If you’ve ever broken a bone, chances are you’ve had to wear a cast to help it heal. Casts have been used for thousands of years, with the earliest known form dating back to ancient Egypt. In those times, tree bark was used to support the limb, which was then wrapped in linen until the bone healed.
While it’s unclear when exactly people began signing casts, it’s a practice that has been common for at least a few generations. Some people even decorate their casts with bright-colored materials or specially designed covers. Signing a cast can encourage the healing process, and below we list some funny things to write on a cast.
How to Create Your Funny Message for a Cast
Creating a personalized and funny message on a cast can make your friend smile and feel better during their recovery. Here are some tips to help you come up with your unique message:
- Decide on a tone: Choose a tone that is appropriate for your friend’s situation. Consider their sensitivity towards their injury before choosing or writing your message. A humorous message like “Break a leg” might be funny to some, but not to others.
- Use an inside joke or shared memory: A message based on an inside joke or a shared memory can be funny and personal. It reminds your friends that they have people rooting for their recovery and supporting them.
- Get inspiration from popular culture: If you’re struggling to come up with something clever, reference something funny from popular culture that your friend likes. Make sure it’s something they’re familiar with, so they can appreciate the humor without explanation.
- Draw a picture: A picture can be worth a thousand laughs or smiles. Draw something that you think will bring a smile to your friend’s face, such as pretty flowers, a stick-figure version of you and your friend, or a tombstone dedicated to their injured limb.
Things you can write on a cast:
- “I was trying to be a superhero… didn’t work out”
- “Temporary Exoskeleton”
- “$5 per story”
- “Superhero in Disguise”
- “Break a leg! Oh, wait…” (for a leg cast)
- “Call me if you need a hand!” (for a wrist/arm cast)
- “My hero”
- “Draw a stick figure portrait”
- “Autograph collection in progress”
- “Handle with care – fragile contents inside”
- “I’m ‘armless, promise!” (for an arm cast)
- “This cast is ‘off the hook’!”
- “It’s not a fashion statement, it’s a lifestyle”
- “Signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours!”
- “Cast away!”
- “Now accepting funny doodles”
- “Caution: Do not feed the broken limb”
- “This is my ‘get well soon’ card to myself”
- “Fashionably fractured”
- “This cast is a real conversation ‘breaker’”
- “Can’t touch this!” (for a hand cast)
- “For the best doodles, break a bone”

Remember to keep it positive, uplifting, and humorous. Avoid making any exaggerated or false claims. You can use puns, wordplay, and play-on words to make your message more creative and entertaining.
In addition, you can also offer ad space on your friend’s cast for others to sign and write their own uplifting messages. Using a sharpie on a leg or arm cast can make it easier for others to sign.
Overall, writing a funny message on a cast can show your friend that you care and support them during their recovery. It can also bring a smile to their face and help them feel better soon.
