21 Funny Fourth Of July Quotes

The Fourth of July is a day set aside for us to reflect upon America's birth and history. But let's not take ourselves too seriously! America loves to laugh, and these funny Fourth of July quotes will remind you that our nation is many things, including pretty freaking hilarious.

See, way back in the day when our Founding Fathers were brainstorming all the ways to make our nation, they came up with this little thing called "freedom of speech" (nice one, guys!). It's basically where you, as an American, have the right to say whatever is on your mind without fear of censorship... and as such, people have had some amazing and spectacular things to say. From Groucho Marx and George Carlin to Louis C.K. and Stephen Colbert, Americans tend to have a great sense of humor when it comes to talking about, well, America. Heck, even Ronald Reagan was able to crack a few smiles.

So this year, make sure you are using the Fourth of July weekend to have a good time, because America thrives on fun, and these quotes about America are as fun as they get.
