Funny Superlatives - Award Ideas and Certificates

Funny superlatives are a great way to add laughter to any high school reunion, family reunion, or office party. They typically take the format of "most likely to...", but they can also be definitive statements such as most popular, friendliest, or best smile. So what are superlatives? By definition, a superlative simply means being the extreme degree of comparison of an adjective or adverb, as in best or brightest. In other words, something of the highest possible excellence.

A classic list of superlatives includes biggest geek (or nerd), most likely to succeed, biggest flirt, most popular, class clown, most talkative, quietest, and biggest partier.

Superlatives can work great in the office or workplace, too. But due to the sensitive nature of the U.S. workplace, you'll want to shy away from references to appearance or character traits that could potentially embarrass the recipient. Instead, create funny coworker superlatives that focus on humorous situations common to the office. Some examples include:

• the employee always eating other people's food
• the person most likely to lose paperwork
• the worker most likely to forward annoying emails
• the person most likely to put their foot in their mouth
• the employee least likely to arrive on time
• the staff member most likely to be surfing the Internet instead of working

The hard part in coming up with funny superlative ideas is making them funny. After all, the idea is to create a few laughs, not awkward tension. That's why we've assembled a team of top comedians and office workers to do the work for you. Download the certificates and start handing out these funny superlatives right away!

Certificate Jackets - Certificate Holders and Frames

Certificate jackets, also known as certificate holders, are a low-cost way to really dress up your awards presentation. They come in various colors and prices. The one pictured below is a blue certificate jacket with embossed gold trim:

The brand most widely available is Southworth, who makes both jackets and holders. The difference is the jacket has a front and back flap (like a file folder), and a holder typically only has a backing (mounted like a picture frame).

I prefer the certificate jacket, and you can purchase a cheap certificate jacket at you local office supply store or Amazon.com for close to one dollar each. They typically come in packs of either 5 or 10. Just go to Amazon.com and search for "Southworth certificate jackets".

If you're looking for something even more impressive, check out these certificate frames.
