Let's be honest — most "funny" birthday wishes you find online aren't actually funny. They're the digital equivalent of your uncle's dad jokes. This list is different. These are genuinely funny birthday wishes that will make people actually laugh out loud, not just politely smile.

Use these at your own risk. Best deployed against people who can take a joke:

- "You're not old. You're just... a classic. Like a vintage car. That doesn't start on the first try."
- "Happy Birthday! Don't worry about getting older. Worry about getting weirder. Oh wait, too late."
- "I was going to make you a birthday cake, but then I remembered your diet. So here's a text. You're welcome."
- "Happy Birthday to someone who is old enough to know better but still young enough to get away with it!"
- "Congratulations! You've now reached the age where your back goes out more than you do."
