Funny questions to ask are perfect for starting a conversation but we get it…

Starting a conversation can be tough. Sometimes you can’t think of any questions to ask and every time you try to keep things moving, the conversation fizzles and you’re left awkwardly looking at your surroundings.

Maybe you’re dealing with some anxiety or maybe you simply can’t seem to find a way to connect with the person you’re talking to.

Good news. Humor is your friend!

Everyone loves to laugh and doing so has a number of benefits, including making us feel more comfortable when we’re nervous. And even if you’re not known as “the funny guy”, if you keep a few of these funny questions to ask up in that noggin of yours (or even whip this article out when you’re with company), you’ll always have something hilarious to say.

You’re not going to start a conversation without conversation starters and using funny conversation starters is a perfect way to get the ball rolling.

They open up the conversation to new topics and will make your conversational partner more comfortable knowing that he/she doesn’t have to think up new things to talk about (especially if he/she has social anxiety). Plus, everyone loves a guy who can make them laugh!

via: Unsplash / You X Ventures

After asking or answering tons of interview questions, everyone is looking for a laugh. Common ground. Sense of humor says everything about how much a person is holding back, how much they feel pressured to conform, how much they could be hiding.

Some funny interview questions could also help a shy, nervous candidate get their footing too.

Here are 7 funny interview questions:

116. How would you solve problems if you were from Mars?

You’re asking the candidate to quickly come up with a world that’s drastically in contrast to the human world, and playoff both of them. This sounds like a silly, vapid question, but it’s actually drawing out a person’s awareness of cultures beyond their own. Ask it!

107. “What do you think of garden gnomes?”

This one is out of left field, and you’re testing your candidate’s courage to respond from a place far outside the box.

108. “You’ve been given an elephant. You can’t give it away or sell it. What would you do with the elephant?”

A healthy love and passion for animals is always a boon.

109. “What’s the color of money?”

112. How lucky are you and why?

This is a pure test of gratitude recognition. Does the candidate recognize what is good and blessed in their lives? This is an optimum gauge for positivity.

113. What would your perfect murder weapon be and why?

How does the candidate interpret the needs for speed, stealth, and absolution in this situation, and in all other less-deadly, more daily situations?
