FAQs

Guber is the first SMS text-based Smile Message Service. We deliver original jokes to your text-receiving device around the start of your day. If you start earlier than us, imagine we’re the “all-day breakfast” of joke delivery services. Try the eggs.

Guber is our humble attempt to bring more smiles to the world, one person at a time. If you enjoy it enough to share it far and wide, you can think of yourself as a Smile Ambassador. That sounds way fancier than it is, so don’t expect any state dinners quite yet.

Social media is often loud and angry. Email inboxes are cluttered with spam. Messaging apps are numerous with chat chains dominated by strange (and occasionally creepy) uncles you hardly know. Text remains a simple, personal, and elegant delivery mechanism. You’re welcome. BTW, we don’t sell your data. Messaging rates may apply. Stop at any time. Terms + Conditions.

NOT A.I. It’s sad we have to clarify that, but hey, that’s progress. We’re a small, organic team of marketers, creatives, technologists and ethicists. But we’re mostly just a group of humans who love to smile. We’ve been sharing jokes via texts among ourselves for years, and thought, hey, why not open this up to others?

Yes, but when you say, “really original,” we hope you mean “regular original” as that’s far more achievable. However, if a joke is ever similar to another thought out there, that’s just a coincidence and happens all the time. Anecdotally, we’ve written and published a joke in the morning that’s then appeared in the opening monologue of a late-night talk show, on a comedy podcast, or later published elsewhere as a meme. Did they steal it? Of course not. Sometimes, topical events trigger the same comedic thoughts – that’s just the joke-writing life, baby.

Follow the simple instructions on the Gift + Get page.

You can’t. You are stuck in an endless cycle of joke-receiving hell. Alternatively, just text “Stop” to the number from which you are receiving Guber’s jokes. To be honest, we can’t believe we’ve made opting out so simple. Apparently, we had to due to laws and other legal sh*t.

No. We’re not set up for auto-renew yet, but we’ll let you know when we are.

While you can stop receiving messages at any time, we do not offer refunds. Your subscription will automatically be canceled when your 12-month subscription has expired.

Because it sounds like “goober”. According to Dictionary.com, a goober is either “a peanut” or “a foolish person”. We don’t know anything about peanut production, but we are foolish people, so it was, literally, a no-brainer.
