Funny Conversation Starters

While you'd think that funny conversations are light, easy and carefree affairs, believe it or not they take considerable effort and practice to begin and maintain. The common adage that comedy is the toughest thing to do is no lie, and even with something as seemingly simple as a conversation with another person or a small group, it can be among the most difficult things you do all day to kick off a funny, engaging conversation. But with a little preparation and practice it won't be a problem to get friends, guys, and girls laughing. Here are seven funny conversation starters to help you get started.

HUMOROUS OBSERVATIONS
Finding something in your surroundings that makes you chuckle or amused and pointing it out in conversation can be a funny way to kick things off, or to keep a conversation going when it seems that it might stall out prematurely.

BAD AND CHEESY JOKES
Everyone, believe it or not, loves a bad joke when it's told intentionally to be a bad joke. Cheesy pick-up lines can work like, "You must be tired because you've been running through my mind all day." They are so awful sometimes that it is incredibly funny, and often gets everyone in the group to begin sharing the bad and cheesy jokes they know. For example, "What do you call a video of pedestrians? Footage". Please, stop laughing.

IRONIC STATEMENTS
A quirky and ironic statement - either directly related to something or someone in the conversation, or related to something else entirely - can be a great way to get the mental and social juices flowing and give a decidedly intellectual and humorous path to a given conversation. Find something like "why are self-help programs always conducted in groups?" or comments along those lines.

FUNNY ANECDOTES
Everyone always loves a funny story with a personal touch. Stories are a great tool for effective communication. It not only helps get a conversation rolling along toward the funny side, personal anecdotes help endear you to your conversation partners as such stories help everyone to get to know you better.

Top Five Funny Boss Stories

1.
We were at a company picnic and we managed to get our boss drunk. He goes to take a piss on a tree but was drunk so he was fumbling for his penis. Our coworker proceeded to put a hot dog in his hand and he peed in his pants. The hilarious part was when he was done and his "penis" fell on the floor.

2.
Boss: "What the hell did you do to my computer? I'm entering my password, but all it's giving me is seven asterisks!"

Me: "Oh, don't worry. I changed your password to seven asterisks."

Boss: "Oh! Okay, thanks." (keeps trying...)

3.
My boss mailed a generic birthday card to me. It said "Happy Birthday, Greg!" with the word "Greg" crossed out and my name penned in above it. Greg was fired last month.

4.
So our staff had to put an ad together and I emailed [boss] and said he might want to take off the 'fuh shoooo' since it doesn't look very professional. He replies: 'FYI, 'fuh shoooo' is slang for 'for sure. I am a black girl from long beach and a 55 year old white man is teaching me slang.

5.
I leave new boss my home number on voicemail out due to illness. He calls me on a Sunday morning after finding said number in his pants pockets. Thought he got the number at a bar previous night. When he realized his error, he couldn't look me in the eyes again. Treated me like shit after that.
