5 Funny Trophy Ideas to Get People Laughing

Millennials have been heralded as the 'participation trophy' generation... But there are way more reasons to give a trophy than winning or participation.

In fact, funny trophies are a great way to add some humour to any occasion.

Not sure how?

Here are five ways to use gag trophies to get the crowd laughing. Or simply poke fun at one of your good friends!

1. Birthday Award

Another year older deserves another great joke. But giving plain old cards can be boring and old school.

Sometimes Hallmark can't say it the way you want. So how about getting a trophy of something silly, like a toilet, and engraving your own message on it?

It's a creative way to send a message the birthday boy or girl will never forget. A trophy is also a fun piece of memorabilia your friend will always have to remember their party.

2. First One Out of the Sports Bet

There are a lot of unique sports trophies... but what about loser trophies?

If your work or friends have a sport's bet going on, the first loser deserves a prize too...but not the same kind that's awaiting the winner.

A prize for being so wrong they were cast out of the pool first is a fun way to kick off the spread betting season.

For example, you could get the person a sarcastically timed 'Well Done' trophy and give it to them over a round of beers.

The beers being on them, of course.

3. Award for the Gloater

"Wow Bob, don't know what we'd do without you. I think your award is in the mail." *Wink*

You can use funny trophies as a way to drive the point home even more. If there's someone in the office, for example, that always gloats about "saving the day", you could give them a consolation prize for their efforts at the Christmas party.

Only if you have a good relationship and they have a good sense of humour, of course.

It's meant to be a gag, after all.

4. Sour Puss Award

Got somebody who's a poor sport?

One way to poke a little fun, lighten the mood and get a smile on their face is to use funny trophies.

For example, you could use a lemon trophy and make a joke about being sour. It's also a great way to discourage future sour pusses from being poor sports.

5. Winning Dead Last

R.I.P. to your chances of winning first prize!

A tombstone trophy with the joke 'dead last' is a great way to offer consolation to the person at the bottom of the totem pole.

Whether it was a pool tournament or a game at the Christmas party, a gag trophy is a hilarious gift for the first one out.
