Classic bar-style humor without anything you'd regret saying out loud. Works just as well with a soda.
Here's to the bartender, the most important person in this room for the next three hours. Tip well and toast often. Cheers!

To water, the drink that keeps us all alive. Now that we've honored it properly, let's move on to something more fun. Cheers!
Fill in the form and your toast appears here in a few seconds. It's free.
Aim the humor at situations everyone shares, like work, aging, the group chat or wedding planning, rather than at one person's flaws. Gentle teasing about something the guest of honor already laughs about is fine. Avoid exes, weight, money, religion and politics. If you'd be uncomfortable saying the line in front of their grandmother, cut it.
Short. One or two jokes and a sincere ending is plenty, about 30 to 60 seconds. Humor works best in small doses, and a toast that runs long starts to feel like a stand-up set. If you're giving a full wedding or birthday speech, you can include more jokes, but end with a toast line like the ones on this page.
Try: "I was told to keep this toast short, and for once in my life I'm going to follow instructions. Cheers!" It works at almost any event because it pokes fun at the speaker, not the guests. Self-deprecating lines are the safest funny toasts because nobody in the room can be hurt by them.
Usually, yes. A funny opening relaxes the room, and a sincere final line shows you mean it. For example, tease the birthday person about their age, then say how glad you are to know them, then raise your glass. The switch from funny to heartfelt is what people remember most.
Good options poke fun at the evening itself: toasting the bartender, toasting the designated driver, or "Let's drink to good health, which we will cheerfully ignore for the rest of the evening." Keep them light and never make anyone feel they need to drink. They work just as well with sparkling water or soda in your glass.
