Funny This or That Questions: Silly, Crazy and Petty: how it works
These funny this or that questions come as a deck of 300 short pairs, from Bed head or hat hair to Dinosaur-sized chicken or chicken-sized dinosaur. Tap a side to vote, pass the phone, and the card shows how the room split. Every pair is printed below the deck.
Deal a pair, tap a side, watch the split
A pair is waiting when the page opens. Pass the phone so each player taps a side, or read both options aloud, count hands and tap once per hand. Next question deals again and Skip puts a pair back. Funny pairs run on speed: three seconds to answer, and "both" does not count. Votes stay on this phone until someone presses Clear votes.
Eight chips, from Funny and silly to Petty debates
Funny and silly holds 45 pairs from real life, such as Snack thief or blanket thief. Crazy what-ifs has the 39 crazy this or that questions nobody can answer from experience: Llama butler or penguin chauffeur. Petty debates is 34 small hills to stand on. The 37 travel this or that questions under Travel suit a long drive. Shows, music and games names kinds of show, never a title.
Tips
Open on Easy, 146 gut picks such as Kazoo or slide whistle. Save the 36 Hard pairs, such as Thermostat at 68 or thermostat at 72, for a loud room.
In a big room, vote with your feet: stand for the first option, stay seated for the second, and the host taps the totals in.
After a Petty debates vote, the losing side gets one sentence. Hot dogs are sandwiches or hot dogs are tacos is funnier defended than counted.
Questions and answers
Is there a list of this or that questions I can copy or print?
Yes. The full this or that questions list sits under the deck: all 300 pairs under the same 8 headings as the chips. It is our own work, so copy a group into a slide, a poll or a lesson plan, or print it from your browser.
Are the crazy and funny pairs clean enough for kids?
Yes. Every pair can be read aloud to a nine-year-old and a grandparent: no dares, no real people, no brand names, no put-downs. Sneeze glitter or burp bubbles is as rude as it gets. For early readers, the kids deck keeps to shorter words.
What makes a this or that question funny?
A fair fight between two small things. A pair with an obvious winner gets a shrug, while Cereal is soup or cereal is not soup gets a speech. The vote count finds the pairs that split your table near half and half, so bring those back next time.

How this list was compiled: Written for this site by the editors; nothing was copied from another list. Every card is a pair of options of one to four words, so both fit on a button, and none is a shortened would you rather card. Each pair was read against the site's family-safe rule: nothing sexual, no alcohol or drugs, no self-harm, no dares, no strangers, no phones, no risky food, nothing illegal, no real people, no brand names, and nothing that puts a player on the spot about their body, money or relationships. The pairs about shows, music and games name kinds of entertainment, never a film, show, book or song title. The whole list was run through a word blocklist on 2026-09-18 and came back clean. Every pair was compared by script on 2026-09-18 with data/this-or-that-generator.json and data/would-you-rather-questions.json: no pair appears in either deck. The cards state no outside facts, so no outside source was needed. No card has a right answer. Difficulty is an editor's judgment: easy is a gut pick, medium takes a beat, and hard is a pair that splits a room. Licence: own work
