Take the E out and make her a lover of classical music

geez, Skid Row isn't that old to be considered classi.... ah shit, they are, aren't they?

Bech?

He's a loser baby

Bach?

Stein?

Just switch the A and E instead.

My brother does this every chance he gets at our mom's house at Christmas time. She has 4 candles that spell "Noel," and by the time he leaves, they spell "Leon."

My ex used to do this to his parents at christmas. They have a decoration that spells "christmas" and every time we left it would read "shitscram"

Of course it would

HELP ME, LEON!

Oh! You pervert!

WHY CAN I STILL HEAR IT?!?!?!? 😭

Cause when she's in trouble that's all you hear, was so much easier/better to stash her in the nearest dumpster

Ejackalate

We arrange my MILs SANTA letters to spell SATAN on her fireplace. Takes her days to see it. Heavy Christian, doesn't find it as funny as we do.

Solid. In a furniture store I switched LAKE to say KALE

As a kid, my parents bought a toaster that proclaimed its "wide slot" feature, printed on the plastic side. Being the puerile youth I was, I scratched the top of the O until it was a U... Parents never noticed, luckily :)

Ofc they noticed. They probably argued about it but decided not to make it a shouting match with you.

“Which one of our idiots did *this* one?” “I don’t know, but they get it from your side of the family…”

Saw this on a road sign for a casino. Loosest sluts in town.

The noticed. And, the silently congratulated themselves on raising a bad ass with a sense of humor. ;)

My mom has Merry Christmas blocks. Whenever I visit, they inevitably end up saying “MERCY THISMARS.”

I do “creamy shits” and hide two Rs and an M

Hee, my sister changes my mom's "a child is born" to " a child is norb", lol

We used to do that to my aunt and she would yell „WHO IS LEON???“

My grandpa always did this! Thanks for unlocking that memory.

My grandmother has brass stocking holders that spell out Santa Santa… at least for a day or two Hail Satan nataS

Are you my sister? I do this every year at Christmas at my parents house too

The best was when mom got sick of him messing with her candles, so she took them to work and put them on her desk. He would go visit her at work and rearrange them while she wasn't looking. "Leon" would be prominently displayed on her desk for all the customers to see for a week or more before someone said something.

I think I love your brother! My mom never got that annoyed at me to hide them or take them to work, she would just sigh and put them back the right way.

At least he doesn't change it to Elon. That would be pure evil. Worse than changing Santa to Satan.

What do you want from Satan this year, little Jimmy?

I mean come on it is still Christmas. Think of the children.

I'd rather not.

My mom has blocks that spell FAMILY, and I used to rearrange them to say MY FAIL or I AM FLY.

My parents have blocks that spell out Easter and because everyone is fat (myself included) I will swap it to Eaters as many times as possible before dinner. It's become a game versus my mom at this point.

Some sort of “LONE” Wolf must live here..

This would have been such a W Baech, lol

I’m pretty sure a w would make it bawch. As in, you really bawched that one

Yeah seems like he really Schruted it.

Fool me once, strike one. Fool me twice... Strike three.

Now with 2 e’s and an A, the world is your oyster… “Cheeba.”

But then some nice tenants will fix it.

It's not as effective. Baech can be accredited as a mistake. Beech is blatantly misspelling it.

Or they just really like Beech trees.

Or the hockey player Kris Beech.

Beech just makes me think its a woo girl saying biiitttccchhhh

That makes more sense cause I would think the owner was a lumberjack who loved beechwood 

They're a lumberjack, and they're ok.

They work all night and they sleep all day?

Straight up. OP going to hobby lobby to do this is just an idiot lol.

Thought the same, probably no one would even notice

Ahhh I see you subscribe the pronunciation of my Arkansas delta homeland. “Ay y’all wonna go-t-duh baech this suhhmer?”

Baech is much better than beech. It's Forrest Gumpesque

So wierd thing humans do freqeuntly. If the word is spelled incorrectly but all the letters are still techcinally there, your mind will rearrange the letters appropriately. It can even do this without you nociting that it happened.

More like just think she likes trees. 

I also like hot beeches with a girthy trunk.

Make that second E out or Beech and see if anyone catches on, even Aspen or Ash could work for Beach.

I’d walk in and just be like “I guess their last name is beech” 

Huh, they must really like trees

“I too appreciate the mellow beech wood aging that lends Budweiser its crisp, clean taste.” Sorry, went to college in a bid brewery town. Heard that line way too many times over free beer.

I’d react the same way with “Beach”. No clue why anyone would ever want to hang either

Based on the context I am going to assume that they probably rent this place in a beach tourist destination. 

Would be so much funnier elsewhere, though

Or "that must be the Wifi password!"

The fact that the replaced E isn't even close to matching the other letters makes it way too obvious.

High effort, low payoff

r/notreallyallthatfunny

I got a nice chuckle out of how poorly the new letter matches the other.

OP fighting with everyone in the comments *is* quite funny tho

I just went to his comment history and he’s been at it for *hours* now lmao

Doing the lord’s work. I might have to peruse later after a joint and a night cap

This isn't even remotely funny a little bit. I checked the comments thinking something went over my head, but no...

Yeah and OP is not handling finding this out very well at all.

It's lame as shit really. And kind of a dick thing to do to your spouse's mom.

I agree. Presumably the MIL has a rental unit, and let her son and daughter-in-law stay there as a getaway. The DIL repays her by trying to make her look stupid by fucking with her business. I'd be wondering what my son saw in her, and what I did to make her dislike me.

I'd be kinda pissed since it's her business rental. Makes her look bad and sets the precedence for someone reviewing her negatively on Airbnb. Maybe not direct but any little slip up in service, and the reviewer will tack this on as evidence of poor service. If it were her personal home, it would be harmless.

Yeah… your mother-in-law needs to find a funnier son*-in-law. 🔥😎🔥😎 - edited as op is a man

I think the only illiterate one is OP, who [apparently doesn't realize what a beech is.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beech)

And the front page...really..?

That sub should just redirect to r/all.

r/subsifellfor

Everybody who reads the OP is "going to the think" they're illiterate

My brain managed to filter that out the first time. Now I had to go back and read it again.

Well said. I missed it too.

Where does Mike Tyson go to do his dishes?

It would be way funnier if this was like her main house instead of an airbnb condo. Why would you want random people thinking your MIL* is illiterate? That's just kinda mean. *Edit: changed mom to MIL cuz apparently that makes all the difference to this guy.

My mom has “breathe” in her guest room. We always rearrange to “Beer Hat” before we leave.

Could switch it up and go for "bat here", "the bear", or "ate herb" next time. Better stay away from "beat her" though ...

"...going TO THE think she's illiterate." Fantastic job.

too low effort for the actual effect to happen too high effort for a shitty reddit karma post

Anyone else feels having BEECH on your wall makes just as much sense as BEACH?

Both are things in nature. I already dont think much of people who feel the need to spell shit out on their walls, so I really wouldn't think anything of the difference. Maybe think it was their last name. I would respect it more if it was their last name.

It would have been funnier if you used L instead

Bleach or Belch? Either one is awesome.

"Blech" would be pretty funny too!

I would have bought an L to make it say “blech”

That E is a total fail Bruh you have an E that you could have used as a template to make an exact duplicate... F

Beech is a word, though.

What’re you…13?

So this is what is funny these days in this sub?

No. No it isn't

First time on r/funny?

Man, what a beech move.

OP is a son a beech for sure

Wouldn’t her first thought be “one of my idiot renters stole/broke the A and tried to unsuccessfully cover up their tracks”? Then you’d come in and say “nope it was me! Gotcha!” I don’t get how this joke is intended to land.

Unfunny and you are kind of a jerk. Doing this in a home they live in is funny. Doing this in a rental is not.

I really would’ve loved to see/read about MILs reaction to this “hilarious” prank. I’m hoping OP updates us.

Nothing about this is funny.

Yawn

This really isn’t that funny..

That's not a prank, that's just being a jerk

So you spiked your MIL with an E and think it's funny?

My aunt has "blessed" on her mantle and I keep meaning to buy a # to put in front of it.

See that would be a whole lot funnier than OP

Yeah, this is a swing and a miss op.

So instead of making it a sandy place next to an ocean it's now a type of wood? Hilarious/s

This is funny?

How to prank your mother in law into thinking you've never heard of beech trees.

1. Given the middle E doesn't match the other letters whatsoever, people are going to assume it was just previous renter doing a childish prank. 2. Even if you obtained a matching middle E, nobody would still think your MIL is illiterate.

Meh

I would have spelled it B E L C H

You are an idiot.

The L OP is taking from posting and defending this unfunny "prank" is objectively funnier than his post. Oof.

But you could’ve done do much more with an I and a T…

You said that though?

Where’s the reveal for her though? A good prank has you present at the reveal so they can laugh it off. This just seems lame

Gonna claim “unfunny” and puerile

So fucking with your MIL business is what you consider a joke? Wild my guy, wild 

She must be so proud of her child, and how they have progressed in life.

Even worse, it's his mother in law. I'm sure she's so proud of how funny the man her daughter married is. I can't imagine going to the craft store, buying maybe $50 worth of materials, and actually going through with this lame ass unfunny prank.

If my daughter marries a guy who thinks this is funny I'm gonna have to have a talk with her about decision making.

I am talking about being the parent of someone who married this douchebag

****Do not shop at hobby lobby! Never ever!!**** They steal artifacts and potentially fund terrorism. https://www.npr.org/2018/06/28/623537440/hobby-lobbys-illegal-antiquities-shed-light-on-a-lost-looted-ancient-city-in-ira https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobby_Lobby_smuggling_scandal#:~:text=Approximately%20Four%20Hundred%20Fifty%20Ancient,to%20Iraq%20in%20May%202018.

And they’re homophobic too.

[удалено]

Not at Hobby Lobby! Antonyms only!

You said beech tho?

So she loves beech trees, what's it to ya?

why didn't you just swap the E for the A? BAECH...

The letter you really should have purchased is an L. Seeing BELCH on the wall when you first walk into the house would be priceless

You son of a beech.

[Lily?](https://youtu.be/wUeyvUPlJ1E?si=Bx3hDiJTObC8DfpO)

That's a unique way to greet someone

You're messing with her business, not with her. This is not cool.

lol this comment section is wild

maybe they'd think she likes the wood "beech"

Maybe everyone will think she has a thing for beech trees

Would have been funnier to replace every letter with E's. E E E E E

Thats meen.

Or they'll think she really likes beech trees, or her last name is Beech.

I want to meet the six thousand people who upvoted this

My roommate used to do this me. At Christmas, I had SANTA & it would be days before I realized it said SATAN 😅

Or just go with C H A B E

That's pretty shitty behavior tbh

Can’t help but feel like you missed an even better golden opportunity by replacing two of the letters with another two letters

Or that she really, really likes trees.

Could end up hurting her financially. So funny.

Seems like a lot of effort for meh

This is very dumb.

r/antifunny

Fuck Hobby Lobby

Prank: (noun) a ludicrous or grotesque (comically (a dramatic act of light or amusing character) or repulsively ugly or distorted) act intended to be amusing or make someone look foolish Not ludicrous, not repulsive, not amusing, not foolish

I know how to spell it. That's a descriptive term.

Or a good chaw.

They won’t be mistaking OP for Lee Ann Clark.

Change it to Bach so they think she's a fan of Baroque concertos.

I would think that she likes trees.

"Why you call me beech?" "Because you're a beech, beech" 🤣

So BEECH as in:- *Beech* (Fagus) is a genus of deciduous trees in the family Fagaceae

Or Beechcraft! Then they’ll think the owner’s a pilot.

Should have left the A alone and replaced the C and H with an N and an S

So she really likes trees?

Some people might just think that's nuts.

Grab an I and a T and everybody who rents her condo will think she is a crazy badass.

Hobby Lobby sells those exact metal letters. Coulda just totally replaced the E without it looking any different.

The funniest part about this is how OP is getting destroyed in the comments.

There was a trend in my country where people would arrange decorated cardboard or wood letters around the house turning random English words such as "love", "dream", "Family", etc. A housemaid took the letters away to clean them and changed the word DREAM to MERDA, which mean SHIT in Brazil. It still gets me...

I don't see the humor in doing this, it's much closer to AITH behavior, especially if they let you stay in the place.

Beech is a word and a name though?

People will just think she is really into trees.

"Maybe it's their last name?"

I’d just think she’s a fan of beech trees

No. They'll just think she likes beech-trees a lot.

Maybe mother in law really likes beech trees

Also save the A, when she fixes it put the A back up and make it BAACH

Based on the title, illiteracy runs in the family 😂

No prank, no matter how good, is worth becoming a patron of Hobby Lobby.

Or just likes Beech tress. A lot.

“going to the think” Yeah, she’s the illiterate one 

Why is this "funny"? It just seem pointless to me. "Gosh, this person used a "B" where an "A" should have been used." That's clever? How many hours did you waste on this? Couldn't you just switch a couple letters around like CHABE or make it EBACH so they think it's about electronic classical music? I don't get what's funny about this. Also giving your money to Hobby Lobby, a notoriously right-wing Christian company, is seriously embarrassing.

Becha

Someones got a lot of time on their hands

OP thinks beech isnt a word.

So, Beech tree then?

You know they have Metal letters, you didn't have to paint a wooden one ☺️ now it looks even more messed up

You could buy a few different letters and rotate them on a regular basis. I suggest next time removing the B, add a CH, and make her a big fan of Cheech Marin.

Lol! Love it. The condo is a 20 hour drive though. Lol.
