Top Funny Jokes Found On Greeting Cards

Greeting cards are often a great source of jokes, whether as photo captions or as funny puns and quotations. Jokes on these cards tend to come from the ironic juxtaposition of the situation and slogan, as well as from visual puns and plays on words. It can be hard to get a complex joke to work in a small format, so the majority of card jokes rely on simple forms of word play and striking images to make the most of creating an instant impression. Some of the best jokes and captions come from retro cards, cards themed around the office, and through rude jokes. Jokes of this kind can work well as part of e-cards that play off their images. Below are some examples:

1 - Office Cards 

The daily grind of the office has long been a source for card jokes that provide plays on words, and make use of old formats and captions to best sum up problems. Can be given as part of new job initiations, birthdays within the office, or leaving cards. It is probably best, though, to be careful about making sure that the person getting the card is on the joke as well

2 - Rude Cards 

Jokes on rude cards can cause some problems if you don’t know the other person well enough for them not to take offense. For the most part, however, rude cards can be a refreshing and tongue in cheek way to create a more memorable card. Jokes tend to work well by playing off captions, and using rude wordplay. Most people won’t find joke cards offensive, as long as they’re given knowing that the person will appreciate the joke.

3 - Retro Cards and Captions

Retro cards create a lot of opportunities to twist around a situation, and to make a funny play on worlds. Cards that use dated pictures are often great at being able to find unintentional humour, or to add captions to change the context of a situation. These cards can cover everything from seemingly sombre Victorian photographs, through to old adverts and unfortunate fashion trends. 

4 - Father’s Day 

Father’s Day cards are a good opportunity to make a lighthearted joke at their expense, while still making sure that the humour isn’t too cutting. Some of the best jokes are not being seen on E-Cards, which make use of captions and ironic humour.

5 - Birthday Cards

The best jokes for birthday cards can range from anything between puns with cartoons, through to ruder gags and captions. Another option is to use a humorous joke that deals with birthdays, which provide a memorable, but not too extreme joke.

6 - E-Cards

E-cards are now providing a lot of flexibility for people that want to send joke cards without having to spend much money. Cards can be exchanged via social networks, and can also be personalised for the receiver. These cards tend to cover the same ground as paper cards in terms of captions and irony, and are often Internet based.
