Texting is one of my favourite things about the modern era, but why do I love it so much? Is it because I can contact my friends and family at the touch of a button? Is it because I don’t have to actually pick up the phone and talk to someone when I can write it into as few words as possible? Nope, it’s neither of those things. I love texting so much because of all of the unintentional comedy gold that comes from giving someone the ability to text, just like in these 30 hilarious text messages.
1. Teaching your Grandma how to text is a joy
You know what Grandma? Oklahoma to you too, you’re doing fabulously!
2. This guy has clearly never seen a cat in his life
That’s it, the next time I get a wrong number in contact with me, I’m going to send them so many pictures of my cat that they don’t know what to do with themselves.
3. Now that is a movie I would pay good money to watch!
The Lizard King, starring Hugh Jackman and Angelina Jolie, coming to a theatre near you this Spring!
4. If I had a cantaloupe that large I’d want to share it too!
Why so angry, random stranger, why don’t you just appreciate the cantaloupe for the marvel it is?
5. This is the only way to react to a text from your ex
You know what? I miss Oreo cereal too, where can I get me some of that?
6. Smooth, buddy, real smooth
Definitely nothing suspicious about that, nothing at all, not even a little bit.
7. Yes, this joke is juvenile. No, it will never get old.
This is why you should never leave your phone anywhere near your other half! And definitely never let them know your password!
8. Oh wow, that is absolutely filthy!
See? Told you it was filthy! Somebody put that in the sink and give it a wash!
9. Autocorrect has failed Nana so many times in just one text message.
I hear that One Dimention have got a new single out soon, it’s all about feeling flat.
10. Is this Google? I’m not sure what Google is, maybe this is Google.
Well? How make chicken? Why won’t you tell me how make chicken? It’s a simple request!
11. Wow, Mom’s a real big fan of acid
Okay Mom, we get it, you like acid!
Do you think Mom might want some acid? I think she’s after some acid.
Just when you think Mom was done with all the acid…
Turns out that Makenzie is a genius who had changed the words “dirty clothes” to acid in her Mom’s autocorrect. Well played, Makenzie, well played.
12. Never cross a moth, it won’t end well for you.
This is the epitome of Dad jokes, I’ll bet he was telling his Dad friends about this for months!
13. Sometimes your Dad knows exactly what you need, even if it is 1:15 AM
Yum yum, lightly fried fish fillets! Try saying that three times fast, lightly fried fish fillets, lightly fried fish fillets, lightly fried fish fillets!
14. Drunk Jess is just trying to look out for sober Jess in the best way she knows how.
Turns out, drunk Jess doesn’t know how to look after sober Jess at all.
15. Turns out that high Noah isn’t all that great either
Sure Noah, you’re in the way, now move… if you can!
16. Wow Dad, that is way too much information!
Please Dad, just stop talking about your penis, I don’t care how epic you think it is.
17. This is probably the most helpful wrong number text ever sent
Half of me wants to know who on earth you are, the other half of me wants to know what’s up with these amazingly cheap green beans!
18. It’s the little things in life, it really is.
But now I’m wondering how the deer got a taco in the first place? Do they serve deer at Taco Bell?
19. I love how this guy still thought it was Tina after all that, it’s clearly not Tina!
How many cats do I have? The only answer to this question is not enough.
20. Well let’s be honest with ourselves, who would really be disappointed if they had some pecan pie right now?
This is the sneakiest and best excuse to get some pecan pie I have ever encountered. Anyone else really want pecan pie now they’ve read this? I think I need some pecan pie!
21. Honestly, I don’t care who I was trying to text, if I get through to Dog then I’m going to have a much better day
Come on man, just let me talk to the adorable dog, it’s the only thing that’s getting me through today!
22. Well, she did tell you it was dark, what did you expect?
I feel like this is the best way to respond to anyone who wants you to send them naked selfies! This person is a genius!
23. Autocorrect strikes back: Attack of the Nyoom!
I love how all of the words are nyoom except for that one nugget that managed to sneak in there. Excellent work, internet person.
24. First rule of texting – Always, ALWAYS make sure you’re talking to the right person before you hit send!
I don’t think you could have found a more embarrassing thing to text to a total stranger, honestly! Part of me is wondering whether Kevin’s brother did this whole thing on purpose.
25. Another day, another grandma gets a new phone that she doesn’t know how to use.
Yeah, Grandma, I’m feeling pretty Massachusetts myself, thank you for asking!
26. If you ask a woman that you clearly don’t know what well for nudes and this is what she sends, you clearly deserved it.
I love how they zoom in a little bit every time they send it. It’s like he’s staring directly into your soul!
Moral of the story? Stop asking people you barely know to send you nude selfies, it’s not cool in any way and you deserve to have this creepy picture sent to you every second of the day.
27. Well, that is pretty freakin’ weird now that I think about it…
If someone asks how high you are and the only thing you can answer is ‘yes’, then it’s safe to say that you are extremely high.
28. Oh come on man, there was no way they meant that!
I’m not sure if this person really is that deluded, or whether they’re just so desperate that they wanted to jump on whatever chance they could get! Either way, there is no way that this person is giving anyone anything other than history notes.
29. Grandma’s at it again! At least she seems a little more used to texting than the other Grandmas… kind of.
If I told my Grandma about the nice snuggie I had and all she had to say was ‘Bog’ then I’d be pretty emotionally distressed by it, I must say!
30. I think Cole really needs to get the hint.
Sorry Cole, but you are way, way less interesting than a bowl of cereal. Sorry to be the one to break it to you, but it’s the truth.
