Funny. Random. Questions. The three put together promise fun. Isn’t fun a part of any lighthearted conversation with friends? Funny questions make great conversation starters. They can actually lead to hilarious conversations. They need no theme – they are random. And they can create some serious humor. For some funny questions for friends, read on.
Once a friend asked me, “Why does the sun make our hair light and our skin dark?” I thought for a moment and answered, “It’s because our skin is light and our hair is dark!” I don’t know whether he found my answer funny, but I was happy about having given a witty answer to his rather funny question! And that made me think of other funny questions to share a few laughs with friends. Here they are.

Funny questions like these add humor to your conversation with friends. You can use them as starters. And why only conversation starters? Fun questions, their answers and more questions they lead to, can actually make for the entire conversation. It’s fun to be funny and random sometimes. And with friends, anytime! But when getting to know someone, or when trying to know each other before starting a relationship, questions like these won’t do any good. They can embarrass the person you put them to and cast a bad impression of yours on him. These questions can be used with close friends or people you know. They are best-suited for informal conversations and not for official meetings or formal gatherings.
Use these questions or come up with your own to make fun questionnaires for your friends and see them come up with witty and funny answers. Just remember one thing – draw a line between healthy and gross humor. Humor shouldn’t hurt.
