Hilarious email sign-offs that are way better than "kind regards" -

Even if you’re sending dozens of emails a day, there’s always that moment of pause when signing off. Maybe you’ve exhausted your signature phrase, or maybe you still haven’t quite found one that feels like you. But instead of going for something neutral, boring, and forgettable, why not spice things up a bit and lighten the mood?

Emails are places where creativity often goes to die, but you can squeeze in a little fun and even give someone else a chuckle. Here, we've gathered some of the funniest email sign-offs so you can retire “best,” “kind regards,” and “cheers” at last. Click on to discover them all.

Congrats on reading this whole email -

If someone is even paying attention to how you're signing off, it can't hurt to give them a little pat on the back for it.

Roll the credits -

Not only is this one a funny and cheeky sign-off, but it's also very appropriate since your name will come right after it.

At a loss for words -

This is so funny to put at the end of a regular ol' email because it's such a dramatic phrase that you are using quite literally to mean that you are out of more words to write. Perfection.

Stay positive and keep testing negative -

This one is both clever and great to use in the age of the pandemic.

Hakuna Matata -

What a wonderful phrase—it means “no worries, for the rest of your days!” Make it your problem-free philosophy.

Mic drop -

This one is funny when you've actually made a great point in your email, but even funnier if you absolutely haven't.

To infinity, and beyond -

Even if someone hasn't seen 'Toy Story,' they've surely heard Buzz Lightyear's famous catchphrase before. It's silly, but it livens things up.

G2G, bye! -

Revive the old AOL Instant Messenger energy with this short phrase (meaning “got to go”) that is reminiscent of being called to the table by your family for dinner.

I've told you too much -

Treat the most banal emails as if they're secret spy transmissions, and you're sure to get a laugh.

Fare thee well -

Take it way, way back with this hilariously formal Shakespearean send-off. This is best sent when discussing something extremely modern.

Don't stop believin' -

Journey's hit song is also the most popular karaoke song in the world (probably) and ends any email on a hilarious musical note.

May the force be with you -

You can't go wrong with 'Star Wars,' but this one is especially great to use on May 4 when you can write, “May the Fourth Be With You” instead.

Live long and prosper -

Or if you're more into 'Star Trek,' then the Vulcan salute is the one for you.

That's all, folks! -

You can almost hear Porky Pig's stuttering voice and the Looney Tunes orchestra adding a little grandeur to your sign-off.

Looking forward (to Friday) -

Lead with the predictable and then psych them out—it's funny because they can probably also relate.

Thanks, I'll see myself out -

There's nothing like a virtual opening of a door and awkwardly sliding out—and if you think about it, sign-offs are indeed a lot like seeing yourself out.

© Shutterstock

And that's a wrap! -

There's nothing quite as satisfying as concluding an email chain with each party satisfied, and the imagined director's voice yelling “that's a wrap!” is the best way to communicate it.

Don't touch that dial -

You could also write “stay tuned” to the same effect, but this one has a little more nostalgia to it.

The end -

This one is funny at the end of a particularly long email, and it can also be modified depending on the context of the email. If you've resolved something or cleared something up, you can write, “Happily ever after.”

No trees were harmed in the sending of this message -

If you want to be even cheekier, you can add, “However, a number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.”

Live, laugh, love -

Poke fun at the cheesy sentiment of writing a positive sign-off with the overused phrase found on pillows, trinkets, photo frames, and walls around the world.

At ease -

This military command—which means the soldier may move but must remain alert and in position—can add a little lightness and poke fun at any excessively formal email correspondence.

© Shutterstock

Isn't this fun -

Nothing like a little well-placed sarcasm to lighten the load your work email is carrying. Mundane things can be a little less mundane if we laugh at how mundane they are!

May the odds be ever in your favor -

While also simply wishing someone luck, this one is for the millennials who read or watched 'The Hunger Games' and it's what Effie Trinket (played by Elizabeth Banks) says before the children go off to kill each other.

Hasta la vista baby -

Channel your inner Terminator and simultaneously let your recipient know that you will, indeed, be back. It's also a safe one for people who aren't familiar with the movie, as it just means “see you later” in Spanish.

Yours sincerely during working hours -

Using one of the most overused sign-offs, this one packs a playful punch that warns people you will not be responding after hours while delivering a clever joke. Every joke has a little truth to it, as they say.

I never know what to put here -

Even if you forget every single sign-off we've listed here, honesty remains the best—and funniest—policy.
