This Quiz Will Reveal Who's Actually Funny

So you think you're pretty funny, huh? But just because you're not afraid to crack jokes, doesn't mean that you're automatically hilarious. In fact, if you have an obsession with trying to be the funniest person in the room, there's a good chance that people can see right through you. And while they may let out a chuckle, deep down they see that you're trying way too hard.

Being funny is something that people rarely talk about, though it is one of the most attractive qualities a person can have. A good sense of humor has long been tied to intelligence and the ability to read other people's emotions; so if you've always been good at cracking people up, you probably don't have a hard time making friends or getting dates.

While comedy is completely subjective, there's definitely a broad range of humor that most people will find funny. And we're here to see where you land on the spectrum.

Maybe you're the type of person who can have people in stitches no matter what the circumstances. Or maybe you really need to get to know someone before you're comfortable enough to crack jokes around them. Or just maybe you're the type of person who needs to stop cracking jokes altogether.

Let's find out.

Question 1

Which show do you think is funnier?

A truly funny person would easily be able to pick out the funniest show, right? While humor is just as subjective as anything else, the better you are at something, the more likely you are to develop a taste for things of a higher quality. One would hope, at least.

Question 2

Which line would be the funniest to say “That’s what she said” after?

Michael Scott from The Office may have popularized the infamous “That’s what she said” punchline — but he is far from the first to use it. In fact, origins of this joke date back to the early 1900s, but it was really SNL that first brought it into mainstream culture.

Question 3

How much time out of the day do you spend looking at memes?

Memes are a concept that is lost on a lot of the older generations. In fact, you can probably recall a number of times a particular meme had you in stitches, only to show the photo to your parents and have them end up scratching their heads.

Question 4

If someone makes fun of you, you usually…

Are you the type of person that can take a joke? There’s an unfortunate amount of people who like to dole out insults, but become overly-sensitive and petty anytime someone pokes fun at them. Hopefully, you’re someone who enjoys exchanging some friendly insults from time-to-time.

Question 5

Pick the funniest caption.

One of the most popular memes of all time, “Bad Luck Brain” made his Internet debut back in a 2012 Reddit post. Since then, this high school photo of Kyle Craven has become synonymous with that one good-natured kid who always seems to get the short end of the stick.

Question 6

Do you need to get to know someone before you can make them laugh?

For many, it can be a nerve-wracking experience to try and crack a joke in front of someone you just met. After all, the wrong joke can easily offend them if you don’t know their disposition. So do you prefer to wait until you get to know them fist?

Question 7

Pick the funniest pick-up line.

As long as cheesy pick-up lines are delivered with the right amount of humility, they’re hardly the worst way to approach someone. Especially if you can get a laugh out of it. So which one of these would you rather have in your arsenal?

Question 8

When you tell a funny story, it usually ends with…

Everyone would like to think they have the skills to leave a room of eager listeners into stitches. But there’s a lot more to entertaining a group of friends than just having something funny happen to you. So what happens when you get to the punch line of your anecdote?

Question 9

Who do you think is the funniest character from The Office?

The Office is easily one of the funniest sitcoms in recent memory. And even though it has been off the air for a number of years, people continue to binge-watch the series on Netflix. Often in a continuous, never-ending loop.

Question 10

What’s your favorite kind of comedy movie?

There are plenty of movies that straddle the line between comedy and another genre entirely. Which is good news if you’d prefer to watch a movie with a little more substance while still getting a healthy sprinkle of laughs mixed in.

Question 11

Which male stand-up comedian do you think is funnier?

If you’re ever struggling to find a good movie or TV show to watch on Netflix, they have an impressive number of stand-up specials that are worth checking out. In fact, plenty of mainstream comedians now specifically make their specials straight for the streaming service.

Question 12

Which female stand-up comedian do you think is funnier?

Female comedians often don’t get the credit they deserve. We have yet to have a female host of a mainstream late-night talk show despite there being many talented women up to the task. So out of these four, which one makes you laugh the most?

Question 13

Who do you think is the funniest character on Modern Family?

Pretty much every character on Modern Family is hilarious in their own right. So to keep it simple, we’ll just stick with the Dunphy family. So do you enjoy the cringe-worthy dad jokes that Phil lets slip out? Or do you prefer watching the perfectionist Claire unravel amidst crisis?

Question 14

Pick the funniest one-liner.

One-liners are hard to pull off, and they almost always include a pun. And, in fact, one-liners usually aren’t even one-liners at all, as they still require a one sentence set up and a one sentence punchline. But "two-liner" just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Question 15

Your best jokes usually involve…

Are you only good at getting laughs using one kind of particular tactic? For instance, are you comfortable enough to engage an entire room with a hilarious story? Or are you the person punching holes in their story and making snarking comments to the person closest to you?

Question 16

Which movie do you think is funnier?

Comedy is extremely generational, meaning that there’s a very good chance you and your parents won’t often find the same things funny. So out of these four hit comedies from the 1990s and 2000s, which one cracks you up the most?

Question 17

Do you believe certain topics shouldn’t be joked about?

We’re living in a bizarre time when certain touchy topics simultaneously seem like they’re either totally off-limits, or they’re the basis of the funniest joke you’ve ever heard. So are you able to laugh at something serious so long as it’s part of a clever setup?

Question 18

Which animals are intrinsically funnier?

There is no shortage of hilarious animal memes and videos on the Internet. While the debate between which animal makes a better pet will continue on for eternity, just remember, we’re simply asking which one is funnier. So try to be objective.

Question 19

What kinds of Youtube videos do you watch when you need a good laugh?

While there’s plenty of serious content on Youtube, there’s a good chance that you turn to this site for something with a little more levity that will give you a quick fix of laughter throughout an otherwise mundane day. So, what’s your go-to?

Question 20

Who do you make laugh the most?

For most people, the easiest people to make laugh are the ones closest to you. So if you have a significant other, there’s a good chance that they’ll be your pick. Or maybe it’s your closest friends who are the only ones to fully understand your bizarre breed of humor?

Question 21

Who do you make laugh the least?

In other words, who is it that does simply not get your brand of humor? If it’s your family, there’s a good chance that there’s just a generational gap, which is extremely normal. But if it’s your significant other, it sounds like your relationship might be on thin ice.

Question 22

Pick out the funniest “Yo’ momma” joke.

Admittedly, yo’ momma jokes are pretty out of date at this point. And they were never really that funny to begin with. But if somebody cracks out an extremely clever one at the right time, it can’t help but entice a wave of nostalgic laughter.

Question 23

If your friend injures themselves, what is your response?

There’s actually a word for someone who derives pleasure from someone else’s pain. It’s called “schadenfreude” and most of us are apt to have ourselves a good chuckle at a friend accidentally inflicting some damage upon themselves. Unless you’re simply better than the rest of us.

Question 24

Pick the funniest caption.

This popular meme, often referred to as Clarity Clarence is dedicated to those moments when you realize some deep truth about life. Or those moments when you realize you've been wrong all along. Or shower thoughts...

Question 25

Which late night host do you think is the funniest?

There’s no longer just a couple late night hosts to chose from like back in the old days. Now every network seems to have their own late night comedian performing a monologue and talking to guests. But for this quiz, will stick with a few of the better-known ones.

Question 26

What does the word “snafu” mean?

Wait — why did this suddenly turn into a vocabulary test? While you may think that has nothing to do with humor, part of being funny is being smart, and part of being smart is knowing more words. Especially when they’re as funny sounding as the word “snafu.”

Question 27

Where do you place amongst your siblings?

They say the oldest sibling is most likely to be the most responsible one, while the middle children often ends up earning the most money. That means the title of funniest/ most creative child usually goes to the youngest. (NOTE: All bets are off when you're an only child.)

Question 28

Pick the funniest caption.

One of the newer memes to enter the Internet Rolodex, this image of British actor Kayode Ewumi first aired as a video back in 2016. But later that year, this now famous screenshot was first posted with a caption — creating the “Roll Safe” meme we’ve all come to love.

Question 29

Pick the funniest animated show.

While there’s plenty of hilarious live-action shows out there today, some of the best comedy available might just be in the animated form. So do you regularly tune into these ‘toons? Or do you consider yourself too much of an adult to still be watching animation?

Question 30

Have you ever tried stand-up comedy?

People hate public speaking more than death. Now just imagine throwing the added pressure of trying to get laughs at the same time. This is what keeps the masses away from trying their hand at stand-up comedy. But have you ever been brave enough to give it a shot?

Question 31

What's the best quality in a comedian?

Do you think being funny is something that people can learn to do? Is it something you're born with? Or maybe something that develops over time? Out of these four options, which one do you think has the greatest impact on someone’s overall sense of humor?

Question 32

What does the word “canoodle” mean?

man-thinking-small-resize

This is just another hilarious word that you could incorporate into one of your side-splitting stories. Provided you know what it means, of course. And if you don’t, it doesn’t definitely mean that you’re not funny. Just that you might be more of a physical comedian, rather than a wordsmith.

Question 33

Pick the funniest caption.

Who doesn’t love a good bad joke for the sake of a bad joke? Luckily, that’s where this Bad Joke Eel meme comes into play! So which one of these pun-based one-liners or anti-jokes do you think is the funniest?

Question 34

Who do you think is the funniest character on Seinfeld?

Often ranked as the greatest sitcom of all time, it’s a shame that the younger generations are getting further and further away from this classic. But if you like to think of yourself as a bit of a comedian, we’d assume you've seen at least a couple episodes.

Question 35

In high school, were you elected class clown/ funniest student?

For many people, high school will be the funniest times of your life. You’re surrounded by your peers who you’ve grown up with, meaning that you all have a similar disposition, and you don’t have a care in the world to bring you down. But were you the funniest?

Question 36

Do you have a tendency to laugh at your own jokes?

In sitcoms and in stand-up comedy, nobody laughs at their own jokes. And while this may make sense for the performance, it’s hardly the way things carry out in real life. So are you one of the many who can’t help crack up at their own funnies?

Question 37

Which gender can you make laugh more?

If you’re someone who has an easier time making the opposite sex laugh, then we’ll surely be impressed. Because as a whole, you probably have a much easier time connecting with your same-sex friends rather than someone you’re trying to impress.

Question 38

Who do you think is the funniest character on The Big Bang Theory?

The Big Bang Theory is undeniably one of the most popular sitcoms on television. It’s turned out a whopping 12 seasons to date, including a spin-off series. But does that means that it’s actually funny, or that most people are sheep?

Question 39

Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Being an introvert doesn’t automatically mean you’re not funny. Sure, you might have a hard time cracking jokes in front of strangers. But since you’re more like to have a higher emotional I.Q., you could be killing it amongst your closest friends.

Question 40

Comedy aside, how do you feel about the human race in general?

Comedy is really a defense mechanism against negative emotions. So when you look around at the state of the world, do you see so much ridiculousness that you need to laugh so you don't cry? Or do you feel like everything is going just fine and dandy?
