Funny happy birthday messages for friends or siblings.
A birthday is a day that should be full of joy, so laughter is heavily encouraged. Keep the recipient's sense of humour in mind as you compose your fun-filled greeting. You can share funny memories you've enjoyed together, personal jokes, or gently roast them on their age, provided they are not too sensitive about it!
