Chances are that if you’ve opened this article, you are in a position to hire someone. Good for you! Even better, you’ve opened an article dedicated to funny job interview questions, which also means that you truly care about the interviewee feeling relaxed, at ease, and comfortable while you’re conducting your interview. So, without any further ado - this is our list of the best funny job interview questions.
These funny questions aren’t just good to relieve the tension that inevitably hangs in the air whenever there’s a job interview being conducted. In fact, as you’re about to see, these job interview questions, although superficially entertaining, do ask about some pretty serious stuff and reveal interesting character traits once answered. Take, for instance, the one inquiring about the choice of being either Batman or Robin. Now, although it seems fun, by choosing Batman, someone will prove they’re more of a leading character, while by choosing Robin, they’ll disclose their aptitude for teamwork. See, although funny, these are, in fact, some of the best questions you could add to your job interview roster to truly dive beneath the surface!
Now, ready to pick your choices? If so, just scroll down below to where the submissions start. Although we’re pretty certain that all of these are good job interview questions, they are in a bit of a jumble as of now. So, once you get to them, be sure to rank them so the absolute best find their way to the top of this list.

If I gave you $10 bucks to go buy me chocolate milk, and it only cost $3, would you bring me all the change or would you tell me it was actually $10? Because I’ll know. I’ll know chocolate milk doesn’t cost that much.
I'd bring you $7.00 and a half empty carton of chocolate milk. Math makes me thirsty.
I'd explain that nothing in this world comes free, and my labour for the 10 minutes it took me to get to the store and back came to $2, so here's your $5 back.
I'm sorry, the job description I am currently interviewing for did not include running any errands or being gofer girl. If there are hidden expectations to do so, I'll let myself out now.
Unless it's in my job description to go and buy an adult chocolate milk, you can go and get it yourself.
Since you already know, i would bring you all the change. You know, you're supposed to not tell me the answer when asking trick questions.
If aliens landed in front of you and, in exchange for anything you desire, offered you any position on their planet what would you want?
I would want to clarify their question first. Do you mean what would I want as in the "anything I desire," or as in the "any position on their planet"? Good communication is so very important, wouldn't you agree? ----If that doesn't ace the question I don't know what would 🤪

Are your parents disappointed with your career aspirations?
Are yours? Are they proud their golden child is asking questions off of a list that you didn't write? Do they return your calls? How often do they "forget" your birthday? Here, have a tissue, crying in an interview is unprofessional... don't worry, I won't tell your parents that you sobbed in front of me.
Mine can't get disappointed, jokes on them, they're in the grave.
Same here. I'd make it real awkward for the interviewer real fast
Load More Replies...Maybe. They hired me in elementary school. Taught me skills for mechanic, electrician, roadie, office pogue. I could drive anything with wheels. Taught me to supervise crews, and carry my own dang tools... also the occasional drunk and stoned performers. One thing I couldn't do: public speaking. Talking into a microphone is a superpower I did not inherit. ::shiver:: They tried so hard ☠️

Woke up one Sunday morning in my mid-20s after a ROUGH night in the village and no idea what had happened so I had to call my friend Michelle to ask her why there was confetti and a dildo coming out of my purse.
My dad took a keen interest in my life. He was gone all through childhood, pewee games, birthday parties, bupkiss. Every single event he was just not there. Until my mom died, she made him promise to look after me and give me the attention I needed to feel like a validated human. That was nice for a minute, but he died shortly after. Inheritance is fine if you don't squander, without all the money advise I never received, that money went faster than a union worker clocking out.
I grew inside someone's body. I think that's about as weird as it gets!
"You mean other than not walking out of this interview after the first weirdly inappropriate, completely pointless, and totally illegal question? Bye!" Walk out

Describe the color yellow to somebody who is blind.
I once had to describe the color green, so of approach this the same way: imagine how the warmth of the sun feels on your skin, combined with the smell of a sunflower and the taste of sweet corn.
Warm sunshine of your face. The smell of a freshly zested lemon. The joy of hearing the voice of your favorite person that you haven't heard from in a long time
Stand in a warm spring day, diffused light. Pour honey oh fresh baked chiabatta bread
The warmth of the sun, the peal of children's laughter on a summer day, the silk of flower petals against the fingertips
How many ball bearings, each one inch in diameter, can fit inside a 747 aircraft?
Well, if you had enough ball bearings you could not get them all to fit into a 747. Since they are made of quality steel the structure of the airplane would bust apart way before you could complete the loading process. Therefore your count would never be accurate !
Approximate cylinder A = pi x W x L appr 20' wide x 200' L x 3.14 = @12K cf. For 1" bearing 1cf = 12x12x12 bearings or @1700 so @ 20 MM ball bearings. And yes, i know my estimations are off(after checking actual cf the true answer is 54,060,480. Just illustrating how to guestimate 🤓

Who would win a battle between a ninja and a pirate?
Insufficient information. Is the Ninja Bruce Lee? Is the Pirate Cap'n Jack Sparrow?
And what kind of battle? Rum drinking? Dance battle? The ‘Silent’ game siblings are challenged to during long car trips?
Load More Replies...It depends on the ninja and the pirate and where the fight takes place. Generic ninja vs generic pirate then the ninja wins. Pretty much any pirate fighting Naruto in his universe, Naruto wins. Pretty much any ninja fighting Luffy in One piece universe, Luffy wins. Point Naruto and Luffy at each other in a neutral universe and they will just end up somewhere eating some poor ramen place out of all their noodles. This would also happen after they fought in their ' verses. Oh! If they ended up in Pucca's universe, she would accidentally run over them and take them to the restaurant for food and they would both start bawling at how good the food is.
The Ninja wins hands down, it does not matter where the fight takes place. Ninjas are experts in stealth as well as martial arts with and without weaponry. Pirates learn how to sword fight, some may even have some martial arts experience but not at the level ninjas are on.
A ninja is a highly trained assassin, a pirate is a violent rando with no training at all who on top lives in very unhealthy circumstances while the ninja has most likely access to well balanced food and constantly training. So this is a no brainer.
Sure is, because most pirates would have a gun. :)
Load More Replies...It specifically says "a" ninja meaning one. According to the inverse ninja law, this would mean the ninja would win. Inverse ninja law states the success chance of a group of ninjas is equal to 1/n where n is the number of ninjas involved. Since n = 1, 1/1 = 1, which means the ninja wins
Depends on who's writing the script for that movie and who's playing which character.
How do you weigh an elephant without using a scale?
Walk it across smaller and smaller bridges until the bridge breaks and then see what the weight limit on the bridge was. (Reverse Calvin & Hobbs)
Male, or female elephant? If it's a female, then its none of your damn business how much it weighs.
Find a location in mud where he stepped only on one leg with all other legs and the trunk detached from anything else. It will give you a rough estimate of its total weight. You, use your own shoes step next to it compare
Measurements of width height circumference then multiply it by volume or some s**t I don't know
You have five bottles of pills. One bottle has 9 gram pills; the others have 10 gram pills. You have a scale that can be used only once. How can you find out which bottle contains the 9 gram pills?
Just toss them at the interviewer's head and which ever one hurts the most weighs the most. And then leave because I'm pretty sure you're not getting the job.
Load More Replies...Assuming no labels, number the bottles, 1-5. Take 1 pill from bottle 1. 2 pills from bottle 2. and so on. If all pills were 10 g, the weight would be 150 g. The difference in weight between 150 and the measured weight will let you know which bottle has the 9 g pills in. So, assuming you read 146 g on the scale, thats 150-146, so bottle 4 has the 9 g pills.
If it's not on the label I sit all of theoretical bottles on the scale at one time , and by removing one at a time, I will soon easily figure out which one it was.
But that would be using the scale multiple times because it's multiple measurments
Load More Replies...Put them all on the scale and take them off one by one till you get the odd amount bottle.
Assuming the bottles are identical…place, if possible one on top of the other, until you get a value ending in 9. Then the top bottle has the 9grm pills.
We finish the interview and you step outside the office and find a lottery ticket that ends up winning $10 million. What would you do?
I'd deposit it into a savings account, never tell anyone, and continue to work until I find the most reasonable way to use the money in a sufficient manner. Then probably drop down to part time until I can guarantee that I can live off of it.
If there is no identifying information on the ticket to find the original winner I would try to redeem it and use the money to buy a house,pay off my debts and buy stocks in an index fund before returning to work like nothing happened.
Ask why someone dumb enough to lose a $10 million lottery ticket was working here.
Create an LLC and collect the winnings in LLC's name. Also, tell no one.
Check to see if it has been signed. Cannot cash it in if it has been signed by someone else. Check to see if there are cameras, they may show who lost it.
Tell me how you would determine how many house painters there are in the UK?
I would ask the interviewer how many applicants have walked out when asked this question.
I would call the trade supervisory board and ask them how many were registered, then I'd look up the estimate for illicit employment for that line of work at the bureau of statistics, and then I'd tell them the estimated number with the clear understanding that there's no possible way to get an exact number unless they're more specific.
How would you measure 9 minutes using only a 4 minute and 7 minute hourglass?
I think I got it, I'll call the hourglasses 4h and 7h for convenience. So, you turn both at the same time. When 4h is finished you've got 3 min left in 7h. Turn 4h. When 7h finishes you have 1min left in 4h. Start counting. When the 1min finishes turn 4h again, and then 4h once again and you've got 9 minutes. Or use a stopwatch.
I gotchu, boss. First we gotta search for one minute. Start both at the same time. When 4 ran out, immediately flip to restart it, 7 is still going. When 7 ran out, stop 4 by putting it sideways or something, it should stop at exactly one minute. Now you can just get rid of 7, and use the one minute in the 4 hourglass. Immediately flip to get 4 minutes two more times, we got 9. Am i hired?
It would only be approximate, start both. When the 4 minute is half way done, put it on its side to pause it. When the seven minute finishes, then continue the 4 minute for its two remaining minutes. If you have lots of time to set up then you can use the 4 minute to know eventually when precisely 2 minutes have passed on the 7 minute one and start your 9 minutes at that moment getting 5 from the 7 minutes and 4 from the 4.
Right‽ I don't even have one! I look forward to this future utopia where I own 2 hourglasses.

What is the best compliment you have ever been told?
"Grandpa, your an interesting man" by my 10 year old granddaughter !
From the mother of a friend, had not met her before: "you can come back any time. You're the kind of girl I don't need to clean the kitchen for before you come over." I don't know why, but I kinda felt accepted into the family then.
Recently was told that, they meant it as insult. I couldn't have been more proud :)
Load More Replies...I commented on this persons post and they said, "Ty for commenting on my post i love ur account" It made me feel so good :)
None. You aren't 'told' compliments, you either give them or recieve them.
The best compliment i've ever received was my sister that told me she was so jealous of how i could totally tell someone how i honestly felt about them with a smile. Had many people over the years think i was joking around when i'd tell them exactly what I thought about them. Never understood why some wouldn't believe me no matter how many times i'd say something. I've always been the type of person who would say something to your face always before saying it again behind your back.
I was 27 years old and had just moved back home to upstate NY from California. My sister had a backyard bbq for her wedding reception and guests were arriving. A family friend who I babysat for as a teenager came up to my mom and me to say hello. She hadn't seen me for years and was like "Look at you! You're all grown up!" My mom smiled, touched my hair and said "Isn't she cute!" I was flabbergasted! I couldn't remember my mom ever complimenting me like that before, and it felt so nice!

Which super power do you like to have and why?
Teleportation. You could get a lot more things done if you could cut transportation time between places out of the equation.

Invisibility. I am an introvert, the idea of going places unseen is highly appealing. I also could avoid renting a place, I could sleep in department stores with beds, eat food from places that were going to toss leftovers, live free basically. Help others as well.

What are five uncommon uses of a brick, not including building, layering, or a paperweight?
A knife, a clock, a vitamin, a gerbil, and a laxative. (No one said good uses…)
A handbrake when mine has broken, a car jack, a keyless entry system for my car, a tiny firepit in the garden and in a sack thrown into the canal to get rid of evidence.
Bashing you in the head, smashing that window, throwing the curtains up so I can climb up to the roof, taking out the police chopper that will inevitably follow me, and finally barricading the door of wherever I decided to hole up.
I can think of at least two sports situations where bricks are used as alternates for some sport equipments (soccer goal posts and cricket stamps) and one in which the brick itself is a children's sport equipment (they try to hit a stack of broken pieces of pottery placed on a brick by throwing a tennis ball)... Also, if a narrow road is slightly flooded by water about half an inch high, bricks are placed on the road so that people can step on them instead of wetting their feet, shoes, and socks... Also, when bricks come in a standard size or weight, one can use them for some rough measurements...
They can be painted to look like old books. They are great conductors of heat, wonderful for homemade small cookstoves. They are a cool way to make a rustic path if they are used/old. You can make seating, tables, etc. with them that can be reconfigured whenever you want. They can also be great for lining a wee pond.

Given the numbers 1 to 1,000, what is the minimum number of guesses needed to find a specific number, if you are given the hint ‘higher’ or ‘lower’ for each guess you make?
Technically speaking, the minimum is 1 guess (if you're very very lucky)
Give me a bucket of honey, a badger and a nail file and 5 minutes alone in the room with the person who chose the number. And 1
Surely the minimum number is 1, but 2 ^ 10 = 1024, therefore the minimum number of guesses is 10.
If the question is worded like that it's one, assuming you are lucky and quess right the first time. They need to specify that the person guessing doesn't get it right by luck. My teacher in probability and statistics worded ot this way and I challenged his decision. The reviewing teacher agreed that with that wording the answer one is right. I really loved being in adult education and not forced to put up with any BS
Load More Replies...9 is maximum, 1 would be minimum. They be playing with our minds.
Minimum number of guesses, 1. If I guess eight I don't need to guess more. The most efficient way to get it with the fewest possible is to split it as Nathaniel suggested. I believe 11 guesses would get it.
Using a scale of 1 to 10, rate yourself on how weird you are.

Find their "price". Everyone supposedly has one. If someone does not want to do something, find out why, and if it is morally fine, find a way to give them something worth trading their no for a yes.
Blackmail, extortion or subterfuge. For that hands on feeling brute force is a good choice.

Load More Replies...As a blind person, I'd arrange them in a line from left to right depending on what I use the most.
Put them in alphabetical order with braille labels. This way they at least know where to start.
You have three boxes. One contains only apples, one contains only oranges, and one contains both apples and oranges. The boxes have been incorrectly labeled so that no label accurately identifies the contents of any of the boxes. Opening just one box, and without looking inside, you take out one piece of fruit. By looking at the fruit, how can you immediately label all of the boxes correctly?
"May contain apples or oranges. Packed in a facility that uses tree nuts"
All labels are wrong, so you pick one fruit from the box that says "mixed" (because all are labeled wrong, it cannot be mixed), when the fruit you pick is an apple, that means the box contains only apples. That also means that the box with label orange can only be the mix (it cannot be orange as that is on the label and the other box is already apple, so it has to be the mixed box). The box that had the label apple is thus the mixed box.
Open the one box, when reaching in to remove the 'one piece of fruit' I would feel around, checking to see if all the fruit was the same, or different. That would help knock out one and the other two become 50/50.
I'd open one labeled as a single fruit. That would tell me which of the others has mixed fruit since the mixed label is wrong.
But you aren't allowed to look inside and if you open the one labeled as single fruit but it's mixed, you wouldn't know if it's mixed because you only grab one and not two or more

The real answer is no. But Craftsman works in manufacturing and effin nailed it
The box that must be opened is the one labeled "apples and oranges." By definition, whichever fruit is inside; is the only fruit type that that box contains. Let's say that you found an apple in that box that was labeled with both apples and oranges; because you know it must therefore only contain apples, then you conclude that the box that is labeled "oranges" cannot contain only oranges, as all boxes have been said to be mislabeled. Thus, the box labeled "oranges" must contain both apples and oranges, leaving the box labeled "apples" to contain only oranges.

Why do you think Charles Chaplin is famous?
Because he was talented. He was a real s**t heel, but a talented one.
Charlie Chaplin had a unique charisma about himself, able to capture the essence of the everyman, using his acting abilities to turn his emotions and feelings into a commanding physical presence. Indeed, Charlie Chaplin changed the world for film and became one of the most famous stars of the silent movie era to date. However, he has become more famous in recent years for his notorious 'casting couch' than for any of his other achievements.
If you were a t-shirt, what colour would you be and why?
If I were a t-shirt, I don't think I'd have the conscious ability to make choices.

Why are manholes round?
The manholes/covers are round because no matter how the covers are set they do not fall in. Any other shape and they found the covers would inevitably fall in.
To easily rotate when you lift them up and want to move them just twist.

What would you do if you were the only survivor of a plane crash?
Probably go into shock and wander aimlessly down the mountain until some beautiful wealthy young lady saved me nursed me back to health and fell in love with me and then we lived happily ever after. The End !

Check if the plain is at risk of exploding. Check if I really was the only one who survived. Take a moment to calm down and stop panicking. Search the plain, find everything useful to survive in the wilderness - food, water, warm clothes. Open all the baggages to see if anyone had anything else that could be useful. A knife? Grab the first aid kit. Look for flares and other emergency stuff. Pack everything into the suitcase or bag. Find the nearest source of running water. Find place for setting up a camp. Wait till night, fire a flare. If the plane isn't at risk of exploding, keep as close to it as it's possible to make the chances of being found higher. Spend the night in the wilderness. In the morning, scout the area, maybe climb a tree and see where the nearest town or settlement is. Boil and replenish as much water as possible, set out to the settlement. Hope they will be able to help rescue me.
Pray, hard.Go through all the stages of grief, rapidly, and not neccesarily in order, likely repeatedly. Try to find a way to contact the outside world. Make sure everyone did not make it. Try to cover them respectfully. Try to make a safe shelter. Look for supplies, food, water. Flares if any. Continue to pray.
Who would you let punch you directly in the face?

What is the temperature when it’s twice as cold as zero degrees?
0 degrees celsius is 32 farenheit. Twice as hot as 32 farenheit is 64 farenheit. 64 farenheit is 17-18 degrees.
Why did you go twice as hot instead of twice as cold?
Load More Replies...Stupid question is stupid. There's no correct answer from the information available. Ignoring everything except to math presented in the question, it becomes a simple multiplication problem: 0x2=0. But the question specifies temperature and implies a change, because "twice as cold" indicates a drop from some starting point. Without that starting point, there's no way to know what "twice as cold" would be. If the person asking the question intends the boiling point to be the starting point, we have to know the units. And if the units are Kelvin, nothing is colder than 0.

If two cars are travelling in a two lap race on a track of any length, one going 60 mph and the other going 30 mph, how fast will the slower car have to go to finish at the same time as the faster car?
The question is meant to be: In a 2 lap race on a track of any length, where the fastest car goes 60mph and the slowest car goes 30mph. When the slowest car has done lap, how fast does it have to go now to finish at the same time as the first car. The answer than is either that this is impossible, because at that exact same moment the fast car already finished the second lap or at infinite speed, so the slow car is there at that instant (where infinite speed clearly isn't possible).
So this is where we would use the time machine.

Turns out he wanted someone who could work responsibly but be a drinking buddy once a month or so. We got along splendidly.
