People In This Online Community Shared 30 Cringy Pickup Lines That Actually Are Quite Funny
However we try to avoid it, judging a person on the first impression is just human nature. And you usually want that first impression to be nice and show off how cool you are, because otherwise you can lose the opportunity to get along with someone right from the start.
It’s especially nerve-wracking when you’re talking about a person you might like and want to know more. So you have to think very carefully about what you want your first words to be because there is no turning back.
Most people would advise you to not resort to pickup lines as they are often cheesy and cringey. But they are also often based on a play on words, so in a way, they are kind of funny. And in this list, we gathered the most hilarious ones people on Reddit shared when someone asked “What’s your best worst pickup line that would never get you laid but is hilarious?”
Also, this is not the first time Bored Panda has explored various pickup lines and we have a couple of more articles that you might want to check out. If you click here, you will be directed to a list of the cringiest pickup lines we managed to find, and right here, you can look through some conversations from Tinder that people couldn’t resist screenshotting and sharing because the pickup lines cause secondhand embarrassment.

This one technically did get me laid. I met a girl at a dance at 15 years old. I asked her to dance during a slow song, and during our small talk, I asked, “so… what color is your toothbrush?” Just the dumbest most ridiculous question I could think of.
Fast forward 8 years at our wedding, and my new wife asks during our first dance, “so what color is your toothbrush?” I’ve never been so in love..

Cute thing looked at me and said "Mike?" (which is not my name). My response was, "No, but I'll change my name if you want." She gave out a gut laugh and walked off. Months later she saw me again and started laughing the instant she saw me. I made an impression, just not the one I wanted I guess.

He didn't read the signs. Comedy is one of the best ways to get to know a woman better. If you can make a woman laugh, you can become friends. Bad men don't know how to make a woman laugh.

Back in the day I gave a buddy a pick up line to use. “How much does a polar bear weigh?” He said it to a girl nearby and she’s like “idk like 800 lbs?” And he responded, “yeah that’s what I was thinking, around 1,000 lbs…” and proceeded to chat her up! smh

Mary Rose Kent 3 years ago
I’m not sure why I’ve been downvoted; but Josy gets right to the point. It’s now possible to look up every creature on this Earth and get information about it, photos of it, and to educate yourself about any animal...there’s no reason to imprison them. And zoos take up lots of space that could be rehabilitated and used for housing or growing food.

Nope. All my sisters are the same level of intelligence and beauty, just in different ways: one is elegant and elf-like, one is cute and childish, and I am vampiric and elegant (hopefully). The other 3 sisters aren't old enough to be considered attractive by anyone.

Hey, if I asked you out on a date, would your answer be the same as your answer to this question?

I got a better one: "Are you a shape? Because I like you." (Inside joke). And one that isn't really a pick-up line, but I said it to my crush in front of his friends and family: "I told my friends about you and now I know how many times I can call someone perfect without sounding crazy." He was amused, thankfully, and didn't seem to mind. I believe his response was "really?" He had the most beautiful smile, and very fluffy hair. I need to find him again; I moved away a few years back.

I cannit claim credit for this. There is a guy named Raf on TikTok or YouTube Shorts that goes up to girls with pick up lines. Imo, the best one is: Raf: "Do you give blow jobs to strangers? Girl: "No." Raf: "Let me introduce myself." Although crude, it does a few things well: It shows interest, it shows humor (despite its crassness), and it could open the door to expanding conversation and therefore connection.

I was at a party with some friends a few years back, all the men there were losing their shït over this one very attractive woman. She was getting hit on a lot. So at one point she glanced at one of my guy friends to which he gave her a mean-mug look and said “what the fück are YOU looking at?” Then smiled and laughed to show he was kidding, then turned back to talk to our group. She seemed to get a kick out of that and came over with her friend to hang out with us for a bit. He ended up leaving the party with her.
