Try searching Google for 'funny trivia.' I'm not talking about trivia that's fun, because most good trivia is fun. I'm talking about laugh-inducing trivia. Stuff that's really funny and well-written.
Aug 18, 2017 I used to go to trivia nights often – music round trying to guess a song from a 5 second snippet was good. Usually had a visual round – like had to identify 10 car brands from their symbols. In between rounds some spot prizes from questions, hand up. A collection of quiz questions and answers. Trivia Quiz Questions Available for you to use in your quiz nights and trivia nights free of charge. Test your knowledge or improve it on one of our many free online general knowledge quiz questions or find new ideas for your pub quiz night.
This game is intended to cause laughter. Hopefully it's like a comedic version of a trivia game. That being said, it's still a good trivia game.
The game is intended to be played between two teams. The toss-ups should be read until one team answers. The team that answers then receives a bonus question that only that team can answer. The game is suitable for bar trivia, similar to the format of Geeks Who Drink. Watch the video for an example of how the game is played.
Enjoy!
