Best Funny Questions to Ask in Singapore

1. What is the weirdest food combination that you love?

What is the weirdest but favourite food combination you love?’ It is an absurd (and hilarious) question to ask when Singapore is so blessed with good food.

The question, by encouraging people to share quirky preferences and engage in discussion, creates a curious and open atmosphere in the room.

It’s a lighthearted way to explore cultural discrepancies and personal taste – and the fodder for talk that’s nearly as delicious as the food being discussed.

After all, it’s the most deliciously funny question in the history of cuisine.

2. What’s your most embarrassing moment or embarrassing thing you have?

Asking someone what their most embarrassing thing or possession is is a funny question, especially when it is asked in a fun, casual setting.

It encourages the telling of intimate stories we all understand, making us laugh and helping us all to relax.

But please make sure that the question is asked with a light touch, in a spirit of fun and good humour – and spare a thought for how the person answering must feel.

It can be a good curiosity coaster (provided one knows how to appreciate it with sensitivity and care).

This question is meant to be a levity-inducing one that could be helpful in getting to know someone a little bit better.

3. What’s a TV show or reality TV show that people would be surprised to know you watch?

Conversely, putting the same person on the spot with the question ‘What TV show or reality TV show would surprise me to know that you watch?’ is definitely funny.

It invites people to show a side of their entertainment taste that others might never guess, leading to surprises on both sides.

It’s a question that can surprise and delight, as in when the answer reveals a completely different side to someone’s personality than the one shown in day-to-day life.

It’s a tongue-in-cheek interrogation of the layers of a person’s identity, and thus a good deal of fun.

4. What is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten?

Enquiring about the most bizarre thing that someone has ever placed into their mouth is a question that truly touches on matters of universal human interest and, indeed, one that is legitimately funny.

It elicits laughter, but also bewilderment, as players remember and recount their most unusual culinary experiments.

This is a particularly good question for Singapore, a country with such rich and interesting food culture that it can also turn up some very funny stories.

It’s also a fun way to warm up to the idea that a well-rounded individual might engage with the vast variety of personal preference and gastronomic bravado that exists.

5. If you could have any celebrity be your best friend, which celebrity would you pick?

Who would you choose to be your celebrity best friend? What a funny and entertaining question!

It draws attention to a fantasy of connection and friendship, one in which we think of our celebrity icons from a more intimate perspective.

That question in particular can be fun to answer, leading to musings about how a celebrity would be the best friend you ever had, often revealing more about the answerer than it does about the celebrity.

The dream is a good one for laughter and lively slap-on-the-back conversation, a great thing to open up an easygoing interaction, really!

6. What’s the funniest thing that ever happened on your family vacation?

The question ‘What’s the funniest thing that ever happened on your family vacation?’, is in fact a funny, interesting thing to enquire.

It encourages people to look back and laugh about snapshots from vacations they might otherwise have forgotten.

This question is often answered with stories that can create group bonding through the shared experience of laughing at something someone did or the general absurdity of a vacation gone awry or just something happening to someone.

It might be a brilliant way to leaven a conversation and cement intimacy through the recounting of high jinks.

7. Can you tell me the funniest joke ever?

A sure way to ask a funny question is to say to someone: ‘Tell me your best joke.

It’s an open invitation for creativity and humor, making it an excellent icebreaker.

But comedy is in the eye of the beholder, and the other person might not find it funny, introducing a double-blind element into the response.

This question not only brings a smile to the table, but also offers insight into the wit of the person being surveyed, which makes it a fun thing to add to almost any discussion.

8. How many chickens would it take to kill an elephant?

The answer to the question ‘How many chickens would it take to kill an elephant?’ must surely rank as the best joke with the most ridiculous question ever asked.

Its sheer surprise value and the picture it evokes can make it useful for lightening the mood. It certainly made me chortle and laugh out loud.

This question encourages participants to display their wittiness and creativity.

It’s a handy way to add a touch of absurdity and imagination to the proceedings, and on the plus side, it’s a great way to ensure your conversation never becomes boring.

9. What would be your dream job?

The question ‘If you could have any job, what would it be?’ is not an obviously funny question, at least at first glance – people don’t react with a great guffaw when asked the question.

But used in the right context – and if the person posing the question has a puckish sense of humour about the response – it can be a starting point for amusing and frivolous debates.

For example, wide-ranging or fantastical responses can lend a light-hearted tone to what is normally something of a serious question.

In the end, if not a side-splittingly funny question, it could be used to provoke unexpected answers and would therefore make for a quietly amusing query in the right company.

10. What’s the most ridiculous thing your parents ever did to embarrass you?

Asking ‘What’s the most humiliating thing your parents ever did to embarrass you?’ is a funny question because it’s universal and because it practically guarantees that any answer you get is going to make you laugh.

It can be embarrassing to relive even an insignificant incident, but in the right situation, sharing and laughing together about our missteps – our small humiliations – can create a bond through our mutual exposure and shared laughter.

Thus: this question is a good way to elicit and share personal tales of laughter and levity.

Funny Questions to Ask Singapore
