16 fun questions that get a laugh on video chat

Nothing rescues an awkward call faster than a question nobody has a serious answer to. These are meant to be argued about, exaggerated and laughed at — which makes them the easiest way to loosen up a stranger.

  1. what's the most useless talent you have?
  2. what's a food combination you love that sounds wrong?
  3. if you had a theme song, what would it be?
  4. what's the weirdest thing you've googled this month?
  5. cereal before or after the milk?
  6. which superpower would be the most inconvenient to have?
  7. what's a hill you'll die on that's completely unimportant?
  8. which fictional world would you live in for a week?
  9. what's the worst haircut you've ever had?
  10. if you were a snack, which one would you be and why?
  11. what's your most irrational fear?
  12. pineapple on pizza — final verdict?
  13. what's the funniest thing you've seen at a wedding?
  14. if you could only speak in movie quotes for a day, which movie?
  15. what would your villain origin story be?
  16. what's the most embarrassing song you know every word to?

When these work

  • When the call has gone stiff or quiet.
  • With a group of friends taking turns on the same account.
  • Before a game — it sets the mood.

What to avoid

  • Explaining the joke. If it needs explaining, skip to the next one.
  • Making the other person's answer the punchline.
