card game that made The Oatmeal's art famous on game nights. It is quick to teach, rounds take 15 minutes, and the illustrations alone get laughs, so it is a funny gift for families with kids as young as seven as well as adult friend groups.

The original is too much for Grandma's table; this edition is not. It keeps the fill-in-the-blank chaos but swaps the shock jokes for toilets, butts and family embarrassment, so teenagers and parents can roast each other over the holidays.

Best for friend groups who already communicate in memes. Pairing captions with photos and GIFs rewards knowing your audience, and the funniest rounds come from inside jokes. It is an easy gift for a roommate or a group-chat regular.

Half card game, half dodgeball with foam burritos. Nobody stays seated, and the laughing starts the first time someone gets hit across the room. A great funny gift for a family with competitive siblings.

Our best budget funny gift. For under $10 you get a game that makes everyone from age seven to seventy shout nonsense and slap the table. It fits in a stocking, plays eight, and is the one people buy a second copy of after playing at someone else's house.

The funny gift for a kid in the peak potty-humor years. A talking toilet cheers while everyone flicks foam poops at once, so even little siblings can play, and parents end up laughing despite themselves.

Our splurge pick, because it is an entire night of entertainment in a box. Ten sauces from the YouTube show, ordered mild to merciless, let a friend host their own wing challenge and film everyone's reactions. Best for the fan who quotes the show and loves spicy food.

Spin, eat, and hope you do not get the hottest bean. It is a cheap way to make a party funnier, and teenagers love filming each other's faces. Tuck it into a stocking or pair it with a card game.

The prank that has been ruining family dinners for decades. The remote works through walls from 100 feet, so a dad or uncle can hide it under a cousin's chair and keep a straight face. It is a gift that keeps paying out laughs for years.

It is a pickle. It farts. A hundred different ways. That is the whole joke, and it lands every time at a white elephant swap or in a teenager's stocking.

Record a coworker's catchphrase or a family in-joke and slap it at the perfect moment. Because it can be re-recorded, the gag evolves, which keeps it funny long after the gift exchange.

For the friend who will absolutely wear this to a family photo shoot, a bachelor party or a Monday morning meeting. It is cheap, ridiculous and very photogenic.

An inflatable dinosaur suit is the rare funny gift that gets used again and again: Halloween, fun runs, birthday surprises and every TikTok in between. Give it to the friend who is always first on the dance floor.

Everyone knows the unicorn ad, which is why this unwraps to big laughs. Then it quietly earns its place next to the toilet, making it a funny gift that is also a practical one for a dad or roommate.

For the golfer who already spends far too long in the bathroom with their phone. A mini green and putter fit around the toilet base, and it is a reliable crowd-pleaser in a Dirty Santa swap.

He looks ridiculous wearing it, which is the joke, and the sink stays clean, which is the gift. A great funny present for a bearded brother or partner, especially from the person who has been cleaning up the clippings.

The toilet bowl lights up in party colors when someone walks in at night. It gets a laugh when guests discover it and saves fumbling for the light switch at 3 a.m., which is why it suits a family with kids.

The funniest way to tell a coworker their job is stressful. It suction-cups to the desk and springs back after every punch, so they can work out a frustrating email before replying.

Titles like 'Chaos Coordinator' and 'Fixer of Everything' are the honest job descriptions that never make it onto LinkedIn. Three in a pack means they can rotate depending on the week.

Press the button and Bob Ross reassures you that there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents. It is a gentle, funny desk companion for a friend who needs reminding not to take work too seriously.

For the friend whose phone is 90 percent cat photos. The wild-eyed figure comes with six cats, so it is a loving roast she will proudly display on her shelf.

The Oatmeal's comic catalog of ominous cat behavior is laugh-out-loud funny for anyone who has woken to a cat sitting on their chest. Pair it with the action figure for a full cat-owner roast.

For the dad who already tells too many puns, a fresh supply. It is a funny gift for the family as much as for him, because they will hear every one of these at dinner.

A cheeky label on a candle that actually smells good. It is an easy funny housewarming gift for a friend who is somewhere between self-care and chaos.

Funny and comfortable is a rare combination. These cloud-soft slides look like a shark eating your feet, and people wear them to the pool, around the house and on the school run.

Our mid-price top pick because it gets two laughs: one when it is unwrapped and one a week later when Bob's green afro sprouts. Nostalgic, harmless and funny to every age group, it suits a coworker or a parent equally well.

Eight pairs means a daily sock joke through the holidays, or eight small gifts to share among cousins. The sayings on the soles show up every time someone puts their feet up.

Grown adults who still order dino nuggets will love these. Three couch pillows shaped like the childhood classic are a funny gift for a college student or a first apartment.

The printed mustache lines up with your lip on every sip, which is funnier in person than it sounds. A cheap, cheerful gift for a beer-loving friend who appreciates a pun.

Sasquatch kidnapping three garden gnomes is a story nobody can walk past without laughing. It is a great funny gift for a gardener, or for anyone who claims to have seen Bigfoot once.
