However we try to avoid it, judging a person on the first impression is just human nature. And you usually want that first impression to be nice and show off how cool you are, because otherwise you can lose the opportunity to get along with someone right from the start.

It’s especially nerve-wracking when you’re talking about a person you might like and want to know more. So you have to think very carefully about what you want your first words to be because there is no turning back.

Most people would advise you to not resort to pickup lines as they are often cheesy and cringey. But they are also often based on a play on words, so in a way, they are kind of funny. And in this list, we gathered the most hilarious ones people on Reddit shared when someone asked “What’s your best worst pickup line that would never get you laid but is hilarious?”

Also, this is not the first time Bored Panda has explored various pickup lines and we have a couple of more articles that you might want to check out. If you click here, you will be directed to a list of the cringiest pickup lines we managed to find, and right here, you can look through some conversations from Tinder that people couldn’t resist screenshotting and sharing because the pickup lines cause secondhand embarrassment.

People In This Online Community Shared 30 Cringy Pickup Lines That Actually Are Quite Funny This one technically did get me laid. I met a girl at a dance at 15 years old. I asked her to dance during a slow song, and during our small talk, I asked, “so… what color is your toothbrush?” Just the dumbest most ridiculous question I could think of.

Fast forward 8 years at our wedding, and my new wife asks during our first dance, “so what color is your toothbrush?” I’ve never been so in love..

My response was, "No, but I'll change my name if you want." She gave out a gut laugh and walked off. Months later she saw me again and started laughing the instant she saw me. I made an impression, just not the one I wanted I guess.

😂 But tbh it's a bit self degradating which is not very attractive when that's first thing you say to anyone. But as a friend, I'd laugh my ass off.

"I can tell the difference" would make me smile and get some conversation started. "I can TELL YOU the difference" would so get me to roll my eyes and get as far away, as fast as possible, 'cause strangely enough, I find neither patronizing, nor pedantic attractive!

Nope. All my sisters are the same level of intelligence and beauty, just in different ways: one is elegant and elf-like, one is cute and childish, and I am vampiric and elegant (hopefully). The other 3 sisters aren't old enough to be considered attractive by anyone.
