Stand-Up Comics Are Asking, What’s So Funny About Grief?

12 Funny Out-of-Office Messages That Will Make Your Co-Workers Chuckle

Life's too short for boring out-of-office messages

Planning some time off from work? Obviously, you have to let your co-workers, clients and others know the basics—how long you'll be gone and who to contact in your absence. That's just good email etiquette. And while you could simply set up your out-of-office message to say the necessary info, why be boring? There's enough snooze-worthy stuff to read in the world already, and crafting funny out-of-office messages will bring a smile to your co-workers' faces.

An out-of-office message is an automatic reply set up to respond to emails (and sometimes texts, Slack groups or other chats), letting people know that you'll be, well, somewhere that's not the office. First, make sure your message conveys the necessary information. From there, if you want to have a little fun with it, it's okay to inject a bit of office-appropriate humor.

Whether you're planning a wellness week or just a fun vacay, we've got the best funny out-of-office messages—plus examples you can copy and paste right into your email profile. For other entertaining inspo, check out these funny one-liners, work-from-home jokes and funny work memes.

"You've reached my out-of-office mission statement … totally not written by Ryan Reynolds the famous celebrity™."

Ryan Reynolds may not have written this, but he does own a large stake in Aviation Gin (the bottles are even engraved with his signature), and his sense of humor is legendary. This out-of-office message strikes all the right notes, including being informative while still being self-deprecating and hilarious. "After a long hour of work, I like to kick my slippers off and watch my wild dolphin swim in the moat"—sooo relatable!

And hey, we'll take an email from Ryan Reynolds any day, even if it is an automatic one. Don't miss these email mistakes that will make you squirm.

Example

Thank you for your interest in my company (that is not owned by Ryan Reynolds, the famous celebrity™)! You've reached my out-of-office mission statement.

As the owner of my company (who is not Ryan Reynolds, the famous celebrity™), my mission is to keep my business simple because isn't real happiness about simplicity?

Or at least isn't that what filthy rich people (like Ryan Reynolds, the famous celebrity™) like to say? For instance, after a long hour at work, I like to get home, kick my slippers off and watch my wild dolphin swim in the moat. There's nothing more relaxing than observing a wild dolphin at play in one's backyard, right? (Note: I stole this from Ryan Reynolds, the famous celebrity™. I do not have a dolphin. I've never even seen one in real life.)

Anyhow, for me, life isn't just about having my brain cryogenically frozen so I can be revived 200 years after the apocalypse to dance with the chosen few along the gilded path to Valhalla. It's probably about other stuff too.

Thoughtfully,

[Your Name], not Ryan Reynolds, the famous celebrity™

"You might remember me from such masterpieces as Going to a Doctor's Appointment That Definitely Is Not a Job Interview."

You probably shouldn't always put the honest, unvarnished truth in your out-of-office reply. So why not have a little fun and get creative with some hilarious possibilities that will have your co-workers guessing where you really went—and why? If your manager doesn't find it hilarious, maybe you should consider checking out these signs your boss hates you—and what to do about it.

Example

This is Bob.

You might remember me from such out-of-office message masterpieces as Going to a Doctor's Appointment That Definitely Is Not a Job Interview and Eek! There Is a Spider in My Ear!

This time it's [your reason], and I'll be back on [return date].

That's all I'll tell you for now, but watch for me in the upcoming debut of Out of Office: This Is Not a Hangover. It's Food Poisoning, I Swear. And be safe out there.
