Writing funny trivia questions requires a combination of
general knowledge, writing talent, and yes – being funny. Not many
people have all these skills together, so really funny trivia
questions can be hard to find. But what is it that makes trivia
questions funny ? Here are a few examples of funny trivia questions
to explore this:
Funny trivia question number 1
This question is one of many funny trivia questions that have a punch-line:
Who composed "the star-spangled banner"?
1. John Eliott Raymond
2.
Francis Scott
Key
3. Madonna
4. No one knows for sure - it's sung to the tune of an old English
drinking song
Fun trivia questions like this one often have surprising answers, like
answer 3 in this question, which are not true but are there to make
you smile, however in really good trivia questions, the correct
answer is also funny and is a kind of puch-line. In this case, the correct answer is number 4. The
American anthem is indeed sung to the tune of an English drinking
song. Maybe the authors were too drunk to take credit for this famous
tune, but the author
of this funny trivia question sure knew what he was doing.
Funny trivia question number 2
When the mayor of Munich opens the beer drinking festival known as
Oktoberfest he taps a keg of beer and declares "O´zapft is!", which
means what in Bavarian?
1. It is tapped!
2. Bottoms up!
3. Drink till you drop!
4. So fast it is!
This trivia question falls into the category of funny trivia
questions because it is nonsensical, and of course, talks about beer!
The answer is easily guessed. Though phonetically answer number 4 is
closest, actually number 1 is the correct answer. Even if you don't
speak Bavarian, you can easily guess from the text of the question
itself that this would be the right answer. These kind of trivia
questions are less about education and more about entertainment, and
that’s fine too.
Funny trivia question number 3
This trivia question is just fun!
The world's highest Waterfall, Angel Falls, which drops from
Devil's Mountain, is located where?
1. Africa
2. Brazil
3. Guatemala
4.
Venezuela
This question is a classic in its genre of trivia questions because
getting the answer right is in fact less interesting then the question
itself. The nice play between the angels and the devils make this an
excellent trivia question which is fun to play whether you know the
answer or not.
Funny trivia question number 4
This question combines the "who said it" category with the funny
trivia questions category due to its subject:
Who said: "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity
to anyone, but they've always worked for me."?
1. Ozzy Osborne
2. O.J Simpson
3. Hunter S. Thompson
4. Ronald Reagan
It won't be a great surprise to anyone to find out that 3 is the
right answer since Thompson is renowned for his affinity with these
things, as expressed in his novel "fear and loathing in Las Vegas",
however just the audacity of his statement earns this question a place
in the fun trivia questions category.
