Tips for writing your own funny this or that questions

  • Make both sides bad in a different way. "Sweat ranch or Sweat hot sauce" works because one is gross and the other hurts.
  • Use real, specific details: a goose, a 2014 photo, a soggy sandwich. Vague options get shrugs.
  • Keep unhinged questions harmless. Absurd is funny; cruel, gross-out or sexual content splits the room.
  • Read the room before using the adult pairs. Coworkers laugh at reply-all jokes, not at dating jokes about a teammate.
  • Mix in a cute pair after every few hard ones to reset the mood.
  • Write creative this or that questions by changing one detail of a classic pair. "Pizza or Burgers" becomes "Pizza with no cheese or Burger with no bun".

Frequently asked questions

What makes a this or that question funny?

Funny this or that questions are two-option choices where both answers are absurd, awkward or gross. One example: "Sneeze glitter or Cry maple syrup?" The laugh comes from having to pick one and defend it. Ask them at parties, in group chats, on road trips or as a funny question of the day. Most players answer in under five seconds.

Good this or that questions funny enough for a group make both options equally ridiculous. Examples: Fight a goose or Wrestle a raccoon, Sneeze glitter or Cry maple syrup, and Eat cereal with a fork or Eat soup with chopsticks. Pick pairs people can picture right away.

Use the adult section on this page. Funny this or that questions adults laugh at draw on reply-all mistakes, dating profiles, in-laws and awkward small talk. These topics feel familiar to grown-ups and stay clean enough for an office party or family dinner.

Yes. Every pair on this page is clean and work-appropriate. If you need this or that questions for adults funny enough for an office party, the adult section draws on awkward moments, not sex, drinking or insults. Save flirty pairs for a couples night.

Try Your search history read aloud or Your texts on a billboard. Follow with Wear swim goggles to work or Wear a tuxedo to the gym. Then ask Call your boss Mom or Call your date by your ex's name. Have the group vote by pointing.

A good funny question of the day this or that style takes ten seconds to answer and invites a reply. Try Speak only in questions or Speak only in movie quotes, or Always slightly too hot or Always slightly too cold. Post one funny this or that question each morning in a team chat or on a whiteboard.

Use silly pairs with no gross or adult content, such as Fly two inches off the ground or Teleport three feet. Write it on the board, let students vote with sticky notes, and ask two students to explain their pick before the first lesson.

Specific, unexpected details make random this or that questions funny. Cats or Dogs is a fair question but gets no laugh. A cat the size of a horse or A horse the size of a cat gets a laugh because people picture it before they answer.

Unique this or that questions come from your own group. The best this or that questions funny for a game night mix the crazy animal pairs here with two or three pairs about inside jokes or shared habits. Personal pairs get the biggest laughs.

These questions push past normal preferences into impossible situations, such as Sweat ranch dressing or Sweat hot sauce. Hilarious this or that questions like these work best with teens and adults who already know each other.

Good options include Gas station sushi or Airport salad, Mayo on ice cream or Ketchup on cake, and Raisin cookie that looks like chocolate chip or Decaf you thought was regular. Ask them between courses, when people are relaxed and talking.

Unhinged this or that questions are the strangest pairs in a set, where both options make no sense. Examples: Live in a giant shoe or Live in a giant teapot, and Turn invisible only when nobody looks or Turn into a chair on command. Keep them absurd, not cruel.
