Couples Who Broke Up In The Most Hilarious Ways Possible

Break-ups are almost always awkward, but some just sting a little more than others. Luckily for us, the internet is rife with the most heart-wrenching, cringe-worthy examples of awkward break-ups, especially when the person doing the dumping decides to do so in the most creative (and public) way possible. The days of “It’s not you, it’s me” are officially behind us — say hello to the days of public embarrassment, crafty break-up texts, and cruel social media posts.

1. Tasty goodbye

As far as break-ups go, this one seems pretty great to us. Not only do you get to start fresh in the dating world, but you also get pizza, which is always a win. It would’ve been really unfortunate if you were lactose intolerant, though!

2. Warning sign

When your SO writes “I am divorcing you” on a huge public sign, you can safely assume that it won’t be a pleasant parting of ways. The sucker-punch of “I am keeping the dog” truly makes this a most devastating dumping. 

3. Farewell portrait

Maybe you're just not good at the "writing" thing — no problem! You can still instigate a break-up by drawing a picture for your soon-to-be ex. This guy’s doodle of himself riding a giraffe definitely made us smile...but we’re guessing his ex had a different reaction!

4. Bad pun

The rule of thumb is that you shouldn’t express anything important over text, but obviously, that doesn’t always happen. Especially here, when one fed-up SO decided to break things off as painlessly (and hilariously) as possible by cracking a joke.
