75 Uncles Confirming They Are Funniest Members Of The Family

Uncles Rock! Truthfully, they are important members of the family. They make us laugh, they love reliving their childhoods through their nieces and nephews, they are less anxious than than parents, and really know how to cut loose.

They can fix just about anything, love Stars Wars, Pixar, and pretty much any movie as much as kids do. And when it comes to treats? Well, more is more where uncles are concerned. Screen time restrictions? What’s that? They buy the best gifts and hey, the rest of the family can even learn from them on how to be spontaneous and show our silly sides.

The best part of being an uncle is their only real responsibility is creating endless moments of silliness, entertainment, memory making and maybe even a few nuggets of wisdom here and there.

Enjoy this list of the best uncles we could find – and laugh right along with them and their families!

1. But They Insisted

This fun-loving uncle reports that his nephews insist he carry them that way. And why wouldn’t they? It’s probably ONLY an uncle that would oblige to their demands.

2. You Are Never Too Young For Calculus

Well, according to this uncle anyhow. In my opinion, I could skip it altogether. But thankfully this little niece has an uncle that’s looking out for her future. (Though she sure doesn’t look too pleased with her math lesson.)

3. No, Really. It’s A Marshmallow Farm, My Uncle Told Me So.

Not sure how this uncle pulled it off, but he reports he finally got his nephews to believe this is the land where the marshmallows come from. He also reports he’s quite proud of himself. Looking at the picture, I think I might turn into a believer too.

4. “Eye” Phone

Why get a boring old iPhone when you can have a googly eye phone like this uncle? Personally, I think his joke is pretty funny, but not sure how his nieces and nephews are taking it.

5. 5-Star Treatment

This lucky little nephew just happens to have an uncle who is a chef at a 5-star restaurant. And though there were plenty of delicious options on the menu, you guessed it, the little guy wanted nuggets and mac-n-cheese. Not to let his talents go to waste, this uncle chef delivered.

6. Looking Out For Big Sis

This uncle just wanted to make sure his little niece wasn’t feeling left out with all the excitement of a new member of the family. Sure she’s squishy, adorable, and wearing purple polka dots, but this uncle seems to prefer (jokingly) a version of a niece that doesn’t require diaper changes.

7. When Uncle Walks In, All Bets Are Off

It true, from the moment an uncle walks in the door the energy level of the kids rises off the charts. Whether it’s a wrestling match or just jumping all over uncle, he’s in for a workout. And for that, this uncle looks like he should win “uncle of the year” for his efforts.

8. Once An Ornery Uncle, Always An Ornery Uncle

Who says all presents have to be wrapped up in pretty paper and tied with a sparkly bow? Not this uncle, he buried their presents in the back yard. That’ll wear them out (at least a little) before they come in to terrorize him.

9. Ursula At Her Finest

All other Ursula’s better step back, this uncle has her look nailed down – at least in the “most hilarious” category.

10. Cup Holder: Uncle Edition

Most men are just born problem solvers. This uncle takes it to another whole level. Certainly he is getting much more space than just the regular old cup holder provided already in his vehicle.

11. Good Idea?

Let’s face it, uncles like to think outside the box. This nephew received this email from his uncle wondering if he had a good idea. No doubt he did at least get a few good laughs for his creative idea to save money.

12. Undercover Superhero

We don’t even have to meet this uncle to know his nieces and nephews are going to have fun with him. He has had a prosthetic leg for the past 18 years and switches out legs every few years. This is his new one and no doubt was much approved by the younger members of his family.

13. Ready And Waiting

This couple needed a witness for their marriage at the courthouse. In true uncle fashion, he was ready and waiting even with getting little notice. And, also in true uncle fashion, he didn’t show up empty handed.

14. PJ’s: Uncle Version

When an uncle spends the night, no regular pajamas will do. And with the look on his little niece’s face – it was worth every penny he spent on them.

15. Identity Crisis

Imagine this uncle’s surprise when he went out shopping and found a Halloween costume . . . of himself. The look on his face says it all – but we are guessing he is still very “young at heart.”

16. Missing Sock Problem Now Solved

When an uncle’s had enough, he’s had enough. No more someone else claiming his socks and leaving him without a matching pair. Personally, I think it’s brilliant.

17. Just Couldn’t Resist

This uncle took a picture of his nephew at the beach and just couldn’t resist adding the popular meme of Leonardo DiCaprio enjoying the day along with him. Thankfully the uncle has some Photoshop skills, because it really did turn out quite perfect.

18. Kittens Galore

They say animals know our hearts – if that’s true then this uncle has a giant one letting these playful kitties “tackle” him to the ground.

19. Ornery Nephew . . . And Uncle

With a look like that on his little nephew’s face, this uncle was not about to let the opportunity slip by without throwing in a little Photoshop magic to pull the whole picture together.

20. Great Sense Of Humor

Getting the RSVP back in the mail, this niece appreciated her uncle’s sense of humor saying “Would prefer not to be seated near anyone who chose “child” under the menu preferences. Leave it to an ornery uncle to take things so literally.

21. Well, At Least HE Loved The Gift

By the looks on everyone’s faces (but Uncle Dave’s) I’m not sure how much the rest of them did. But, I can only imagine all the laughs he got from it and with such a great sense of humor, they probably actually all really do love their Uncle Dave.

22.”Do You Think My Niece Will Like It?”

This hilarious uncle put that question out there and we’ll let you be the judge of that. I mean, it is pretty hilarious when you look closely. Who wouldn’t want their uncle’s face pictured right along with all the other Disney princesses?

23. Ready Or Not, Here I Come

What uncle doesn’t love a good game of hide and seek with their nephew? This funny uncle found a great hiding spot. In fact, so great that his 3-year-old nephew walked in, scanned the room, and then left.

24. May The Force Be With You

Not to let the world of uncles down, this funny uncle decked out his Christmas tree in a way that no doubt all his nieces and nephews fell in love with. Something tells us this uncle was pretty proud of it too.

25. A (Not So) Binding Contract

Little Abigail was so proud that she learned to sign her name and who not better to tell than her uncle? Unfortunately he took full advantage of the situation and created a “contract” for her to unknowingly sign. It reads, “I Abby “Crabby” promise to mow Uncle Gary’s lawn once a week from age 12 to 35. I will do it for free and rub Aunt Danielle’s feet every day.” Of course, no one will enforce it, but props to this uncle for at least trying.

26. Just Horsin’ Around

This mom reports, “Took my son to his Uncle Joe’s today . . .” And the look on the baby’s face says it all. I can’t blame the baby for crying, but when you are an uncle, it’s hard to resist moments like this.

27. “Jabba The Grass”

When most people just see just a pile of grass clippings, an uncle sees a Star Wars character lurking. Personally, I think he nailed it.

28. “Broke My Leg Today”

When that message came through, imagine the concern . . . until the picture came along with it. Happily the uncle was able to report that it didn’t even hurt. Along with he proud he likely was of his humor.

29. Run, It’s A Trap

When an uncle gets asked to put some corn down for the deer, an uncle delivers. That is, along with his own humor mixed in.

30. Glamour Shots: Uncle Edition

If you are going to leave hair extensions laying around, then you better expect some shenanigans. This uncle took full advantage of the situation and held his very own glamour shots shoot to be shared with the whole family.

31. First Impressions Are Important

When these two brothers became uncles to twins, they felt first impressions were important. So they shaved and dressed to impress with their fancy hairstyles and even fancier Miami Vice looks.

32. Don’t Worry, All Is Fine

They needed someone to watch the kids for the weekend, and who better to ask than their uncle. Thankfully this picture was able to get taken for proof that kids lives are never boring when an uncle is close by.

33. Rick Rolling: Paper Edition

If you haven’t heard of the internet phenomena “Rickrolling,” it’s a bait and switch prank where you think you are watching a particular video and it gets interrupted by Rick Astley’s song “Never Gonna Give You Up.” When this happens, the victim is said to be “Rickrolled.” The card is very sweet in its sentiment, but when read with the first word in every line, this little guy just got “rickrolled.” No doubt, this creative uncle was quite proud of his card.

34. So, That’s Where All The Clouds Come From

This uncle writes, “Uncle success: Today I convinced by nephews this is where clouds come from.” Aww, can’t blame the little tykes, the “evidence” does look very believable.

35. The Perfect Day To Visit

This uncle is from Austria and only came to visit America once in his life. Thankfully this picture got taken as he is enjoying the 4th of July in Chicago. Being the fun uncle he is, he joined right in the festivities and no doubt got a day he will always remember.

36. Niece + Uncle + Photoshop = Hilarity

Whenever this uncle gets an adorable picture of his niece, he likes to photoshop it and send it right back. With results like this, I bet the parents can’t wait to see what this fun uncle comes back with each time.

37. Unforgettable Flower Delivery

When an uncle sends flowers, he goes all out. Not only did he pay to have the flowers delivered, he hired “cupid” to deliver them. Aww!

38. The “Victory Fist”

Sure, most all babies love their pacifiers. But if an uncle is going to be the one to buy it, you better not expect the ordinary. The best part of the this picture is the “victory fist” the little baby seems to be posing for. If that’s the case, then clearly she approves of his purchase.

39. One Final Joke

This nephew reports that before his uncle passed he wrote a check for his birthday – with one last joke thrown in. The memo line shows this uncle must have had quite the sense of humor and to add to it all, he even passed on April Fool’s Day. No doubt, this is a memory of all the funny jokes this fun uncle made throughout the years.

40. Just An Ordinary Day – If You’re An Uncle

41. Marriage Isn’t 50/50

It was her bridal shower and this niece got a card from her aunt and uncle with the advice we’ve all heard that marriage isn’t 50/50 but 100/100 from each person. But they added a funny little caveat just in case.

42. “Boop”

We’ve all fallen for this joke at one point or another in our life. And, just guessing, but it was probably an uncle that played the joke on you as well. You guessed it from the cupcake on her nose: her uncle told her it smelled weird then conveniently booped it on her face.

If you are an uncle and you are going to be trusted watching the baby, then be assured so sort of shenanigan or another will take place.

You know you eat a lot of pizza when your favorite pizza place sends you a Christmas card. I’m guessing whenever his nieces and nephews come to visit . . . pizza is on the menu.

46. “I Wanna Be Batman”

This little cutie asked his uncle to write “Batman” for him. He hasn’t reached the age yet to know that when you ask your uncle for a favor, he will likely oblige – but be prepared he may throw in his own “uncle” flair to the request.

47. It’s Hard Work Being An Uncle

Not even uncles have an unlimited reserve of energy. And by the looks of things, this uncle has went all out for his niece and nephews. Alas, even uncles have to recharge from time to time.

48. First Photo Op

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and apparently that’s the case with this uncle and nephew. He reports it is the first ever picture of them together and by the looks of things, they have some fun times ahead of them . . . once they get past being startled over one another.

49. Uncle Just Can’t Resist

51. A Very Special Christmas

An uncle will go to any extent to bring happiness to his nieces and nephews. Case in point, when you have an awesome red beard you do what you can and dress up like Yukon Cornelius from the beloved cartoon Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

52. Mom’s Gone

And everyone knows when mom’s gone and dad is in charge, well . . . the food might not be quite as nutritious as usual. But in this case – uncle is visiting too. Cue in even more junk food.

53. No Frills Here

When you ask an uncle to make an invitation for a party – well, expect the basics. Especially in this case, but we will give this uncle credit, it does look like he got all the important information covered.

54. HBD2UFRMURFVRTUNKL!

55. Trolling Mama

This uncle and niece wanted to make sure mom knows all is well. I’m sure mom knew they staged the photo, but they sure did a good job acting it out.

This uncle is ornery not just with his nieces and nephews, but also his wife. And, speaking of his wife, he wants to be sure everyone knows he really does have permission to be at the big game.

57. “You Wanna Knuckle Sandwich?”

When this little girl threatened her uncle with a “knuckle sandwich” he figured, “Why not.” And there you have it, a literal knuckle sandwich.

58. Theoretically, This Was A Good Idea

It was Mother’s Day so this loving brother thought he’d get their mom pillows with pictures of his nephew’s faces on them. They are cute – but still, not quite what he had pictured in mind.

59. Man’s Best Friend

When the game is on, there is man’s best friend by his side. This uncle knows just who to pick to watch with him.

Why not get an early start picking on your little nephew? The uncle was asked to babysit and he couldn’t resist taking a picture to assure mom everything was going smoothly.

61. Oh, So You Like Nicholas Cage? Gotcha Covered

It was just a simple passing statement that this nephew liked the actor Nicholas Cage. Well, this uncle delivered.

62. No Surprises Here

It is reported that this uncle really doesn’t like surprises. But, one has to wonder are those still really the presents in there? When an uncle is involved, you never know . . .

63. Root Discovery

When you are an uncle, you like to think outside the box. And when a root like this is discovered, it definitely needs to find a special place to be displayed. This uncle found just the place.

64. “Four Eyes”

The uncle gives new meaning to the term “four eyes.” His nephew got the picture and said he feels Christmas might be a little awkward this year. Certainly it will be a conversation starter if nothing else.

65. Pizza “Dough”

Everyone knows that pizza is a staple meal for any kid heading off to college. So, this uncle delivered this very thoughtful present. Now, that’s some “dough” anyone would be happy to receive.

67. Susan Boyle – Every Day Of The Year

This nephew gets a loving gift of a calendar every year from his uncle. And one can just imagine the anticipation each year to see what he will send. That particular year he got to enjoy Susan Boyle each and every day.

68. Doppelganger: Guy Fieri

People didn’t believe this nephew that his uncle strives to be as much like Guy Fieri as much as possible. He finally got the picture to prove it – and no one argues any more.

69. Many Faces Of My Uncle

You will do a double take looking at this family picture. Wait – they all have an uncanny resemblance to their uncle. Wait! He got a hold of Photoshop and did some fancy editing much to his family’s delight – or maybe not.

70. The Pepsi Challenge

When you are an uncle, you are ornery, and probably before you even become an uncle officially. This uncle has held onto this Pepsi bottle for 35 years. And why? Simply because his mom told him he wouldn’t.

71. Not Quite An American Custom

This uncle is from Egypt and he’s going to do things his way no matter where he is visiting.

I’m guessing Uncle Teddy has been ornery his whole life. And he found just the shirt to display his orneriness to everyone.

73. This Isn’t What I Meant

This nephew reports he didn’t get the “exact” car he was wanting for his 16th birthday. But perhaps he can still master a song on this teeny tiny violin.
