Well, most of the time. Some grandparents have absolutely no filter, and that’s exactly what makes them so bloody funny. Whether it’s Grandma delivering a savage comeback, Grandpa sending a cheeky text, or Nan casually roasting the entire family over Sunday lunch, these funny grandparents certainly know how to keep everyone on their toes. The best part? Half the time, they don’t even realise they’ve said something hilarious. We’ve rounded up 23 savage grandparents whose funny messages, unexpected comebacks, and questionable sense of humour deserve a round of applause. And if your own Nan has ever given you a nickname you’d rather forget, you’ll appreciate these [ideas for what to call the grandparents](https://stayathomemum.com.au/family/parenting/whats-in-a-grandparents-name/). Grab a cuppa, get comfortable, and prepare for a good laugh.
