Humorous Office Awards

Humorous Office Awards

The most humorous office awards are the ones that are also funny to the recipient. Here are some ideas for your workplace awards:

Embarrassing Moments at Work
A great source of inspiration for funny awards comes from some of the most embarrassing moments at work.

Whether it was walking into the wrong bathroom, wearing two different shoes to the office, or getting locked in the copy room, these humorous stories become the stuff of office legend.

At one Christmas office party I hosted for a propane gas company, a worker's truck had broken down. He pulled off the road and left the truck in the first available parking space. Turns out he left the truck right in front of... you guessed it - a strip club! 

His boss took pictures of the worker's truck in front of a strip club and they're still laughing about it nearly a year later. That story and picture will live on in office folklore forever. 

What humorous situations have happened at your workplace? 

Funny Quotes

Another great source of humorous office awards are funny quotes. The funniest quotes are typically misquotes. Perhaps your President hilariously mixed up the company slogan during a big motivational speech. Instant classic!

What was the funniest quote or misquote at your organization over the past year? 

Overused Phrases

Overused phrases are rampant in the workplace. They range from archaic industry jargon, to indecipherable acronyms, to "clever" phrases cooked up by management to motivate employees. 

A former boss of mine used a NASCAR-inspired quote in a big rallying speech - "Keep turning left." You can imagine the fun we had with that phrase. 

What overused phrase do your co-workers make fun of?

Funny Employee Recognition Awards

Funny Employee Recognition Awards

Fact: Employees love recognition. Most prefer positive recognition, but sometimes any recognition is a good thing.

The above photo is from a recent employee recognition program I hosted. I'm handing out the classic "TGIFriday's Award for most excited about the weekend". This recognition always gets a good response because every workplace has (at least) one person who can't wait to punch out on Friday.

This is also a great example of a funny employee recognition award that doesn't embarrass or overly poke fun at the recipient.

My awards are all about having fun without making fun.

"As far as more recognition goes, I am happy with the amount of love and respect I have received from other artists and the public. Of course, I would love more, and think I deserve it." - Suzi Quatro

Funny Work Awards

Funny Work Awards

FunAwards.com is well known for its collection of "Funny Office Awards". A few years ago, someone asked me if my "Funny Employee Awards" would work for companies not in an office environment. We don't want to leave out nurses, firefighters, restaurant staff, and all of the blue-collar folks out there working outside of an office environment.

The short answer is, yes - Funny Employee Awards does have a large selection of funny work awards for non-office personnel.

But truthfully, I did have office workers in mind when I wrote the first collection of awards a few years back. Since then, I have released "Funny Teacher Awards" and more recently "Funny Award Certificates".

I wrote Funny Awards Certificates as a more informal version of Funny Employee Awards. In an office environment or employee awards setting, managers and bosses must be mindful when poking fun. In a warehouse or blue-collar setting, coworkers might be more apt to let loose and really have fun with their fellow workers.

Funny Employee Awards purposely avoids potentially embarrassing personality traits or appearances. Funny Awards Certificates pushes the envelope a little further for workers who are more tight-knit and not afraid to have a little fun.

If you had to choose which funny work awards are best for you, here are my guidelines:

• Funny Employee Awards - for employees, volunteers and staff
• Funny Award Certificates - for family, friends, coworkers, and teammates

Or buy them both and you'll have funny work awards for everyone!

I got this nice review from a user in Australia this week:

"While surfing the internet to find some good certificates for my staff the only one which we really enjoyed was this site. Both myself and my assistant found them to be humorous. I would recommend this site to anyone." - Nellie H. Tullamarine, VIC, Australia
