For laughs with kids, teens and adults

Funny Would You Rather Questions

These are the silly ones: a cat that gives honest life advice, a fridge that comments on your snacks, a sneeze that comes out as a duck quack. There is no gross-out humor, so they are safe for a table that runs from grandparents to eight-year-olds.

Funny dilemmas work when both sides are absurd in different directions. A parrot that repeats your most awkward sentences against a parrot that sings everything you say like an opera star is a real choice, because you can picture living with either and both would be a problem. The laugh comes from imagining the details, so the best answers are the ones people explain at length.

Getting the laughs out of funny questions

Read the question in a grave voice, as if it were a serious moral choice. Then ask each person not just for their pick but for their first day living with it: what the commute on a pogo stick looks like, which guest the houseplant gossips about first.

They make a good warm-up before a quiz or board game, or the end of a long dinner when people need something light. After you play, vote on the page to see whether the wider crowd chose the duck or the wolf, once 50 votes are in.

Tips for funny questions

  • Let whoever laughs first answer first; they have usually already pictured a scene they want to describe.
  • Allow follow-up questions, like whether the mime can talk; the made-up rules are often funnier than the dilemma itself.
  • Keep a handful in your back pocket for car trips, where one silly choice can fill ten miles of road.
  • With kids in the group, ask them to invent the next question in the same style and vote on it together.
