11 Witty Dark Humor Greeting Cards
We've found several creative, universally-appealing dark humor greeting cards for you.
If you want to say (in the weirdest way possible) thank you, congratulations, or a simple "I'm thinking of you," you're in the right place.
A Crappy Card - Not many people these days give a crap about each other. Inside reads "I appreciate you more than words (or red pandas handing each other poop) can say."
We hope you have tons of people in your life that do.
Burying the Lede - Inside reads, "The good, the bad, the happy, the sad. I'm just glad I made them with you," with a picture of the two hamsters from the cover burying a body.
A suitable pick to give to that one you share a dark secret with.
Token of Poverty available at Sq/Ft Decatur - Tell them “I couldn’t afford a gift” without telling them “I couldn’t afford a gift”.
Pumpkin and Spice available at Stocklist Goods - For those of us who know that Pumpkin Spice doesn’t improve everything, or quite possibly, anything.
Trash Can available at My Other Child - Okay, maybe your recipient is actually rubbish but so what? They’re not completely worthless. Just like they say, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”
Colorful Congrats - Simple congratulations are just so common that they don't seem sincere most of the time. Give it a little kick to show them you mean it. Inside reads "You did a thing!".
An excellent card to congratulate them for any life event worth celebrating.
Surprised You’re Still Here from Digs - Ah... 60! The age of doctors' appointments, hip pains, and of course, the imminent arrival of the grim. Not everyone would find this card entertaining, but any friend who shares your humor is in for a good laugh.
Can We Keep It? - A good card to give to those with a newborn. The line, "Cherish all the memories along the way," is written on the inside with a photo collage of a growing up joey (baby kangaroo).
The Worst is Yet to Come! - If they think life is hard now, here's some news for them: The worst is yet to come! Enjoy the "good times" while they last.
Voodoo Doll - Let them know that you're thinking of them... but in what way? The fun part is leaving it up to them to guess.
Ouija Board - Been putting off that phone call or postponing hangouts? This greeting card is a helpful reminder that the last conversation you had with each other may be the last one E-V-E-R.
14 of the Darkest Humor Birthday Cards
Birthdays can be one of the darkest occasions ever. Unless you're talking to Benjamin Button, who enjoys aging?
Of course, birthdays can be fun, and here are some birthday cards that can make the day more enjoyable.
Party Pooper - Haven't you ever wondered why we celebrate getting older? Aren't we all just a decaying mass of flesh that deteriorates every year?
Want Some Cake? - Life's too short? More like death is too random. The inside reads, "Good luck surviving another one. Happy birthday," with a picture of the T-Rex from the cover squashed by the cake.
A Gift - It says "I hope you get a lot of gifts" inside. Perfect for the ones who love cats and hate rats.
Got This For You available at Batterby House - Cats show their love for us… differently. This card’s perfect for any friend or loved one whose love language is just as unique.
Finishing Touches available at Pygmy Hippo Shop - It’s a birthday cake and a funeral cake wrapped into one. What a great value!
Long Way, Baby! Available at Naked City Clothing - Inching towards the anxious arms of death from the moment we’re all born!
Aren’t You Tired? available at Dude Bro Man Gifts - For that dark-humored friend who’s ready and waiting for the warm embrace of eternal slumber.

Ur Not Dead - Well, that's definitely something to celebrate! This handmade birthday card is eco-friendly... just like your corpse will be in the future.
Party Hard by Paper Luxe - Another year older doesn't necessarily mean they're closer to using a walker.

Dog Years - There's nothing darker than dead dog jokes. A perfect birthday card for your loved one with the sickest sense of humor.
Glad You’re not Unalive from River City - This is a pretty straight-up card. If someone's birthday is coming up, send them this card to let them know you're glad they made it another year (although it's a bit surprising).
Tell them to keep it up so you can send the same card next year and every year thereafter.

5 Clever Dark Humor Christmas Cards

Killer Christmas - A Ted Bundy themed card. Christmas can't get any darker than with this guy. Wish them a merry serial killer Christmas with this great pick.
