45 times grandpas prove that they send the funniest texts ever

Grandparents are the best! But, they grew up in a totally different time, so when they’re dealing with newer technologies, we have to cut them some slack. But, let’s face it – watching them ‘struggle’ is pretty darn funny. Especially when it comes to grandpas with no filter.

Whether it’s text messaging or Facebook – Grandpas sending messages is quite possibly the funniest thing ever. We have 45 texts to prove it.

Sometimes their emojis make no sense and their stories are completely inappropriate, but that’s what makes grandpas so great, right?!

1) Nice try, Gramps

It looks like this grandpa is totally new to the entire smartphone world. This kind grandchild reached out to their grandpa with a new iPhone and it’s clear that the whole texting thing is going to take some time.

2) Adorably confused

There are a few hilarious things happening in this message here. First off, the photo! Great catch, grandpa! Second, the reply to himself is so cute. And third, “oh scrap.” Enough said.

3) Love birds

This granddaughter received the most hilarious text fom her grandpa after sending he and her grandma a card for their anniversary. Now, here’s the question – is grandpa messing with her or is her serious?

4) Grandpa will call you out

Some people’s grandpas are just straight blunt. They tell it like it is and they don’t mess around. Well, this person turned down a bingo night with their grandpa and received this endearing text.

5) Gross, grandpa. Gross.

“Niece texts grandpa “Im excited to get my braces off next week!” Grandpa responds “You’ll have a beautiful smile like me!” with photo,”explained this Imgur user.

6) Not on social media

All this kid needs is the code to the garage door but, like most grandparents, grandpa is overly concerned about privacy. And apparently he also thinks that texting is the same thing as social media.

7) That took a dark turn

It’s interesting that he even started the text with the “how was your classes?” It seems like there are more pressing and devastating issues to talk about.

8) Wait, you’re missing the whole point

This grandpa is still a bit confused about texting. Instead of texting his granddaughter about the daylight savings reminder, he wrote it down, took a photo, then sent the photo via text. At least he knows how to use the camera function?

9) First jail cell

You have to love a grandpa with a sense of humor and this guy is one of them. Our favorite part is that he says it’s the child’s first jail cell.

10) Making light of the situation

Gramps is making light of what looks like a not-very-fun situation. And it also looks like he’s a big Men in Black fan and likes to reference it whenever he can get the chance. We like him.

11) Grandpa, Wayne.

Why is it that grandparents like to “sign off” on their texts? Is it because they’re used to writing hand-written letters where you sign your signature at the end? Regardless, Grandpa Wayne is awesome .

12) No complaints at all

If you’re rarely going to receive texts from grandpa, they might as well be the most awesome grandpa-style photos ever. We’d say it’s worth the wait between texts.

I rarely get text messages from my grandpa, but when I do, it’s never disappointing pic.twitter.com/PMF4lv6Qo3

13) No. That’s not what that stands for.

First off, “that’s how you know she’s clean”?! What the heck, grandpa? And no, that is absolutely not what “gf” stands for at all. I don’t know about introducing your gf to this guy.

14) He’s on top of the trends

This grandpa wants to be the “hip” one in his group of friends. Apparently he drinks coffee with a group of guys every morning and he sends texts like this to his grandkid all the time.

15) Too much information

I’m not sure anyone really wants to get a text from their grandpa while they’re sitting on the toilet but you have to admit this guy is pretty darn funny!

16) Live it up!

Does grandpa really know what YOLO means or does he think it stands for something else? We’re not entirely sure but it actually works in this situation.

17) Say no to drugs!

His grandkids probably aren’t running around doing the drug Molly all the time (or at least we hope not) but it’s grandpa’s duty to keep his family safe! So, PSA messages are a must.

18) He just wants to sing

It looks like grandpa has had his fair share of Garth Brooks karaoke at the Christmas Eve service. He’s now been banned and told to “get the hell outta here.”

19) Cutest ever!

Grandpa was checking in on his granddaughter after some earthquakes and fires and didn’t realize that he accidentally hit ‘audio record’ after. Too freaking cute.

20) He’s still learning

He hasn’t quite nailed it yet but at least this grandpa is really trying. But one thing is for sure, with each text he just keeps getting better and better! Good job, grandpa!

21) There’s no shame in asking

Emojis are still brand new to grandpa so you have to help him out a little bit. At least he asked! Whether he “got it” or not, we’re not sure, but he did end the convo with an “lol.”

22) Odd but okay.

This grandchild lives 2,000 miles away from their grandpa and woke up to this hilariously random text. We just like how grandpa seemed to be totally cool and accepting of that answer.

23) Deep thoughts

When grandpas are retired, they really can end up with way too much time on their hands which leads to the most random of thoughts. Like this one, for example.

24) He’s a humble guy

This grandpa is supportive and has a wonderfully humble sense of humor. He’s probably telling grandpa jokes all the time.

25) Think about it

It’s funny how grandparents with cell phones just never quite fully get it or how it works, no matter how much progress with texting has been made. But, it’s cute, so we’ll let it fly.

26) Safe travels, Frankenstein!

There’s something about grandparents and selfies that just makes us oh-so-happy. Plus, we just love that this grandpa is still traveling the world. So great!

27) Bragging

This grandpa is feeling real good about himself and his texting skills. In fact? He’s going to show it off with a little text explaining how good he’s getting at texts!

28) Hmm…

Was he googling something? Did he purposely mean to just send a one-word text saying ‘Hollywood’? Should we be concerned he’s actually using his phone? Is it an emergency? They need to call him back.

I woke up to this text from my grandpa who never uses his phone 😂😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/Hvc1w4oWDl

29) Don’t make this guy wait

Grandpa is sitting there waiting for dinner and guess who he’s waiting on? Grandma! He had to kill some time so why not start complaining to someone via text?

30) DEAR GRANDDAUGHTER

Here’s another example of a grandpa writing a text like they’re writing a letter. But the follow-up text is the real winner here.

31) That’s great!

This grandpa is just checking in and letting his grandkid know that he’s still kickin’ it! That’s always a good thing to know.

32) No sympathy

This person seems to be having some health issues but grandpa doesn’t seem to really care one bit. In fact? He’s the type of grandpa that’s going to insult you about it.

33) Gee, thanks

Grandpa jokes are like dad jokes on steroids. Take this one, for example. Grandpa Jerry was probably cracking himself up when he thought of this idea.

34) Morbidly calm

No one likes to think about it but, the truth is – we all die someday. That goes for literally everyone. You can either fight it or accept it and this grandpa seems to have become pretty jaded toward it all.

35) Deal with it

The fact that grandpa came in hot with the Willow Smith song is really hilarious. And then his comeback to not having hair really just takes the cake.

36) Not true

Autocorrect and grandparents usually do not mix. Like this case in point. No one wants to be told by their grandpa that they lick balls. No one.

37) Just stop, grandpa.

Sometimes giving a grandpa access to a smartphone and the internet isn’t the best idea at all. They could start posting “sexy” selfies on Facebook for the world to see.

38) He was a real partier

Back in the day, it sounds like grandpa really used to know how to party. And by party, apparently that means to riot during spring break.

39) Very sweet

There’s only one thing that can make a grandparent selfie even more adorable and that’s a dog. We like how he titled it “our selfie” as well.

40) Hello?

This grandpa hasn’t quite figure out texts and has just been sending space bar texts for the past few weeks. Either that or those are fart bubbles.

41) It’s a conspiracy

He’s convinced that this “Beyoncy” person copied grandma with her haircut. He’s pretty upset about it so of course he had to send a photo for proof.

42) This escalated quickly

Any sort of sex-related texts aren’t exactly what you ever hope to receive from your grandparent. This one just likes to throw it out there casually.

43) Bad grandpa

This grandpa isn’t exactly being cute, more like creepy. Who are these young girls and why is he grabbing one of their bums while posing with his wife?

44) Psy

This grandpa discovered Gangnam Style and wants to know who the heck this Psy guy is and if he’s a big deal in “his age group.” Grandkids are like the “Google” for grandparents.

45) Guilt trip

This grandpa likes to make their granddaughter feel like total garbage for not calling. But, it looks like she’s used to it so no harm no foul.

Grandpas might not be the best at texting but they sure are hilarious. Which one was your favorite?
