Not all of us have been blessed with superb humor or wit as sharp as a whip. Most of us feel caught off-guard when there's a necessity to deliver a funny reconnaissance in a conversation or brighten up the mood. So much so that you might find yourself in very awkward situations, lacking not only funny things to say but things to say at all! Luckily, this pain is shared among many, and plenty of options exist to get out of such a pickle. One of them is to read this list where we've rounded up all the funny expressions. Learn them by heart and use them as a safety net if needed. 

You might even use these funny sayings as conversation starters, but be sure to read the room carefully before you do. They might work the best with the people you already know, but those who don't take risks don't drink champagne. Or don't find themselves in a socially awkward situations.

What Are Some Funny Expressions to Say After Answering the Phone?

Answering our phones is something we do regularly without giving it much thought; however, you can spice up even that. Get some hilarious quotes out, which are more than welcome to include references to anime TV series, Marvel action movies, etc. You can also use these neutral, funny phrases when answering the phone:

  • "Go ahead, caller, you're on the air!"
  • "Bob's crematorium, you kill 'em, we grill 'em."
  • "This is me, is this you?"
  • "Goodbye."
  • "Hippity Hoppity, what's Poppity?"
  • "Is it done?"

Of course, don't go answering phones in your office with a "moshi moshi"; that probably wouldn't get you an "employee of the month" award. But to your friends and family, it would be an excellent start to a conversation.

What Are Some Funny Random Things to Say in a Conversation After Starting With "Guess What"?

You never know what to expect after hearing "Guess what?". It might be some excellent news, a revelation, or something so out of context that you struggle to understand. And that's the joy of it! The suspense following the inquiry and the relief after finally finding out what's that "what." You can serve up something new in your life this way, dashing it with a little bit of comedy quotes and spicing up the otherwise regular conversation.
