The best funny doormats add a little sass to your porch or hallway. A doormat is an essential part of making guests feel welcome, with an added bonus of keeping their footwear clean as they enter your home. Our best overall funny doormat from Gorilla Grip is geared toward dog owners and adds a touch of whimsy to front doors everywhere. If that particular pattern doesn't speak to you, don't worry—there are 26 more to choose from. Take a look below and find your favorite funny doormat.
Gorilla Grip durable natural rubber door mat
Staff pick
Dog lovers and pet owners will especially appreciate Gorilla Grip's low-profile, easy-to-clean doormat.
Pros:
- 27 colors and patterns
- Four sizes available
- Air-dry, shake, or vacuum
- Indoor and outdoor use
Cons:
- A bit pricey
- Can't be bleached
With a svelte 0.25-inch pile and beveled edges, Gorilla Grip's natural rubber doormat slips neatly under even the lowest-profile doors. Its polypropylene fabric is specially woven to absorb and trap moisture and grime, helping you to keep mud outside where it belongs. Doormats should also be able to withstand years of wear. This doormat is no exception; it's designed to be heavy-duty enough to hose down when dirty and to dry quickly, discouraging mold and mildew growth. While this particular mat's humor is more subtle, it's still a welcoming, grin-inducing phrase to see. Gorilla Grip's doormats are also offered in 26 shades and patterns and four sizes—all the way up to 72-by-24 inches.
BIRDROCK HOME "One Cat Short" coir doormat
Plenty of options
BIRDROCK HOME's snarky, sassy doormats have something for everyone.
Pros:
- Coconut coir fiber
- Anti-slip vinyl backing
- Shake, sweep, or vacuum
- Weather-resistant
Cons:
- Can't put it in direct sunlight
- Only two sizes offered
If there's not much space available for you in your hallway or on your deck, BIRDROCK HOME's collection of 14 standard-size doormats deserve a glance. As an avowed cat lady (jury's out on the crazy bit), I had to laugh at their "one cat short of crazy" doormat. Adorned with a bug-eyed black feline that's clearly plotting its owner's doom, it's a mat that might find its way into my own shopping cart. It's especially good at removing caked dirt, mud, or snow, thanks to its bristly coconut coir surface.
Muikoo front door welcome mat
Think twice before knocking
Patience is a virtue—especially when you've shown up to someone's house unannounced.
Pros:
- Non-slip rubber backing
- Machine-washable felt
- Indoor or outdoor use
- Shake mat to dislodge dirt
Cons:
- No fibers or bristles to remove dirt
Few things feel more stressful than people showing up to your home unannounced. Muikoo's funny doormat succinctly tells that person on your porch that you'll be there when you get there. It's actually machine washable, which makes sense when you consider how low-profile the mat really is. The lettering on this doormat will last, thanks to a heat dye sublimation printing technique. This mat isn't textured enough to clean muddy footwear, so it's probably best used for its amusing message only.
Avera Products "Beet It" natural coir-fiber doormat
Punny mats are extra funny
High-traffic areas will benefit from this doormat by Avera Products; its rough coir surface catches dirt and moisture.
Pros:
- Anti-slip PVC backing
- Standard size
- Ten patterns and messages
- 100-percent recycled fiber
Cons:
- For use in covered areas only
- Fades in direct sun
Sustainable, recycled, biodegradable—these are words that should describe all our belongings. Avera Products' recycled coconut coir doormat meets that criteria, and then some. Its coir surface is very effective at scrubbing and catching mud, dust, and snow. An anti-slip PVC backing keeps guests and inhabitants safer on wet days. If vegetables aren't funny to you, Avera Products offers mats with nine other patterns and phrases.
Rag Tag Mats "Did You Call First?" embossed coir doormat
Believe it or not, I'm not home
Fade-proof embossed graphics and durable coir fiber make Rag Tag Mats' doormat the perfect way to fend off pesky in-laws or canvassers.
Pros:
- Gets the message across
- Long-lasting decoration
- Sturdy and thick
- Vacuum-friendly
Cons:
- Higher price point
- Not low-profile
For the unannounced visitors that are too impatient to wait till you've got pants on, consider Rag Tag Mats' delightfully direct doormat. It asks interlopers if they even pondered being polite enough to warn you of their visit. Hopefully, they'll think twice in the future. Much like the other coir mats on this list, it's heavy-duty, non-slip, and works best outdoors. Unlike those other mats, this one has embossed graphics that last through years of use, rather than screen-printed or painted decoration. One caveat to consider before purchase is whether or not the mat is low-profile enough for your door; it's just over half an inch thick.
Bottom line
Why you can trust Real Homes
Ultimately, the best funny doormat for you is dependent on your sense of humor. There's something for everyone: snarky, cutesy, punny, you name it. Our best overall funny doormat from Gorilla Grip is more adorable than hilarious, but hear us out. Not only is it low-profile to fit under any door, but it's also as long-lasting as all Gorilla Grip products and will endure years of paw-wiping in all climates.
Our other favorite is Avera Products' downright punny "Beet It" doormat. It would make a great gift for gardeners or chefs, and its bristly, recycled coconut coir surface scrubs shoe soles thoroughly.
