It’s Thursday! It’s the middle of the 7-day week and a day before the weekend starts. Everyone is excited and wants to make sure everything goes well before the weekend so they try to tie up loose ends and are already planning for the coming weekend.
So, of course there will be a bunch of Happy Thursday greetings everywhere, it’s natural to want a happy Thursday.
But what do you say when you’re told to have a happy Thursday? How can you reply to this greeting? Would you go for a funny use of puns like “Happy Thor’s day to you too!”? Or with a more formal “wishing you a pleasant Thursday”?
Funny Replies to Happy Thursday
Want to add a little humor to the life of somebody? Tickle a funny bone or two? Here are some replies you might find that do just that;
Happy Thor’s Day! May the hammer of joy strike you with laughter from Asgard!
Well, it seems we are definitely starting high as this one would be pretty awesome to use around the nerds or geeks, gamers, movie lovers (especially those of the fandom of the Marvel Universe or Viking stories), mythology readers, etc.
They would surely have a good laugh with such a fine show of wordplay and the use of puns to a finer level of cultured humor. Odin would be proud, oh brave warrior!
Thursdays are like the middle child of the week, trying to be noticed. Well, hello there, Thursday!
This one is a little weird, I know. But hey! Weird is the new funny! A reply like this ought to crack them up so bad that they might fall. It’s hilarious!
It highlights the fact that Thursday is the true middle of the week, not the work week mind you, which is five days, going from Monday to Friday, but the actual, full 7-day week counting from Sunday to Saturday.
And who does not love a little personification of the days of the week? More than one reason to be howling in laughter with this one.
Happy Thursday! It’s like a mini celebration before the real party starts on Friday.
Having a three-day weekend, Thursday naturally is the weekend’s eve. It is the day right before the weekend hype is in full swing. For most folks, especially those that work a white-collar job from 9 to 5 every day, Thursday is the day they start planning for the weekend runs and resting time to restock for the next week.
So, when the day comes and you happen to be greeted with a happy Thursday, you can use this reply to tell them how excited you are about the weekend.
Happy Throwback Thursday! Time to dig out those embarrassing old photos and reminisce about the good ol’ days.
This one is a great fit for social media influencers, content creators, or simply friends and family on a social media group chat who have.
Or, just as a call to reminisce about the good old days and cringe at embarrassing memories.
Happy Thursday! It’s the day when you can pretend to be productive while secretly planning your weekend.
This is a pretty crazy reply as it means you and the people involved are all partners in crime at playing the part of the hardworking employee who is grinding and breezing through the paperwork or manual labor (depending on the manner of the work), while secretly hoping the day goes by as fast as it possibly can and while of course planning on groceries or how you could hang out with your buddies or even playing games or a date with your significant other.
So, this can also be used as encouragement to say that they should hold on one more day and it will be the weekend and they could have some leisure. But remember, you might not want your boss or superior to hear that.
Thursday: the day when you realize you still haven’t accomplished half of the things you planned to do this week.
Thursday as a day can be beautiful, but can also be dreadful, you have the TGIF (Thank God It’s Friday), haze on Fridays, but before that, it can get a bit depressing on Thursdays, especially when the week didn’t exactly go according to plan in those regards.
When that happens, Thursdays can suck. And sometimes, you might want to actually express that you feel that way, albeit subtly letting it out. In that case, this response to “Happy Thursday” is just right and even hilarious to respond with.
Happy Thursday! Just a friendly reminder that it’s perfectly acceptable to start thinking about lunch at 9 am.
When you are a witty person and want to show that sense of humor and elicit a few laughs, this is one way to do it. It serves quite nicely to be used as a quick round of comic relief and also a way to let others know not to forget about their need to take a break and eat sometimes.
In the end, everyone would be more at ease to work through the day. It is a good and witty reply that would ease the tension that comes with their hectic workdays.
Thursdays are days where you can play around with your weird fashion ideas
This response is good for a little comedy with the wardrobe like socks that don’t match or a tie on your head, maybe add a little comic flair to your work outfit.
Of course, enough that it will not get you into that much trouble with your boss or supervisor. “I’m gonna go crazy and make a fashion statement since it has been a tough week and since it is going to be the weekend soon”.
And you could use this reply to show your intentions of being the odd one out on that day. Or just to be the funny one and say but not do it.
It’s Thursday! The day that feels like a supermodel trying to blend in with the ordinary weekdays.
Some people just love Thursdays, mostly because of different reasons, like having some good stuff to look forward to on that day of the week, or maybe good memories made consecutively on such a day, or even just a wholly different reason altogether.
If you happen to be one of them, you can express that easily, with some added spunk, using this response. Show people that you like Thursday today!
Happy Thursday! Remember, it’s not how you start the week; it’s how you finish it with a flourish… or a nap.
This comes with a funny twist. They would think you wanted to give an inspiring sermon on how with the right attitude and some positivity and hard work, they could change a bad start to the week into a better ending than they expected all in one day.
But instead, you would hit them with a line about ending it prosperously or with a nap to rest off the week’s stress.
It’s funny but also says to them that some nap time during the weekend is good after a rough week at work.
Formal Replies to Happy Thursday
In a situation where you’re at work, with your boss or superior, a colleague, or even a customer or client, these would be more appropriate;
Thank you! I hope you have a delightful Thursday as well
Using a reply like this can be best for formal occasions.
Like say a situation where your boss or superior wishes you a “Happy Thursday”, saying “thank you! I hope you have a delightful Thursday as well”, would easily convey your gratitude for his care and for his well-wishes and also convey how glad you are for receiving such good wishes.
It is polite and straight to the point, while also showing how happy you were that they wished you well
Wishing you a pleasant Thursday as well. May it be filled with productivity and success.
This could be used easily with a colleague or a coworker. Especially when you happen to be in a cordial relationship at work and hold meaningful conversations during your breaks.
A productive Thursday makes it much easier to get into the weekend on a good note and without much worry for the next week.
So, giving a reply like this is great to show your care for them and how you hope they have better results that day.
Thank you for your kind wishes. I wish you a prosperous and fulfilling Thursday.
This is more fitting for a superior or a nice stranger that greets you out of the blue. Wishing them a prosperous and fulfilling Thursday takes into consideration most of the needs they might have or things they might want to achieve that day, even if you did not care much for it.
And it is also a nice thing to say to anyone that greets you with such nice words. Reciprocating like this can make your gratitude to them known, while also not being awkward or going over the socially acceptable line of allowable relations with strangers or a superior.
I appreciate your greeting. May this Thursday bring you joy and accomplishment
A blessing and prayer for the person that wished you well and wishing them well right back, as well as showing them that you care.
It is a great way to show grace when speaking to people you do not necessarily know very well or are close to. So you can use this reply to reciprocate their kind gesture.
Thank you for the well-wishes. I extend the same wishes to you for a wonderful Thursday.
This is just straight out of the box. Nothing unnecessary. It is a simple reply that directly reciprocates their gesture with your own.
Using this might sometimes come off as politely dismissive, but it is just fine for any occasion to be polite. Especially if you are in a hurry or want nothing more than to return to what you were doing before then.
I’m grateful for your kind words. May your Thursday be filled with positivity and fruitful endeavors.
Another prayer with good wishes for a prosperous Thursday. When a stranger greets you with a simple “Happy Thursday”, and is met with a long prayer like this, it makes them happy to have greeted you nicely as you return more than was given.
They would be more inclined to want to greet you any time they saw you as they know your response would make them feel good about the day and may even psych them up for a long day’s work.
Thank you, and may your Thursday be marked by progress and favorable outcomes.
This would be good to use at work for colleagues or the ones in a small community setting where everyone knows everyone.
It is similar to some others in this formal category as it simply says good wishes to whoever it was that greeted you Happy Thursday.
You can use this to send them your good thoughts for the positive outcomes you hope for them to have that day. Everyone wants progress, so anyone would love a response like this.
I appreciate your thoughtful greeting. I hope you have a productive and enjoyable Thursday.
For a regular greeting of Happy Thursday, a boss saying this to his employees or a superior saying this to his subordinates would make them quite happy and more willing to work hard that day knowing that the ones in higher positions are in a good mood and also care about the wellbeing of the workers.
Thank you for your warm wishes. I wish you a successful and fulfilling Thursday as well.
“Happy Thursday!”, “Thank you for your warm wishes. I wish you a successful and fulfilling Thursday as well…”. This would be a nice thing to tell anyone about anything, it would make the ones told this very happy.
They would want to reciprocate with another response of their own and it would flow. It is a good thing to have such back and forth with any kind of strangers, coworkers, subordinates, or even superiors.
A single good response can make a person’s day much brighter and easier to look forward to.
I’m grateful for your kind message. I hope you have a splendid Thursday. Do your best today, you can definitely do it.
Say you were in a higher position and you wanted to give a word of encouragement to the one who greeted you.
Or you have a struggling colleague you talk to and you both understand each other and they always look tired, and they summon the will to drop you a happy Thursday greeting, using this as a response to their greetings will help convey your understanding of their situation and your acknowledgment of their hard work.
