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..

Hey girl, are you a concrete arch-gravity embankment in the Black Canyon on the Colorado River, on the border of Nevada and Arizona, constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression and dedicated on September 30, 1935 by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt?
Because DAM

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.

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
#12
Damn girl, are you a mortgage lender? Because you look like you want nothing to do with me.

You got an uglier, dumber sister? I might have a chance with her.
Raven DeathShade 2 years ago (edited)
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.
#23
Are you drinking skim milk because you think you’re fat? Cause you’re not. You could drink whole if you wanted to

Damn girl, are you pizza at a Chinese buffet? Because although I’m not really feeling that right now, I do see you over there and I respect what you’re doing.
I saw this somewhere and it made me cry laughing. 10/10 would blow someone who said this to me as an icebreaker.
#25
Are you a rope? Because i wanna hang with you someday
#26
Hey, if I asked you out on a date, would your answer be the same as your answer to this question?
If they say yes, then that means they'd say yes if you asked them out. If they say no, that means they'd say yes if you asked them out. It's foolproof!

I always liked, "Did it hurt? When you broke through the earth's crust ascending from hell?" I don't know why...it just seems so corny and opposite to the usual angel line. I've never had the confidence to use pickup lines...or any lines for that matter. Lol

Only be the toothbrush was kinda fun. The rest was not hilarious but very cringeworthy and/ or insulting and/or disrespectful.
ZAPanda 2 years ago (edited)
I don't really agree with all of that... I find it really funny when a woman uses a stupid pickup line on me. The more corny it is the funnier it is.

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 liked the toothbrush and the koala one! Not so much the rest of them. Some were a bit funny though.

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.

Why can't men stop being idiots? Just walk up to someone and say, "Hi, can I get you a drink? Do you want to dance, or sit and talk for a few minutes? "
ZAPanda 2 years ago (edited)
Not everyone is you Lyone, so not everyone will try engage with you at the level you prefer. Some people respond to humour. Some people respond to "get a drink". Some people respond to "wanna talk?", and some respond to "wanna dance". You have to judge your person you are interested in, at a distance. And as a result, you can't tell how a person necessarily will respond. Over time you get a sense of your "type" of person and how they walk, talk, gesticulate, speak, etc., and you can identify them in seconds. I can give a simple example. I was at a (non-academic/trade) conference and saw a woman who looked like my type. I went straight up to her and said the name of her university in a question tone. She said "yes, but after that..." and gave another university name. We then sat and spoke about academic stuff. It's a nuanced thing. Other women I've met liked pickup lines, particularly the really really stupid lines. Sometimes they're so funny they're attractive/amusing.
