17 Hysterically Inappropriate Greeting Cards

We've got 17 of the funniest inappropriate greeting cards for whatever occasion that might sneak up on you. From get-well cards, to wedding and retirement cards: we've got you covered.

"Some people overcome illness and injury with incredible grace..."

Please Feel Better Soon - A get-well card for those feeling under the weather. Everyone gets sick once in a while, others a bit more... dramatically than others. Inside is the punchline, "You're not one of them, please feel better soon."

"Congratu-f***ing-lations!"

Colorful Congrats - Written inside is, "You did a thing!" A congratulatory card for anyone who "does a thing" (whether or not you truly care about it).

"For richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health..."

Thoughts and Prayers - A perfect card for the newlyweds. Congratulate them for getting hitched. Warn them of all the things that lay ahead. "Till death do you part," is written on the inside with remnants of a devoured groom.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

That Stuff available at Restrained Grace - It’s not good to spread the virus, so spread tooshie cheeks instead.

Happy Birthday Wh*re available at Champion - Whether or not they’re a fan of the Real Housewives series, this oddly specific card has the potential to make a friend or loved one’s day.

Higher and Lower available at Social Design Club - Ah, the beauty of aging. This is what we refer to as a “negative correlation”.

Birthday Spanking available at Bang-Up Betty - Pretty much a perfect card for any man or woman in your life. Probably best to keep it away from the children, though…

Birthday Again available at Learke - Just kidding — we know their cat doesn’t care

The Greatest Gift of All from Alair Seattle - Can't think of an anniversary gift for your man? Use the kids! Carrying his children is the greatest gift, after all.

Festive Season available at Eight3five - Nope! It's not your regular “Happy Holidays” card. It has a little bit of, um... spice to it.

Ain’t So Bad available at Treehaus LA - Friendship is magical. Every crappy situation gets better with friends around. Send this appreciation card to that friend who turns your frown upside down!

"I can't wait to poop in your new toilet."

Can't Wait To Poop - A matte-finished happy housewarming card. Be the first to break their toilet in. It's not something you get to do every day.

"Welcome to your new sh*tty roomate."

Can We Keep It? - Congratulate them for their newborn with this brutally honest greeting card.

They say that having a child is like using a blender without the lid. Everything is just all over the place.

I’m Sorry You Graduated High School - Celebrate the high school grad in your life. This card summarizes all the great things they're about to experience.

Oh, the joy!

"Happy retirement! Enjoy bingo and the smell of piss."

Smell Of Piss - Such a merry time in your life when you don't have to worry about work. You can sit back, relax, enjoy playing games and watch your health degrade slowly. 

These are the golden years, kid!

"I'm sorry we fought. I hate it when you're wrong."

Sorry We Fought - Don't you just hate it when you have to apologize even though you know you're perfect and always right? Sometimes we have to be the bigger person.

"Do the damn thing."

Do the Damn Thing - Some people just keep putting things off. Here's a motivational card that should remind them to just do it. We're confident it'll work.

6 Inappropriate Thank You Cards

We're borderline obliged to say"thank you" to anyone who lends us a hand, but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun with it.

Here are 6 thank you cards to inappropriately say "thank you".

"Hey!"

The S#!t - It says, "Thanks for being the sh*t" inside. Everyone knows that being "the sh*t" means your awesomeness is indisputable. 

...if it weren't for the profanity, this card would be in the sweet section.

"Thank you for being the sh*t!"

A Crappy Card - If being "the sh*t" means being exceptional, then giving a sh*t means giving caring attention. "I appreciate you more than words (or red pandas handing each other poop) can say."

"You did something beneficial to me, so I bought you this card. We're even now."

We're Even Now - You should always pay it forward. This way we can all make the world a better place. Fair trade!

"Thank you"

Bad Words - Written inside is, "I appreciate you as much as I appreciate bad words (that's a lot)." A wonderful greeting card to give to someone who puts up with your sh*t.

"Even b*tches say thank you."

Even B*tches Say Thank You - Everyone is nice in their own way. Everyone appreciates someone else. If you do nice things to the wicked, even they may appreciate it.

"F*ck you*

The Original Anonymous F**K YOU Card - We saved the best for last. If you want to go the extra mile and show appreciation, look no further. Behold the most inappropriate card of them all.

While it can mean the exact opposite of thank you, it's a very expressive word that has a variety of meanings. 

We can even send this anonymously for you, so they'll never know who sent it to them 😉 Mwahahaha

16 Uplifting Inappropriate Sympathy Cards

Life occasionally craps on people you care about. Sometimes all they need is to know that someone cares. Here are 16 uplifting inappropriate sympathy cards that will bring a smile to their face (well... at least as inappropriate as a sympathy card can get without crossing some pretty delicate lines).

"Sorry life's sh*t sometimes."

Words of Comfort - When life feels unbearable, sometimes all we need is a little assurance that somebody is there for us. Inside are the comforting words, "When life feels unfair, remember that I'm always here for you."

Your Sunshine available at Presents of Mind - When your friend is sad or feeling guilty, but they probably shouldn’t be, here’s a great option to get them back on the right track.

Life Is Such A D*ck available at Centro Garden - It’s even more confusing when you’re a young teenager.

Was I referring to life, or unexpected erections? The world may never know.

Gets Hard For No Reason available at In Pursuit Mobile Boutique - For those of you who prefer a minimalist letterpress version of the card above, we’ve got you covered.

Was I referring to the card, or concealing an unexpected erection? Gotta keep ‘em guessing.

Proud of You available at Market Between the Mountains - Want to drop an f-bomb on your birthday card, but balance it out a little bit? Well do we have the card for you!

"I'm sorry this f***ing sucks. I promise not to use the words blessing or disguise."

Blessing or Disguise - Some people like to say that hard times are just blessings in disguise. Saying those words to someone in an unpleasant situation just might piss them off.

Here With You available at Crying Out Loud - Sometimes, we just have to remind our loved one that it's okay not to be okay, and that we wish we could take away their pain.

Let Me Punch available at Good For Her Soul - “Everything happens for a reason” might not be the best thing to say to someone who’s recently experienced a deep loss or other difficulty.

Instead, you can give them this card to let them know you’re ready to kick the a** of anyone who offers their condolences using this line.

"What doesn't kill us makes our drink stronger."

What Doesn’t Kill Us - The harder the times, the stiffer the drink. Give some encouragement that the tough times will pass. Sometimes with a little help from friends and drinks.

"If you can't make it better, you can laugh at it. Stupid shit happens. Erma Bombeck."

Bombeck - There's a saying that laughter is the best medicine. This quote by the great American humorist, Erma Bombeck, is the perfect encouragement. If a problem doesn't have a solution, then it's not a problem.

"F***"

F**k Everything - Sometimes you just need to stop giving a damn about everything. This sympathy card is great for reminding them to take a time off and stop caring for a while. We all need a break sometimes.

You can circle your word of choice for full effect.

"If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."

If You Want the Rainbow - Send some love with this card that features inspiring words from Ms. Dolly Parton. There's always a rainbow after the rain.

6 Cheerfully Inappropriate Father’s Day Cards

Fathers are often providers and protectors. We've collected 6 cheerfully inappropriate Father's Day cards for your good-humored dad.

"People who laugh at dad's joke."

Dad Joke Pie Chart - Dad jokes are often obvious and predictable puns. We don't laugh at the jokes because of the wit, we laugh because they think it's funny.

Sexy MF Card from Awakening Boutique - Did you think it was a Mother's Day card at first glance? Guess what, you're wrong! It’s a bit more… literal than that.
