Yearbook quotes: funny, silly, and downright hilarious ideas to try.
Craft hilarious yearbook quotes that stand out.
What is a yearbook quote, and why do we love it when they’re funny?
Yearbook quotes are the last words you leave behind in print before everyone moves on to new adventures. The yearbook is a book containing photos of all the students graduating or completing a particular year, usually the end of their school life. Underneath each student’s photo is a short quote that captures the mood or spirit of the student. When they’re funny, they show personality and make people look back fondly years later. Here are some top examples that always crack a smile.
Use Adobe Express to design quote graphics for your yearbook page. Pick a template, adjust colours, and add your quote in your favourite font. You can even turn your quote into a shareable post for your class social media pages.

Finding a good yearbook quote: choosing from witty one-liners to sarcastic anecdotes.
A good yearbook quote doesn’t need to be deep or profound; it needs to be memorable and to speak to the personality of the student. Whether it’s a quick one-liner or a sarcastic pun, the best quotes reflect your humour and style.
With Adobe Express, you can showcase your chosen quote in a standout layout. Add background photos, experiment with playful typefaces, and match colours to your school’s theme for a personal touch. Create your own personal photo collage book to celebrate the end of your school life. You can add photos of your friends and fellow students and ask them to sign your album and add more quotes in there, too.

Tips for writing your own funny yearbook quote.
When writing your own funny quote, think about what makes you laugh. Memes can be absolutely hilarious, but unless there’s a meme that really makes people think of you, try to avoid copying memes outright. Instead, try to think of a quote that summarises your school experience. Short, sharp lines often land better than long jokes. Examples include:
Once your quote is ready, turn it into a fun visual with Adobe Express. Choose from layouts designed for school events, graduation posters, and keepsake cards. Add school colours or emojis for a playful finish. Create your own meme or WhatsApp stickers with your end-of-school photo and your quote and send it to your friends. Browse templates for confused memes, disappointed memes, crying memes, and congratulations memes.

What to avoid when writing yearbook quotes.
Not all humour ages well. Avoid language that targets others, relies on inside jokes or could age poorly. Focus on humour that’s self-aware, not mean-spirited. Here are some funny yearbook quotes that are witty and self-deprecating but don’t sacrifice anyone’s dignity in the process of landing a good joke:

Classic funny yearbook quotes that will be quoted until the end of time.
Sometimes someone has already said the perfect quote, and you just can’t resist using it in your yearbook.

They’re funny, familiar, and filled with the kind of humour that never goes out of style.
As the school year wraps up, it’s not just about graduation day; it’s about celebrating how far you’ve come. Whether you’re designing a keepsake to capture shared memories or sending invites for the end-of-year ball, a well-chosen quote sets the tone. Adobe Express offers ready-made templates for everything from collage templates for yearbooks to disco ball posters.

Yearbook quotes are more than just words on a page; they’re a snapshot of who you were at that moment in time. They capture the laughter, chaos, friendships, and challenges that shaped your school years. The best photos and quotes will go into the yearbook, but if you want to go one step further, you can create your own digital scrapbook for people to add more. Design and print your own flyers and posters to put up around school or campus, then add QR codes that link to your digital scrapbook where people can submit funny photos and quotes. If you’re preparing to celebrate the end of your schooling, you can also create congratulations banners and congratulations cards for your fellow students.
