Choosing the perfect yearbook quote can feel like a surprisingly big decision. After all, it’s one little sentence that gets printed next to your photo and preserved forever—which suddenly makes coming up with something funny, memorable, and actually you feel a lot harder than it should.
But your yearbook quote doesn’t have to be deep, inspirational, or sound like you’ve figured out the meaning of life before graduation. Sometimes the best way to say goodbye to your school years is with a joke that makes your friends laugh every time they flip through the yearbook.
That’s why I’ve put together this collection of funny yearbook quotes for just about every sense of humor. You’ll find clever one-liners, sarcastic remarks, relatable jokes about surviving school, and plenty of completely unserious quotes for anyone who would rather get a laugh than leave everyone with words of wisdom.
Choose the quote that sounds most like your personality, or use these ideas as inspiration to come up with a hilarious yearbook quote of your own.
