Those never fail to crack me up.
Was the same for me. My wife thought I was getting sick and told me to get tea, but really I laughed to the point of choking.

Oh god I'm dying.
I'm the opposite, knowing that ninety percent of them are faked takes some of the punch out of them.
no...BECAUSE IM NOT A SHEEP! UNLIKE EWE!

I used to be sure that most of those had to be made up, then my phone started suggesting "kinky" was the right word to follow up "that is". Every, damn, time.
Let's be honest, Fig. At least 70% of the time, it was kinky, wasn't it?

I like comedy that comes from a more natural place. A comedian who falls back on moldy, contrived material or a really forced persona (ex: Daniel Tosh) doesn't make me laugh, personally.
These kinds of texts could still happen naturally, though. My brother messes with my autocorrect all the time, changing out normal words for weird ones.

Depends on who I'm texting.
My autocorrect often changes "How's things?" to "How's thongs?"
Now, admittedly, I might be curious about how thongs are, but I don't think of it as a conversation starter, you know?

Once I was texting (using vlingo to do voice recognition) one of my underlings to fix something she messed up, and what I said was "Take a look at Cricket when you get back" (she'd botched something for Cricket Wireless), but what my phone apparently heard was "Take a swig of Benadryl when you get back." Uhhhh no, I'm NOT TRYING TO DOPE YOU UP ON COUGH SYRUP
The answer most times would probably be "A pain in the ass."
I use the Audio Text feature a lot on my phone, which has lead to some weird "translations". For example, it refuses to acknowledge the phrase "I may" and changes it to "I'm a" every single time. This is the same feature that spelled things like "Dhani Harrison" and "TARDIS" correctly, including capitalization, on the first try. My phone has strange priorities.
And while I agree that some of those are clearly fake, the fact that similar problems can and do happen naturally still make me laugh at them. A few weeks ago, one of my friends sent me a text asking if I had heard that Phillips Seymour Hoffman died. I swore I wrote "Yep", but my phone autocorrected it to "YOLO". She accused me of having a very morbid sense of humor before I realized what had happened.

Hasn't been a problem for me in that particular case, but that may be because a Texan drawl pronounces those two sentences completely different.
"I'm uh hard worker."
"Ah may go tuh the stowr"
If that were presented as stand up or a movie, it would be terrible. I guess I just don't find them funny. The funny was when you imagined them actually happening.
Yes. Autocorrect automatically ignores anything in ALL CAPS since it assumes it must be an acronym.
So they're probably faked, but no less funny.

My favorite part: "Quiet (OP), this doesn't concern you. We're working on a project."
I don't get it
That's the quest marker from Skyrim.
