#Funny Trivia questions - learn what makes trivia questions fun

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

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 Oґzapft is! , which means what in Bavarian?

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

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.
