Being an adult means you don't have to explain sh*t to anyone or apologize when you're not feeling sorry. However, since society treats apologizing as a noble act and being unapologetic is frowned upon, we feel obligated to do so. And one way to stay moral and true to your beliefs is by adding sass to your apology.

For those situations when you don't feel like apologizing but "it would be a nice thing to do," funny apologies are ideal. Funny apology texts can be just as sincere but also get the point through. So if someone tries to make you feel guilty for being sensible, funny ways to apologize will get them humbled real quick. 

It takes a knack to craft the ideal apology that will be funny, honest, and effective but also won't leave the recipient in tears. Hence, to learn how to craft one, we've compiled the funniest apologies to take an example from. However, other than savage comebacks, below, you'll also find funny apology quotes you could use on cards, send to a friend you got into a silly argument with, or even use for cheeky Instagram captions.

So charge yourself with sassy energy and take a look at funny ways to say sorry we've compiled below. As always, upvote the best comebacks and replies, and send this article to a friend who finds it hard to say sorry and could use some help!
