Hi, I’m Larry Weaver. I’m going to show you how to create your own Printable Awards in just sixty seconds. We’ll be using my book, Funny Employee Awards and free Adobe Reader software. The book contains dozen of hilarious awards and because it’s in PDF format, you can type directly onto the certificates. Just pick an award you like, type in the recipient name, date, and presenter’s name. Choose print. Select your printer, and hit OK. It’s really that easy. Now you may have your own ideas for awards and we’ve given you some blank templates to create your own. Just type in the award name, what the award is for – customize it any way you like. These awards are a lot of fun and they’re perfect for any employee or type of business. Visit FunnyEmployeeAwards.com to get your copy today!

It's about time for end of the year office party season to begin. This means awkward dinner conversation, subjecting your new boyfriend/girlfriend to your dysfunctional coworkers, and - best of all - funny awards presentations.
I'm collecting stories and award ideas for my new site dedicated to funny awards, www.FunnyEmployeeAwards.com. There you will find:
Apparently any business can be subjected to funny awards. They are most often associated with office parties, but no worker is immune. They're not unique to the U.S., either. The British particularly seem to enjoy a good "cheeky" awards presentation.
I once had a boss ask me to PhotoShop the head of one of my female coworkers onto the body of a bikini model. I explained to him that this seemed... well, inappropriate, and that I wanted no part of it. Undeterred, he used the old-fashioned scissors and glue method to fashion a funny award certificate featuring the head of my coworker pasted onto the body of WWE women's wrestler Chyna. I don't recall the award, but I'll always remember the uncomfortable presentation that ensued. It was truly a moment worthy of The Office's Michael Scott himself.
