Funny Conversation Topics

"Above all else, go out with a sense of humor. It is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person deep down has a pretty good grasp of life." ~ Hugh Sidey

Life could have been much easier and carefree if we could just take all the tragic events, every ups and downs of life in stride. Alas, that's just a pipe dream. Nevertheless, we could try instilling some jest in our life to make it worth remembering. Well, enough of preaching. We all want to give Jay Leno a run for his money, but amateurish attempts can make us fall flat on our face. Wait, I am not a Guru who can bestow you with a sense of humor. I am just citing some topics which can make your conversation both light and entertaining.

These questions are enough to stupefy anyone, so weave them into your conversation, so that it would give the people around you fodder for thoughts. There are some tips to remember while quipping these playful remarks. Try to be yourself, faking humor or anything else for that matter won't get you anywhere. You can also include some funny embarrassing situations of yours in your conversation. People often warm up to others when they see that others are also as human as they are. In other words, empathy works. Try to portray only the funny side of your story as you don't want to be that guy who recites his sob stories to strangers. Make use of your surroundings while starting a conversation. Cribbing about the changing weather is so redundant, but it could work as a good conversation starter if done with a dash of humor.

All those girls who want to use a pickup line on a good-looking hunk, it's better if you stick to something humorous instead of being cheesy.

Sometimes, you might have to embarrass yourself to make someone smile, but make sure that it's worthwhile. Being a master in funny conversation topics is easier said than done, it requires a great deal of practice. But then, in the words of a wise guy, "If practice makes man perfect and there is no such thing as a perfect man, then why practice?"
