This is textbook mid-late noughties internet humour. Soft-edgy crass, teasing, fear of self-aggrandisement or un-coloured sincerity. Like how there was a period where every burger restaurant had burgers called “the Sloppy Seconds” and shit like that. Coolest thing in the world in Manchester City Centre in 2017.
It’s now extremely dated and passé on the internet itself, and now all the younger Gen Z’s are puritans who think sex and jokes about sex are cringe and desperate. But these shifts take a few years to filter down to irl things like valentine’s day cards.
The cards in 2028 will be all about “be my smol bean” and shit
‘You make my knob throb’ is the worst I’ve seen.
I like the one that says “I Hate You the Least,” if I had a partner I’d get them that lol. The others are not to my taste, I don’t find them unacceptable or anything, if people enjoy that sort of humour good for them, I just think they’re dead unfunny.
Is it just me or has society become a lot more… trashy? For lack of a better word
i quite like “i’m so glad you weren’t a murderer”, tbh.
i found tesco’s had a reasonable, if overpriced by about 400%, range.
Isn’t this just the “edgy” section though.
uk trying not to be a fucking oddball challenge
Trying to buy a card for any occasion is shite.
I quite like the bag for life one.
I remember the good only days when a card had two bunnies on it and it said will you be my cuddle bun. I miss paperchase!
Didn’t Shakespeare say something about moistening up her flaps too?
Half of these sound like things Mark from Peep Show would say during sex
Valentine’s Day is simply capitalism saying spend money on loved one’s
I actually got my husband the “I hate you the least” card for valentine’s day around 6 years ago. Still true.
I mean, or you could go into absolutely any supermarket and buy perfectly normal ones rather than just the ones in one specific category of an online retailer?
Or should all cards always be 100% serious and entirely to your personal taste?
Lol! I have to admit, these are brilliant! Hahaha
“Moisten your flaps”….
Bro, that’s _your_ job.
I thought this too when I was browsing for birthday cards the other week. There are so many unromantic valentine cards.
Trying to get a birthday card for my mum that wasn’t “to the most wonderful beautiful mummy in the whole wide world” or
“Have lots of wine, drink wine, your functioning alcoholism makes me laugh” was a reallll challenge
If I can be arsed to get a card I got for something deliberately awful. These are perfect, thanks
Go to Clinton’s and get a valentines card. What you talking about…
Nothing will ever top I choo choo choose you from the simpsons that’s when romance peaked
Very creative
This is my level of humour
I like the “You’re my bag for life” and “You’re my dickhead” ones. The bag for life one is the right amount of cheese for me.
I get cards from Etsy.
I’ve got some especially nice lino cut print ones for people, and it’s nice to support small makers.
I hate the trend of sweary and vulgar cards and I say this as someone who can be quite vulgar and sweary. I wanna get my friends birthday cards that say I love them and have an amazing day and not something about bumping our pussies together. I think they’re so tacky and I don’t know who’s buying these for there to be a market for them

And they say romance is dead.
Tacky but amusing.
Listen, a good poo is a good poo.

The last one I gave to my partner was this

This one was from last year.
I noticed this ‘try to be funny’ trend, too. Its kinda gross
Some real kneeslappers there
I think the dickhead one is quite sweet tbh.
I once saw a (unofficial) Harry Potter one with ‘Expecto My Penis’ emblazoned on the front…
Well if “moisten up your flaps” doesn’t get a woman going I don’t know what will
Roses are red, violets are blue,
Count yourself lucky, I only want to chuck my muck at you.
That’s peak romance

From Moonpig
For people who think pretending to be Jay from the inbetweeners is cool and attractive.
I’m an absolute child because these were all funny to me.

“Charlie this card isn’t the only thing you’ll be opening tonight?”
I think I get this but it’s not really that funny right?
“Moisten up your flaps” some would say that’s *your* job, feller…
If you are any sort of norm, your relationship is over.
I’ve never been happier to be single 😂🤮
