It’s pretty amazing to think that you can be so close to someone for so long (like buddies from High School) and then not talk with them for years and years – and then when you see them again you are reminded about how cool they are and you just feel ‘normal’. That is definitely one of the biggest advantages of the recent ‘Facebook boom’ which has gripped many countries across the world.

Communication is so important, and so I decided in today’s reflection to consider friendship when looking at funny Facebook status quotes. What do I mean by ‘consider friendship’? Well, let’s look at how some more famous scholars have reflected on the concept in the past – and how we can use them for our status updates!

Funny Facebook status quotes

Funny Facebook status quote one – Never a dull moment
Example: A true friend stabs you in the front

There is such a wide variety of humor in this quote, I don’t know where to begin! Of course, the idea of someone ‘stabbing you in the back’ is not new – and I have been stabbed many times by people who I thought were my friends but turned out to be disloyal and petty people, so what better way to let your friends know that you’re keeping an eye on them by putting this funny Facebook status quote?! Honesty is certainly the best policy in a friendship (as the Mexicans say: honesty in accounting leads to a long friendship), so next time you have something to say to someone, why not try to let them know to their face!

Funny Facebook status quote two – Never a truer word spoken
Example: Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate

The sad truth of haters – they never die, they just hide. One friend of mine used to run a popular blog talking about food and the local restaurants near the area where I lived. He became relatively famous (a local celebrity), and then people started leaving offensive messages on his blog in the comments section. He tried to ignore these people, but they continued (even going so far as to register fake email accounts so they could leave more spam and abuse!). Eventually he gave up blogging as his traffic fell (that would be his friends leaving)…but the enemies just continued their assault. This is a kindly reminder that we should all heed – watch out for the snakes in the grass and if you can avoid making enemies, it’s much better than keeping them around!

Funny Facebook status quote three – Money makes the world go around
Example: Money can’t buy friends, but you can get a better class of enemy

Facebook used to the be a website for rich people – nearly everyone who used it was college educated or higher, and therefore they were not the ones at the bottom fo the food chain by any means. This funny Facebook status idea comes from the notion that true friendship can not be bough, but actually money can do a lot to help you avoid the worst types of people (the kind that you really hate!). Is it true? Put it into your Facebook status and see how many comments you get! They will probably all be from people who think that you’re talking about them!

Funny Facebook status quote four – Eggsellent humour
Example: A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.

This is my favourite funny Facebook status idea about friendship, because it involves a great pun on the word ‘cracked’ and has a good message behind it. Most of my friends think that I’m a little bit strange, weird, abnormal or ‘cracked’, but I hope that they deep down realize that I’m an OK type of person! If they do, then they will see this Facebook status update and ‘Like’ it (or maybe they will do this if they think I’m an egghead?!). either way, try it out.

Well that’s the end of today’s ideas for a new funny Facebook status – did you find any that you will use? Try them out and see how many people comment and ‘like’ your statuses – you might be surprised!
