Redditor AndyWSea had a profound shower thought that touched off a thread of classic Reddit wordplay:
Funny WiFi addresses [sic] are the new funny answering machine messages.
You all remember when answering machines came out, right? Or at least you’ve seen this episode of Seinfeld?
In an era when no one uses the phone anymore (except telemarketers and Robo callers), the wireless network SSID is where you can share your punnery with random neighbors and passers-by. The Reddit thread led to some absolute gems which I’m pretty sure you can steal for your own amusement. Here are some of my favorites:
- Boulevard of Broken Streams
- Believe it or not, George’s wifi isn’t online
- Tell My WiFi Love Her
- Darude – LANStorm
- C===[::::::::::::::::>
- Dialup Internet
- No More Mister WiFi
- Pretty Fly for a WiFi
- Searching…
- WhoFi WhatFi WhenFi WhereFi WiFi
- AEIOU and sometimes WiFi
- A LAN down under
- MyNeighborsHaveTheBestNeighbor
- FBI Surveillance Van
- Get off my LAN
- The LAN Before Time
- WinternetisComing
- The PromisedLAN
- Flowers By Irene
- Virus Filled Network
- Dora the Internet Explorer
- Rebellious Amish Family
- HP Printer
- Silence of the LANs
- Martin Router King, JR
- The Force
- IsThisTheKrustyKrab
- Wi Believe I Can Fi
- Drop It Like It’s HotSpot
- Skynet
- Stranger Pings
- WiFi Art Thou Romeo?
- NSA_Guest
- NachoWireless
- Obi-WAN-Kenobi
Bonus: If you have a multiband router, you can have multiple SSIDs! Here are some good one-two punch jokes:
- MostlyHarmless and Don’tPanic
- LANdo Calrissian and LAN Solo
- WayneManor and TheBatCave
- This LAN is My LAN and This LAN is Your Lan

That’s hilarious.

Yeah – I think that’s my favorite also.
My SSID has been ERROR for a long time. Confuses people who come over all the time. ;)
