Funny Cornhole Board Ideas and Clever Uses for the Hole

Cornhole is a game best played with family and friends, some alcohol in hand, good food, and a great sense of humor. I mean, come on. The game’s name is cornhole; that’s already funny! For some extra fun, we put together this list of funny cornhole board ideas that your adult friends are sure to appreciate.

You can choose from one of our existing themed cornhole boards that are already good to go, or you can design your own custom cornhole board based on the ideas swimming around in your head. Just don’t forget to design matching cornhole bags!

We do want to add a quick disclaimer for those of you who have little ones that might be looking over your shoulder. This post does have some mild language and a few dirty jokes.

1. A Little Profanity

We tend to keep our blog articles clean and family-friendly, but sometimes, a little bit of profanity is exactly what you need to appreciate a fun game of cornhole and some drinks with friends. We’re interested in any custom cornhole board ideas you can think up! Just make sure that there aren’t a ton of kids around if you go the profane route.

2. Trash Talk

The best games of cornhole involve some good-natured trash talk, so why not put it on full blast with your cornhole board? Keep it simple or get creative, put a different taunt on each board, or split one taunt across both boards. You can make it as general or specific as you want. The world is your oyster.

The only thing holding you back is your imagination—and the comfort level of the people you’ll be playing with. However, if your trash talk is effective enough to make the other team forfeit from the start, that’s another kind of victory (and savagery if we do say so…)!

3. Dirty Jokes

Occasionally, some helpful strangers will contact us, wondering why we insist on calling this game “cornhole” (yes, we know some of the other definitions of cornhole…). The answer to their question is tradition. We proudly use the original name of our favorite game in the world.

This isn’t “bean bag toss,” or “bag throw,” or some other off-brand sound-alike; this is cornhole! Of course, we know what else the word means, and honestly, we think it’s hilarious. There’s no end to the dirty puns that can be made by simply riffing on the name of the game. Sometimes the obvious jokes are the best ones, and if they’re dirty, that’s even better!

4. Beer Love

Cornhole and beer go together like… well, like cornhole and beer! It’s a match made in tailgating heaven, and both cornhole and beer can improve what is otherwise a less-than-stellar gathering. With that in mind, why not put your favorite beer on your custom cornhole board?

Whether it’s a brand logo from your favorite brew or a more general take on the beverage, we can customize a design to your exact specifications. Or, you can just make a beer joke; again, the world is your oyster when it comes to cornhole boards!

Clever Uses for Your Cornhole Board’s Hole

The hole is obviously the most important feature of any cornhole board. Otherwise, you’d just be playing a game of “corn,” and we have no idea how to play that game! Let’s put the hole in your board to good use with these clever design ideas that show off the full potential of your cornhole board’s hole.

Guitar

Music and cornhole lovers alike will adore this inspired take on the classic cornhole board. Position an image of a guitar so that the sound hole (see? It’s a match made in heaven!) sits near the top of the board.

Blackhole

Easy, right? While you could just paint the whole board black, we know you’re much more clever than that. This galaxy-themed board could feature a black hole with a gravitational pull so strong that no cornhole bag can escape it. You can surround it with bright, swirling cosmos designs and up the cool factor by attaching cornhole lights for an interstellar experience.

Imagine playing cornhole on the moon! That would certainly be something… 

Toilet

Continuing with the juvenile humor, flush away the competition by using a toilet bowl to impress every potty-mouthed friend you have. Gross? Maybe. Childish? Probably. Hilarious? Unquestionably.

Flower

Forget a bouquet of flowers. Get the missus a flower that’ll last forever with this custom cornhole design that uses the bud of her favorite flower as the hole. Coupled with an expertly constructed board, a design like this is more than just a game—it’s a blooming work of art. A flower-themed board is perfect for a birthday gift or to commemorate a wedding.

Donut

We’ll take a half dozen, please… with sprinkles.

State flag

Any state flag that features a star or a circle would translate rather patriotically onto a custom cornhole board. Texas, Ohio, Colorado, New Mexico—let your state pride fly, y’all!
