Have you ever been to a party where you don’t know many people and you feel too shy or awkward to spark up a conversation (or maybe you don’t know how)? Have you resorted to standing in a corner with your drink hoping someone will make the first move so you don’t have to? Because same.
While there are a few lucky extroverts who have the gift of gab, everyone else has experienced a touch of awkwardness at get-togethers at least once in their life. It might happen at a house party with lots of new faces or at a brunch where you’re only friends with one person. Luckily, there’s a tried and true way to escape this scenario: icebreakers.
Icebreakers are a way to, well, break the ice when meeting someone new. They help get the conversation flowing and if they’re funny it’s even better. Laughter is the best way to loosen up and banish awkward silences, and it can also help you bond with someone you just met five minutes ago. While everyone has a different sense of humor, funny icebreakers will at the very least get you talking — or make you think. They could lead to interesting conversations that last all night, and they might even open the door to other types of chats.
Have you ever thought about what your elevator pitch would be if you were visited by aliens and wanted them to take you on a trip to visit their planet? Most likely you haven’t, but you’re probably forming your answer at this moment. Now, imagine having that same chat with someone over drinks or the chip bowl at a party. Cute, right? It would be cool to hear their response, and just as fun to come up with your own.
Bustle rounded up 105 funny questions to ask the next time you’re at a party and can’t seem to get a conversation going, or when you find yourself seated next to a stranger at dinner and want to spice up your small talk.
