Funny questions for anyone you want to make laugh
Questions built to get a laugh or start an argument about nothing: silly, weird, dumb and random ones for friends, siblings, parents, partners, kids and chatbots. Others keep things light with a CEO, a pastor, a photographer or a new mom. Every question has a note on why it works.
A few to start with
What's the last thing you said out loud to yourself?
Nearly everyone talks to themselves and few admit what they say. Expect a pep talk in a parking lot or an insult aimed at a printer, and expect him to ask for yours straight after.
What food do you defend that nobody else in this family will touch?
Family food arguments are loud, harmless, and long-running, so this reliably gets everyone involved. He will have a specific preparation in mind and a grievance about it.
Which of my childhood phases was the most ridiculous?
Siblings remember the phase you would rather not: the accent, the band, the year you wore one hat. It also tends to come with a date, because they can name the school year it happened in.
What is the most useless superpower you can think of?
The winners are tiny and specific: knowing how many stairs are in any building, or making any drink exactly one degree colder. Then have each person find the one situation where theirs would save the day.
If you could be any animal, which one would you be, and what would you do first?
The second half is what unlocks the answer, since naming an animal is easy and acting it out is the fun part. Expect them to demonstrate rather than describe, which counts.
Which app would be the hardest for you to delete?
Maps and music are the practical answers, and the honest answer is usually the one people open without deciding to. Offer a follow-up: which app could they delete right now and not miss?
