Look. Pretty much all of us love Facebook. There’s no reason to lie about that or cover it up. Social networking is a fun and guilty pleasure that makes our lives so much more interesting. I mean, you get it all with Facebook. Drama. Laughs. Blunders. Whining. Romance. Getting on Facebook is like watching a special episode of Days of Our Lives guest-starring Jim Carrey, Betty White, Morgan Freeman, and that one creepy guy that shows up in every movie but no one knows his name.
That being said, some work needs to be done. Facebook has been around for what, eight years now? And as I scroll through my feed I can see that people still really need a quick lesson of how to phrase their status updates so that they don’t bore the world to death.
And I get it. I get that most of our daily lives are completely boring (mine is no different), and that we need to post at least something every day to let the world know that we’re still breathing. I just think we can all do it in a way that, you know, doesn’t suck. Hopefully this little guide helps.
SO Much Less Boring
When you’re excited about food.
When your lover was amazeballs.
When you just broke a sweat.
When you just realized how
bored you currently are.
When you realize your body is falling apart.
When your kid is the cutest ever.
My best Status seems to be:
I have nothing important to say, so I thought I'd say it Here!
I've always used facebookstatuses.com to help me find great cool statuses but you make quite a valid point.
15 was my fav
#15 made me snort. Thanks.
Yes awesome ! People could be really creative in setting the words on their statu. LOL
I would just settle for some status updates. All I see lately are reposts of pics/links/videos I've seen a million times.
that one creepy guy...yeah, his name is Steve Buscemi.
Seriously, these were hysterical. Thank you for some much needed belly laughs.

Totally funny...wish I had thought of that.
Genius! Love it, as always! :)
Really, a walrus?? Male or female? ... yes it matters.
love it! :D
So Awesome!!! LOL
Omg!!! I lol out loud here in doctor's office ppl looking lmao April Wyatt Napier this so freaking funny!!!
A fun way to dress up a status about food that I recently posted... "There's a party in my mouth and nobody is invited but me." LOL Sure gets people to read the whole thing.
Garbage Pail Kids!!! <3
Funny you posted this. I recently had a funny update about getting old and falling apart (including mentions of a rascal scooter race) and also hating Mondays (with a picture of my Monday face...and fist). People need to start making Facebook more interesting!
Monday, you have a competitor as far as most hated day of the week..... it stands 3rd as rank in the week and it's the sloppy second as far as screwedupness..... and first is epic boredom... it's name is Tuesday... go fight them to win your title back.
Hahahahaha You. Are. Brilliant. More please!
You just email them directly, so I can take all the credit and look witty. Thanks!
Brandy Hawkins Mills if #15 isn't something you and I would say I don't know what is, I F***ING laughed out loud, damn!!! :)
The one about church made me spit my lunch out at my laptop screen. THANKS A LOT DAN.
Gotta say that while every re-do was an improvement, more creative, funnier...They are also longer, and you're forgetting that it seems 90% of facebookers have the attention span of a ADHD goldfish. More than 2 lines, and they are all Sweet Brown "aint nobody got time fo that!"
But its a shame.
# 17 rocks- others are funny , too
I am just never that creative when posting. Oh well. I can read your posts and crack up laughing.
Number #15 seriously rocked!!!
Not sure why, but I find your 'less boring' statuses seem much less interesting or genuine, and much more forced. A couple are very entertaining, but mostly I'd just get annoyed with you if all your posts were like this!
lol
I agree. #15. F***ing. Rocked. Seriously.
Oh, I so needed this. I'm on the verge of defriending half my account due to the mind-numbing redundancy.
#15 FTW! LMAO...
Hilarious.love it!
#15. Best.Status.Ever. Seriously, lol'd out loud loud, and am still giggling. Thank you for the laughs!!
#15. omg. dying.
#15 literally made me die laughing. I am dead now. Thank you.
May have to refer back to this at times . . . Awesome!
LMAO @ #15......
Today I was lucky enough to have an awesome status! I got to say that I was going dog sledding with my boys!
lol! Church. F***ing. Rocked.
Ok, you know I am now going to refer to this list when I post! Although, posting that I got called from the High School nurse's office that my son may have a concussion from falling out of a trash can during photo project sort of wrote itself!
I never post boring status updates anymore -- I just type what my kids say! Currently, it's a discussion between the boys (7 & 9) about the younger boy's silliness. He says it's a "Law of the Land" that he's not silly; his brother posits that Obama made an announcement on TV repealing that law.
@tracykitn I post things that come from convos with my best friend and me. Lately, her life has been a mix of "You can't make this up" meets "I should sell this to Seth McFarlane".
Caroline Herda i suppose my comment sounded a bit harsh, but that's because i watch quite a few of my friends fret that when they post something to the facebook party that they think is important to them, that it's largely ignored relative to the things individuals with more sparking 'on-line' presences have. To them it seems exactly like going to a huge party with a bunch of strangers and trying to work the crowd, when you're not a Clinton... Except it's not supposed to feel that way, because your facebook party should not be filled with strangers and we shouldn't expect our loveable wall-flower friends to suddenly show flashes of creative flare that didn't exist before, pretty much just to amuse us with their life... As far as honesty.. pick anyone of those re-written posts and ask anyone of your friends to re-phrase it that way and i suspect they would resist using the defence.. "that's not something i'd ever say or write..." :) peace.
I dont have trouble in that dept. this was my status yesterday just to prove it ;)
"Don't ya just hate it when you gotta sneeze, you go to grab a tissue but there are only a few left in the box so instead of bringing a tissue to your face you wack yourself in the head with the box?....No?.....This just happens to me?....figures....haha"
<3
Ah, so know I understand why I just keep reposting YOUR status updates to MY account! HA! So much easier.
dude! You watch Downton Abby?! I love that show LOL
You are one funny dude.
LOVED!
I would use #15 but most of my friends know I don't go to church! I love the chinese food one too!
OMG! I laughed so hard at the church one!!! LOVE IT!!
