High school yearbooks are a fun way to look back on your time in school. Years from now you will reminisce on all the memories you made in those four years. The best way to be remembered in your yearbook is by having a funny quote. These high school seniors came up with the most hilarious quotes that will have you laughing for days. Take a look, have a laugh, and get some inspiration if you need a yearbook quote.
No One Noticed Her Haircut
This girl is definitely on the path to greatness! She's got the knack for turning a simple haircut into comedy gold, even when it's hidden under her hijab. With a sense of humor that's as sharp as her new 'do, she effortlessly makes everyone chuckle while poking fun at herself. It's not just about the haircut; it's about her ability to bring laughter and light wherever she goes. Watch out world, she's got the wit and charm to take on anything!
Her stylish hijab keeps her hair a secret, so even a bad haircut is her little mystery. We bet her hair is stunning beneath it all!
High School Will Be Fun, They Said
High school was a breeze, just like riding a bike—except the bike was ablaze, the ground was a fiery inferno, and everything around was a chaotic firestorm, basically like living in a never-ending episode of "Disaster Movie." But hold onto your helmet, Randey, because college is coming! Picture that bike transforming into a roaring motorcycle, and the fiery ground morphing into bubbling lava. It's going to be a wild ride, but hey, who doesn't love a good adventure?
Then, once you graduate college, it is even worse than a fiery hell. It's slow-burning and painful. Yeah, they never tell us how not fun adulthood is.
"We Are Not Related"
If you didn't know, we're here to tell you that the last name Nguyen is a very popular around the world. In fact, in Australia, it is the seventh most common family name! This explains why this Australian high school had four students with the same last name, yet, according to them, they are not related. In fact, they are so passionate about how unrelated they are, they put it into their yearbook.
It is cute that they all coordinated their yearbook quotes just so no one can look back and think that they are quadruplets. Putting all their quotes together, you get, "We are not related."
He Must Be Really Happy To Graduate
Sometimes, the best way to beat stereotypes is to embrace them and turn them into humor. After all, bullies won't pick on you if you've already hilariously picked on yourself. We're guessing this student was tired of his classmates making stereotype jokes all of high school, so he took the yearbook as a time to proudly embrace himself with a very funny and clever joke.
When you are happy, your eyes get all scrunched up. So this student wrote, "The happier we get, the less we see." Hilarious!
Never Use The Unforgivable Curses
This funny student named Damenian Sparks is clearly a Harry Potter fan. "I got kicked out of Hogwarts for using black magic," he hilariously wrote in his yearbook. His name does sound like a former Hogwarts student who was probably in Slytherin's house. He probably was trying to make some Horcruxes, and they realized he was the second coming of Voldemort and had to get rid of him and send him to muggle school!
Also, this reminds us of the Key and Peele skit when he takes attendance and says everyone's names wrong. The teacher has probably messed up this name before.
Her Positivity Is Refreshing
When you start laughing at yourself, there are few things that can actually offend you. We're not sure if this young lady is bald because she chose to shave her hair off or because of health reasons, but either way, we love the way she is humorously embracing her look! "I went through four years of high school without having a bad hair day," was her witty yearbook quote.
In our society today, everyone is obsessed with their looks and how they are seen on social media. This girl is a positive role model!
Sibling Rivalry
These sisters brought hteir sibling rivalry to their high school yearbook. One of the twins wrote, "I'm only 3.5 minutes younger." Next to her, her twin sister's quote reads, "... best 3.5 minutes of my life." Any older sibling, even if they are only older by a few minutes, would probably say the same thing — those times when they were an only child and had all their parent's attention were the best of times.
We'd crack up if we found this in our yearbook! If you are an older sibling, did you enjoy the time better before your siblings were born?
Don't Let Him Fool You
Have you ever received a spam email saying that a prince or princess from a foreign country needs you to help them by sending them money? Hopefully, you knew it was fake and didn't send money. But that's besides the point - this young man sure knew about those emails and used them to make a funny joke in his yearbook. "I'm that Nigerian Prince that keeps emailing you." he wrote.
No one else could pull off this joke like him, and it's so creative. The person next to him should have written, "I won't fall for that scam a Segun time."
If You Can't Laugh At Yourself, No One Can
Kids can be tough and, if we had to take a guess, we'd say this young man probably faced a lot of not-so-funny jokes about his ears throughout his life. But it seems like he's gotten to a point where he doesn't care about the haters and can laugh at himself. "I hear everything," he wrote, referencing his big ears. We love it and it almost sounds like a warning to his haters.
Don't try to whisper around him because he hears everything! And he means everything! So watch your mouth.
"It's Hard Being A Single Mother, Especially When You Have No Children And Are A Teenage Male."
This is the most random quote ever, but it is absolutely hilarious. How did he come up with this brilliant quote that will gown down in yearbook history? We have a feeling this guy was the class clown known around his school for being funny and silly. Who else could come up with a quote like this and actually have the guts to use it in their yearbook, imprinting it forever into history?
Years from now, his children will see this and wonder what their dad was thinking: "It's hard being a single mother, especially when you have no children and are a teenage male."
Professor Quirrell Is That You
A hijab is worn by some Muslim women to maintain modesty. And in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Professor Quirrell wore a head wrap to hide the fact that Voldemort had possessed him. After years in the public school system, it seems this young lady realized that her classmates know more about Harry Potter than they do about Islam. So, she decided to make a witty joke about it all.
"I hate having to explain to everyone why I wear a hijab but if everyone must know: Voldemort has possessed me and his face is living on the back of my head."
A "Can Do"Attitude
Wow, this guy should be a motivational speaker. He made being called trash a compliment. No one wants to be called trash, but now it is something positive. "Just because you're trash doesn't mean you can't do great things. It's called garbage can, not garbage cannot." Wow, we've never felt so inspired by a garbage can. We will never look at those bins the same way again.
We're not totally sure what he meant to say by this but, considering he started out by listing some fo his high school achievements, we're guessing he's hilariously calling himself trash.
He Prefers Tea
Talk about an iconic quote from an LGBT student. This young man graduated with a bang by making this his yearbook quote: "I like my coffee like I like my women, I don't like coffee." Get it? We hope he was able to be himself openly all his life, but it would also be pretty cool if this was the moment he came out to his peers. Talk about a funny coming-out story!
More power to you for being so true to yourself and admitting that you don't like coffee (and women).
What A Poet
Well, there is not much to say about this one other than the fact that he is a great poet. We've all heard poems that start with the six words, "Roses are red, violets are blue." In fact, many of us have written our own poems that start with those exact words. And that's what this student decided to do for his high school yearbook quote; but he wrote a better poem than we ever could.
"Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm Black." That's it - that's his quote. You can't really argue with his logic. Those are all true statements.
Joe McDonald Didn't Have A Farm, Ee I Ee I O
"With a moo-moo here and a moo-moo there, here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo-moo." We're guessing this guy heard a lot of that growing up. After that, his name is Joe McDonald! It'd be hard to resist singing him the song, especially as a high schooler. So he took the chance to clarify something once and for all in his yearbook photo - no, he is not ol' McDonald and he does not have a farm.
The song does say Old McDonald had the farm, and this boy is not nearly old enough to have a fully functioning farm. Maybe his grandpa was the one with the farm.
He Should Have Listened To His Mom
This is what happens when you do something just to irritate your mom, but now it is in your yearbook forever, and there is no way to get rid of it. We don't know what school this guy went to, but it's definitely cooler than all the schools we attended. Which school let's students choose any photo for the yearbook?! We were always forced to sit down in the same boring chair as everyone else, look at the same camera, and smile.
But this guy got creative and used a photo of himself as a lumber jack in little jean shorts - much to his mom's dismay.
When Your Parents Are Really Bad At Remembering New Names
He's so nice they named him twice! "Carlos Carlos" is a good name because no one can know your first name without knowing your last name and vice versa. But we definitely can understand why Carlos wrote what he did in his yearbook: "I hate my name." It really wasn't very thoughtful of his parents to give him a first name identical to his last name. Carlos Carlos? Seriously?
This quote alone isn't funny, but the fact that his first and last name is the same makes it hilarious. But what were his parents thinking? Maybe they are really bad with names?
Megan Is A Free Elf
Anyone who's a Harry Potter fan will understand this one. In the famous movie/book series, there are house elves who are owned by their masters. But if their masters give them any sort of clothing, even a sock, then the elf is free. Clearly, Megan is a big Harry Potter fan and decided to quote Dobby, the famous Harry Potter house elf, in her yearbook - but with a twist.
Don't get too excited, Megan. You have college next which traps you with student loans, and then once you graduate, you have to pay bills.
Don't Forget Your Hips For Never Lying
This yearbook quote is all about self-love and appreciation. He wrote, "I would like to thank my arms for always being by my side. My legs for always supporting me and finally my finger; because I could always count on them." It is nice to see that he can always be thankful for his body. If he only thanked one finger, does that mean he can only count to one?
Can you imagine if he held up his hand and he only had one finger, but everyone thought it was a spelling mistake?
She Has A Point
To be completely honest, no man can compete with the pure joy you get from a good night's sleep. And anyone who disagrees has clearly never had a bad night's sleep. This young lady may only be graduating high school, but she is clearly wise beyond her years. "Why fall in love when you can fall asleep," she chose to write as her yearbook quote. Like we said: wise beyond her years.
Everyone needs to sleep. Sleeping is fun, it's good for your brain and health, and it makes you happier. Falling in love with humans, on the other hand, can be quite the opposite.
Beat Them To The Punchline
We're sure Michelle Ho has heard countless jokes about her last name, which have shaped her sense of humor so that she can poke fun at herself- and keep her whole class laughing every time they look back at their yearbook! We wonder where this comic is now- if she married someone with the last name Hum, she can be Ho-Hum. Or, if she married someone also with the last name Ho, she could be Ho-Ho.
This is one of the only times you can turn a Ho into a housewife. Michelle Ho has made her family proud, and her classmates laugh for an eternity.
Pronounced "Pareekeet"
We would never have guessed that the "s" in Pareekshit's name is silent. He must have had to say this all the time when he got a new teacher, there was a substitute, or he met someone new, and gotten so tired of hearing a dirty word every time someone calls his name. Unfortunately for Pareekshit, not everyone will reference his yearbook when they meet him. Maybe he should get it printed on a t-shirt?
Clearly, he needs to repeat himself so much that he put it as his senior yearbook quote. Wherever Pareekshit is now, we hope his peers have learned how to say his name properly!
Unexpected But Still Loved
These twins' parents got more than they planned for when they ended up with two baby girls- and clearly, they never let the girls forget it! You know what they say, "Two is always better than one." Their parents got two more children to love and now, two college tuitions to pay. At least they were lucky enough to have kids with such a great sense of humor about it.
There's just one thing we're not sure about- how do these twins know who was planned and who was not? Did they flip a coin to decide that one was the original embryo?
Clever
When Xenia ran her potential yearbook quote by her dad, he didn't think "fries before guys" was prophetic enough that she should have it printed in her yearbook for an eternity. Clearly though, she was set on the quote and used her smarts to find a loophole and still get her original idea printed. We bet she was proud of herself and she should be- this girl is our hero!
Do you think her dad laughed or got mad when he saw what she ended up putting in the yearbook? Or was he so impressed with her clever workaround that he let it go?
How Did This Get Approved?
Conner, we're blushing! This cheeky student gave a little too much information in his school yearbook. Shockingly, the school let this quote stay in the yearbook. Either the yearbook coordinator knows how to take a joke, or they didn't understand quite get it. We have to wonder what his parents thought when they flipped open their son's senior yearbook and turned the page to see his photo. Maybe even worse- what about his future children?!
Is this really the legacy you want to leave when you graduate, Connor? What will you think about that in 20 years? Let's hope he keeps that sense of humor as he ages, or maybe not.
"Dad I'm Only In High School"
Every parent wishes success for their kids, but some need to manage their expectations- like Daniel's father, who wonders why he's not a doctor yet. Slow down dad, he's just barely out of high school! Let's hope Daniel's college plans included medical school- as it seems his parents already expect him to have a full-time job that requires years of further education, or his parents are in for a big disappointment.
We sure hope Daniel is either a doctor or on his way to becoming one these days because it seems to really matter to his dad. Are these expectations too much for an 18-year-old?
High School Helped Her Find Herself
High school is a time to start finding yourself. Most students go through significant changes in their 4 years- trying out different looks, hairstyles, attitudes, and friend groups. Amberlyn was no different from her peers in this case- undergoing not just a change in her grades, but in her identity. While we wish she kept those straight A's up, we think it's so cool she was proud enough to come out and say some major things have changed!
Once you are comfortable with who you are, you can be your true self and life is better. We bet college and the years beyond it were even better than high school!
Every Guy On Every Dating App Ever
Have you ever gone on a dating app, and the person's pictures turn out to not be a good representation of them? This guy feels like his yearbook picture is not the best representation of him. "I look better in person" was the perfect, most relatable way of telling your peers you're not a fan of your yearbook photo. Who really is though? From those outdated blue backgrounds to the clothes we'd never actually wear, these photos are rarely flattering.
Some people just aren't photogenic, and that's ok. We'll take this students word for it- most of us do look better in person (or in our social media photos!)
He Turnips In The Garden
We have to wonder what was going through this student's mind when he came up with this quote, because it's bizarre beyond anything we could imagine. Does this person actually roll around and pretend to be a carrot? Does their neighbor still not know? We have so many questions. Maybe it's a reference to some joke we're not in on, because it's so niche we don't know how he could come up with it on his own.
While we're not sure where this quote originated, we're sure of one thing- whoever thought of it must be a very interesting person we'd like to have a chat with.
Was This Planned?
Noah and Mason, we need some answers about these quotes. Did you plan this, or do you both just really love bubbles? Maybe someone saw the quotes and saw a good opportunity and put their quotes together. We wouldn't put it past two teenage boys to find such a sneaky way to make a dirty joke, and we have to admit- this one cracked us up so much, we wish we knew the origin.
Where are Noah and Mason today? Are they still trying to convince people that the quotes were a coincidence? Or did they ride off into a bubble-filled sunset together? We'll never know.
That's One Excuse For Bad Grades
Many students use their yearbook quote as an opportunity to mention their academic struggles, and this student was no exception. "I had to put my grades up for adoption because I couldn't raise them" was a fun and clever way of poking fun at Irfan's struggles in the classroom. And how responsible of him, doing everything he could to give his grades a better life. We commend his self-awareness!
But now we're wondering- having someone raise your grades- is that an admission to cheating? We hope this funny quote didn't get him in trouble, because we're sure he was just joking around.
And It's All Down Hill From There
One hundred thirteen thousand eight hundred eighty hours is 4,745 days and about 13 years. That is a lot of time to spend in school, only to have to go to more school to have the career you want. You spend that much time in school, and when you graduate, you are only qualified to work at a fast-food chain. When you put it that way, things look pretty grim.
We wonder what her quote would be when she graduates college. "I spent four years and hundreds of thousands of dollars for a piece of paper and no job opportunities."
You Monster!
Some people choose not to eat meat out of compassion for animals, while others embrace a vegetarian lifestyle for entirely different reasons. This student falls into the latter category, making it clear that their dietary choices have nothing to do with a love for animals. Instead, they humorously declare their disdain for plants, proving that even a yearbook quote can make people laugh and rethink the usual reasoning behind vegetarianism.
Plants and animals coexist, but both play a role in the food chain. While some avoid meat out of compassion, others take a different approach—like this student with their humorous perspective.
Copy + Paste
These identical twins must've been really hard to tell apart- they are literally copies of one another. We can only imagine how often they had to clarify who was who to their classmates. So, they cleverly made their yearbook quotes the keyboard shortcuts for copy and paste- "ctrl+c" and "ctrl+v". On another note, how cool is the name Dollar? He should wear a money-related piece of clothing or jewelry to set himself apart.
They also look way too old to be in high school. Some seniors must mature faster than others, which must've helped them come up with such a clever yearbook quote!
"I Always Knew Brooke Would End Up On Top Of Me."
Blake has had a crush on Brooke for the entirety of high school. He never got a chance with her, so he decided this was his time to shoot his shot. Unsurprisingly, Brooke was not a fan of this. We can think of probably 100 better ways he could have asked her out with a better success rate. At least this way he knows she'll never be able to forget him.
The yearbook may be the only chance he has to be close to Brooke, and we respect his bold attempts to get her attention. Had he had more maturity than a high school boy, he probably would've chosen a better way to do it.
That's A Funny Joke
Triplets are a rarity, so when there is a set of them, everyone in school usually knows them and their siblings. These three must've been excited to graduate so they can stop being called "the triplets", that is, unless they ended up going to the same college. Either way, it's fun that they had the opportunity to use their three quotes combined to come up with one awesome yearbook quote.
We wish our yearbook had quotes as funny as these ones. Usually, people use inspirational quotes and other cliches, and they don't get as creative as these clever siblings did.
But Everyone Wears The Same Thing For Yearbook Pictures
This funny student poked fun at himself and his time in the closet- also hitting on the stereotype of gay men being good dressers. We're sure he wishes he was able to wear something other than that tuxedo to prove his point, but we believe him! We appreciate his clever sense of humor and we're just glad he's out of the closet and living as his most authentic self.
We're sure since high school, life has only gotten better! What a great combination for success: a great sense of fashion, an even better sense of humor, and true authenticity.
Try Now Ask For Forgiveness Later
Some students use their yearbook quotes to share wisdom, while others take a more creative—and slightly mischievous—approach. This student clearly understands divine intervention, but instead of waiting for a miracle, they decided to take matters into their own hands. Their logic? If asking for a bike wouldn’t work, maybe asking for forgiveness would. Whether it’s faith, strategy, or just humor, this quote is sure to be unforgettable.
Will he be forgiven for taking the bike? The owner probably wasn't too happy, so it might not be easier to ask for forgiveness in this situation.
Mission Impossible
Graduation is a big moment, but for many students, there’s one final challenge before walking the stage—hearing their name mispronounced. This student summed up the experience perfectly, blending humor with a relatable struggle. After years of hard work, all they ask is a diploma and a little effort in saying their name right. A simple request, yet one that resonates with so many students from different cultures.
For some graduates, the real test isn’t finals—it’s waiting to hear if their name survives the ceremony unscathed. A funny, yet all-too-real sentiment captured perfectly in this yearbook quote.
Paige Just Changed Yearbook Quotes Forever
Most students use their yearbook quote to share wisdom, humor, or a personal motto, but this one took a different, more modern route—letting emojis do all the talking. Whether it’s confusion, excitement, or pure randomness, this quote proves that sometimes words just aren’t necessary. Who knew flooding the yearbook with emojis was even an option? Clearly, this student figured it out and left their mark in the most unexpected way.
Some students choose deep quotes, others go for humor—this one went full emoji overload. A bold move that leaves everyone wondering, “Wait… we could do that?” Iconic, in every sense.
