- Ooh, wow. She has some skills.
- Buddy, just run away. Run away from this girl, please.
- Consoles are forever. Relationships are not.
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) The internet absolutely loves reading people's
text messages. - Yes.
I do love reading those text messages.
- (FBE) So today, we're gonna show you
some of the most savage breakup texts.
- All right, those are always funny.
I'm excited to see those.
- Aw, I have a feeling they're gonna be
really funny, though.
- They're funny, 'cause some people deserve them,
but sometimes they don't and you're like,
"That's a little too hard."
- If you had a relationship, you should at least
pay the respect to breakup to their face.
Don't hide behind your phone.
- Let's do it. I love the creative ways
that people come up with to break up with people,
so this is gonna be good.
- "But I'm breaking up with you." "What?"
"I'm sorry. It's just that I don't feel
the same way about you anymore."
"I think you have the wrong number."
- "Oh wow. I'm sorry, how awkward lol.
But do you think that's a bad way to tell them?"
Yes. The answer to that question
is yes.
- Why didn't you call them? You shouldn't--
breaking up over text, that's a dangerous move,
I gotta say. But I guess this isn't
the worst way to end it.
- That's awkward. He's like, "I just got
broken up with someone I wasn't with."
I guess that's nice enough. It's honest.
- That seems like a sincere breakup,
but over text. The couple should have just
broken up differently, in person.
- How do you get your boyfriend or girlfriend's
number wrong to the point where you have to text
some random person? Breakup texts don't really
make sense half the time and this is definitely
Exhibit A of how it doesn't make sense.
- X-Boy? "I think we should see
other people." "... Roses are red,
violets are blue. You really thought
I would cry over you? I said I loved you.
You thought that was true. Well guess what, player?
You just got played too."
- Ooh, wow. She has some skills.
That took some creative thought into it.
Proud. Honestly, that's a good way
to respond to something like that.
- This is a good one. Not only did she just flame him,
but she also used the incorrect version of "too."
- That's creative. I could not rhyme like that at all.
I can barely rhyme.
- I like this person. They're like, "Whatever.
I'm creative. You're missing out
on my creativity."
- Even the contact name, X-Boy, no one really calls
their ex, X-Boy. No one ever,
and if you do, that's probably why
you got broken up with.
- Dan. I like this.
This is one that has his name.
It's actually personal. It's like they almost were dating.
- "We need to break up." "Is it because I said
your sister was hot?" "God no!
It's because you repulse me sexually."
"Oh." That's unfortunate.
- There's just so many things wrong with this.
First of all, why would you tell your girlfriend
that her sister's hot? That's not something you say
to anybody at all and then why are you
even with a person if they repulse you sexually?
This relationship was screwed from the start.
- That's just messed up. I'd be heartbroken
if someone said that to me.
- They just aren't good for each other.
He thinks her sister's hot and she just doesn't
like him at all sexually, so that's just a mess.
They needed to break up.
- I'm not a relationship expert, but I think these people
just need to sit back and learn how people
are supposed to talk to each other.
- "Wanna see a magic trick?" "Sure, babe.
Smiley face." "Poof, you're single."
Rip.
- I would do that one, actually. That one's really funny.
If someone I just don't care about, I would totally do that.
- It's a little too to the point. I don't know.
Unless you caught them cheating or something.
It's like, bam, okay.
- Maybe she did something really bad and then
you know what? She deserves it for that.
- That's harsh, man. She was so excited, too.
"Sure, babe." Aw, I love you.
Still slightly comedic, but that was low.
- This is definitely something that an eighth grader wrote.
This is obvious because of the emojis
and honestly, the word "babe" makes me cringe.
So I'm glad this relationship's over.
- The peach emoji, which, if you don't know,
symbolizes a butt. Eyes and a tongue.
Pretty obvious. "Nope.
That was my butt so you can kiss it goodbye."
- "What the [bleep], Caitlyn?" "Hahaha"
"Like you're breaking up with me?"
Happy face, fire emoji.
- That one was tragic. That's classic millennial,
teenager now. Breaking up over with emoji.
- They probably hung out once in person and literally had
a whole entire text relationship. It's what I got from that.
- This is the definitely ideal way to break up with someone
over text, if you're gonna do it over text,
which I don't advise.
- I'd be so confused if I got this.
Buddy, just run away. Run away from this girl, please.
- "Well we can still be friends." "Promise?"
"Pinky." "Okay.
Can I ask you for a favor?" "Anything."
"Go shove that pinky promise up your ass.
You broke my heart, [bleep]."
- So petty, bro. This punchline was horrible.
"Go shove that pinky promise up your ass."
Okay. I'm the one that broke up
with you anyway. Just weird.
- That is a good one. It's classic.
I like that he added, "Yeah, we just broke up,
but we can still be friends." She's like, "No way.
[Bleep] off."
- It's kinda hard to be friends after a breakup,
to be honest. There's some people you can--
it just was mutual and you're like, "I don't know."
But if this person really got hurt, there's no way
you could be friends with that person,
so she's angry, obviously, or he, whoever.
- If a person's that harsh when they're breaking up with you,
clearly you guys probably had a rough relationship anyways,
'cause people don't just switch like that on a dime.
- The person sending it is being very weirdly flirty
with somebody that just broke up.
That's just a little weird. How about you try to be
a little bit more sensitive.
- "I need to tell you something." "What is it, babe?"
"I broke your Xbox." "What?"
"Just kidding. I'm cheating on you."
"So my Xbox is okay, right?"
- That's how you always break bad news
is you put it in an Oreo. Good, bad, good.
- He just doesn't care at all. He cares about more his Xbox
than his girlfriend. That would never be my case.
I would definitely care way more instead of my Xbox.
- None of these people are in the right.
Both of them need to get their stuff together.
- I wonder why she was cheating on him.
Probably because he was on his Xbox all the time,
but that's still no excuse. These are all so sad
because they're funny and the reason they're funny
is because they care so little about the relationship.
- That's me right there. I wouldn't care
as long as you don't touch my consoles, it's all good.
Consoles are forever. Relationships are not.
- "Hey," smiley face. "Hey... we need to talk."
"Yeah?" "Our relationship is doing
push ups on your knees. It's just not working out."
"What? OMG, did you just
break up with me?"
- I don't know where you come up with this stuff.
That's just genius on a whole other level.
- Smart thinking. Impressive,
but Sara really didn't see that coming.
- I still feel a little bit in my arms.
I do girl push ups, but I mean,
that was a little creative, to be honest.
- Push ups on your knees do work.
People do them all the time, so that didn't make sense.
This person has to go back and reevaluate that
and then break up with them again
because you have to do it properly.
- How about actually expressing how you're feeling
instead of making puns just to break somebody's heart.
What a way to go viral. You destroyed your relationship
so that you could be famous on the internet
and we're feeding into it. We're reacting to it right now
and this is our fault, but also it's your fault.
You shouldn't have done that.
- "Hi, I had a lot of fun getting pizza and watching
The Muppets, but I don't see this going anywhere romantic
and I don't actually like the Muppets.
It was really nice meeting you." I feel like this is such
an after your first Tinder date text.
- I love this. This is classic and sweet.
She was trying to be classy. Wasn't even a breakup.
She was just telling him she's not that into him,
but she watched The Muppets for him even though
she didn't like it.
- Pizza and Muppets? That's not a good date at all.
I can't see that going well in any way.
- She was just like, "It was fun
and it was nice meeting you, but I don't see it
going anywhere." You might as well end it
if you already know, 'cause you don't wanna
drag people along, so good decision.
- At least you got a free movie, right?
The Muppets are classic and if the person's
not gonna like a classic, you probably shouldn't
be with them anyway.
- If I was the person receiving this,
I would go, "Screw you. It's the Muppets."
I don't wanna be in a relationship with somebody who doesn't
like the Muppets.
- "Listen, it was really cute that we bonded over
the nostalgia of being 14 and loving blink-182,
but I didn't realize that's all you listen to.
And you peed my bed when I was sleeping
in it with you. I think we should see other people."
This accelerated so fast.
- This person's in the wrong. You shouldn't break up
with someone 'cause they peed in your bed.
You should feel bad. They're probably already
super embarrassed, so you might as well
not make them feel like that even more, so forget this person.
It's over.
- I think I'd come up with a different excuse,
'cause I wouldn't want to embarrass them.
Okay, the blink-182 thing, that's a little bit of a jab,
but it's kind of funny.
- The blink-182 thing is nothing compared to peeing the bed
probably as a full grown person.
- Come on, blink-182 is a huge band.
If all they listen to was Kidz Bop, I'd be like,
"Yeah, you know what? We're--"
That's okay. Peed the bed while they
were sleeping in it. That's worse.
That's a problem.
- That's crazy. I would never forgive
someone for doing that. You shouldn't be in
a relationship if you're still wetting the bed.
You gotta learn how to do that first
before you do anything.
- (FBE) What did you think about all these crazy texts?
- They're really funny, but also sad
how blunt people are. That's so brutally honest.
Makes me uncomfortable and so grateful that I know,
one, not to do that and two, that that hasn't
happened to me. I feel like if you're in
a long term relationship like that, you have enough
respect for the other person to not break up with them
over text.
- I don't get how people do that to people.
Come on, just be a man, be a woman.
Just go and talk to that person, either in person,
phone call if you have to. People break up now
over Snapchat, too, which is weird
because that's even more informal than texts.
Come on, just grow up.
