The 200+ best toasts – funny, witty and absolutely legendary

Toasts in all languages

A good toast is like the first sip of a cold beer—it's simply a must. Whether you're pre-drinking with friends, at your cousin's wedding, or at a traditional get-together: with a funny toast , you not only raise the glass, but also the mood.

What is a toast?

A toast is a short, often humorous saying said when toasting or while drinking. Some are profound, others completely crazy – but they all have one goal: to laugh, toast, and celebrate together. The perfect start to a legendary evening.

Funny toast – because life is too short for boring glasses

Who says you always have to be serious while drinking? A funny toast will get everyone laughing and make every round at the table unforgettable. Here are a few classics:

  • "Alcohol may not be the answer, but at least you forget the question!"

  • "Let's stop drinking and start boozing!"

  • "Alcohol, you noble spirit, how often you bring me down..."

The crazier the toast , the better the souvenir photo afterwards – if there even is one.
