While there are people who don’t like their birthdays, most of us still look forward to the day. What other time of the year are you going to receive funny happy birthday wishes and even funnier presents, have fun with friends, and eat as much cake as you want without any regrets?
But what if your friends live too far or are too busy to come to the party? Fear not; this is where a birthday meme comes in handy. Traditional birthday cards are so last century (and by last century, I mean the ’90s).

Find a happy birthday meme that suits your friend’s character the best and send it off to make their day. Just make sure you know your friend’s taste to avoid any awkwardness. Birthday humor is pretty specific as it is, and with some weird happy birthday memes out there, it’s good to be a bit careful not to offend anyone on their special day.   
If you are getting ready to celebrate or need some hilarious birthday memes, you have come to the right place. Scroll down for a collection of birthday memes you can share with your friends on their birthdays and beyond. What is the best birthday meme you have ever received? Share it with us in the comments.

    If my daughter has the energy, she might text me a meme saying happy birthday. I even reminded her a week before. It was my 60th birthday for Goodness Sake!! I did not hear from her on my birthday. It took her three days to even text me and all it said was: "I'm sorry, I didn't have the energy." It takes 10 seconds to send a GIF text, she couldn't even do that. That can be done sitting on the toilet. I also feel like I have to be on call for her 24/7/365 but if I don't answer the phone the first or second times she calls, she will call the police to do a welfare check. I work from home and am disabled. Yes, I am 60 year old, but I am no where near needing "Help me, I've fallen and I can't get up!" Thank you for letting me vent. This is still bothers me 8 months later. I have set some boundaries, and it has gotten better. Again, thank you for letting me vent!!
