30 Best Funny Gifts for Men He'll Laugh at and Keep

A whiskey drinker who hates watery bourbon will actually use these, and the cartridge shape gets a grin from anyone who spots them clinking in his glass. Stainless steel chills faster than soapstone, and the eight-piece gift box means he can share a round with friends. Funny, practical and very hard to get wrong.

For the guy planning a cruise, a beach weekend or a bachelor trip. Each flask looks exactly like a bottle of SPF 15 or SPF 30 and holds around five shots, so the joke is shared every time he pulls one out of the beach bag. Pair it with real sunscreen in the same gift so he has to guess which is which.

The shower beer is a sacred ritual for a lot of men, and most of them balance the can on the soap ledge. This suction-cup holder grips tile or glass and keeps a can, bottle or wine glass steady while he decompresses after a long day or a hard workout. It is funny to give and genuinely loved once installed.

Game day, tailgates and backyard cookouts are where this classic earns its keep. Two cans click into the side holders and the straws run down to his mouth, leaving his hands free for wings or a remote. It is gloriously dumb, and the friend who wears it will be in every photo of the party.

A small, solid opener for the fishing buddy who keeps a cooler in the boat. The antique-finish fish shape is a gentle joke rather than a loud one, and it is heavy enough to feel like a real tool. Under $10, it slips into a tackle box or stocking easily.

The label gets the laugh when he unwraps it, but the reason this is a top pick is what happens next: it becomes the shaker he reaches for every weekend. Chipotle, garlic and paprika give real smoky flavor on pork butt, ribs and burgers, and the 26-ounce tub outlasts any tiny gift-set jar. The rare joke gift that gets used up rather than put away.

Friday pizza night becomes a battle when he cuts it with an axe. The rocking carbon steel blade really does slice a full pie in one chop, the etched head and ash handle look the part, and the leather sheath means it can hang on the kitchen wall like a trophy. Ideal for the guy with a backyard pizza oven or a love of Norse history.

Takeout sushi or ramen with friends turns into a duel with these glowing chopsticks. For the Star Wars fan who orders in more than he cooks, they are a cheap, silly upgrade, and the tips unscrew so they can be washed between battles.

Every backyard pitmaster believes this line, so let him wear it. The cotton is thick enough to handle grease spatter, the pockets hold a thermometer and tongs, and the long ties fit bigger frames. Pair it with the Butt Rub above for a complete grill-master joke gift.

Five pounds of cherry gummy in one bear-shaped slab. It is the gift for the guy with a sweet tooth and a group of friends who will take turns hacking off a limb at the poker table. Excessive in the best way, and it disappears faster than you would think.

For the prankster with roommates or a guest bathroom. He records a six-second message, sound effect or song, and it plays back every time someone pulls a sheet. The best pranks are the ones that keep going for weeks, and this one does.

Squeeze the nose and soap oozes from the nostrils. It is juvenile, a little disgusting and perfect for the guy who never grew out of gross-out humor. At under $7 it makes a good add-on for a bathroom-themed prank bundle with the talking toilet roll.

Brush the sequins and Nicolas Cage appears on his couch. It is a quiet prank that waits for a date or a houseguest to idly run a hand across the cushion. For the movie fan with a deadpan sense of humor, it is a cheap and memorable living room upgrade.

For the man who wages war on backyard squirrels, this is a truce with a sense of humor. A squirrel climbs inside for the nuts and ends up wearing a horse mask, which looks completely absurd from the kitchen window. Great for a retired dad or grandpa who spends mornings watching the yard.

A garden gnome with attitude for the homeowner who mows a perfect lawn and has opinions about the neighbors. The weather-resistant resin can live in a flower bed, and it is small enough to sit on an office desk instead if his boss has a sense of humor.

For the golfer who takes his Saturday foursome very seriously. These look like ordinary balls on the tee and burst into a cloud of white powder when struck, so he can set one up for a playing partner and watch the reaction. Three in a sleeve means three separate rounds of revenge, and at about $12 it is an easy add-on to any golf gift.

Built for the friend group whose humor is too dark for most party games. Players finish three-panel Cyanide and Happiness comics, and the results are reliably awful in the funniest way. A strong pick for a brother or college friend who hosts game night.

Under the cartoon unicorns is a genuinely strategic card game about sabotaging your friends, and this adult edition adds raunchier cards and optional drinking rules. It suits the guy who likes a game with real decisions but does not want a three-hour board game.

Chess with stakes: capture a piece, drink the piece. For the guy who plays a casual game with friends over drinks, it turns a quiet board game into the loudest part of the night. When nobody is drinking, it still works as a standard chess set and a striking piece on the bar cart.

Every man of a certain age remembers the singing bass on a buddy's wall, and almost none of them still have one. This motion-activated version turns, flaps and sings "Take Me to the River" whenever someone walks by his desk or garage door. The pop-out easel means it does not need a wall, and the 3D keychain is a nice extra for the angler who will pretend to be annoyed by it.

For the engineer, history buff or bored office worker who has always wanted siege weaponry on his desk. It builds without glue in an evening, actually flings small projectiles, and looks handsome enough on a shelf that he will keep it out long after the first volley at a coworker's cubicle.

The perfect pet for the guy who travels too much, is allergic to everything or keeps killing houseplants. It comes in its own travel crate, needs no food or walks, and makes a dry joke that works especially well for a dad who was a kid in the seventies.

Leave it in his pantry or on his office shelf and wait. The illustrated tin looks just like a can of real meat until someone reads the label, and the pop-off lid reveals sliced plush unicorn. A dark little joke for the guy who loves the absurd.

For a 50th, 60th or retirement, this mug says what his family is already thinking. It is a gentle roast rather than a crude one, which makes it a safe pick from kids or grandkids, and he will use it every morning to make the point.

Ugly sweater party season is coming, and this one is a guaranteed contender: a full printed chest of hair with holiday trim. The stretchy, lightweight fabric means he will not overheat at a crowded office party, and it is cheap enough to wear once a year without guilt.

The packaging is the gag: a tiny pizza box that opens to four pairs of slice-themed socks. For the guy who thinks pizza is a food group, it is a fun unwrap and a useful drawer refill, and the size L fits most men's feet.

Each sock is shaped like a beer mug, complete with a fluffy foam cuff and a handle on the side. They are a small laugh for a craft beer fan's stocking or a Secret Santa swap at the office, and they cost less than a pint.

Hang it from his rearview mirror and his truck smells like a diner breakfast. It is the cheapest gift on this list and one of the most talked about, ideal for a coworker, a teenage son with his first car or anyone who believes bacon improves everything.

Real sterile, latex-free bandages that look like strips of bacon. For the guy who is always nicking a knuckle in the garage or on the grill, they are a joke that ends up in the first-aid kit and gets used. Fifty in a tin, so they last.

Wrap any real present in this box and he will spend a confused minute reading about a hat designed for cats before he finds what is actually inside. It is the easiest way to make even a sensible gift funny, and it works especially well on the guy who says he does not want anything.
