Sorry you are leaving. Who am I going to blame things on now? Best of luck, and please do not forget about us little people.

Congratulations on your escape! The rest of us are still working on our tunnel. Good luck out there.

I am not saying you were the glue that held this place together, but I am definitely updating my CV just in case. All the best!

Good luck with the new job! Just remember, the grass is not always greener. Sometimes it is just different grass with different problems. But you will be great.

I would say this place will not be the same without you, but honestly, it was barely holding together with you. Have a brilliant time wherever you end up!

Leaving already? We were just getting used to you. Typical. Have a fantastic time, and do not be a stranger.
humorous
Best of luck with the new role! Try not to peak too early. Save some of that enthusiasm for at least the second week.
humorous
You are leaving and taking all the good banter with you. This is a direct attack on team morale. Wishing you all the best, you traitor.

Writing Tips

Keep it affectionate

The best leaving jokes come from a place of warmth. You are teasing because you care, not because you want to upset anyone. If it could be read as mean, pick a different line.

Close with something genuine

A quick "Seriously though, you will be properly missed" after the joke ties everything together and makes the whole message feel balanced.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I write a funny leaving message for someone I do not know well?
Generic office humour works perfectly for colleagues you are not close to. Jokes about escape plans, updating CVs, and surviving without them are safe, universal, and always get a smile.
What if the person is leaving under difficult circumstances?
If the departure is not entirely voluntary, keep the humour very light or skip it altogether. A warm, supportive message is always more appropriate when the circumstances are sensitive.
