Funny yes or no questions? Dive into humour as we have mapped out several funny questions for you to ask in different situations.
Per se, you just got a new job and joined a new institution. Now, that’s all well and good, but interacting with your colleagues and getting to know them can be a bit (ok, a lot) difficult when it seems like everyone in the workspace has already formed their own groups (aka cliques) and thus give off the ‘you shalt not pass’ aura.
Naturally, you’re just here thinking, and contemplating: now what’s a girl (or boy) got to do in this kind of situation, huh? Worry not, young Padawan, the answer to that is just one simple teeny tiny word: ice-breaking, or more elaborately, a specific ice-breaking activity known as Yes or No questions.
These are sure to release some of that awkwardness and uneasy formality.
Yes or No questions – What are they anyway?
So first off, what are Yes or No questions? They are a type of questions that can be tricky, unique, inquisitive, as well as downright hilarious. They’re also a great way to interact with your fellow colleagues as they provide a very wholesome environment and have the power to ease everyone around.
Now that we’ve captured your interest, read on to learn more about how to ease into a new surrounding and find out everything you need to know about funny Yes or No questions and their underlying power.
How do they work?
As the title suggests, funny Yes or No questions are a form of an inquisitive game where questions get asked with the sole purpose of getting to know each other better. The inquisitor can ask any question they want and the person has to answer in binary; yes, or no. Seems simple and pretty straight forward, doesn’t it?
Usually played in a group or a circle of peers, friends, family, or colleagues, these questions can be asked following any other ice-breaker activity, for example, spin the bottle (although that game may give you cringe high school flashbacks).
Good thing about funny yes or no questions is ; Thankfully, these questions are not privy to a certain type of party or get-together, so you can suggest them anytime and anywhere, be it a welcome party, a birthday party, a friends’ hangout, or just a casual dinner out with your colleagues.
You just need to know when to whip out that ace under your sleeve to get the crowd interested, invested, and intrigued.
For future references, it might be better to prepare a few 20-ish or so questions beforehand, so that you don’t get put into a tight spot while trying to ease into the environment. We’re trying to release the tension here, not make it worse. So best go prepared.
You can do this by researching for these questions on platforms such as YouTube since they have a lot of videos where celebrities get asked these questions by the show hosts.
And if you’re wondering where else can you get inspiration from, wonder no more. Here are some funny Yes or No questions (compiled by yours truly) that you can ask the next time this game comes up. We’ve sorted them a bit, according to their respective genres.
Tricky questions (but not as tricky as Loki the trickster)
This genre of questions are the ones that will either leave people in a dire state of perplexity or set the mood all too well, there’s no in between. These are the ones that require you using your brain before answering. Kind of like answering a riddle, if you will. Let us give you some examples:
- Can you cry underwater?
- Would you slap your best friend for a million dollars?
- Do you always text using your elbows?
- Were you always this much of a buffoon or is today a special occasion?
- Can fish see air like we see water?
- Is the sky actually blue?
- Do centipedes actually have 100 feet?
See what we mean? Despite being amusing and funny, yet tricky, these questions will not only get the gears of your brain working but will also teach you how to create and start conversations because of the complicated nature of the questions. The questions will require everyone working together in order to answer them, never mind the fact that they’re just simple Yes or No questions.
Of course, you’ll have to be mindful of the environment before you ask the question. For example, for questions 3 and 4, it’d be best to ask them in a friend setting, or to someone you’re quite frank with, we don’t want a scene straight out of keeping up with the Kardashians, now do we? That’s right, we don’t.
