Ah, the ex. Once your favorite person, now your favorite punchline.
Whether you parted ways in peace or stormed out like a soap opera finale, birthdays have a funny way of bringing them back to mind—especially when you’re torn between “Happy Birthday” and “Good luck finding someone as awesome as me.”
These funny birthday quotes for your ex hit that perfect balance: clever, not cruel; honest, not bitter; funny enough to send to friends, but maybe too honest to send to your ex (unless you’re feeling bold).
Whether you’re celebrating closure, revenge glow-ups, or just the comedy of it all, these quotes prove that laughter really is the best breakup medicine.
