25 Best Gag Gifts for Men: Your Ultimate List

Ugh, men are so hard to buy for. They always say they want nothing. Well, commit to that and give them this. In a certain sense, the joke is on the giver, paying for a box only to give the recipient nothing, but humor requires that you invest in the joke. Alternatives include a smaller clear box and a round bubble of nothing, if you prefer. Also good for fans of Reboot.

Everyone knows about Exploding Kittens, Cards Against Humanity, and even Joking Hazard by now, and this game is certainly on that level. It adds an additional component that makes it a decent gag gift: making fun of someone’s complete lack of internet knowledge.

Give this game to a friend who is impossibly bad at memes and knowing anything about internet culture and see if they’re either clueless and flustered or meme savants. It could go either way, and based on the games I’ve played, often does.

Don’t forget the Fresh Memes Expansion Pack #1, Fresh Memes Expansion Pack #2, and NSFW Expansion Deck.

If you need a really weird, random, WTF gift, this is it. This oddball shower curtain is a great birthday gift, housewarming gift, or present to bring to the office Christmas party. We can pretty much guarantee that the guy you’re shopping for won’t own anything like this. You can browse more funny shower curtains here.

Isn’t nature beautiful? Let someone you know bask in nature’s towering majesty with this calendar capturing the most erect of formations.

Honestly, most people might not even notice what’s going on here, which makes it a perfect calendar for a risky placement. Probably not adviseable for work, but you know your office better than we do.

Yet another humorous take on an actually-practical gift. This book abounds with practical recipes and advice for eating the tougher of the chicken genders, so don’t write it off so easily. Buy some cock and go to town with the help of this handy guide.

Most gag gifts are totally useless and only last for the amount of time they take to open. Not so with these, which are genuine coasters which will, indeed, keep your surfaces from getting ruined. There are a number of variations on this concept, including this black and white set.

Some people think books are a lame gift, but for the right guy, a funny book really is the perfect gift. Why Do Men Have Nipples? answers weird medical questions like “How do people in wheelchairs have sex?” and “Why does asparagus make my pee smell?” This is a cool gift for anyone who has an interest in science or medicine.

I’m not even going to pretend that this is an original suggestion, but the completionist in me requires that this make the list. It’s a classic gag for anyone unlucky in love or anyone who is so lazy, the only step they want to take with a partner is to get them wet. Don’t worry, there’s a boyfriend variant, too, that ensures everyone’s covered.

Another great gift if you’re looking to get a laugh, these wacky socks are perfect for guys who love cats, weird fashion, or memes. They’re treated to prevent fading over time, and designed to fit most foot sizes. Function has a variety of interesting socks, but these socks are arguably the most excellent choice. Another option to consider would be this funny Pizza Rat shirt.

If included this on the list because it’s my father-in-law’s go-to White Elephant gift. It cracks him up to give this to people, so I present to you the option, as well. It is pretty terrible, but may still be functional for some. An alternative to this might be the Big Mouth, Inc Willy Warmer.

Yes, it’s true, this is such a classic gag gift idea, it borders on played out. Still, it’s a classic for a reason, so if you know someone who takes forever in the bathroom, it still makes a funny gift. Especially if they need to work on their short game.

But, to up the ante, we recommend presenting this alongside other toilet games for an entire bathroom arcade. These include toilet darts, toilet basketball, toilet hunting, and toilet fishing. It’s funny to give one of these; it’s way funnier to bundle them together in a ridiculous gift basket.

What better than the gift of stress relief? Therapy Paper contains no dangerous chemicals and can be deployed virtually anywhere! Follow the instructions on the scroll included inside. Maybe habit-forming. It’s bubble wrap. Dr. Thadeus’ Therapy Paper is bubble wrap.

Need a funny gift for a Canadian friend? This punny sweatshirt is an awesome choice. The hoodie itself is also warm and toasty, making it a thoughtful gift for anyone who lives in colder climates. Fans of Canadian sports teams may also appreciate this funny gift.

Sure, you’ve heard of Magnetic Poetry, some of which can make a pretty good gag gift on its own. But if you’re going to go for the joke, you might as well go blasphemous. This magnet set will allow you to create your own diety out of a mix and match set of any you can imagine. Well, not any, as they have perhaps wisely opted to avoid Muhammed. Still, plenty of flexibility here.

This one is kind of a two-in-one. The design is so understated as to be bad for one thing. The other is more obvious. Bestow upon someone the dubious destinction of not making the list of people you’d never have sex with again. I think I speak for a lot men when I say that if I received this, I’d respond, “I can accept that.”

Whether you want to imply that someone needs to take their pills daily, or you want to remind them that they’re getting old and they need a reminder to take their meds, this is a funny way to accomplish both things.

Ultimately, this is a pretty practical gift, which will ably hold bills and can optionally be divided into two compartments. There’s also a Mad Hatter “Meds or Madness” option or one advertising pills as arsenic, if you prefer.

You’ve seen that Fresh Prince scene wherein Will and Carlton prank Jeffrey into thinking he’s won the lottery, right? No? Okay, go watch it here. Later on in the episode, they have to admit what they’ve done. To successfully deploy these scratch off tickets to the same effect, mix them in with real ones.

Engineers, mathematicians, and anyone good with numbers is likely to get a kick out of this wall clock. It’s still fully functional, but may slow down the time-at-a-glace looks compared to a normal clock.

There are a number of these prank gift boxes available, but let me make the case for why this one is the best of them. Depending on your audience, gifting a puzzle at all might seem like the prank. It’s entirely possible that a person might take this relatively mundane packaging as totally legit, which could in turn cause them to never open it. Maybe they just politely thank you and then shelve it, never to discover the real gift inside. I recommend you pair this with something really nice on the off-chance this ends up in a closet. Play the long game with this gag.

Know a hunter who never seems to bag anything year in and year out? Cheer them up with this prize deer head that they can assemble. No skills or patience required.

This could perhaps be a gag gift in the literal sense, depending on who you give it to. This is a good gift for two, seemingly opposite, types of people.

First, the people always boasting they can handle any hot sauce. This set will put them squarely into “put up or shut up” territory. Second, people who can’t handle hot sauce at all. It’s a challenge, or just an unwanted Yankee Swap gift. Either way, you can either handle these or you can’t, and none of these are for the faint of heart.

This sampler includes sauces from the three hottest peppers on the planet right now: one dedicated to Trinidad Scorpion peppers (with bonus ghost peppers blended in), one dedicated to Ghost peppers (with habanero to taste), and one dedicated to Carolina Reapers, also rounded out by habaneros. You get five ounces of each, which will very likely last a long time.

I personally think Carolina Reaper sauces are delicious, but I put Mrs. Renfro’s Ghost Pepper Salsa on everything, so I can’t be trusted. Incidentally, Mrs. Renfro’s also offers a Carolina Reaper salsa, if you’d rather test someone with that.

Know someone who could stand to move around a bit more? Want to entice them to exercise just a little bit? This is the gift for them.

The instructions are helpfully printed on the top and make daily exercise no problem. Make sure they never complain about making an effort again, especially once New Year’s resolutions kick in.

Need a funny gift for your brother? This is a solid choice for your actual family, or for a fraternity brother. Consider this funny shirt the next time you need to shop for a birthday or a Secret Santa gift.

Especially effective if they’ve either just bought a house or happen to have other, more normal garden gnomes on their property, this gnome adds some personality to any garden.

This 9.5 inch gnome is, of course, modeled after The Terminator and will likely cause a couple of double takes given a clever placement in the yard. There’s also a Walter Sobchak version, for some reason, as well as a slightly more lewd option, if you prefer.
